    you were perfectly positioned for that round about shot. i really like the pavement-level camera angle. the sound quality is really amazing on this video as well. thanks for sharing.

    I just need to cut the wind out :( Anything over 10 mph is too loud in the camera.

    Used the WD-H43 .7x wide angle (except for one scene). Used the WD-H43 leather bag to level the camera above the grass while placing it on the ground.

    Pinnacle Studio 11 appears to butcher a few of the scene changes near the end, as the original video doesn't stutter (in the .wmv vers).

    The ground-level, roundabout segment with the Air Force Memorial in the background is just spectacular. Wow! Thanks for sharing your work.

    Thanks.

    Some people took some photos with what I think was too big of a fish eye lens.

    I think the .7 WDH43 was perfect for the corner.

    I believe you have a ufo in your vid, however I'm not sure, check it out in second sequence of the 3 bent sharp poles monument in the beginning flying across the screen. I'm telling you this cause I've been documenting a phenomenon in Sweden which looks very simmilar. I can't see if its a bird or not though, the phenomenon in sweden is definately not birds anyways, they move up to 1500 mps in my estimate at times ;) . Take care

    Hi. I saw the object moving across in the flash. Does seem very fast for a bird - but my first guess would be a bird.

    I will examine the source video tonight and investigate further.

    1500 mps = 1500 meters per second?

    I don't think it is one of those roswell rods.

    yeah you do that..
    oh perhaps I meant 1500 mph .. I don't really know.. but in frame per frame the object is gone across the whole sky in like 4 frames before it dissapear behind the cloud in my vid. The shape also looks like a cigar. I'm not kidding you, it really does. The videos I've captured are quite amazing I can tell you. They seem to make "airshows" for my camera. Just bought a HD camera and 3 objects move across the screen in one sequence. In another an object appears andstopps in middle of screen..goes to right..stopps..then goes out of screen. All this very fast. ;)

    Hi.

    I looked at the original video. It is definitely a bird, if not 2 birds. They take something of a bird flight path, up and down when they flap their wings.

    The flash just makes it look bad strange on LCD monitor.

    Ahh I see. Well you never know what might show up in the sky (I've definately discovered.) =)
    Have a good one Brian!

    Dude I have now been able to film the objects with my HG10 in 15 mbps Cinema mode ;)
    It moves very fast through a cloud turning, you can clearly see it =)
  • Brian plus 2 years ago
    upload it.

  • Marcus M 2 years ago
    as a matter of fact perhaps I will.. ! not quite yet though

  • Marcus M 2 years ago
    I have now uploaded a ufo vid, however the conversion makes it impossible to follow the objects course in the vid, you'll need to download the show for 230 MB or something like that..
    Cheers
  • Brian plus 2 years ago
    I downloaded your vid. It looks like birds to me.

    It could be bats.

    watch it again and see the movements of the objects. The movements of the objects are what make you able to identify them as NOT BIRDS aswell as the speed at which they travel. Remember even in 30 procent of real time speed or less the objects travel very fast and you NEVER see any wing movement. Watch again Brian.

    This is as I commented in the vid only a small part and not the most convincing footage of the ufos. I also have the objects in HD, 2000 shutter speed. NO WING MOVEMENT EVER

    try to film a bird in 2000 shutter speed without detecting a single wing movement as it goes forth and back in the screen and behind the clouds! ;)
