Beautiful Women At The Mall and Beach

Notice in this video that my new homemade Bloggie microphone windscreen doesn’t seem to muffle the sound, which is good, since I can just leave it attached to the camera.
What is that sound in the background, though? The refrigerator? My computer?

Getting only one or two video views is no longer fun for me (Jim and/or Janice?). I don’t see any way around this problem other than to shoot half nude women at the mall and chicks in bikinis at the beach. If teenage girls, Orange County housewives, Los Angeles ladies, Hollywood hopefuls, beautiful babes, young, old and everything in between, can’t generate enough video views to keep my interest going, then it’s pretty much over for me.
This is also a good thing for Janice, since she will save lots of money if I don’t have to go look for another more expensive hobby like most men have.
Thank God it doesn’t take much to make me happy.

Watch this video in 2D or 3D by clicking on the “3D” button under the video and selecting your options, e.g., “Turn off 3D”.
If you are using red/cyan anaglyph glasses, be sure to select “Red/Cyan” then “Optimized (Dubois)”.

Risking My Life For A Windscreen Test

It was a scary ride… total chaos, too much traffic on the highway, and the unsafe bicycle has broken spokes and needs a serious fixing-up. Because of all that chaos, the composited dual-shot with the talking-to-myself effect… one recorded while going up the road (the background), and the other one while going back down (my head)… is probably appropriate.
The good news is the homemade Bloggie microphone windscreen seems to work perfectly, which is why I shot this video, i.e., to test the windscreen.
The Gorillapod… not as lucky. I need a better way to mount the camera to the bike. Also, that shot straight up at my head, although much more steady than the background, because the right side of the camera was resting firmly on the bell, is a very odd angle. Not sure what could be done about that.

Homemade Bloggie Microphone Windscreen

I couldn’t resist doing a quick test tonight of my homemade Bloggie windscreen made from a cut piece of a Scrub Buddies from the Dollar store, placed over the Bloggie microphone with double-stick tape, as you see in this video. There was just enough wind to test it. Looks like it’s going to work great!

Broken Spokes Question and Mall-Hopping

Can you bicycle people please help us? Why are Janice and I breaking spokes?
Meanwhile, we are getting ready to go mall-hopping here in southern California.
Since I need to solve the bicycle wheels problem before we can hit the bike trails, I am testing my homemade Steadicam again in this video while walking and jogging. You know when I start running when you hear me say, “Double time, march!”
The audio noise in the Bloggie 3D background footage is actually from the wind, not the walking or running, but I also need to solve that problem, too, if anyone has any ideas for a Bloggie windscreen.
