Alderney 2016

[Adam F]

Guys,

Managed to clip together a bit of footage from this year's Alderney trip on JV. You'll need to watch it on a PC as opposed to mobile device, as silly US Copyright laws prevent it from being available on all media.

Was a little short of footage this time around due to skippering, catching and filming but nonetheless I've managed a snappy 2 min film to give you a taste of the trip.

Nice Adam

 

Get a feel of the trip started choppy and calmed down.

 

Need to learn how to edit go pro clips

[Adam F]

I find it hard to get to the meetings nowadays but if I could in the near future id be happy to run through the GoPro and how to manage the footage?

[Maverick Martin]

That would  be a great topic.  My boys bought me a gopro which has been sat on my desk waiting for me to have a go for months now. Would be good to get kick started into using it

Good vid Adam

 

and here's why it's best to avoid mooring by the Alderney breakwater, even in balmy August...

I'll try and get to the sept meet. What date is it?

[Maverick Martin]

It was last week so try harder 

[Adam F]

October then. I'll cover off using the GoPro and various different mounts and angles etc and then move onto basic data handling and editing of the footage.

 

Thurs 6th Oct - in the diary

[Rob]

Oh - GoPro footage of the Phoenix Club - that will be a first!

Thanks Adam

 

4 days before we take it on holiday

 

Will and I might even remember the tips

Would it be Okay for me to bring Brad along  to the meeting as we bought him a GoPro for his Birthday this Summer and he would benefit greatly from Adam's talk and editing details?

 

Greg

[Maverick Martin]

Greg no problem with Brad coming to the meeting, he is after all a member

[Maverick Martin]

Just checked and confirmed with Tony we already have a speaker booked for October.  November is free as is Jan, Feb & March next year, can you do  any of these dates Adam?

[Jim]

Adam won't be able to do it so you'll have to do it yourselves.

I can't do it cos I've forgotten.

If you're over 18. . . . . . .

1 )     Go and buy a few beers.

2 )     If you're in the same room as someone else get your headphones.

3 )     Go online to youtube.

4 )     Open a beer.

5 )     search for things like this:   

 

 

If you're under 18 soft drinks only 

 

 

Enjoy your evening.

 

Jim

       

[Adam F]

No problem, I'll aim for Nov then.

 

Charlie, if I still get to the meeting I'm happy to run through a few basics so you can use it on your hols.

 

My best advise in the meantime is to get hold a a mixed mounting kit, something like this:

[Rob]

Plus tips on making footage are prob more important before you go Charlie.

 

Key thing is try and make slow if moving \ rotating, steady lengthy shots. nothing worse than having loads of 10 second shots to stitch together.

 

R

[Adam F]

Two key areas to all of this really - 1) getting the best raw footage you can and 2) stitching it all together.

 

For the first bit - it really helps if you can have a bit of an idea in your head of what the finished vid may look like - 'start with the end in mind' This will then give you a virtual list of what shorts you need. This is where the big box of mounts come in - you can really add some interest to your videos by having a variety of mounts and angles. Getting a steady shot is important, however dont be too paranoid about the whole clip being dead steady - in reality you'll want just a few seconds of steady clear footage, the rest gets clipped out.

Thanks guys

 

this year we are going with Wills son Stuart who hopefully knows how it all works, including control through a phone [which eats battery life] or by the remote.

 

I am borrowing Dan's camera and all of his attachment's, we may even squeeze the pole in the rod tube.

 

Dan and I bought extra batteries and a double charger, so hopefully that should not be an issue again.

 

the best shots last year were shore ones with the camera on a small tripod.

The bigger fish on the boats took too long to get in and need to start stop the camera too often.

[Paul J]

Good job Adam and a cool topic, i like a good fishing Vid.

 

As Adam and Rob suggested having a plan ( storyline/sequence) really helps cut out short random shots, filming instead of fishing is the hard bit
