The making of my latest moto-video

I got the green light to do another motocross video for my last school project and as odd as this may sound, I ran into several roadblocks just like last quarters video... only this time they were a little different. I checked the weather for that weekend and it all looked to be sunny skies and even had a school camera locked in to rent over that weekend. My instructor always said the end of the quarters are kinda crazy with all the classes wanting to rent cameras. So Friday after work, I ran out to school to pick it up. Just before calling it a night, I thought I would check everything over and make sure the battery was at full charge. Nothing like going to film with a dead battery huh!! Well, my first stumbling block. There was NO BATTERY... and it was way to late. I called the school hoping they would have another battery for times like this... another dead end. Good thing I bought a small camcorder several years ago or else I would have been up the creek. So I had to film everything with my small camera which isn't bad but compared to the school cameras mine was almost a waste of time. Well once I got there and started to film, the track got a little dried out and it got pretty dusty there for a while and my camera was starting to flicker a little... with a note saying the heads need to be cleaned. I thought ... Oh great... I don't have enough footage yet... so I blew into the tape area and that seemed to make a difference. To top it off, my camera has the record button close to the hand grip and sometimes I have this habit of accidentally hitting record while I'm walking around. It just happened to be as I was going for an interview too, so once I got there and set the stage, I went to hit record and yes... I was actually turning it off. What a bummer. So I just tried to make the best out of what I had. Next thing you know, the more I played with the clips the more I started to like the way it was turning out and then once it was all said and done, I had a good video, or at least I thought. Now that you know what I went through to get this video completed... why don't you have a look for yourself... it is next in line. Enjoy... The adrenaline of motocross.
