  1. I prefer 16:9 because its a much wider scope, similar to how we see things with our eyes, it appears to us as if we were actually there. 4:3 looks quite un-natural to me, like looking through a keyhole. 4:3 can be used this way quite effectively though if that's the look you are going for.

    Saying that: if you really have that much difficulty framing shots in 16:9 (which I'm sure you don't), then I probably won't be interested in your video - regardless of its aspect ratio.

    Good luck!

  2. I'm guessing it was probably me you saw, as there's not many of us left in Louth! I mostly ride here, occasionally Skeg or Clee, but I never really have the time to justify driving there.

    I like riding at what used to be the Browns MG/Rover garage (next to Londis) before they knocked it down, that's a good place for beginners.

    Then there is also:

    • The Cattle Market (really good for beginners)
    • The Bus Station
    • What used to be Quicksave carpark
    • The Hospital has some good stuff too, if you enter it and head right immediatley, it will take you to some walls and gaps.
    • The walls and steps around Kai's Bar (Wetherspoons now)
    • The back of the building to the right of the police station (I think its social services, I've never paid attention)
    • If you want to practise on some pallets, we used to go to Eastern Box on the industrial estate, just make sure you put the pallets back when you're finished!

    I can't think of anywhere else right now. Mostly just ride what you find! Its how we discovered most of those spots.

    If you ever see me out (purple brakeless 24") feel free to come say hello.

    Mines no where near as interesting as Hannah's, I mainly use it to follow film blogs, and just post stuff when I have something to vent.

    I like Tumblr. Its a great idea, its just a shame that 10 million hipsters found it and turned EVERYTHING into pop culture references.

    For personal posts I think it has the same benefits of keeping a diary in a way, except that anybody can see it, so you have to be really honest.

    I mainly post video/film stuff that I make, but lately I've just been posting random crap due to procrastination :P

  4. Yea.... like on posting up some holiday pictures and from a house party, me windmilling and me in a thong for the whole night.... I don't want old people in my friends to be seeing that shit.

    I don't mean to sound like a salesman, but that's one of the benefits of Google +. You can sort people into 'circles' of friends, family, aquaintances, or following. Then whenever you post something you can decide which circles (or individuals) to share it with.

    I got it just before invites stopped, unfortunatley I can't really use it because only 2 of my friends have it :lol:

    The biggest issue it will have is drawing people away from Facebook. Most people use facebook to chat with their mates and see what they are up to, whilst this is almost an amalgamation of FB, twitter, and blogging- all features that your average FB user isn't too bothered about. And then if their friends want it, but none of their friends use it - they aren't going to join it.

    It will be interesting to see what facebook responds with...

  5. See I never really paid attention to that website much before, what have I been missing?!?

    About ten thousand pages of softcore pornography sandwiched inbetween two thousand pages of personal life, pop culture references, funny pictures, and occasionally something important/interesting.

    Its nice, because its a bit like a cross between blogspot and facebook. So you can see what people are posting without having to visit their page.

    Anyway, women:

  6. This looks like the best ride I never went to, the riding was awesome, and everything I'm about. I've gotta go to the next one, even if I am a total stranger to all you guys.

    Who was the brakeless guy absolutley killing it?

  7. As the previous poster said, you need AE and twixtor. Does your camera record interlaced footage? Look into bob deinterlacing, although it gives you a very jittery image at half the resolution that you recorded at. Then if you rendered in Vegas setting the quality to either Good, or Best, Vegas will blend each frame together to make the motion a little smoother.

    Rendering it at 60fps won't make it slower. If you wanted it to play slower, then you would have to right click on it in the timeline, click on properties and change the playback speed. The problem that you have there, is if you wanted a 30fps clip to play at halfspeed, you would get 15fps which looks terrible.

  8. This was really good! I think perhaps you could have got an interview to talk about the stuff mentioned in the titles? But thats just a minor thing.

    Some massive riding going on in there too, wtf at 00:57!

    Nice work mate.
