    Great work Doug! I like the beginning like It Is, kinda looks like a mirage as sprock walks over the dune. Who flicks the bike sideways then drops In at 3:37 ??? It's kinda hard to see, It's In the backround at the top of the screen. Awesome video action of Billy flying with the R, that was Friggin SWEET!!!

    I wish the video would give a better perspective of how steep the sand really Is. Maybe mount a camera to the front axle next year??? The transition's are soo much fun on a 3 wheeler.

    That would be me.

    Me and Billy talked about a mount that attaches to the front brake caliper. It didn't work out on this trip but I'm sure we'll have a couple new things worked out by the next Invasion. I assume you're coming back right? Next time I need to do a better job of getting at least SOME footage of everybody. Kinda hard with that many people. I definitely need to have the camera looking backwards when I'm out front as well. The view from up front makes for a boring video.

    I *should* have all new, high definition equipment by the next ride...


    Edit: I'll throw this out there for all you fabricating smart people.

    The only way I can think of that a video MIGHT give viewers an idea what the dunes are really like would be to use some kind of counter-weighted mount that will swing and keep the camera on a level plane as the bike is twisting and turning. The real problem would be making something like that while coming up with a way to keep it from swinging wildly all the time.

    Wrap your brains around that and let me know if you come up with anything.

One thing you wanna watch for is interlacing, if you notice when the guy appears from behind the sand hill in the beginning you can see the fields separated creating lines through him. Try and de-interlace it when you export it or in the editing program you are using.
    i didn't know if he did that on purpose,,, but i actually like the effect!!!!

    That video made my day. The camera angles are amazing. I'd say from someone who's never been there it give ya the feeling that you have. Maybe for everyone thats been they are thinking, "You can't see how steep it really is" But it looks steep and incredible. Makes me want a 2 stroke and some huge dunes to tear it up on.

    I thought it was supposed to be there.... In the Star Wars movies when they look thru the rangefinders at distant objects it has tat same effect.

    Way cool intro. I want a DVD and I wasn't even there.

    The lines aren't supposed to be there but thanks for thinking it was intentional.

    The camera it was shot on was probably a 1080i camera. When you play an interlaced video on a computer (computers use progressive scan displays, not interlaced like some tube TV's and some older rear projections HDTV's are) you get those horizontal lines. A de-interlacing filter would fix it but I only know how to do that in Photoshop to a still image.

    Dang , you are one heck of a film maker. It would be cool to mount a camera right under the headlight on a stock R, it would give a good view, panoramic capability maybe???

    I've mounted it directly to the headlight of my 350x several times.

    You can de-interlace if you have quicktime pro, final cut pro, premiere, etc.

    Premiere is giving me problems still. I didn't know Quicktime Pro could do it and I just finally got Pro recently. Oh well. I'm not going back and fixing it at this point. The way cheap arse Windows Movie Maker works would make me re-cut the whole thing just to fix that one clip. There's no multi-track (audio term, sorry I don't know the video equivelant) so I can't just pull that out, fix it and re-compile.

    I'm slowly building a new PC so I can ditch WMM and concentrate on figuring out what the deal is with Premiere. I know part of the problem I'm having with it is simply not enough processing power/memory in my current PC.

    I need a nice shiny new Mac...
