Chillin with JohnS.

[JohnS.]

3/4/12 update. For sake of memories, I'm going to keep the original thread lower in this post. I changed the thread to "Chillin with JohnS." since not every video will be of me driving. And I won't be embedding them since they're smaller that way.

All videos will be recorded with my GoPro HD Hero2 and at 720P/30FPS for sake of file size.

Took this on 720P/30FPS last night while I played some counter-strike. luls

Original thread:

Here we go... Some of you will look down upon this and flame, but it was someones idea in the cc chat and it actually sounded appealing considering I hardly go out (all my friends are away at college while I'm still at home going to a community college) and I drive a lot. So please, if you have stupid comments, keep them to yourself. I don't want this thread getting closed. Mods feel free to delete any stupid posts to keep this thread clean so I can keep it alive.

So every time I drive my car, I'll record it with my digicam. Obviously if it's to the grocery store, I'll stop it when I go in, resume when I come out. I'll try to record literally EVERY TIME I drive. When I go to class, when I come back from class, when I get gas, etc. Even if it's just 5 minutes. Gonna try to do something with my time now lol.

I'm recording on 320x240 and using windows movie maker to downsize the files since they're VERY large straight from the camera. The only catch to that is that I lose video / sound quality. Not a lot but a decent amount. You can still hear / see what's going on, but it's just not as clear. Then using a wmv splitter (since the wmm program exports to wmv format) into 2 minute clips since I'm using the trial version. So some days, there are gonna be A LOT of videos.

How is my camera mounted? It's wedged in the headrest between the top piece and the top of the seat where the plastic is that mounts the headrest on. This is what I mean:

Excuse the music. I have my iPod on shuffle songs and today it was the "rap" playlist. I have a VERY wide taste for music so I listen to almost everything.

Oh trust me. You'll see some. I get mad VERY easily on the road. I have a bad temper like my family.

You'll see. Usually it's in the mornings on the way to class since it's rush hour traffic and I'm trying to squeeze through it so I don't get held up with mile long car pile ups. I'll probably get raged tomorrow morning when I record myself on the way to class .

 

[LowNotSlow]

I don't miss my civic. lol

Nice vid though.

[Hondaz4LYF]

Nice videos man

 

[whtcivic93]

not to take a s**t on your thread but...whats the point?

 

[JohnS.]

No point. Just like justin.tv really. Just to record myself every time I'm in the car. Cuz hey...you never know when something interesting happens anyways. So many people find that justin.tv crap stupid yet so many people watch it. Yah know?

Still uploading the rest.

 

[whtcivic93]

lol, good deal..

 

[LowNotSlow]

Yeah cuz stock rsx's are sooooooo fast

Says the stock EM1.

You're just mad because motorcycles make as much torque as you do.

I like the vids, there doesn't have to be a point. I think the music helps.
