nice find, looks like a good one....

[Finity01]

I just may order that...:)

[PA!N]

Pretty cool, thanks for the find.
Whats the musik in the background?

[OutsidetheWire]

Glad you liked the trailer.

The music is stock music from Shockwave Sound.

My favorite trailers type vids are the souvenier pieces I edited for the Marines while I was in Iraq.

nice video.... where was it made? what parts of iraq?

[OutsidetheWire]

Snoddy,

I was embedded with the TOW Platoon/Heavy Combined Arms Team of Regimental Combat Team 8, Camp Fallujah in the Summer of 2005.

The DVD is in some ways a mini tour of the AO--Zaidon, Kharma, Amariya/Ferris and the wasteland called the Northern Security Zone.

We would pass through Fallujah proper, but never worked in the city itself.

i was down the street in ramadi during that time.... attached with the 2nd Mar Div....

[OutsidetheWire]

Hence your Avatar.

Fallujah was much, much calmer than Ramadi during that time period. At least that is impression I got.

I made one trip to Blue Diamond to interview the 2nd Division Ops Chief for another outlet shortly after an operation in May around Qaim. Just a fly in, interview, flyout, transmit.

I hope to spend some quality time in Ramadi this spring shooting the next series. Any place in particular I should visit or is it all the same ****.

[snoddy]

yeah when the laundry backed up we went there to do it..... blue diamond that is....

get into the gov't center down town (op hotel) and go to tameem, its the ghetto neighborhood....

[ArmyJonHall]

Does that come in different region codes, or Region 1 only?

[OutsidetheWire]

It is early for me....so I'm not sure I'm following the Region Codes question.

Different parts of the world have different region codes. If you take a dvd from US it wont play in Europe.

[CMNot]

NTSC format only, or PAL etc. as well I think he meant.

[OutsidetheWire]

NTSC

To get even more technical....

Shot in 4:3, 60i--which is NTSC standard definition television.

I used a Canon XL-2 in 2005.

The next one will be shot in 1080i HDV, 16:9 on a Canon XL-H1 still NTSC, but there are work flows for PAL that I may try assuming the cost is within reach and the European market is feasible.

I also suspect that PAL may do a fine job of upconverting HDV.

[snoddy]

hey OTW,
im bringin my video cam for the next deployment, last time i just had it record off my digicam, learned that lesson.... so whats the best settings to use when recording?

im still tryin to put my vids and pics together for the Mil. Channel
"My War Diary", its takin alot longer to edit than i thought....

If you have the cash, try the Sony HDR-HC5 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=1871&A=details&Q=&sku=475453&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation)

Because I'm a civillian now and not toting a rifle, I carry a Canon XL-H1 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=1881&A=details&Q=&sku=414530&is=REG&addedTroughType=categoryNavigation) with some modifications.

Just remember, trigger then shutter.

Being a civillian, I have the luxury of being shutter, shutter, aperture, focus, framing, etc. and never get around to the trigger.

Nice.

I'm going to have to watch this for sure.

[OutsidetheWire]

Oh, settings. There should be standard HDV/TV setting. Use that.

what do u mean by trigger than shutter?
do u mean shoot rifle then shoot film? lol

[Seraphim]

Hes saying he is no longer in, so he doesnt have to worry about shooting back. Except with his camera.

[OutsidetheWire]

Exactly.

You guys have a job to do first, then can capture it for posterity.

All I have to do is shoot back with my camera.

I'm always afraid some lance corporal is going to be more interested in getting it on tape than putting steel on target. Some enlistedman is going to get busted for shooting video instead of shooting bullets.
