pilotdave 0 #2 December 22, 2001 No problem. I'll move the file to a better directory when I get a chance (I'm away from the server right now and my FTP program won't seem to let me move files). For now, here's a working link to it: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/uploads/Arthursjumps.mov. By the way, I cant view it from here. Whats the most appropriate directory for it? /misc/? What about the other files in the uploads directory? Where do they belong? Thanks,Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wceviper 0 #4 December 22, 2001 That Video Rocks! I love the combo of still photos with the video! What song is that playing the backround?-Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #5 December 22, 2001 Thanx jason the song is Incubus "I wish you were here" its off there new album Morning View.oh and just incase you can't read the text The first one says "Whuffo you jump out dem planes", then "Mommy whats wrong with his face", "Franks&Beans" , "Should i arche more?", "No!!!", Then the part i can barly read "I have a surprise for him.......", "he has no idea whats going on!!", "I am going to push him out" this was all done as inside jokes for the Otay crew. The last one about me being pushed was b/c on my grad jump Adam the jm played a trick on me and shoved me out of the plane when i wasn't ready but i did fine. anyway sorry about the text thing i didn't know it was going to turn out so shity.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #7 December 23, 2001 finally got a chance to see it. Great job! very cool video. All text was completely readable too, by the way. What in the world did you do to that jumpsuit on AFF 1? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #8 December 23, 2001 Great video Viking! Do you happen to have a video of the actual video? I like the stills thing, but having the whole video would be cool too.Yeah....and what PD said. WTF happened to your suit?? -------------JumpinDuo.com...news, guestbook, and links.

Viking 0 #9 December 23, 2001 thanx guys, i will explain the suit thing in just a sec. Brandon what do you mean by the actual video? do you mean the actual jump vids from the dz or the video you just watched but on vhs? please explain.Now back to the jump suit.....As luck would have it the jumpsuit i chose for my lvl1 jump had a bad zipper that i didn't know about till i was in the sadle, i looked down to see where i was and i saw my shorts and i swear to god i said "WTF Isn't there supposed to be a jumpsuit there!!" i then saw it trailing behind me and figures out the rest. If you watch the jump vid you can see the zipper give way just as i start my practice touchs. I felt somthing wipping my ankle in free fall but that being my first jump thought it was just the loose fabric slapping around. then when i dumped the opening made the zipper go right up to my chest. I got quit a few smart ass remarks from the people on the ground and my JM's I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mountainman 0 #10 December 23, 2001 i mean the actual video from which the stills are taken from. i guess i just wondered if you had those made to a movie too for the 'puter. nothing big. -------------JumpinDuo.com...news, guestbook, and links.

Viking 0 #11 December 23, 2001 oh i see well i tryed to get as many of the still from actuall 35mm film and not from the video b/c the quality isn't as good. and i can get the full length versions of all my jumps thus far when school starts back up. In much better quality mind you. You can see my freak arch in action . but this won't happen till like mid Jan unless i can get Dave to make them into .mov files for me.......i will ask him in the morning.

airann 1 #12 December 23, 2001 STOP using my picture at the beach on you video without written permission from me!!! Damn, I thought I lost that bathing suit. At least the top part.VIKING you little shyt!! Is that YOU? hummmm, kinda cute arent cha? Do something with my video Dude... My vid rocks socks, Man! If you worked with it you could be a hero.This is actually the only video I have ever made. I broke 5 bones on this jump. After that I kept having trouble with the freakin standby button. Tom from Elsinore sent me a CameEye II for Christmas, (and I havent even met him, huh... video cams rae good ). So that issue is resolving. I have been told by many a camera dude that for a first video it rocks huge. I have the plane in the background and the whole 9 yards. The only thing I hate about it is when I went headdown I wound up 90 degrees off from Nick. I did not take into consideration I had a rudder on my head. (its a topmounted TRV11, which is the only quality film way to go, imo) Anyway, you can see that I get unstable and I fixed that by grabbin my helmet and holding it. Then I carve back to a sit and look for Nick then he shows back up again outside of a cloud. Hey, Hey, Hey... I want my video that I shot of Nick on here someplace... I was going to put it in the video vault - but I cant figure out how. ? It is the video I shot on my first camera jump. I took out the part where I landed and broke extremities.http://www.AirAnn.comUgly Girl #6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
