Video tips

If I wanted to video my ride on my Hawk would you suggest I mount the camera on my bike or on my helmet?

On your helmet. Less vibration and the video will be whatever you are viewing with your eyes.

Absolutely no music background! I want to hear engine revs and shifting and your occasional commentary. Music added post editing gets the video shut down.

Great tips. I can't wait to try it. I just need a 50 degree day..... perhaps April.

Exactly right. Periods of music ok if called for such as a Montage or special situation but loud continously running is just annoying and on goes the mute.

I would imagine editing is a fine art that is probably not easy. I think you have to remember to think that you are telling a story with pictures (and monologue/ dialogue) which needs a beginning, a subject or cause, the follow through, and the conclusion.i think that's called continuity(?)

Can't stand a video that has annoying music backgrounds. If I wanted to hear music I would WATCH A MUSIC VIDEO. It doesn't make your video or your ride any more appealing it makes me want to NOT watch it. Like was said I want to hear the bike, the wind maybe, and rider commentary.

Though I still can't shoot a video to save my life (looks great on my PC, always grainy once it hits You Tube), I was told by a member here that even though it's on your helmet, avoid looking around. It makes the video viewer sea sick, even though you're just trying to show them sights. I tried both, he was right.

Last time I noticed my sports cam perfectly fits on my molle vest. The video I made turned out pretty good.

If your cam has a pinhole mic, do yourself a favor and glue a piece of sponge over the hole. I'm putting up another video today, to show the difference. Wind noise is a pain in the arse. Off to the track!

edit: not great, but if you listen to my earlier videos there is a world of difference. Anyone else have a better method?
