I keep thinking it would be neat to make a video that is a patchwork put together of my fellow motor bicyclist riding there bikes from all 50 states. Here is what I am thinking. I have the ability to download any video from Youtube and convert it into a format useable for my video editor. So..all one would need to do is post a video of them self riding there bike on youtube. Then they could come on here and post the link and tell me what state that video was shot in. ONce all the videos are compiled on my hard drive I could then take the best one minute from each video and patchwork them all together into one single video showing a 50 state ride.
Of course I would prefer that all videos are of the best possible quality or at least watchable without alot of vibration or severe shaky camera movement. I use a $10 #808 key chain spy camera mounted on my hat and it does a fairly descent job....so it really doesn't take high dollar equipment to get a descent video. My goal would be a compilation of all 50 states by this summer. In many areas this time of year the weather is not real good for taking the best videos and the scenery is not at its best. In some places riding is not even really doable this time of year. So if I make the deadline for video submissions for no later then June 30th...that should give folks plenty of time to scrape up something to take some video with and time for perfect scenery to develop in your area maybe this spring.
If we have more then one video submitted for a state then I can then list those videos in a poll and MB members can then vote to determine which best video taken in that state goes into the 50 state video. I think folks would strive harder to make the best videos possible if they know that they may have some competition in getting there video selected for the 50 state video., and not to mention that no video would actually be wasted time because all your motorbycyling brothers and sisters are still going to be checking out any videos you submit to youtube and enjoying.
So if anyone already has a video created that is already on youtube that they would like to submit...please post the link here and tell me what state it was taped in. I will not create the 50 state video until after June 30...so if you post a video and later decide to submit another...just let me know and I will be happy to take your old submit off my hard drive and ad the new one on there.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions to ad...please feel free to do so. Should be fun seeing how close we can actually get to getting all 50 states by June 30th. I will start it out.
