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.
Andrew I'm impressed .. the video is actually very good. I mean your commentary makes it interesting to watch, plus I have recognised some place where we went for run before :)
