Fast 0 #1 October 27, 2006 What do you think? This is my first attempt at editing non-tandem video. Its lots of freeflying / highlights from '06. http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5064~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

bigway 4 #5 October 27, 2006 Excellent camera work, Nice editing! Personally i think the music was too slow for a lot of the flying. Music with a bit more life in it would have complimented the awesome jumpers you were filming. Just my opinion though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Tru 0 #9 October 27, 2006 Well done! What editing program do you use? How did you cut yourself out at the beginning credits?In your life may you do four things - lie, cheat, steal, and drink.

Fast 0 #10 October 27, 2006 QuoteNice video. Was that your POV swoopin the trees at the end? Yes it was my POV. I have swooped those trees so many times, it was kinda crazy, I was coming out of the turn and the canopy was diving and I decided to stick with it, and then it leveled out and I new I was fucked for a good length of time. Wasn't really hurt or anything just shook it off and went and had a beer. The majority of the editing was done in premier pro 2, that is for the layout, audio, and some color correction. The special effects were all done in After Effects. The cutout of me is something I did by hand with a tool called 'Vector Paint' which basically lets you paint a mask onto a frame. I did about 45 frames by hand, it took about 4 hours. I could have done it faster if I owned a tablet but that is something I am considering buying when I have more money. (I want an intuos3) As for the music choice, the middle song wasn't the best pick it should have been faster, yeah... Thanks for the comments hope you like the video. I have had some great opertunities to jump with and video some amazing flyers.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

I do a lot of photo stuff too, so eventually I am going to get one.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Icon134 0 #13 October 27, 2006 I don't know what size you are considering but I just got the 4x5 (I think they have replaced it with a 4x6 now) and that is more then enough (though I'd like a second one since I have 2 displays... ) I bought mine refurbished which saved me about $50 direct from the intuos website... http://www.intuos.com/Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
