“Tahitian Pond” Video

[Larry De La Briandais]

One of my latest hobbies is “film making”. Bellow are links to You Tube videos I made of a backpacking trip I make every year. It is certainly not a light trip by any stretch, but I thought I’d post them here anyway.

That was a fun little video

Nice waterfall!

Thanks. It was fun to shoot and quite the learning experience. I have a whole new respect for Les Stroud (Survivorman). That little walk was maybe 15 minutes each way. It took me over four hours to film that and I didn't do everything I wanted as it was getting late.

And I've always thought it was a cool waterfall. And it's bigger than it looks, probably 30 feet tall. :8^)

Enjoyed the video, Larry. It looked like an awesome trip! How much camera equipment did you have to lug around with you?

[Larry De La Briandais]

Thanks.

Not nearly as much as you would think. The camera (w/battery and tape) is 1 lb. The tripod was 2 lbs. That's all I had. I now have bigger/more batteries so I'd also take along more tape, but it is still not terribly heavy.

The camera is a Sony HC28. Perfect for light weight filming in my opinion.
