Five years ago - a compilation

Post by Chris Bird » Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:51 pm

Hi folks
Well for some reason many of my video master files have disappeared into my Mac, but as I was searching this afternoon, I found this compilation that I started, but never finished, back in 2016. The films are from 2012 and 2013 when it appears that the sun always shone....... 8)



Cheers
Chris
PS Sorry its a bit long - but there are 18 locos featured!

No need to apologise Chris!

It took my mind off work on a Sunday night.

A nice little record of times past.

Played the video on my Apple TV onto my Smart TV, the video was well taken, but I wanted to see how it looked on the big screen, it was flipping brilliant. :thumbright:



Need to use the Apple TV more often....

I do the same Rod using Chromecast.

This is why it's always best to video in HD!

Thanks for the kind words guys! And great that you have enjoyed it on the Big Screen Rod and Tom.

For a few years now I have filmed in 1080p and then edited it to 720 which allows me to crop and crop/pan (Ken Burns). There must be over a hundred videos in HD on my Youtube "Summerlandsteam" Channel if anyone has trouble sleeping ;)

Cheers
Chris

Brilliant isn’t Tom, so many videos are much better in HD and watched on the big screen. :thumbright:
