After being introduced to some UNH cyclers I can only describe as "badass" last week, I decided that they would make for a solid video project. Roadburn and wrecked helmets are everyday occurrences for them. Some of the prime racers get up to 60 mph on downhill races. They wear spandex suits without a shred of embarrassment. Cool.
What wasn't so cool was the little blips of audio I managed to capture while shooting some tape. I know that I'm an odd ball sometimes; usually it's at least borderline humorous so I can get away with it. However, to find my oddball tendencies caught on tape wasn't so funny when I wanted a good shot.
Audio Blip No. 1: I was filming an "action shot." One of my subjects was in the way of my cycler riding down a hill. I started making frantic humming bird noises, slightly panicked by the obstruction. It was low enough so no one else could hear it but the camera picked it up. Weird.
Audio Blip No. 2: This was the stellar action shot I shot while crouching down on the pavement. I got a shot of a cycler whizzing past immediately to my left, then right in front of me, then cycling off to my direct right - a perfect 180 degree line. Very cool effect. Although apparently, I thought the last line in my head then because I said a whisper/rasp, "Oh, that was so good." I sounded like a marsh creature eating a pizza. Thank god for the mute option on Windows Movie Maker.
