I just got a Panasonic Pvgs320 as a graduation present and I thought I'd test it out. I woke up at 5 a.m., rode (I'm not wasting money on gas this summer if I don't have to) five miles to the bank to get money then buy the tapes, and then did something I can't remember for an hour.

So here's three tricks filmed in my basement at 7 a.m. I skated for about 10 minutes and these are the only things I managed to land at that hour.:icon_bigg

I also might go out and buy a wide angle lense today, but either way I'll get some footage outside in a few hours.

Cool tricks! I can really see the difference between the quality of your cameras, your new one has more fps and its solid plus it's 16:9 instead of 4:3...

Yeah, the fps is the part I'm happy about. The slow motion using that digital camera sucked.

This thing should have way better color as well. It has 3ccds. I'm going out to buy some new bearings, a camera bag, and a wide angle once the place(s) opens.

Nice solid catch on the casper to nose casper, and well executed 'english flip'. Planning a full video any time soon?

Yes, I am!

I'm actually going to start collecting footage today. I also plan on having somebody help me out and doing rolling lines, etc., instead of just footage with a tripod.

Nice tricks. And I can see the quality difference in your videos. Deinterlace your videos after you edit them so they don't have those lines running through them..

Ok, thanks. I'm new to editing. I know what your talking about with the lines, but how do I deinterlace them? I'm using premier if you can be specific.

i suggest you download MPEG streamclip and deinterlace in that. it shows you good settings for compressing in .mov on that thread..

Imagine having to be at your job at 5:15 in the morning, then skating at 7 doesn't seem so bad.

and then did something I can't remember for an hour.


Ahhh! :eek: Someone smoking some crazy sh** and can't remember what they're doing anymore! :confused:

Just joking. Nice camera and tricks, the english flip was my favorite. You have a very controlled looking style.

Why does everyone in my life seem to think I'm a stoner? :icon_frow

I am of course joking, and I don't know anyone that really does but it's been kind of a running joke with friends just b/c I'm sort of an odd ball and behave like one.

I think I was just sitting at the computer looking at decks or something.

Certainly nothing wrong with that. To quote Fandangle "It's not a problem with the way I live, I'm just high"

Hahahah, I tend to give off that kind of presence at school some times but it's is more just having to wake up at six and me not being a morning person.

The Joe Humeres isn't that far off in dimensions, is it? and you could always have that shape made by Jeremy.

Eh...I like to stay away from things that can lower my ability to make judgments, etc.

Very nice! I really liked that casper underflip! I can't wait to see more with this new camera! :)
