Running the entire ship

Are you onboard a moving ship? I know, LET'S RUN BACKWARDS! You'll hang suspended over the ocean, and a ship goes past beneath your feet. It doesn't work so well on an airliner at 630MPH. They yell at you. (This is my first use of pseudo-Steadicam)

Aww.. your $0 steadicam isn't working(I think)..well for this video... 'cause its kinda shaking and I think it will be better if its not shaking..

> 'cause its kinda shaking

It shakes MUCH less than a handheld camera wo/tripod.

ALso, it's only shaking side-to-side! That's the big problem with $0 steadycam. (Go and build a DIY $14 steadycam with weighted crossbeam)

Most navy ships only do about 30 knots. I really don't think this guy could run 10 mph.

That's the cruise-ship "Westerdam" slowly tooling along. See my "What color is water?" video for more.

W.Beaty, You are a genius. Not really on this video but your other stuff is amazing.

Run faster, faster, faster! :D

I think timing how long it takes the water to travel a known distance down the hull would be easier and more accurate. Or if you knew the distance to the water you could use the field of view of the camera and time it takes to pass from left to right.

Wow... I never knew these things until you made these videos =)
