Title:
1-4 Herbie (Robert Harsch) - "Night Driving w/ Canon FS200"
Description:
Night-time footage shot while driving, using hand-held Canon FS200 Camcorder. = = = SCENERY: Beginning with a left turn from N. 8th W., we travel down Main Street, Riverton, WY, making another left on Federal Blvd. That's one continuous shot from 0:33 to 1:15 (actual travel time was twice as long - clip is at 2x-speed), with effects added in a separate "track" in Nero Vision's "timeline" view. It allows only 1 effect at a time - no overlaps. Two edits & eighteen wheels later, we go through the triple tunnels of the Wind River Canyon between Shoshoni & Thermopolis, WY. Next, past the Cenex Oil Refinery in Laurel MT, which burns & melts into N. Federal in Riverton, a few blocks from where we left off, as we pull up to a convenience store. ... When I start a 600-mile drive at 3am, I MUST have coffee! The oil refinery clip had been taken a few days earlier at dusk, coming off I-90, on my way to get more coffee. = = = MUSIC: "1-4 Herbie" is a little jam I threw together 1992-ish on my 88-key Korg T-1 Music Workstation [8-track sequencer, 16-note polyphony], mostly to play with the phasing effect. This was recorded from the stereo outputs of the keyboard. I started with the 4-bar Drum pattern, added a 4-bar Bass pattern, then improvised the Piano & Sitar tracks in one pass each. I used a LOT of modulation & pitch bend expression on the Sitar patch, purposely trying NOT to have it sound like a sitar. At times it sounds like steel drums - fitting for the oil refinery. The title is an homage to Herbie Hancock, a fabulous keyboard wizard who has influenced me on conscious and subconscious levels. I detect his influence in this little jam from "Chameleon" and "Earth Beat". It is fitting that this song accompany a drive down Riverton's Main Street, since - "Back In The Day" - one of the few 8-track cartridges I had to play while "dragging Main" in my hand-me-down 1969 Lincoln Continental was "Herbie Hancock's Greatest Hits" (Columbia). = = = An MP3 of "1-4 Herbie" is available from my SnoCap storefront at http://www.MySpace.com/HarschSoundsMusic = = = CAMERA & VIDEO TECH STUFF: I think the oil refinery was shot on automatic exposure settings. The rest used the "Night" preset. The FS200's shutter speed & white balance can also be set manually, and the user manual has several suggested settings, including "shooting from a moving vehicle", but I haven't played with those yet. The Canon "MOD" files went through some extra processing for this video: first through Nero Vision to convert to MPEG-2 files, then through Windows Movie Maker for double-speed effect, coming out as WMV files. Then back to Nero Vision for assembly of original Canon MOD (spoken intro) and high-speed WMV files, plus special effects, text & transitions, and the mp3 of "1-4 Herbie" in one of the 2 audio tracks. ~R

 | Canon FS200 Camcorder @ HIGHEST QUALITY This is the Canon FS200 camcorder in it's "XP" mode rendered with Sony Vegas Pro 8 at maximum quality settings. I got this for $299 after shipping from Amazon. The good: Works great outside, amazing zoom, compact, uses SD card, the pictures are decent, very easy to use, GREAT PRICE for the amount of performance. The bad: Doesn't like artificial/low light or black objects(will ghost, the framerate drops, picture gets grainy), doesn't pick up fine details like hair(looks a bit matte at times).... |

This is done by the publishing mode 'Compress XX' , where XX is a value slightly lower than the 3/4 of the first 720HD file. |
 | Testing Canon FS200 - Windsurfer Zoom Took the Canon to the beach with us today and put it through it's paces. This is a shot using the zoom on a windsurfer. Unfortunately I can't remember if it was using the digital zoom or not. I am assuming it was. This is also a test to see if uploading the .mpg file directly to youtube will work. I had some problems with the audio in quicktime Player even after buying the mpg2 addon. |
