A few days ago a friend and I went back to school. Not exactly a kite, but heck it looks a little like a kitesurf kite. Anyway, this is sort of a minimalist land yacht. :)

thanks Randy,
camera is in a fixed position and i cannot change that while driving..

i used a 360 degrees camera wich is mounted to look upwards.
to edit where i want it to look i use Movie Studio 15, the 2018 version.
the other camera is a cheap version of a GoPro.

acctually both are 8 to 10 times cheaper.
and sure: the image and quality is better of a GoPro,
but when i lose or damage it my heart will not stop beating.. :D

now i have in total 7 camera's for the price of 1 GoPro.
5 action, a bullitcam for in the kite and a 360.
and on an tripod i use an old Samsung S5 smartphone.

Some nice soundtracks from Randy and Jantie to start my morning.

Randy. I knew you'd eventually see the light and start using LEI's. Now put some lines on it. :P

Jantie, good to see you facing the right way. :P

Thanks Red Sky. I've had LEI's for a while. Like as someone once said "Kiters of the world get a wing. You have nothing to lose but your strings."

Had some fun last week. Unfortunately the harddrive crashed so lost footage of 3 from 5 camera's. But just to give an impression of a nice day here's one of just under 2 minutes:

:thumbup: Another moonscape. HaHa! Some parts of it did look like it could be the moon but then you would have to ignore the water.....;) So now that we have seen the trailer start cutting and editing so we can see the entire show!

Thanks Redsky, for editing I use WMM and MovieStudio 2018 with 360 tiny world.
My laptop doesn't agree with such heavy software so editing doesn't take much time, do to render and add the effect are time consuming to the max... but I really like doing that and the end results are getting better.. :cool:

And I complain about getting splashed from a little wet grass where I ride....Very nice work Jan!! The music goes very well with the video. Great choice! I can sympathize on the video editing. Takes too much time and computer power for me as well, so I limit what I do most of the time.
