Tofino - Vancouver Island, Canada. (part 1)
3 months ago
I spent 3 nights in Tofino at Eik Landing (Adrienne's Loft) eiklanding.com - which was a nice upgrade from the Hostel in Vancouver (Granville Street) where we had stayed earlier. The view from the apartment was pretty damn amazing. Tofino is a small town of 1.500 souls but receive over a million visitors a year (not a lot in April, though :).
It's situated on the Pacific coast and is at the very end of the only paved road that crosses the island (built during WWII). This is heaven if you ask me - I could settle here for the rest of my life :) I'd just need a faster Internet connection than the 256kbit one that the apartment had...
I'll be posting a few videos from here. If you're ever in the area, don't dare miss Tofino :)

A 3 minute clip takes me about 45 minutes with Eugenia's settings, so a computer with less processing power than my PC, could easily take more than 2 hours... The AVCHD format is VERY hard on a PC.
If you want better 'sharpness', try using a higher bit rate (like 6-10 or 7-10 mbps). Sharpen your clips with 'unsharp mask' using a setting of about 250,150,0). Unfortunately, our clips loose a lot of sharpness when they are made into .flv files (flash movie). If vimeo showed the clip as they were made (ex. WMV), quality would be better but people would need to have all the different players installed on their 'local' PC.
Hope that helps...

No filters were used on the camcorder but I did use the free MBL on this. I believe, I used 'Buffalo' and 'Warmish' on this along with Sony Vegas' own unsharp mask...
