Spent a few days up in the French Alps. This time it was just me and Alex. We did a spot of filming and pretty much destroyed ourselves…
Outlook Festival 2011 – Croatia – Round Up
Oct 9th
This summer I finally made it to Outlook festival in Croatia. This post is a collection of photos and video I took while out there. There wont be much chat, as it’s hard for me to explain in words what it was like. What I can say is, it was one of the most enjoyable weeks of my life..
Click below and hopefully my photos and videos can do it some justice..

Busc 11 – Round Up
May 23rd
So Its been while since my last post… I don’t know why but I seem to have very little spare time nowadays. I guess working a full time job really does take its toll on personal projects and keeping things updated. Any way at the beginning of April I went back out to the French Alps with some friends from Nottingham Trent Uni. Once again we had an awesome time. The snow wasn’t amazing with it being towards the end of the season, however the X-games were held there only a few weeks before so the parks were top level. We spent most the days shredding them up. I filmed quite a bit again.. standard, this time I didn’t edit all the footage to music etc so I just created a few little videos that consisted of the best bits, these went up on facebook.
I did get time to produce the following little edit. While on the slope I had the idea of the camera pole floating between people by getting someone to carry it from behind. We did a few trial runs and it actually ended up being quite difficult. The person being filmed had to remember not to get the person who handed the camera to them in shot. The person taking the camera around had to make sure their shadow wasn’t in the shot. We tried it a few times, The following edit has been chopped up a bit to make it go to the beat, also to cut out any bits where you could see the carrier.

GoPro Custom Pole Mount.
Dec 9th
With my recent Purchase of the GoPro HD Hero I’ve been experimenting with new filming techniques. One of the most radical is attaching the camera to a pole and have it facing the person in control. This has been done before (see video below) so I wanted to spice it up a little. I set out to find something that would be appropriate. I found a shop on eBay that was selling 2cm diameter by 1m length acrylic rod for around £10 inc delivery.

Below are a couple of shots of the finished mount. I used a old bike handle grip and the mount I made earlier in the year. Over all I’m pretty happy with how it came together.
UPDATE:
So after a week of using this thing up in the Alps I can safely say its totally awesome! It was particularly good because I was able to give it to friends who have no idea about filming and still get great shots. Below are a few screen grabs and the trailer for the DVD I helped put together.
