Hi Guys,
Excited to FINALLY be starting this project.. I've got a bumblebee roller that needs everything. Paint and body work will be done by a pro, but I'll tackle everything else and shoot videos of the process. The first episode is up... Upcoming eps will cover prepping for paint, upholstery, sourcing parts, brakes and suspension, steering, glass...everything. Please subscribe and follow along. As usual, feel free to suggest things you'd like to see..and let me know when I'm screwing something up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUYF6koDUhY PS: The Newbies series will continue as soon as the bumblebee is off the lift... |

Thanks for the feedback. I do use a tripod and/or stand where I can (like in the switch removal process), but it's not always practical to use camera support, given the tight spots and weird angles involved in working on a 914 (the dash nuts under the cowl, for example).
I frequently find that the best clear shot at something is from my POV. Otherwise, hands or tools block the action. Or the tripod prevents me from actually doing the work safely. What exactly is it about the POV that you don't like? Is it too close? Shakiness? Would love to hear others chime in on this. I want these videos to be as watchable and helpful as possible to the community. All feedback welcome. |

I mostly enjoy the vids, and now I understand the reason behind some choices I can understand them better. That being said, I do always give the thumbs up for the vids because I know how much time it takes to actually make and upload this stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) And more subscriptions and thumbs-up will help you gain traction on YT! |

Since I'm a retired photographer I understand the problems encountered with moving action camera placement. But there are some places where your single hand held camera becomes awkward, mostly for you, and the solution might be a head/helmet or chest mounted camera, allowing 2 handed action. It takes much practice and attention to movement to capture stable video with a helmet cam, and I don't know if there is a consumer grade camera with adequate image stabilization? |
