Our 2nd attempt at trying to figure out how we want to film the byway. When finished the byway information DVD should show the highlights with information about interesting things on the route. This time we mounted the camera higher on the jeep for a better look and also mounted a 2nd camera looking off to the drivers side, we also used 2 different still cameras for stills to add to the DVD.

What we have learned so far:

A. We need to do this on a nice weather day not when it is heavy overcast and light rain.

B. Mid to late afternoon is the correct time to do this cuz of the sun.

C. Slow down to about 5 miles per hour when we are near a interesting item.

D. Stop and clean off the outside camera lenses often.

E. Yes we will be using photos as part of the video

F. ???

To Test Video #2

Roger, liked the second attempt much better especially with the still shots incorporated into the video. Great job!

It looked very confused, not a very good guide in my opinion.

Whacky, Nice Video! The side look camera is a very good addition as are the stills. I would like to see more captions when u change views as I wasn't sure what u were showing first when you faded out of Navaho. Overcast isn't to bad, Doesn't your camera let you choose the light setting?

Your right Steve it is still only a idea and a long way from a guide.

I agree about more captions. I haven't got as far with the idea to mess with the cameras.

I meant the deer wasn't being a very good guide, not the video. I think you have a great start, keep up the good work.
