Thanks :)

I'm glad it helped your monday :) it was nice to be up that early... I should drag myself out of bed in time to see the sunrise more often.

It's a bummer when your sleep habits get all out of whack :P it's kinda annoying to roll over at 4:30 and realize you're wide awake for not reason.

Yea I love birds - and they were *everywhere* :)

I took a bunch of footage of that little yellow bird - he kept jumping from branch to branch for me for the longest time.

I'm glad you smiled ;)

Thanks Dan :) the streets being so empty was very, very wonderfully quiet... it's an interesting time to be awake in Los Angeles.

Thanks :) I had walked past several homeless people sleeping all bundled up with their belongings next to them - I'm glad I stopped to film this man because he was last I saw on the way home...

I wish more of my taxes went to helping people not have to sleep on the sidewalk... instead of war-related-nonsense... but I guess that's a different rant for a different post :P

Thanks!

Thanks! I was kinda' sorta thinking about it when I was walking around - but I really just quickly ran through when throwing this together and adjusted the clips that cit off things :)

The bank wasn't open - I just went to use the ATM... I never go in the bank :P it frighten and confuses me.

Thanks Gregor :) Yea, I've been really, really happy with the HF10 so far - I had to sell my Z1u and this is my replacement camera. I'm very impressed with it.

Thanks :)

Thanks Laias :)

But the second mouse gets the cheese :)

What does the first mouse get? :P

:p

Hey Richard - I just cut this in Final Cut Pro - and saved it as a mp4 :) Hope that helps.

Thanks Fabio - I'm planning on using some of his music in the next episode of Pedal :) I really love his stuff.

Thanks Leslie :)

This is actually really the first thing I've filmed with this camera and then did anything with in FCP - I've only had it about 2 weeks. I didn't really mess with the contrast, but I probably should have :P

I just had on P mode this morning - just cause I was walking around and trying to get to the bank before I got really, really hungry. And it was on FXP... I think 24p too... but I need to check, cause I needed to de-interlace... or if I didn't, I thought it looked like I did :P

And in FCP I just did a 3-way color correction with darker blacks, brighter mids and more saturation... some of the shots it looks like it's too much...

Your clip looks great and I want mine to look so good.
I will give a 3-way, THE 3-way color correction a try.
Thank you!

Hey Jariverap :) I'm still learning that myself - I asked a question about in this forum vimeo.com/pedal/forumtopic:705, and have gotten a lot of great tips. Let me know if you have more questions... but the quick answer is, it's done in post :)

Hey Jasa :) You can use your little joystick on the LCD screen - if you push it down a little option will pop up.

Spank you very much!

Thanks Candace :) Yea, I thought that a few times: "damn, why didn't I bring a tripod on my walk to the ATM" :P I thought about running 'smoothcam' on some of the shots but I didn't have time.

Hi Mike:
Check out this cool item for walks to the ATM. I bought one this year. Very liberating. Smooth fluid-type head. Lightweight and portable:
Bogen - Manfrotto Video Monopod with Fluid Head, Black Anodized, with Quick Release

The 561B is a 4-section aluminum monopod. It is equipped with a fluid head able to support up to 8.8 lbs. The key feature of this monopod is the fluid cartridge incorporated into the base that gives you an incredibly smooth panning action. Closed it reaches the compact size of 29.92". The fluid video head (similar to the 701RC2) features a new sliding plate which was made ad-hoc for this model. The ergonomic pan-bar allows smooth panning and tilting movements. Small and lightweight. The three retractable feet ensure a firm footing, and of course the fluid cartridge helps Videographers obtain superior images. (Approx. $200.00 // Bought it thru Amazon.com)

Thanks Ashley :) I was bummed cause when I squatted down to do that shot, there was a bird in that tree on the branch, but it flew away by the time I could take it.

Yea :) but I was a little nervous - I'm allergic to them :P

Thanks Ashley - I know, I think I'm gonna drag myself out of bed early more often :)

Thanks :) Do you mean because the people on Vimeo are so much more supportive and positive? Because if so, then yea, I agree - YouTube is full of jerks :P

It was only about a mile away :) but I kept stopping and filming things... so yea, took me a while to get back. I was so hungry when I was done.

Thanks!

Thanks Luan :) I think ;)

Ohh :) I can't wait to get a new bike (mine was stolen), I'll so have to ride around the town doing another video :P

"Today I went for a bike ride" :)

yeah :) that would be good.

my bike has also been stolen so I'm borrowing my mothers old bike (which is really anything to be happy of).
but I'll look forward to that video then ;)

have a good day.

You're probably right :) I just felt like I was trying to be all cool when I just went for a walk and tried to keep myself entertained...

naw, looks nice.

*shrug* I'm very surprised so many people liked it as much as they did :P it did feel very strange to see the streets so quiet with the sun up, that and all the birds *everywhere* :)

Thanks Giul :)

Hey Monika :) It's been a long time, I'm glad you seem happy in Warsaw, short of missing the sunshine here in LA ;)

I'd love to see a video of you going for a walk in Warsaw.

...and short of missing my friends :) Expect the video, but I'm am so pleasantly unsettled right now and have been going to bed no earlier than 4am that i'm missing out on the mornings so I can't say when. I guess I'll keep it a surprise... how come you're not on skype anymore-darn-it?

You could always go for a late walk in Warsaw ;) a 4am walk...

I know - I need to set Skype to open up on login, I guess I took it off when I started using iChat all the time.

Thanks :)

Yea :P I'm really impressed with my little cam's macro lens and rack-focus ability :) It's only the size of a coke can, but it's got an awesome little lens in there.

I liked the sprinklers too - they felt good on my feet.

Thanks Marion :)
