Researching...

**TheJake** · 09-13-2007, 01:24 AM

sort of... It's something I want to start doing more often but a POS camera doesn't offer a very good finished product.

umm... i do have lots of videos from my travels, but i would only classify a few of them as 'travel' videos.. the rest are just drunk people. even the 'travel videos' are kinda silly but i like to watch em back. the one at giant's causeway is narrated in a fake irish accent!

**marc873** · 09-13-2007, 06:09 AM

Yep! Many. I would probably be hesitent to show them. Ya know!! Most are a minute or less, some longer. Walking through narrow Italian streets, ferry's in the Med. Detailed descriptions of blisters with footage etc.... That kinda stuff, all done on a digi camera though.

**freespiritz** · 09-13-2007, 06:25 AM

Same...I too have a whole bunch of little videos that I take while on the road, but I don't know exactly if you could classify them as "travel videos". Oh, and I've already shared some of those with travelpunk.

^Yeah I do 30 secs or less most of the time. Like a plan taking off in Gibraltar , crossing the Shibuya intersection, taking a lap around a square in Pompeii... that sort of thing. Not really the Hwei interviewing people sort of thing.

Actually, gang, that is really what I meant by saying "travel videos."

Really, just videos from your travels. Filming drunk people in Prague, walking through city streets, hanging out at a park in Sydney, sitting in a cafe in Greece, street festival in Miami, normal mundane activites of a backpacker on the road, etc...

That is stuff that I really love to watch, personally.

**freespiritz** · 09-13-2007, 09:59 AM

Haha, aight..in that case, Tony, I'm somewhere between the 4-10 and gigs range.

**space virgin** · 09-14-2007, 12:47 AM

I have a few interesting ones from India, none of them are more than 2 minutes long though.

Excellent! That is exactly what I am talking about!

A bike is an excellent way to see a city.

Thanks

Wow, I like that Picasa site for photo-sharing. Pics load fast, and you can load videos too?

Does it allow you to rearrange the pic order manually, though? Like say you upload a photo at the end but want to insert it near the front? Can you do that or are they always basically stuck in the initial upload order?

I haven't found out if I can yet! I only got into Picasa a few months ago, but its the bomb so far. You can do pretty much anything with your pics, and they upload fast. If anyone does know how to move pics around in an album on Picasa hook us up.

Heres another fun vid: A canal boat ride Brugge Belgium

That was so funny. I loved the face you made at the end.

I don't really have any videos of "backpacker" traveling, but I do have some of my friend Tianna and I at the beach and since I traveled to California does that count?

I'm the one filming in this video, Tianna is the one in the swimsuit. The water was freezing cold!!

Also I had some friends from Spain and South America come visit me in Oklahoma. I took them out drinking and this is the after effects at the local dinner. The guy on the left is from Spain, the chick is American, and the guy on the right is from Bolivia. Notice how he won't shut up. They thought I was taking a picture, not a video.

Except when the tables are turned. My Swedish friends did that at a bar one night. I couldn't understand why they kept aiming the camera at me. Of course I was pretty drunk and making faces at them.

**IDDQD** · 09-19-2007, 09:25 AM

Got a couple. The fireworks still get me excited.
