Hello from Dakine!

[Dakine]

Hi, I'm new to Aerial Photography and just wanted to drop in to say "Hi" to the fine folks on this forum :lol:

Hi! :D

[DebianDog]

Welcome

:hug: Freak love :hug:

[Crjbenny]

Yahooo! Tony's here! :D

[AZ ChopperCam]

well damn Tony! 'bout time you stopped by to say hi. Glad to see ya here. Don't be a stranger.

[Brett Horton]

hey Dakine,
Have you ever flown a heli before, ya know its very hard.

[MarkWebber]

Yeah...you noobs need to be careful :lol:

[tcgliderguy]

You guys better be nice to this new guy, Dakine....

He may just be learning fly a chopper.... but he's a WHIZZ at video editing. I know he has more editing systems than ABC!

[AZ ChopperCam]

you guys are cracking me up! :lol:

[Dakine]

TC,

I ain't no whiz at editing yet, I just own the hardware :D

But, I'm beginning to like the video and editing stuff more and more. What makes it more fun is owning the right hardware. HD is still a pain in the a$$ though. What makes the work flow faster is shooting with my Panny 200P with the P2 cards. To import 25 minutes of HD video, it takes only about 2 - 3 minutes. This makes shooting and downloading more fun as opposed to having to sit and wait 25 minutes while it's 'capturing'.

Yo Brett,

You signature photo looks very familiar to me :wink:

Looks like this forum is picking up, especially with DJ's posts. Thanks all for being nice to a newbie :)

even with all the fancy $hit I have at work I can't pull that one off.... I gotta sit and wait in real time.

I can't wait until we make the full switch over to HD. Right now we're 50/50 and it's a pain in the rear.

Hey TR,
When I shoot corporate stuff with my JVC I use DVRack with the HD pack and then I have no wait.......HD realtime right from acquistion. :twisted: :twisted: Direct to Drive baby and the tape is just a back-up. Oh yeah, I can do 4 streams of RT HD in the field with my Laptop :glasses: :glasses: And don't forget where you heard about Edius....I got a look at GV's version 4 of Edius Pro......Kicks A$$!

[Art-Tistic]

DJ,
Tell your boss to get you a couple of "Firestore" HD field recorders. Mount them right on the back of the bauer bricks and then you'd have the direct access with the tape being needed only as a back-up....pretty rutine stuff out on the east coast.
Gets the work out quicker.

Regards,
Anthony

I just don't know how I would get that material into the Flint/Smoke. I need to call Autodesk and see what they say.

Flint/Smoke is amazing but it's so damn proprietary that it's hard to integrate into the normal workflow.

[Dakine]

Anthony,

What's Edius? I've never heard of it. Can you buy a copy at Best Buy? :D :D :D

Kidding, I love both.....Final Cut Pro and Edius. Yes, in that order. :D :D :D

$hit, I'm up to four P2 cards already.....damn $5,000 worth. Firestore will be next. Just lazy and didn't want to carry another 2 lbs on the camera.

Thank god I'm not in the market for the highend stuff like DJ is working on. I can't afford to play with the big boys. I'm happy where I'm at. Still learning.
