Trying to change filters, getting a bit dark.
Okay, while I’m doing this may as well do a colour check. The white balance. Colour check.
I use that because I'm a nerd. Haha.
All right, there we go, all set up, ready to roll.
I think there are some people standing to the left of me then probably going
“Is that guy talking to himself? Pretty sure that guy's talking to himself” but I
wasn't talking to myself, I was talking to you. I'm not crazy. Maybe a little.
Anyway, I use that little thing because I'm a giant nerd
and I like to do nerdy stuff. What that actually is for is for checking the colour balance
and it's a much faster way of being able to do your colour.
It takes a massive nerd to do stuff like that and most people aren't going to do that.
I do... seriously all over the road.
However, I did think that, while particularly that we're in lockdown and I can only really
go out for exercise every now and then, so not doing the big adventure stuff at the moment,
I thought I may as well do a couple of videos just on how I edit. I thought I might share,
you know, the way that I do my editing and the way that I, you know, my
workflows and my processes and all that sort of stuff but specifically for motorcycling.
So that's what I'm gonna do. So I'm gonna start doing a series of videos around that.
Quite a few people have been asking about my GoPro set up so I'll cover that off. Also,
I want to cover off audio, how I do my audio processing. Check this house out, by the way,
this place is nuts. Apparently that place there, apparently that's Alan Jones's place I believe.
So I thought, well yeah, cover off things like that. Cover off what settings I'm using on my
GoPros but also probably more importantly is sort of the process, right. The workflow, where I store
my files, how I store my files, how I back things up, all those little bits and pieces.
Over the years, having made a lot of videos like this,
you know, a lot of the videos I've made in the past, uh ...nice Porsche... then, you know.
I've worked out a workflow that I think, for me, works really well.
Now, another really important thing is, this up here, right there, um, this patch of grass,
was where I did my first doughnut and it was to 4 Non Blondes and every time 4
Non Blondes comes on the radio, uh I think of that day where I did my first doughnut
and it was literally the night I got my license. Bloody reckless P Platers.
Yeah, this is my old stomping ground. I grew up on Annangrove Road,
it was within earshot literally shot of Amaroo Park Raceway. So many of the residents used to
complain about the noise of the racing, they used to give away free tickets if you were in the area
and you lived on Annangrove Road, so I used to go every weekend to the racetrack.
I did a burnout in that car park too. Just right there was my,
that parking spot was where I used to always park.
This was a little local shop where we bought milk or bread in there, obviously not anymore.
Anyway, besides doing a trip down memory lane, that's what's coming.
Every man and his dog has made videos about how to make videos. You know,
it's not a new thing by any means but I thought I'd just do something that's sort of niche
to motorcycling because there's little things that are different
from motorcycling and also because I just want to. And that's as good enough of a reason as any.
You know, if everyone just… oh, I knew you were going to do that.
If no one made any of their own thing just because someone else does it then,
there wouldn't be so many things. [laugh]
The point I was making was just because someone else does it,
doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You just gotta do it better. Otherwise, that would be a monopoly.
