there's 58 videos queued for upload on my youtube.. i'm at the 3rd only.. maybe it's the high definition footage that's why it's so much slower now. I used to be able to upload all of the videos overnight, but i'm sure it'll be worth it.
videos are specially processed this time to look abit more better.
audio are also specially mixed/mastered to sound (way) more better than the raw..
dir :
1) my new cam runs on hard disk, the heavy vibrations from bass/distortion guitars will (unfortunately) cause the cam to crash (yes blue screen of death. Data Buffer Overflow Error).
2) because unlike my old dv tape cam, like what kerplunk182 says , this one won't be able to tahan bodysurfer kicks and moshing shocks cos there's "moving parts" in this cam. besides i spent 3 months grass-eating cash on it, so if any dumbass kid who mosh into me on purpose better have his insurance paid on premium.
3) and 3rdly yes it sounds better from the back. drums/amps > mic > live mixer + live mixed/amplified > PA speakers > to my cam.
kerplunk182 : hahah cool, feel free to come up to me and wave hi, don't talk to me during set though cos it'll be recorded into the cam and amplified clearly and broadcasted on youtube. I shifted during midnight marvel's set because too many people in the middle (I was standing near the sound man) and this 2 guys behind me were talking shit about them (it was very audible) , then later I shifted way back, tallest point. safer and still decent sounding. and my wife was feeding me burgerking while I filmed allura's set so i accidentally got it abit shaky.
yo visa, yeah i saw you , you're not that outstanding compared to the lamposts , but sorry couldn't leave my spot to say hi. scared later kena snatch then no place to film. james (soft) was there too, he spoke to me also but I had to shush him cos it was on record haha.
so how does anyone find videos now? is it much clearer ? haha remember to download using keepvid, the audio is "MONOed" live on youtube but when downloaded it's stereo.
ah that's good to know, I've always preferred watching bootlegs from up-close. Another good reason not to buy a hard-disk camera. also, no tripod?
I would prefer if the soundboard mix is higher/more prominent, I'm not much of a fan of idle chatter during music playing, but a little ambient noise is good. Other than that, great quality. Take it easy with the fast zoom ins/outs though, personally I find it distracting and detracts from the overall experience. Slower zooms are much aesthetically pleasing and adds to the atmosphere
