i should probably post in here instead of the monthly photo threads...

third day working on the new bike, showoff fail! :P

and some other random stuff from the day

looking to get a better NLE than the iMovie that I am using. what suggestions do people have for something cheap but more powerful than iMovie?

cheers. the fish eye effect is due to the wide angle of view these GoPro cameras have. you have to frame shots by gut feeling or take a photo and then chuck the card in a camera so you can check framing, but as that takes too long most times i just wing it and hope for the best, lol.

as for the editing software, i'll continue on with imovie for now. its capable of some cool things, at a cost of plenty of hours work, lol.

A few of you know that I shoot a lot of video with a GoProHD. One thing that works well is not to worry about putting the camera upside down as you just correct it after shooting. That saves time at the track.

Here is the GoPro Tutorial including what free software to use. The software is also good if you just want to trim/cut but preserve 60fps. Not that many software programs support 60fps as it isn't a true standard.

New "Tilt Shift" effect video from the Texi

I'd say this would work better with a higher viewing angle. Doesnt seem to really convey the 'miniature' effect with such low camera angles I think. i tried a few tilt shift vids a while back and found the higher the angle the better it looked. im no pro tho, so i could be way wrong.

You are so correct Jay. It's really hard to get a high angle at the level ground we have on the Texi - and a ladder won't fit in my GTR :D

I was pleased with the effect on the silver gtst and with the on-car (was my GTR) - those had a nice "gee am I looking a toys" feel. Mainly I was playing with the new VideoStudio "Stop motion" effect and seeing what I could do with the footage I had.

Thanks for the tip!

i wish there was an easier way to do them on a mac. i pretty much split the video down into frames and then used a photoshop action to tilt shift all the frames as a batch. wasnt pretty, haha.

keen to see more tho, i just dont have the patience for stuff like that these days.

Wow that's a painful exercise. On the PC I use a filter by NewBlueFX - check their software out because the plugin works with lots of different programs. Rack Focus is in their Video Essentials II package. I'm just about to pull the trigger on their stabiliser package since I do so much work freehand. That stabiliser looks very intelligent in the way it works.

The filter is only about $100 and also gives you several other options - blur edges, etc.

So this weekend I stumbled across this site when I was doing some research on DIY'n some gear. The site has a great mix of DIY and affordable gear review by normal Joe budget shooters like most of us.

I've spent literally days exporing the past articles and reviews. I've now also ordered some gear the I've been wanting but couldn't find cheaply enough or was worried about the quality.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
