Diablo Lake dam tour video

I’ve spent my spare time for the last week learning how to use Sony Vegas on my laptop. There are a lot of good tutorials on YouTube, and here’s the list I subscribe to.

A couple of weeks ago I took a dam tour of the Seattle City Lights hydroelectric project with two friends. I wanted to give my Canon HV30 a test drive and see how it did. I was impressed with the sound quality of the on-board mic, but it does need a wind screen.

It seems I list to the left when shooting and I’m not sure why. I should also use a tripod, however since I was there for recreation and I didn’t want to carry a bunch of stuff with me, I left the tripod at home.

If this would have been for work, I would’ve brought a tripod and not talked during the video. All in all, the video is an accurate representation of the trip and not bad for the first try. Suggestions are definitely welcome by the way.

    “very nice…”

    Great job, way to use one audio track of the tour guide throughout, and good clips, now about that wind…

    Talk to you later,
