Mt. Buller National DH Series Finals

[demo man]

well, she's done.

actually, it's been done for a few days, i've had a terrible time trying to upload it. But Scott came to the rescue and now it's here for you.

now, i went a bit crazy and the video has ended up being 9.32 long, so it's 90MB, which is pretty big. should be fast download speeds though.

here's the link.

Brilliant stuff Sam.

Well and truly worth the wait and every Mb of download time. Excellent footage and editing. And.. 'My Sharona' does work.

Keep up the excellent work mate!

[SDA]

Love your work!:cool:

Excellent... really enjoyed it!

The beginning set the scene really well.

Keep at it mate!

Cheers

Damn awesome vid! One of the most well made DH vids ever, imo. :cool:

[fattyandthepiemakers]

Very nice video, what editing program are you using?

BTW, No footage of the drop at the top of the track? :(

[spinner]

You've out done yourself Sam. Another brilliant vid that really captures the event perfectly I think. I agree , worth the 90 meg fer sure.

LMAO at the bit at the start , SKT looking all sheepish being 100ks off course !

5 stars from me !

Edit : Fatty , the drop is in there , around 3.15 or so.

Ahh... I was thinking of another one, doesn't matter.

What is surprising though is that Sam is younger than I am! :eek:

[jack giant]

Your movies are awsome and a credit to the local scene.
Ever thought of doing it professionaly:)

[cam-o]

Damn!
Sam m'boy, that was unreal! I was expecting good things and my expectations were well and truly exceeded.
Well done.

On the downside, I'm stuck at work and I wana go ride Buller now :mad:

[SKT]

Nice Work Sam.....

Can't wait till you join me in Townsville for the T'ville - Cairns film you promised to do ;)
I promise I wont miss any turnoffs this time.....thats if you promise to not distract me with your discombobulating giberish :p

I guess it would be nice to be driven in a cushy Volvo, have ya pants put on for you by Mum and then sit under a sponsor tent with your fellow hARDcORers until your run, and miss out on all the adventures of tripping to the event and supporting OTHER riders trackside.


I love the message mate.......

"Speak up or be GONE!"

[demo man]

thanks so much for all the comments guys, i'm stoked people like it!

Fatty, i used Sony Vegas for this, i really like that program, I'd highly recommend it.

SKT - i promised what now?
don't try and blame it on me! look in the credits - YOU were in charge of transport and navigation, not me! :p

thanks again people, i really appreciate your comments, good or bad.

[dirtdemon]

oarsome videos of both Buller and Thredbo. MTB should pay you to go to all the rounds. It was the best video of Aust. Racing I have seen. Great Job.

[demo man]

thanks for all the comments guys, i really appreciate them!

sorry about the massive size - i'll have to find some software to compress the next one a bit so it's not as hard for you guys.

actually, does anyone have any suggestions on what i could use to do that?

Hey Sam, when you render it in Vegus there are a heap of different compression ratios you can choose for wmv.
After you choose wmv click on the drop down box that says "default" to get the other options.

56k is a little too compressed and you loose quality. Depending on the length
100k or 200k is a good compremise between file size and quality. Have a play and see what looks good.

Oh, and another top vid mate;)
