2019 Video Footage for EOY video

All --

I've created a 3TB dropbox for the 2019 Texas AI/CMC End of year video. I had a few of your emails and you should have received one inviting you to the drop box. If you haven't gotten one, please PM me your email address and I'll get you added.

Here's what I envision to make the video an entertaining success:

I want your bloopers and oops moments cut down to just the pertinent event and 20s on either side to give me some room to cut it together into the video.

Label all your videos with: Last Name - Track - Day - Race #/qual/practice - Short description (ex. Spin in T1, or "Race 1 Highlights"). Example being: "Records-MSRH-Sun-Qual-Huge lockup ruining Jander's lap

To do this, use a program like Windows movie maker or the GoPro editing software.

By the end of this week, I'll reach out to a few of you to help me with a highlight reel from a racing weekend to be used in the video. I need each race distilled into a 2 minute "highlight reel" which should consist of the start, any notable or exciting on track footage, and the finish of the race.

Uploading at 12Mbit/s is terrible!

Finally got around to getting my footage uploaded. Looking pretty sparse on the dropbox dudes.

Hey all, I have about another week I can sit on my hands before I really need to get this stuff going. Can y’all get me your email addresses so I can get you a login so we can get videos uploaded?

Otherwise it’s going to be the Josh, Daniel, and Craig show with some slip n flip footage

I have all my videos finally organized and in one location and will trim them down some and upload this weekend.

Sorry Craig, no waving this year. Just some head shaking after Josh got past me at Hallett, haha.

If you guys have trouble with the upload feel free to just mail me an SD card.

I got mine in the mail today so you should have it Mon/Tue.
Thanks for all your work on this, can’t wait to see the final product!!

well guys -- the amount of content received has been pretty small. I've got my vids (obviously) and Josh and Mosty from CMC and Craig from AI. At this point I probably don't have time to wait another week for content and I'm questioning whether sinking time into the video is worth it. Going to see what I can come up with but in the interest of the continued survival of our series, we have to do better :).

So I ask you this --

What is the best way to create this collection during the year at events instead of trying to assemble it after the season ends? One idea I came up with on my 1.5hr commute home tonight (Thanks Canal Barge Company) was to collect videos at events on Saturday evening after the racing is over. We'll miss Sunday footage but will at least give me a bank of vids to start with for next year.


Thoughts?

Great idea Daniel. I’m up for anything that gets our group in front of folks considering where to race. Pretty disappointing so few contributed for this video.

When Wendi and I took on this task previously, we would literally walk around the pits on Saturday and Sunday after the race with a laptop and ask to grab peoples cards out of their cameras. Almost everyone was totally fine with it, but that was the only way we could reliably get the footage. I even purchased a portable one touch drive thing that photographers use to make backups when on safari or whatever, but it was very slow and a huge waste of time. Cheap laptop, with a USB external video card reader was the fastest/easiest. We regularly got 8-10 racers videos (3-4 sessions each) every weekend. Also, we would just grab whatever was on the card, and often the cold tire spins in sunday practice by random out of class people were the best stuff. Hah.
BUT, with this approach, we had hundreds of hours of footage. You have to dedicate a month to doing to video, not just a couple days.

Whatever you put together, THANK YOU. WZ

This. The hardest part is getting the footage compiled to start with.
