Title: Solar saltbox movie
Post by: John Raabe on September 20, 2006, 02:19:04 PM
This is just a test of a short video taken with my digital camera. Nothing fancy.. just a trial to learn how to do this.

Thanks to Glenn for sticking his toe in the water.

Nice place you have there John! Maybe I should think about building the saltbox. Sooner or later, I'll have to make up my mind.

Nice video and being able to add text and voice is a nice touch.

Cool, John -- you're a movie star.

The video loaded faster than I could watch it -- no stops or buffering.

We are running DSL with a wireless to our laptop computers. :)

Great looking house & moviestar you featured, John!

BTW, Miedrn, it's a good thing you have some time before you have to decide on what you really want - by then you will be pretty much sure of your choice, hopefully...  ;)  There's so many neat looking owner built places on CP alone.

It's nice to see a little of your home and you John.  This sure has a community feel to it.   Thanks for letting me be a little bittie part of it, mostly a taker rather than a giver!

Sassy, the problem is I like whatever I see here! It's difficult to make up my mind. I think I better start at the beginning again!

Just when I thought I knew the answer, I forgot the question.

Miedrn, I didn't think it was proper for women to ever know what they want - I guess it's OK as long as they have the option to change their mind or take it back. :)

How am I doing in my effort to understand?  Please rate me from 1 to 10 with 10 being very understanding.  :-/

That was a fun first attempt at video. The compression was set pretty high to speed up loading (there was more resolution in the actual video footage). Maybe next time I'll try for a bit more quality.

Also a sunny day would help!

Here's the camera I am using:
