Test 02 - Slow Motion (60fps - 24fps)
Today I just captured a quick clip of my dog in the snow to see what the 60fps would look like slowed down. It proves once again that a lot of things look nicer in slow motion (and obviously the music helps too).
This is only the first stage - I have figured out how to get to half speed, now the next step is using twixtor to get super slow motion shots.

The Future Is Here - 360 Video

LINK:INCREDIBLE 360 Degree video
..This is the future guys. Imagine live broadcasts using this technology that allow you to look at what you want. So many possibilities.
Test 01 - Sunset Time Lapse
Sunset Timelapse from Des Foley on Vimeo.
This is my real test to see how the Go Pro HD performs doing a time lapse. The result is okay but nothing spectacular. I feel that there needs to be a much longer time frame and a much faster playback for this to be interesting, but since the battery died I only manage < 4 hours. Still, some lessons have been learned from this such as 'use a power supply where possible' and about batch processing the pictures.
