Busch Gardens Europe Video 10/20/07

[mayoki]

After numerous issues with uploading, somehow one day I got the footage to upload.

We had a great time and I got some pretty good footage, although due to an unknown reason, when I downloaded the footage onto my computer, it became filled with lag. It is still a good video, please ignore the shakiness in the beginning as I was sticking my head through the sunroof of my aunt's car, which was constantly moving.

This is my first video attempt.

Ignore the music if you don't like it. It has a good beat and I think it fits the video well. :rolleyes:

EDIT: When I say Big Bad Wolf in the credits, I mean Loch Ness Monster.

Comments and criticism are appreciated, as well as tips for future videos.

You should invest in a tripod if you're looking to make more videos.

Also, there's nothing too wrong with the song in general, but it just seems to be tainted by that awful Chris Crocker character.

Again, if you're looking to make more videos, try to get some cooler angles as well. I liked the shot of Griffon underneath the drop from that Cafe area. (What's the name of it?)

Good Video!

My only suggestions is to get more footage of the park, little too much of Griffon.

And take your time while filming. It seemed in alot of the video that you were in a rush to film.

Good video.

I already have a tabletop tripod, but my aunt and uncle (I was with them) said not to take it... It would not fit anyway because I was taking a small backpack, which I knew would be stuffed with my Statix models of Alpie and Griffon, and I ended up carrying them around the park.:(

The spot that I got under the drop was actually in the queue line. At one point you are directly under the drop, which was awesome. I realize that I got a little carried away with the Griffon footage.... and oh, how much I love my Nessie.;)

I got to the park around 4 pm due to heavy traffic and sleeping in (which I regret). We were in line to pay for parking for more than an hour and a half. By the time we got home we were burnt out, but satisfied. I wanted to get more angles and footage of the park but it got dark very fast. Howl-o-scream was killer in the Deadtime Stories area this year.

Way to use a Britney Spears song in the video. :p

Nice video but as said already, more sturdy filming would be good. As well as getting more variety of roller coasters and flats would make the video better but overall I liked it and you got some good shots that I liked.

It was a nice attempt, just try to find things to rest your camera on to make the footage less shaky..I'm seasick. ;)

I love that park ! I love that undershot of Griffon going straight down; from there it looks like it's only falling twenty feet. :rolleyes: For as long as the video was, I would have liked to have seen more of the park. The music did fit, however Britney Spears has become taboo. I'm sure that I couldn't do better on my first video.

I haven't ridden Griffon, but if it's anything like SheiKra, I'm sure it's an awesome ride. BGE is a beautiful park and I don't think you really captured the park's beauty.

Thanks for the feedback. Next time I hope we'll have enough daylight hours to get some good shots. I'll definitely use this advice next time.
