isitafox Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well here is my first vid made using my new Kodak ZX1 pocket camcorder. For £50 she was a bargain for the quality you get from such a small piece of kit. Bear in mind I made this more to test the camera and have my first go at editing something together, used Videopad editing software (cause its free and windows movie maker is crap) to put it together. The ridings bit ropey as I was in a bit of a rush to get it done and the angles are poor as I was on my own so had to balance the camera on walls etc. but should hopefully be getting a mini tripod, strap to fit it to helmet/handlebars and get my mate out so we can film each other soon enough.

JD™ Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Before people start ripping the shit out of his riding: remember you were there once... I love the bike man, old school for the win. You're right, that camera does look pretty good for 50 notes too. Keep getting the practise in, try to lose those correction hops and the bashrings usage and you'll be on for some quality vids soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers matey, only just got back into riding after a LONG time off so still a bit sketchy but its coming along. Think I was correcting a lot cause I was rushing it all, especially having to press record, ride up the wall, get back down and get back to stop it whilst keeping it quite short. Will hopefully get out later with a mate who can record for me and vice versa so will have a bit more time practising beforehand and be more relaxed!

Try not to worry about that stuff, remember you can edit the length of the clips after. So just keep it rolling, keep the move going till you get a take you'd be happy with then hit stop. When you get to editing you just keep the start to end of the once you liked I know the feeling though, I'm just as sketchy right now after a good 4 years off.

Captain Scarlet Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Amazing picture for £50 much crisper video resolution than standard DV cams costing 3 times as much Yea thats better than my £200 Sony Handycam, but then again you've got to remember the larger handycams are more a larger product, having still image functions, touch screen display, zooms, better storage capacity etc. Really enjoyed watching, just for the future you need to shorten the clips, and have a bit of a fitting track. Bike looks awesome for a basic build! Would say wear a helmet but I can see that your likely to invest in one so you can film from it.

Yeah like I said it was mainly a tester for the camera to see what the quality was like and just have a quick go with an editing program. Gonna try an get a better program for editing as the one I used was only a freebie, and helmet shall be ordered later on tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
