Dixie cup LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! footage and Live direct.

Post by John Gilmour » Sat Nov 04, 2006 3:32 pm

Well I am here at Dixie cup with broadband and video conferencing via Ichat.

any apple gurus out there that can mirror an ichat onto a server that can handle multiple viewers.....

I will stream live.

I can chat with up to 4 people at once so I can mirror to 3 different servers.

ichat id nobelprize@mac.com Mac and Aim will work

we will post the Ip address as soon as someone gets online. NCDSA is also invited to help us stream.

Ichat with me to help get set up.

the internet connection is not over the entire course- so when I film the finish my connection drops.

Ramon- can you host a live stream?

The quality is better than on youtube stuff.

we are moving the link to

http://www.slalomspot.com/video/2006/di ... index.html

you will see the entire race there- footage will be edited over the next few days..

sorry for the over "moving" camera work- just getting used to shooting like this.

Macs are fun

Post by John Gilmour » Mon Nov 06, 2006 6:05 am

Steve Jobs make it possible to attempt this.

Thanks for everyone's comments. All the clips have been uploaded. For a while I had problems uploading from a Hotel with a firewall.

I won't move the camera as much next time.
Please comment on what you would like to see in the future.

I'll likely get a real camera for this...and a Microphone.

Very hard to shoot- edit, make a website, and order it on teh fly. Next time I just want to shoot live onto a hard drive and stream wirelessly.

The link is simplified

now

http://web.mac.com/nobelprize/iWeb/Dixie/webcast.html

Perhaps Jani will start a place for these on the server and will replace this link so I can free up my space for shooting more things.

So i am always interested i finding out what people want tosee. Do you want more footage of gear set ups and hte logic of setting up a board, more on strategy, course reading? Or how about more victory and after party footage...awards ceremonies etc..etc.

Think of something that I haven't yet mentioned.

I'll shoot it next time.

Next live feed- farmageddon- a local race. Next weekend. this time we will try via cellualr modem.

John,

Maybe getting together with one of the more talented riders and discussing some general
technique concepts... to get the newer riders started on the right foot...

Anyways, I want to thank you for your efforts this past weekend and at the Nationals
too.

Good luck this weekend,

Tod

Hey- That sounds like a great idea.

I could do that at a contest while we were not running a race. Then try and take some examples from race footage to illustrate it.

Have you seen "Freewheeling"?

There is a short segment with Stacy Peralta and Bobby Piercy where they talk about style. Peralta shows his style (what we would now call Euro raised heel or English style) and Piercy shows his ski influenced technique (which was parrallel).

That clip got me very interested in try to learn as many different styles of slalom as possible- and what evoled for me was a mix of the styes and offset parrallel which you also see Dave Pirnack using.

So I might do a series of clips with different skaters and ask them how their particular style for each slalom discipline evolved.

And not just footing, everything about positioning that makes them fast.

I like Ritchie's style for GS. His upper body really lines up and concentrates the force directly through to the board. I think his GS style is pretty evolved- not much of his body hangs over this line fo force- if you look at Chaputs pics on ncdsa.com of dixie you'll see a comparision of his body position and see that he lines up his body really well with the line of centripedal force of the turn.

If you looked at Ritchie's older photos from 2002 you would see that he used to ride differently with his body more spread out over that line so there was a conscious decision on his part to modify his style.

So maybe I would use a combination of still photos and video to show this.

BTW belated birthday Ritchie.

Good idea- keep the coming.

ON DEMAND FOOTAGE

Post by John Gilmour » Wed Nov 08, 2006 1:50 pm

I'm also going to run a text internet chat at the same time next race.

That way...if you are at home.... you can ask me in real time to see me shoot a clip....LIKE say "Hey John, let me see the time diffenetials", or Papa Schwippert could say "I'm at work now, but could you please shoot a clip of my son in the semi finals"?

Or "What is Parsons riding? Or shoot a bad ass clip of BLR" etc.. etc..

A running text chat will also make it easier for me to connect with people that can host a stream...like this time Donald Cambell could have helped, but I had no time to check emails. This way people can contact me in real time.

I tried using iChat while filming BUT you can only use one camera at once (So while talking with Ramon- I often had to disconnect to shoot a run)- though I am sure there is some program out there that would let me use Ichat along with another camera at the same time.

One thing that was cool-

Racers could see themselves on my laptop while they talked so they knew how they looked and when they held up a board to the camera they could show the board the way they wanted to without having to gues what it looked like on camera.
