Last week we painted our bedroom

Last week we painted our bedroom. I thought it would be a perfect occasion to try out one of our wedding presents that I was totally stoked to use since we got it. My new GoPro camera! It’s mainly for when we go on our real honeymoon. So we can mount it to our helmets while riding scooters and motorcycles around Europe.

I used the multishot function on the camera to take a photo every 10 seconds for the time we were painting and then assembled them in Adobe Premiere to add the beginning and ending shots and the sound track.

We use Behr Premium Paint plus Primer for all of our painting and it covers everything! We’ve been painting a lot since we moved in then had emergency renovations to the entire house then had to repaint again. None of the room needed two coats but the wall farthest away from the camera got two because I painted the graffiti a little too thick and you could see it still when the paint dried.

There will be more GoPro videos coming soon!



Video killed the photography guy

I’ve been thinking about video more and more lately. I used to be a huge photography nerd. So much so I went in to major debt going to school just to learn more about it. TWICE! Two programs. Now I don’t use it much. Some people say it’s a dying art. Some people think it’s “going bad” because of the ease of picking up a camera these days. I don’t know what I really think about all that but I do know I’m going to try my hand at video more now.

I borrowed my brothers Kodak PlaySport and I’m going to give it a try while we’re out in Whistler.

I just took my first video. It’s of our bathroom cause I’m proud of it.



Isle of Man TT in Slow-Mo

Duke Video has assembled a preview for thier upcoming DVD of coverage of the Isle of Man TT race. This video is not to be missed! All in slow motion one can see just how much strain the riders and bikes face as they hit the asphalt coming to a landing off some of the bumps. Watch the tires and shocks compress and the incredible balance. Some of those airs look pretty sketchy and almost look like they’d cause a wreck. These are things you don’t see in real time.
