Got some NAB2005 video, anyone willing to host?
 

Hi, I went around and filmed some various things at NAB2005, including the new JVC and Panasonic cameras. I've got two files, one's high quality at 160mb and the other's at 83.6mb. I have Premeire 6.5 so my compression options are limited =P. I can cut some stuff out if the files need to be smaller just let me know.

I filmed everything on my GL1 with my, I guess I could now call it "ghetto," version of the FigRig wheel. The funniest thing was when I went over to the Manfrotto booth and filmed people trying out the FigRig, I got so many looks with my setup that some people started taking pictures of me. So if anyone sees a picture in a magazine of a young guy with a GL1 with two accessory shoe adapters screwed together at NAB, then that's me =). I got asked so many questions about it and the Varizoom people cracked up about it when they saw me "The Manfrotto guys want $350 for the wheel and this guy's got it for $40! Nice job!"

Ok, ok, I'm figuring out ways to make the video smaller, can anyone recommend some settings? Obviously the earlier file sizes aren't working.

send it my way
 

email or send it to me we will be happy to host it...

Ok, I've been forced to send the clips to you through Outlook Express. AOL, MSN, and Yahoo keep messing up on me during file transfer. I hope I'm sending things right. If not, then this thread should be deleted since my dumb connection is messed up >.<.

Do you have pics or something somewhere of your Ghetto FigRig?

I love this board. Think of how goofy and indecipherable all this slang's gonna look ten years from now ...

Jack, shoot me an email. I can host your clips right here at DV Info Net.

I would Chris but I think it's my connection that's messing me up, I'm on the college's internet and I think they capped the uploads. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it takes forever to send something, whereas if I download something it only takes 30 seconds or less. Sorry =(.

Hi Jack,

Rather than sending the clips as email attachments, I was going to give you temporary FTP upload access to our server, provided that you have an FTP client on your computer. Or, you could put those clips on a CD and mail 'em to me. Couple of options there.

I think a CD/DVD idea might work better =). I don't know about the whole FTP thing. I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to uploading stuff. All I know is e-mail attachments. What would I have to do to do the whole FTP thing?
