  • Windows Movie Maker [sk8 video tour]

    I notice MS gets ripped on a lot but I have to say this is a great little tool for basic video editing and dubbing http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/m...er/default.asp and there's even some cool add-ons there too. So I give MS a big thumbs up for this one, pretty cool stuff... Great transitions, efects, and titling purely from an "ease of use" standpoint. Definitely not a pro tool but a great video scratchpad...

    I have to say it was refreshing to be able to just quickly whip up what I needed, I love this little app. I even made a little skate video for anyone who wants a quick bird's eye tour of our park. (Quality is very limited since I did this with my cybershot and didn't plan it well or anything) No big tricks, a couple ollies and a backside 180 at the end (which may be the reason my camera's USB port suddenly stopped working ), but I was paranoid about my camera getting dropped if I tried anything... But at least it gives you a quick full action glance of the place... Didn't have any time at all to mess around with the file size so they're a tad fat but most of you are on cable anyways, so splurge and download the 7MB file already...

    BTW just for reference, the small humps are around 5 feet tall or so and the bigger drops and humps we go over are around 12 feet tall, perfect scale. not too small, not too big. I shot this on Thanksgiving day last week, -6 degrees Celcius at the time. Watch it full screen with Count Floyd's terrifying 3D glasses for full scariness kids... Owwwooooo!

    Wow Corey - you have more guts than I do... And more talent on rolling wheels for that matter.

    That skate park looks pretty amazing. I see there was one other intrepid skater out there with you - minus 6, eh? Brrrrr. High of 28 here today.

      It's just like standing on your kitchen floor. A little piece of your kitchen floor which is moving through space... It's just repetition like anything else. Anyhow any random 9 year old from the park can skate circles around me, I'm nothing compared to them...

      +28 eh? Hmmm, I can't that say I'm not jealous of that...

          Joe Flaherty is one of the funniest humans, ever. Not sure why more people never got that. I can't even look at him without laughing. SCTV was filmed a few blocks from my house as s kid for a couple years and it was a HUGE influence on me and the way I see the world.

            Corey is that the Millenium skate park? I have heard that it is an excelent facility. Looks pretty good from the movie.

              Yes it is and it is sooooooo good. I will take some more clips if I ever get a minute free from work this week. I'll take you inside the tube, the bowl, the clover bowl, over to the expert side, and to some rails, etc...
