Hello!
Really liked the video!
I was wondering if you could share how the video was made (i.e. give a few directorial tips, what sort of software/hardware employed, the “know how”).
I work in a medical research group and we’d like to make a similar style video of our study participant’s typical day (which I might add, is somewhat different than that of a rower! Well, blood testing apart).
Cheers
Marianna
PS Great video!

Hi Marianna, the video was made with a GoPro Black edition video camera using a variety of mounts to capture different aspects of the day. Initially I was just testing the camera out (I got it at Christmas) and hadn’t planned to put together a full video. Close to the end of camp I had quite a bit of footage and so stuck it all together using the iMovie app on my iPad. It’s very simple and easy to use, but basic in the editing functions. I found some shots came out better than expected, some worse – it was good that I didn’t have any major plans and so was happy to just play with it. A head munt captured a lot of the walking shot, suction mount for static, and bar mounts when in gym. There is a chest and wrist mount available, but I haven’t bought either of those [yet!]. Data storage and battery life are limiting factors; I took 20gb of footage while on camp! Battery lasts 2-3hours, you can get a battery add on which comes close to doubling that. I would recommend short sharp shots so that clips aren’t too large when trying to edit. If this is a one off thing I would recommend just using a smartphone. The quality of image can be surprisingly good and overall is less data heavy – I use my phone more than camera when capturing video. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any further questions. N
