JMetzner Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I got lucky and had a slack day at work, so I was able to upload some video clips to the web. For all the videos, if when you click on the link, you get a page full of weird characters, try right clicking on the link. Then use "Save as" to download it to your system and open the file with Media Player. For all of those folks out there interested in Mike's jib roller furler, here are a couple of short videos: www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/furler.wmv www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/furler2.wmv Swimmer under sail. You can't see it in the video, but the sail is a replica of the Alaska flag, complete the Big Dipper. www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/swimmer-sail.wmv Here's Jeremy's boat, Mellina, up from Anchorage for the messabout, making a fast pass in the opposite direction. www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/Mellina.wmv A couple vid's of The Flyer, with all hands aboard and flags flying. www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/Flyer-loaded.wmv www.arsc.edu/~jlm/AsYouWish/Flags-flying.wmv Enjoy folks! Cherrie and I had a great time taking them. Mark and Mike, I'll burn a CD with all the vid's as soon as I get a chance. --John M. Quote
Tim Diebert Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Good Fun! Well done. They all down loaded right to my media player as it should....worked perfect. Great stuff. Quote
Greg Luckett Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Hmmmm? Wonder why Alexander said Swimmer had a round sail? :? The square one makes sense. It would be great to see the front view . I really liked these clips...thanks to all of you. I will show them to Ben and Sam tomorrow. Ben is already chomping at the bit to build the Vacationer. Quote
capt jake Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 WOW! Great stuff you have posted there! I love the movies! Looks awesome and yet,................fantastic! .........Fantastically fun! :) :) Sail on!!!! Quote
Craig Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Damn those are good movies John. Looks to me like you just raised the bar again. Digital camera? Quote
JMetzner Posted September 1, 2004 Author Posted September 1, 2004 Craig, Yep, a digital movie camera, but not mine. I'm lucky enough that the customer site that I work at has deep pockets, and a penchant for toys. After using the camera for the launch of AsYouWish, I checked prices on the web. I'm glad nothing happened to the camera, I'd have had to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy a new one. --John M. Fairbanks, AK. Quote
Mike Pennington Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Thanks John, For your hard work, the clips are the finale touch to a perfect mess-about. Mike Quote
Mark Gudschinsky Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 John, Your clips inspired us to watch the video from our camera today. Some good shots of all involved. I'll pass on a copy to you and Mike, and Jeromy if he'll get me his adress. It'll be old fashion VHS - I know how to do that. Unfortunately neither me nor my computer has the capability to post videos to share with the forum. Next outing we'll all have to swap cameras so we get more footage of our own boats! Quote
Mike Pennington Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Sounds good to me Mark :roll: I do have a video camera, too. I just kind of forgot about it. :oops: Quote
Mark Gudschinsky Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 The videos Doreen took are great, you can hear the wind, there is laughter and the banter between boats, she really caught the mood of the day. Quote
Mike Pennington Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 That will be nice seeing them, I can still feel the sail for now. That was one excellent run, it was the perfect example of what building and sailing with our families, on our own boats, is all about. Quote
