Turner's Perspective

Flickr Video Finally Arrived

The Best Just Got A Little Better


This video was shot with the Kodak v705 point and shoot. I'll add some higher quality video tomorrow and you'll be able to see it on my flickr page. The beauty of this embedded player is that I could choose to have no branding from Flickr at all. The current banner at the start, with my face, name and the flickr link, is optional.

Great ride early this morning.  Did you use the Action Mount?

Flickr's the coolest!! (You aren't so bad, either!)

This made me dizzy, you may have heard me said, I never ride roller coasters, this is WHY! But, another reason to put video in my arsenal. I am starting to use Flickr more and more.

That's pretty good video presentation already, Jeff.

How large is the file, and how long to upload to Flickr, I wonder?

So are you heading to the roller coaster day after day?  I want your job Jeff.  I know you do a great job and great music too.

I just got back from the bathroom...that made me way too dizzy...I'm not very good with those rides:) great video Jeff!

Flickr? Nice find - I guess I have to go pro now -did you hade the "six flags" overlay in Flickr?
Posted by Jason Todd (Compelling Media + Design) over 2 years ago
Now this is seriously cool Jeff.  Off to Flickr to check out what I need to do.  I have a video that I played with & edited and haven't decided what direction to go for the hosting - this may be my answer.

Jeff, love it! I love roller coasters and this made me dizzy and it was GREAT!
Posted by Linda Scanlan (A Fan of AR) over 2 years ago
Note to self, buy new camera and spend more time learning how to use it....especially on Flickr.  P.S. Learn how to customize AR homepage like Jeff Turner.

That was great, watched it with my hands in the air!!  I belong to Flickr, but mostly search and download photos.  I need to move up in the world.  Baby steps for me, off to check it out!

Jeff - you gotta post an image of the camera that shot this - I was floored.
Posted by Jason Todd (Compelling Media + Design) over 2 years ago

THIS was AMAZING!!!  WOW!  It's going ot be hard to find 50 words for these video posts...

How did you get away with having that thing on the coaster? Did the crew not see it? How did you hang on to it?

 

Posted by Karen Luke - Henry County Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty ) over 2 years ago

How did you manage to hold on to the camera the whole time?? That was AWESOME!!

On a second note How did you change the background on the page here??

Posted by Jeannette Neerpat, e-Pro Coral Springs/Parkland Real Estate (London Realty Corp) over 2 years ago

That looks like so much fun. I love roller-coasters. You did very well hanging on to the camera. I would have dropped it for sure. ;-)

Jeannette - Jeff's page looks great eh? If you check out Brad Carroll's blog there are instructions and a custom blog generator tool you can use to accomplish the same effect.

Jeff,

How easy or hard was it to work with this?  It looks great. I'm in the market for a new video camera for video tours and would love to get your opinion on the camera you used.

Oops, just got sick on my desk from the motion sickness.  I love the new look of your blog.  Us non-tekkie types will have to wait for your tutorial on how to do it.  I read Brad's blog but it was Greek to me.

Looks to me like I better locate all those flippin' passwords :)

The quality on this vid is amazing.  

TLW...ROAR!

Awesome!  I don't feel as sick as from watching Cloverfield, but close.  Thanks Jeff!

That was cool! I dont go on roller coasters but I loved it... that was just a handheld point and click Kodak that did that? I need to find out more about Flickr as well. I am realizing that video is the new frontier that buyers are going to be expecting. Thanks for keeping us up to date..

Best,

Scott

"Oh yeah baby. Here we go". LOL! Wooo Hoooo! I love it. I took my camera on the rides with me, at the fair. And we have a ride like that at Sea World in Orlando. I love it when my feet are just hanging. My hubby and I LOVE roller coasters!
Posted by Lisa Hill (Daytona Beach Real Estate) (Florida Property Experts) over 2 years ago
You know you're getting old when watching a video of a roller coaster makes your stomach do flip flops. :) Very nice.
Posted by Pamela Williamson Team Clayton, Missouri Real Estate (Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty) over 2 years ago
Thanks for the information and video it seems to load quickly and good picture quality. I have been concerned going to video from still photos because of the people that do not have high speed access may have a problem with the size of the file?

Urrrp... This video could cause me to lose my lunch. That's good, right?

Friends of ours were there last weekend - we'll be there in 2 weeks.  YEAH!  I haven't been to MM for 15 years or so.  It's going to be a blast!!

Jeff, thanks for the post and the ride.  I just love rollercoasters. 
Posted by Bob Cumiskey, US Army Retired, Your Sun City Center, Florida ~ Realtor (A1 Connection Realty, Inc.) over 2 years ago
The purpose for posting the video was to show the quality of the video compression at Flickr and to show that their embedded player has ZERO branding! So it won't distract from your own brand.
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 2 years ago
Jeff, this was great.  Ninja is our favorite coaster at six flags.  In our elder years we can't take the radical rides anymore...the heads and hearts that is.  FUN!
Posted by Ginger Foust-Home Stager Oakhurst CA Dream Interior Redesign & Staging Calif (Dream Interior Redesign & Staging Oakhurst CA) over 2 years ago

Whoa Jeff!  I am waaaaay dizzy now... Two questions:

1.  How did you hold the camera so steady?

2.  How did you add music to the video?  An add'l software program or does Flickr make it easy to do that?

Way cool!

Posted by Pasadena CA Real Estate - Irina Netchaev (Keller Williams International Realty) over 2 years ago
Will go to Flickr to check it. But hated the ride, I do not like them, and even remembering the lst one hurts.
Posted by Jon Zolsky, Daytona Beach, FL. FunCoast Realty, 386-405-4408 over 2 years ago

Jeff,

 Thats as close as I am getting to a roller coaster.  My daughter thinks they are so cool but I'll keep my feet on the ground thank you!  Good video nonetheless!

Posted by Sara Homan (Coldwell Banker Ellison Realty Inc) over 2 years ago
Nice, I have been looking for a nice player with not a lot of branding. Thanks Jeff

{SVW Hubba}...

I found all my passwords today :)

When I got myself logged in to Flickr I discovered we can only post vids if we pay $29.95 I think.

They are also only allow 90 seconds of vid...

Hubba I don't think I can get much happening in 90 seconds :)

TLW...ROAR! 

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 2 years ago

OMG...I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO THROW UP...LOL

THAT WAS GREAT! 

I am somewhat new here and find this to place to be very fasinating. So much to read and take in! 

Don't think I would have explored this alot without having been stranded at my desk due to a knee injury! Now I can say ~ wow...something GOOD did come of this!!!

Thanks to Mike Mueller  and his little fellas and thanks to Brad Carroll  and now YOU

I think I am getting the hang of this...but still green around the edges from the roller coaster ride!

Thanks sooooo much! 

Patty
