1:30 that's a cool camera angle.

@dudestir127 thanks, I used a very wide angle lens and put the camera on the edge of the road with my wallet and cell phone under the front to lift the front of the PD170 higher up a couple of inches. It looks like I was in the road but I was off to the side.

The watermark in the center of the video is un-necessary, considering you already have one in the corner of the screen. Do people do stupid shit like this just to be annoying, or is there some logic behind it?

[bnvn1]

@jh4dc5s No because broadcasters will put a lower third cover up over the bottom and then use the video for free and say they got it from Youtube and try and screw the videographers over and not pay to use this in their broadcasts. It's happened before and will happen again if there is no watermark in the middle of the screen.

Your very ignorant.... People do not just walk 200 miles to safety.. and they could not afford to leave!

Yo, why don't all of you people making funny jokes about this in stuff, SHUT UP? This is sad and serious. People having to go through this, and here we are on our 500$ Macs watching and posting funny comments. If you went through this you would be crying. So shut up and respect the people that went through it or lost homes. God Bless them all.

@stillcovalent those were the westbound lanes.

[stillcovalent]

Why didn't they open the other 4 unused southbound lanes to speed things up?
