Through the past 5 years we've done a lot of video taping on the water. From many waters in Alberta, Montana, BC, and New Zealand, we have nearly 100 hours of HD video. The thing of it is, we have held off the capture and edit process, keeping what we've shared to a minimum because we've waited for the HD world to catch up to an acceptable level for ease of sharing higher quality video. You can argue that Youtube has been around a long time, but up until about a year ago we certainly wouldn't have wanted the compression quality of YouTube to compromise some of our video. That, plus we needed to reach completion of subjects before we could begin a few projects, be it web or (hd) dvd based. It will be a bit of a painful first step, deleting all captured and cataloged video from hard drives and external drives captured in SD, forcing our hands to solely use the HD format. That means all the time lines and productions to date are now out the window, zapped for good. But, like all good things, the end result is a clear vision now, be it (hd) dvd productions or web promotional copy - all of which have to be in HD format, which is why we bought the HD camera so long ago. In behind the scenes over the coming months and into a year from now are a few productions we're working on - be it ourselves or with another couple of talents. It should be fun!
Cheers
Dave & Amelia.
