ベン・ギルド Web developer, since 1997. × Location: San Francisco
I am a creator, a thinker, and a lifestyle hacker. I've designed and built web-based projects [like Mobile17, ilikebsides, & CDJ'er] from scratch. — Follow me on Twitter, @benguild! Forever aliased, “smash”.
Yesterday, I finally had the chance to edit together a video of my summer vacation from June. Special thanks to everyone I visited, and hello to all of the friends I made in so many places!
See you all again soon.
じゃ、ね。
So, I am a big fan of Flip video cameras … and brought one along on my trip to Japan. However, what was a minor nuisance was the lack of an image stabilizer. It caused action footage to come out a bit “jagged”.
This is no longer an issue on the new Flip cameras with image stabilizers. I ordered one, and decided to try it snowboarding this weekend.
Much better, even without any stabilization hardware/rigging! A trick I’d used in the past was to placing the camera on a steady surface, but many video editors can also try to fix older footage. (such as using the “SmoothCam” filter in Final Cut Pro) Why not prevent it altogether? Or, make the image even smoother?
As I tweeted earlier, my video project from Japan is finally finished! If you’re not friends with me on Facebook (if I don’t know you, that’s probably why… haha) — check it out on Vimeo. わたしは、ことしの5がつから6がつまで にほんにいきました！
There are three parts, all mixed to different music:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3 (my favorite)
Enjoy! And if you’re a Vimeo member, leave a comment or two. ;)
