It looks like there'll be a whole new project coming - the bike project, 'cos running is off the radar for the foreseeable future. I'm going to use the opportunity to improve my riding (easy off such a low base) and maybe video-ment (I don't think that word will catch on) some of the visual features of the runs, since I never really persuaded myself that a head camera made acceptable viewing.
I might try swim-cam as well, but seen one indoor swimming pool, seem 'em all, I reckon.
This is the first attempt. It's pretty long - about 45 minutes - and the commentary is no masterpiece, but hopefully the whole thing will improve with practice.
One thing about real time video (personally I think it has its own charm) is that it makes you realise how much editing takes place with documentary footage, and how little you actually see. You need a lot of preparation to do the commentary, but writing a script creates another problem: it's incredibly hard to deliver a script and not sound wooden. That, of course, is why they allow actors to get money for showing off on stages. It's harder than it looks.
