Who needs a Play Station ?

I've been experimenting of late with my GoPro Motorsport Videos which were shot at the Three Sisters Race Course which I have attended with, with DRB Rally Sport.

I just wanted to give my GoPro videos an "Arcade" feel to them, almost as if to give you the impression that your playing on a Playstation or an X-box or something like that .  As a matter of fact it is that classic game
SEGA Rally that I have based the above GoPro Motorsport video on.

One of the biggest problems that I face as a videographer is that fact that when I edit my videos in Sony Vegas then I am doing so on a 32" High Definition T.V. Screen.  And then when I upload the video to the internet i.e. YouTube then the "colours" of my videos can / may appear flat / bland or even over saturated at times.  Yes, this is due to a number of factors such as

• I've converted my video file to a less quality video file such as "WMV".
• Standard Definition and High Definition screens sees color in a different forms of light.
• Screens may not be fully calibrated which sees "colors" being scattered all over the place.
• Then there is different color profiles

But none the less it is pretty frustrating when you are trying to simply "guess" the correct colors in editing in order to suit all the people that may be watching your videos via different monitors. i.e. Standard Definition Monitors, Hi-Def Monitors, Uncalibrated Monitors, Iphones etc... etc...  again it's frustrating as it's not all the time that one can get that balance just right.  But one still does have to try and "Boost" the colours with in their videos in order to make their videos look better than other GoPro shooters.  Now on this occasion I've had to use "YouTubes" internal editing system and do an "Auto-Fix" in order to bring the above video back to life, due to the fact that when it was uploaded then the colors were way off when compared to the colors it is that I had on my 32 High Def Monitor.

Any way to close this blog with guys, I think that I'm becoming pretty addicted to making these Arcade Style GoPro Videos.  I just can't wait for the day now that I will be making even more GoPro Videos with more than just one GoPro Camera.

See you all later
