Video Ride Report: Scooting Skid Row

Post by JHScoot »

Well I got a cheap camera and man is it cheap! I made a thread about it but who knows where it went?

I have used it a few times and while its novel to video my rides, i think it will wear thin on me over time. Even with a better camera. So, what to do?

Well, I decided to make a little web series and update it here at MB on occasion, thats what to do. You can read the description of what the series will entail on the youtube page, but this is the first video of the series. Which I didn't know was going to be a series until i got home and saw the vid. So the quality of said vid is low / poor....but i will try to do better in the future. So, let the story begin =]

Interesting to say the least, but just a small critique. Teach yourself to Pan slower, too much jerky,quick movements. I know from the last part it was nesscessary so you didn't get 'jacked (especially at the red light), but the earlier part of the vid left me wanting to see what you saw and it just wasn't happening. Overall I think your first time shoot was successful for what you were trying to convey, and I feel that your future installments will only get better. Keep up your endevours, you may not win the cinematographer award, but who needs a bulky statue anyway.

I would agree with Arogod- you need to pan slower. I have never been to LA so it was hard to tell what you were filming because it went by too quickly. I like your captions and the music. It was a good first try and hopefully with more practice it will be smoother.

Take us to the beach if you can! :D

I was hand-raised in California and I miss it constantly! I'm landlocked here in Atlanta!
