I
finally resuscitated my server, and have started uploading video.
2013 Ascutney 2 (24 videos so far, still sorting and renaming them by number)
I wrote a simple little script that concatenates piles of videos based on their folder name, and decided to organize videos by car number. I'm working on incorporating some basic Youtube API calls to automatically upload after processing, but haven't gotten around to that yet. Anyone who's taking video at Philo (especially if it's your car) please consider dropping by my laptop and dumping your video files upon me. I'll be happy to organize any media that I can get into shareable clips, since it's all automated at this point. As long as your clips are only one car and I have somewhere to plug my laptop in, I'll have a clip for each car that can be reviewed on Sunday.
Also, bring some storage media (usb drive, SD card, etc) and I'll give a copy of all the footage taken to the car's driver before everyone packs up. I'll make it all available after-the-fact on my server, but based on its recent reliability issues, I'm hesitant to make any promises based on that.
If anyone wants to bring along a projector or tv, let me know what inputs it has and we may be able to have a mini-screening during/before awards.
If I get enough footage (including good audio) of any individual cars, I'd really like to put it together into a production-quality short film. I know two of you expressed interest in sitting down for a short interview, and I think I can make room for one more. If I can afford it, I'll rent a few h4n audio recording devices and bring along my microphones so we can get good audio ... but my funds are getting tied up quickly right now.
