Bikemovies

I'd like to try the pikey approach to making bikemovies and found this:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/productinfo.asp?WebProductID=201778

Would this suit to make reasonable movies on the move? Asking this as I'd
like to avoid chucking 300 quids worth of DVcam (no DV-in unfortunately, so
bulletcam not an option...) down the road....

 

Depends on the SD card you put in I guess...

I'm not looking for superquality, just some 'on the road' movies btw. Has
your movie been made, or is that a lost project. Can't remember having seen
a post or owt.

 

1Gb SD-card, **** knows how long that will last, I guess some time (30
minutes plus?). For the amount of money spent (about 100 quid), I'm not that
fussed. What I was more interested in, was if anyone has this kind of camera
and what the quality is like. If normal filming is likely to be shit, I
really shouldn't bother ona shaky bike IYSWIM.

To be frank Bear, I'm a tad disappointed. You could have blamed at least the
drugs, put some effort in man

Without having seen it, it has already worked

 

Gotcha. Leading bike is no problem, that's everyone, apart from that dead
guy....there..

Resolution is 640*480 at 10fps, slightly better at 320*240. Now, I know
fuckall about it, but it doesn't sound very good.

Well it starts with the drugs, only then society comes in.

 

Spete scribbled on the back of a napkin:

The frame rates are a bit grim IMHO - 20 fps at 320x200, 10 at 640x480.
Not to mention that it'll only take SD cards up to 256MB.

 

Ah, right, missed that bit. Thanks, I'll leave it then.

a) Are you deliberately intending to crash?
b) You can enabled DV-in on some (maybe most) DVcams
c) You only need AV-in for bulletcams - although they can be expensive.

 

No no - the lead bike has to be quick, but you have to be quicker so
you can keep up.

 

<mutters> there's always something, isn't there</m>

Anyway, I've given up on the idea for the moment.... I'll just fantasise
about Bear's foorage...

Ewww...

Anyway, it's spelt "faux-rage". It's the NewBear(tm).

Is it too late to mention that it should have been footage?
I do like yours better though...

Well I sort of thought it was. Not that the thought of you fantasising
over Bear's footage[1] is any better.


[1] Although rumour[2] has it that it's more like "Bear's five-inchage"
[2] But we don't listen to rumours[3], do we children?

Not at all. It's simply that I can *never* resist the temptation of a
cheap jibe, especially when combined with a crap joke.

It's not something I'm proud of.
