I went on a road trip recently with my wife Linda. I accumulated a bunch of disparate footage that I didn't quite know what to do with. I decided to put together a montage representing the places we stayed and what we saw through the car window during our long journey home from New Mexico to Washington.
This is the longest piece I have uploaded so kick back and immerse yourself in this beautiful and epic world :)
Point your camera out the window and start shooting. Show us where you're going, where you've been or just share the streets of your hood. It's about the road... and a trip... okay, it's about the Road Trip.

Spring on the Kancamagus - Letus Extreme Film - HDTV
I shot, edited and narrated a short documentary of my travels down the famous Kancamagus Highway (route 112) in New Hampshire.
With record snowfall in the area this winter, I wanted to see how much snow remained. I also wanted to see how high the lakes, streams and rivers were.
I hiked into Sabaday Falls with my Sony PMW-EX1 fitted with a Letus Extreme 35mm film lens adapter, a Vinten Vision 3 tripod, my homemade dolly system and my bag of lenses.
The waterfall was spectacular. The water was very high. I did not bump into another soul while I was shooting. I had to make two trips in with all my gear, leaving the dolly track near the falls while I snowshoed back to the car to pick up the more expensive gear.
The weather was overcast most of the morning and dry, but around 11am while I was at Sabaday Falls, the rain began to fall.
I was slipping and siding all over the place trying to lay dolly track in the rising waters of the very cold stream. I decided, after almost dropping my EX1 in the drink, to head out and shoot another day.
I got enough footage to write a story around and I edited it on my Mac Book Pro in my car while the rain blasted the windshield.
I edited the short using Final Cut Pro. I used the three way color corrector to add some saturation. I graded the color in each shot using Magic Bullet Looks.
Please go to my website, tomguilmette.com for my blog on the trip and production stills from behind the scenes.

Coronado to Imperial Beach
Technique: A windshield wiper mounted webcam is processed by a laptop, creating a time lapse where the exposures overlap (no movement is lost). The audio comes from pitch-shifting recordings from a large solenoid (modified bass speaker) which were capturing most low-frequency vibrations (the higher-pitched sounds are music playing in the car). More here: rpi.edu/~mcdonk/AmbientLapse/
Highlights: circles around star park at 0:34, motorcyclist trying to show off at 1:21, passing at 1:49.
Notes: The original length was about 26 minutes. There is a cut near the beginning due to some corrupted video, but it's hard to see. My sister Kiera McDonald drove, chose the path and music.

Its my first video and it is kind of a timelapse just that it's not done in the proper way but the result is almost the same.
