This is a test video I put together. I have some blur on lift off because the shutter speed isn't high enough in this case but it's still interesting I think. First segment is slow motion, then launch and flight at normal speed with sound.
Nice video!!
Thanks Phil :) It took some time to get that put together as I am learning to use an additional camera and a new movie editing package. I have many ideas I want to try, things like differing ground angles sequenced together to cameras mounted over the rocket looking down to ones mounted underneath(Which I have tried already with some success). This was an image from underneath my SR71 on liftoff.
What editing packages are you using?
I have used ULEAD Visual Studio SE for some things but I primarily use Windows movie maker(haven't tried the latest version) and I use MovieEdit which comes with the ZoomBrowser application which comes with some of the Canon digital cameras. I purchased a new camera recently and movieedit came with it. It's fancier than windows movie maker and so far I really like it(I used it to create this blueninja video). MS is supposed to be sending me a service pack 2 disk with the new version of movie maker which I wanted to try..I didn't necessarily want SP2 but apparently MovieMaker requires it. So essentially I sometimes use up to three different programs depending on what I'm doing. Moviedit for instance doesn't have as many save options so I may import what I've done with it into MovieMaker and then export the video from there to a smaller file etc. Dan
Dan, what kind of camera(s) are you using for the slow motion stuff?
This video was done using a canon sd400 however my normal camera is a Nikon 4300 Coolpix which is what I used to take all of the videos on the webpage:
