ive already commeted on the vid, but ill put it here aswell.

i dont know what lense you are using but if its a 2 piece one with a macro, try putting the macro the other way around.

less of a tunnel vision effect

From the opening note and scream, I kept thinking to myself, hmmm, that must be Christian metal :rolleyes:;-)

I'm more of a hairband fan myself.

Nice vid. That camera position makes it look like your are screaming through the fields. :thumbup:

Enjoyed the shadow. Good stuff!!!

SweeT im glad other people liked it besides me...

the lens i used is actually called a fish eye, most commonly used by skateboarders when they film street footage. Its a cheap model i got a long time ago when I skateboarded, so thats why there is some lens flare.

I wish i could of gotten some bigger jumps, you cant tell from the footage but there is a large barn south of my land that horribly obstructs the winds which make big jumps super risky (landing in cornfield rows suck trust me..)

Thanks again for the good comments!

yea i know its a fisheye, but mine comes in 2 parts. if you turn the macro around it opens up the veiw but still keeps the fisheye effect.

Hmm i didnt know the lense was meant to flip around... I hate oopening it up because there is an o ring that if you dont get perfectly centered it will obstruct the view. Just because you said that im going to have to play with it now.. damnit! haha
