Heya, here’s a little video I’ve made — it’s been a wee labor of love the last month or so. I guess it’s about the Spring wildflowers, magpies and mountain biking… or it could be about a mid 40’s guy having yet another immensely enjoyable mid life crisis.
Humor a hippie and watch it. If you think the video sucks, close your eyes and just enjoy the music — Old Pine by Ben Howard — it’s groovy music! 🙂
The video was shot on a Panasonic Lumix GH2. Crank up Youtube’s quality setting to 720p HD or greater and view full screen. What else is bandwidth for hey?
Hi Pete,
Great video mate, I especially love the Magpies choraling throughout it. Music’s nice too. All static camera work, how come no GoPro?
Cheers,
Dmac
Heya thanks Dmac!
I wanted to learn to drive the GH2 better for video, and wanted the video all to have that look so yeah gave the GoPro a rest.
Doing it by myself meant a steady cam was out too, so yeah all static shots. Am making a home made steady cam though for next time around.
It sucked up so many hours, but I really enjoyed it. Don’t think the old PC did though!
Good to see a well put together video of riding that mere mortals can aspire to. Don’t get me wrong I love watching people sending big hucks and gaps at speed… 😉 but I also like videos that show the essence of MTBing. Well done!
Cheers.
Top notch video Pete. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Cheers.
Hi Pete! Found your site and this video. Such a great video. Nice, calm and action-packed in very nice scenary. Thumbs up for the effort making that. Liked, that is was so calm to watch, by the static filming.
thanks all, was definitely good fun to make!
This is why I ride. Beautiful video!
Fantastic editing. Good choice of music.
