The first of many of my hiking videos shot along the John Muir Trail in August 2007. 2 friends and I completed the 220 mile trek in 20 days. All footage captured with a Canon HV20. I'm really looking forward to finally seeing it online properly.

    very nice. It seemed little underexposed on my computer.

    Thanks. Yeah the last shot was way too underexposed. Had to brighten in FCP a bit, but couldn't do too much without making it look terrible.

    I liked it to. Better sound would have made it even better. Keep on the good work!

    Btw.: Did you apply some color grading?
  • Mutcluck 2 years ago
    Yeah, the sound was only so so. I used a shotgun mic most of the time. Not sure for that section though. It sure doesn't sound like I used it in the first section. I did some slight exposure adjustment in post, but otherwise didn't tweak the color at all. It always seems to get darker on compression. Put these videos together after my hike on the JMT. More to come, but they take time to export in HD and also to upload. Almost 3 or 4 hours for each. Any recommendation on FCP export settings. I've used divx on this one. Using deinterlace for the export since to deinterlace on FCP is also about 3 or 4 hours. My computer isn't quite up to snuff on editing in HD.

    Gorgeous! The whole series (I've seen 5 so far) is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to get these online. I'm really enjoying them. Excellent quality and composition.

    Thanks Brent. Been a little lazy in outputting the HD files and uploading to vimeo. More time consuming than I thought. I also have 30 odd videos from my trip to Africa. Unfortunately not on HD since my camera was stolen in Namibia.
