S2 - First Video

[joeo]

This is a video I made with the S2 camera. It is about installing motor mount inserts, and is modeled after shows like Horsepower TV etc..

It was made using video shot from the S2, pictures from the S2, Microsoft Movie Maker, and PhotoStory 3. The video is in windows media format and is about 52MB.

Looks good, i hear a high pitch squeel during the video parts. Is that the camera or the program? Is there settings in the program to adjust the eq in the audio when you edit? One of the clips had some bad lighting near the end.

What your doing is very time consuming i hope you enjoy it. It can turn a small job into a long one. Editing, retakes dialog stuff like that.

Hmm - during the still image parts where I recorded with a mic on the computer using PhotoStory 3, I had trouble getting the whine to disappear. Could never seem to get the gain on the sound card and distance from the mic to be a good combination. Ended up recording it at too low audio and then using software to increase the gain.
I thought the sound in the parts taken with the camera (actual video - not stills) turned out OK - is that what you're talking about?

The last clips with the in-car footage were taken near the end of the day, and sunlight was starting to get scarce. I had to use software to up the brightness of those video segments.
