I'm really liking the Pocket 2 for this kind of footage.
Absolutely amazing small tool for making smooth footage.

Have you mastered the Ninja Walk? I don't detect any jerkiness as you move along. Or are you cycling again?   Nice vid.

Yes, it's quite smooth, even the real time shots.

I'm a master of the ninja walk by now

Thanks.
It is not that hard, just bend the knees while walking

A great use for the P2 and some nice family time. But I have questions

1> At 51 seconds what are the stones on the ground for?
2> At 1:55 Did the P2 fail you or just Davinci decided to render upside down>. ( Had to stand on my head to watch that bit)
3> Why no drone footage?
Feel free to answer seperatly.

Thanks for asking.
Those stones have 2 purposes.
1. Break the water flow and prevent eroding.
2. Let the silt sink by lowering the speed of the water.

Nr 2 is a happy accident.
P2 failed on rotating the image.
But I kinda liked the output and decided to keep it that way.

No drone footage is simple.
It is not allowed to fly in most nature area's.
Now I could have taken it and do it anyway, since it is still a subject for debate, but the nice thing about the P2 is that you can keep walking and have minimum interference with the activities.
Where a drone forces you to take some time (20 minutes or so) and have everybody wait for you.
Not something I like to do on such occasion.

But if they collect silt,   surely after a while they would need to be cleaned to maintain there effectiveness.

oh dear.    I wasn't sure if it was something technical or something artistic.

Ah yes,   SHMBO'd can get a bit bored hanging around like,   its OK at the moment as Strictly is on and she catches up on the dances to stay amused.

I think they will do that.
However, there was still quite a bit of the residue on the ground, so I'm not sure what the company that manages this area is doing to maintain it.

Sometimes you need a happy accident to move further.

Ah if they do then it makes more sense.

Well that sounds better than the usual accidents.

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 23:28

It is an experiment from the government, so there should be some evaluation documents, but I have only found an older one.

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 23:30

I heard this term for the first time when watching video's about synthesizers.
Some (more complex) ones have so many possible combinations that you every now and then run into a 'happy accident' leading to a nice new sound.
And I think it is applicable for many creative processes.

Yes we have that saying here too.   No idea where it originates from.

Are there no information signs as you go in,  here we get those in quite a lot of places.

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 23:40

Me neither. But I like to use it to my advantage.
Being conscious of failure is not failure per se.

There is some general information on display, but not in detail.

Thats very poor of them.


BTW new shot up in the Works section if you want to check it out.

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 23:58

Not many people will be interested and they need HUUUGE signs to display it all

DAFlys Posted at 10-25 23:58

I will soon.
Have to get back to the other screen too soon.
