Mini DV is the wrong camera, you need one with analogue input as the digital versions of lipstick cams are more than $5k each. Original message Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 20:58:36 +0930 From: Mark Newton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Wicket Cam for Gliding Movie To:

Guys and Gals, What is the scope and target audience of the proposed Gliding Movie? The reason I am asking is, I have recently seen some great sport presentations 30 to 60 minutes on sports including paragliding, canoeing, scuba, and they make the activities look very exciting. I have not seen

This should attract people to gliding who may have written the sport off as not for them because of misconceptions. Editing out the terry towelling hats, beige clothing and dorky types might be a good start... (Tongue planted very much in cheek) ___

Adam One of the great problems with cool music is that it costs BIG $$$ to license its use legally. A few years ago at our Forbes summer camp, a local who did all sorts of documentaries, etc. came out and filmed during a day or two's flying, all using professional equipment. He got a couple

Sorry what i meant to say is you cant use firewire and expect digital video, you must have a analogue input. It will record onto digital tape but the quality is only analogue, which is good enough for most aplications. Original message Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 22:38:25 +0930 From: Mark

Reply below... From: skf1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From what I have seen of the GFA’s gliding promotions program is that it is constrained by old fashion thinking and/or a lack of budget, and some clubs who are happy where they are, doing what they are doing now. Definitely old fashioned thinking.

Lisa Turner tells me that you can use whatever music you like, as long as it is for 30 seconds or less. I'm sure if you picked 29 second graps of songs that fit what is going on in the video with some dialogue it might sound OK.Certainly better than silence. Nick. - Original Message -
