RE: A Cycling Tour of Paramaribo, Suriname 🚴 Clevia to Welgelegen 🏙️

0:00:58 seems like you need to tie down the brake cable
1:04:23 scares the crap out of my pee hole

I skipped most of the middle part of the video. But I do realized one thing, why is there so many uphill? It feels like most part of the video you're pedaling hard. Or was it the type of off road wide profile tire.

On another unrelated note, I would like to sit for this type of video a little longer when, the camera is mounted on the chassis rather than the handlebar. Handlebar video - lots of head spin and puke. Chassis video, you can even fast forward it, normal speed on highlights and make the video looks super cool(I know there's a term to describe fast forward video and slowmo at the highlights, but am too lazy to find one, but that's the wordy idea).

Sort:  

There are always some close calls here when cycling here. I think because Suriname is mostly cars, people don't watch out for bikes and motos like they do in Cambodia or other similar countries. It seems like I'm climbing because when I cycle I am always trying to push the pedals my hardest, and when editing the video I noticed it doesn't make for smooth footage.

I learned a lot on this trip, but my RAM and software cause video editing to be a long process, often small errors aren't noticed until after the file is saved, which took three hours in this case. I originally wanted to do a slo-mo, but when I sped this footage up it got even worse, so I figured I'd just upload in full and let people click around and jump through the video.

You're right about the handlebar mount, a good idea in theory but not as smooth as a motorcycle handlebar footage would be. I think bicycling is too wobbly, so I'm experimenting now with a mount behind the rear seat, footage is already much more engaging. I think if I capture smoother footage the editing technique you mentioned will look really good. !ENGAGE 70
