So I was doing quite a bit of recording on both GoPros this past weekend at the Yorktown Kite festival. I've been converting all of the footage to go
through and select clips for my YouTube site.. During my 6 Stack footage, some annoying kid walks by and slaps my camera out of her way. Her
expression tells me she knew exactly what she was doing. She probably didn't know it was recording though. There's a reason we don't typically let
the public on the demo field and she's a good example.
My question is: Do I post this kid's mug on the video since she ruined the shot and a lot of the footage or should I take the high road and just let
it go?

Maybe incorporate the footage into your next video. Might make an amusing closing edit. Kids will be kids. erratic winds - 15-4-2014 at 12:52 PM

The more I think about it, the more I think to take the high road. If the camera had been damaged, then maybe it would be different.BeamerBob - 15-4-2014 at 01:58 PM
You don't do the kid any favors by letting them think they can disturb/damage other peoples stuff without consequences. She did damage your video
which can't be recreated.BEC - 15-4-2014 at 04:18 PM
As much as it kills you & you keep thinking about it over and over...your own comment will always make you come out on top...always does
Taking the high road = good karma....which translated to a fellow kiter means... one perfect sunny windy day coming your way...
The more I think about it, the more I think to take the high road. If the camera had been damaged, then maybe it would be different.

Also consider the possible negative consequences of posting video of SOMEONE ELSE's kid... Regardless of the kid being a PITA, a parent might get
pretty bent about you "making my kid look bad"...
There may be absolutely no recourse for that parent, but it is something worth considering.
Anywho,... I'm always in favor of taking the high road... Wifey and I try to teach our kids to stop and think "is that helpful?" ... If not, then it
may not be worth doing (or saying).pongnut - 16-4-2014 at 07:17 AM
My curiosity is piqued. Why don't you post the clip privately so we can review it?PHREERIDER - 16-4-2014 at 08:53 AM
publish to public without permission, then YOU will have a problem.
high road +1. the moment and consequences THEN have passed so not alot you can do . its YOUR lesson for sure ...look how your growing. riffclown - 16-4-2014 at 12:28 PM

I feel if I cross that line it's crossed.. Yes I could post it unlisted.. I may just blur out the child and move on.. The high road is looking more
and more like the right way to go though.. pastorbudwine - 16-4-2014 at 12:42 PM
if you are going to post her or any other person technically you need there consent, without it they can force you to take down the video or even sue
you for deformation of character (granted I highly doubt that will happen, but something to think about)riffclown - 16-4-2014 at 12:51 PM
I looked into that and, if the video is in an organized event at a public venue, consent is implied.. Like if you go to a football/basketball game
then no consent is needed to post your image on the jumbotron.. or if you are a passerby on the street where someone is filming news stories.
Having said all of that, I've decided to take the high road and there will not be a recognizable image of this girl in any of my
videos.. She doesn't deserve the visibility positive or negative and I'll work around the camera angle changing.. abkayak - 16-4-2014 at 12:52 PM
if you didnt get the satisfaction of making her cry on the spot..whats the sense…damn kidsriffclown - 16-4-2014 at 01:08 PM
Nothing recognizable but this should satisfy your curosity.. I've edited out the event and working around it..
