GoPro HD Hero Snowboarding - Park City, Utah 2011

[Cardfan205]

Nice video man!

In terms of editing (since you are shooting as 60 fps anyway), you should try using something like twixtor to get some really sweet slow motion

[nba185]

hey did airport security give you any trouble for the gopole? any tips?

[droconnell]

@nba185 Nope. It's a retractable pole. Probably had no idea that it was secretly a 4-foot weapon. You'll be fine.

[nba185]

@droconnell sweet thanks.

[christistheOG]

[skumfat101]

[IronicMustacheFilms]

at 0: 04 is that greg benson

[Jack9488]

RVAAAAAAAAA like if u get it

[TacticalSuperMonkey]

1:20...stroke that pole

[ilulzach]

Suggest any filters for "movie-like" footage?

[droconnell]

@ilulzach Filters won't necessarily help. Really comes down to the camera and doing color correction. If you want the colors to "pop" a bit more then definitely do color correction (just about every video editing program has this feature - even iMovie).

[ilulzach]

@droconnell Much appreciated. Thanks man.

[ShortCannon]

in the summer, i do donuts in that parking lot! haha

[lalolalopop]

Like your description said not the best not the worst but oh my god the video editing :D DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAA­AMNNNNNNN what did you use??

[droconnell]

@lalolalopop It's a mix of Adobe Premiere and iMovie (for easy color correction).

[lalolalopop]

@droconnell Dang my color is fine i got a contour but i cant find a good free program for editing

[droconnell]

@lalolalopop You on a Mac or PC? Nothing free is good. Sounds like you're not on a Mac, otherwise iMovie would work. If you're on a PC I'd suggest Adobe Premiere.

[lalolalopop]

@droconnell Ill Check it out ive also heard good things about After Effects

[SourToiletSeat]

Need some help!? Are any of you familiar with Ride Fleetwood Snowboards? I have been looking at one at a store and it has a kind of Mexican bandit on it and I want it really bad but I am not sure if its good or not because I cant find any information about the board. Any help would be awesome!

[littlman284]

What editing program do you have? It looks dope as hell!

[droconnell]

@littlman284 Thanks. Adobe Premiere and iMovie. JES Interlacer was used to get the slow motion right for YouTube.

[jessejamespark]

where did 4:07 go ? :(

[droconnell]

@jessejamespark Seriously. Never noticed that...

[lolforbob]

lol this music is in the art of flight :P

[fingerboardbros1]

[droconnell]

@MrKeysCrete Send your vid when it's done.

[jakeruchti1]

[droconnell]

[yosi6tokyo]

[ligershark33]

best song by him, and its the only one i like

[popshuvitskater]

Dang! It's amazing how even mediocre snowboarding videos can get you pumped for the season!

[FreakinLaxManiac]

Hey man what lenses are those on ur anons

[christianhillegass]

3:00 i rode one of those in deep creek maryland go there to the wisp lodge and do some snowboarding

[Fedesnow72]

Yeah

[spijker95]

Deadmau5 <3

Very nice video!

[Shibsterr]

awesome video man. Did you use a wrist mount for the GoPro or just hold it or what?

[droconnell]

@Shibsterr I used just a collapsable monopod for the angles / shots. Tends to be a bit more forgiving than a wrist / helmet mount. You can search Amazon for them...they are pretty cheap (less than $20 bucks).

[Shibsterr]

@droconnell awesome thanks man i'll look into it.

[diegoman191]

nice video bro!!

[Stonz4KinG]

That's smooth, nice work on edition, sometimes the files are so hugh it's a real pain...! Anyway, nice work, kewl sessions, makes want to ride... (so few snow in Switzerland this year.. :P)

[may20birthboy]

nice and clean guys i like!



[benched4lyfe]

by the way nice editing

[benched4lyfe]

can anyone tell me if you need anything to upload footage from the camera to youtube or just a USB cord download the file to your computer then upload then ???

[droconnell]

@benched4lyfe Just grab the file from your camera and upload it to YouTube. Some phones though allow you do directly upload to YouTube if they have that integration, but no camcorders do that.

[nofalls9]

@droconnell hey man, im going to park city this winter to snowboard and it looks great. i usually go to n. carolina but thats not as hardcore. what do i need for park city?

[Mapzulu1996]

Lol. I am viewer 9,999 :)

[ozherewecome]

great vid fella... i really enjoyed watching it.

[WuTangLover]

I go to Park City and shred every year, I fuckin love it there.

[keltoe38]

wow! you guys can rip better than i can

[kaxlaa]

DEADMAU5!!

[RandomDirectors]

I fucking need a GoPro so fucking badly!!!

I am getting one before October when I will got skiing again..

[bonsai13100]

@RandomDirectors you start snowboarding in october?!?!?!

[RandomDirectors]

@bonsai13100 skiing not snowboarding... and I am hardly going to get a chance this year during Christmas to go skiing so I am going to have to early during my halfterm :-/

[realyfunnyboy107]

hey grate video and i was wondering what u guys used to edit this and what you used to convert from mp4 please let me know thanks

[droconnell]

@realyfunnyboy107 It's just edited in the latest iMovie. For any conversions I used HandBrake (for Mac) along with JES to import the shots filmed at 60 FPS.

[jamesmould987]

great video! well edited and good song choice :D

[sakicjr19123]

sick vid dude

[xXGEN3000KBMXx]

THUMBS UP FOR DEADMOAU5 GHOSTS AND STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

[jpawn67]

Hey even though you guys aren't pros I really love your video. I was wondering if you like the GoPro because I thought about buying one but wasn't sure. It looks like Utah was a great place to ski seeing as I ski on the east coast boo

[droconnell]

@jpawn67 The GoPro is awesome. Definitely get the HD version. I'd also recommended the add-on LCD - not totally necessary pretty helpful to have for playback (it's tough to use for filming in the sun). I've recommended the GoPro to a ton of buddies - they all agree that it's sweet.

[bonsai13100]

@jpawn67 hey man what mountain you ride? im from the dumb east coast too

[dcollado87]

I made a small clip worked out well thanks. One last thing when u first convert your video from the cam to Jes D, u do standard conversion with what setting NTSC or 1280x720 60p?

[droconnell]

@dcollado87 On the 'project' tab click on 'Custom'. The only two things you need to change are 'Movie Speed' - set to .5000 and then make sure 'Telecine' is selected just underneath. As long as you're filming the original clip in 60 frames-per-second you'll be good to go importing this file into iMovie for some smooth slow motion.

[dcollado87]

Alright I think I got it. I'll give it a try..thanks again for the info

[droconnell]

@dcollado87 No worries. If you have issues just shoot me a message and I'll help you out..

[dcollado87]

Cool man thanx for the info. So I should convert it using Jes before I import to iMovie? And from 0:52 to 0:57 where it was Normal then slow then normal again is that 3 clips together? Or is that done like u said taking one clip and playing it forwards in slow motion, then reversing that same clip to play it back, then forward again. Great video by the way!

[droconnell]

@dcollado87 Honestly, if you're shooting everything 60 FPS I would just convert it all before importing it. Just remember everything will be at half speed when you initially put it in iMovie cause it's going from 30 frames per second to 60 frames per second.

As for the clip, yep you got it. You want three instances of the same clip lined up right after one another (no transitions). First one plays forward (slow mo if you want). Second plays in reverse. Third plays forward again.

[dcollado87]

how are u able to slow the clip and play back to normal speed with no lines or brakes looks smooth. i have imovie and jes deinterlacer, what am i doing wrong????

[droconnell]

@dcollado87 Everything was shot at 60 FPS - that's how you get the non-blurred slow motion.

iMovie default converts everything to 30 FPS. Even if you shot at 60 FPS and import the original file (not using JES) the slow motion won't be what you want. Search this on Google 'imovie 60 fps jes interfacer' and read the top link.

As for the cuts, you're taking one clip and playing it forwards in slow motion, then reversing that same clip to play it back, then forward again. Shoot me a message need.

[Funnyishful]

This is dope! I've been to Park City a couple times. Pretty awesome stuff there. You went like everywhere I went too. haha:)

[droconnell]

@Funnyishful Best resort I've ever been to and my resort is Squaw Valley so that's saying something. Just so much varied terrain at PCR.

[zpreme]

great fucking song choice

[droconnell]

@zpreme DeadMau5 FTW.

[Xxskaterman]

FUCK I wish I was there!

[droconnell]

@therollingworld1 Best ever. I have no idea why people drop like $150 on other bands. Anon. Helix. $75 bucks. They are a no-brainer.

[Datzneat]

Sweet vid. Great editing.

[pan1pan1]

great vid.

[MrUnamed]

Sick video me and some buds are going out there next year but 2 questions 1. Is park city nice? and 2. Hows the go pro we want to document all our runs and our trip thanks

[droconnell]

@MrUnamed Park City is dope. I go out a few times a year from California. Snow in unreal and Park City and The Canyons (neighboring resort) are top notch. They have everything: parks, hikes, groomers, and powder.

The Go Pro is unreal. Opt for the Go Pro HD ($299 version) and grab an extra battery pack ($20). The HD is the only one that records at 60 FPS if you want super smooth slow motion. Only things it's lacking is a LCD viewer but they are making an attachment; and grab a monopod.

[patman12331]

if you like this search charlie and connor train backflips by prshea95

[YeheonShin]

at 0:42-0:43 the guy all the way to the right, is that a Anon Helix goggle? And if it is what lense is that, silver amber or silver solex? Cause I want to get one with a mirror like that

[droconnell]

@YeheonShin Yes, Anon Helix (I'm the guy). Awesome goggles, super comfortable, and affordable. Never fog. That is the mirror lens (they come with an orange lens as well but never use it) but these are 2010's not 2011's. It looks like they discontinued the lens this season. I did a search and you can find this pair on Eternal Snow for $52 bucks (white / silver (mirror) lens) right now...get to it.

[iPodkilledMP3]

nice video. canyons huh? sweet. 

[droconnell]

@iPodkilledMP3 Most the footage is actually at Park City ... I manage to squeeze in some footage off 9990 at Canyons though.
