First Attempt at a Two Rider Multi-cam Video

I'll preface this post that the video below is just a test. It is not meant to be the final product. I've been wanting to attempt a multi-cam/ dual rider video for a while now. Yesterday @sir crashalot who happens to be one of my longest standing riding buddies put up with my nerdiness so I could try this technique. Much was learned and mistakes were made but that leads to progression so I thank Gary for the help in making this first go at it.

What was learned thus far:
-The audio out of the Hero 7 is garbage but I think I found a work around moving forward.
-The color science between the Hero4 and Hero7 are comparable enough to make color matching easy for my skill set.
-when and where to make the cuts between cameras will take some more practice. There truly is an art to it.
-This process is going to be a crap ton of fun moving forward.

So with all that rambling on here's ye ole first attempt:

PS,
If the video isn't in 4k yet give it some time as the file was 5 gigs which youtube has to transcode....

 

Cool.

The chest cam footage resolved itself and was crystal clear. The helmet cam footage never did.

I can see where this could be a lot of fun for riders of similar speed bantering back and forth as they descend (a la Peaty and Warner a few years back).

Thanks for all your work for our entertainment!

 

I have a friend in another state who actually mounts 2 or 3 cameras on his bike and records with all 3 at the same time when he plans to record a ride. This way, you get different angles all from one ride. He even does split screen scenes at times on some of his videos.

He is a total electronics geek so video editing is actually fun to him.

 

That's fun to do as well. I've done it myself leading up to the test above. Always enjoyable to experiment with different angles and what not.

 

I like how you left out where I rolled the right line (after goofing and having to go back and roll into it again) and left in me saying "now make sure you edit it to look like i rolled into it without stopping"!

 

haha! That was actually unintentional. My bad as I meant to go back and fix that cut but forgot since I was vetting out some other issues.

 

haha its funny that way

 

True. haha!
