I don’t do video, I’m a stills guy. I like a good movie – one with a good story – whatever the genre. But I prefer to tell stories myself using still images.
I am however a Swimmer and after a few years out of the pool as my kids have got more into swimming then I’m getting more involved myself.
So I guess it was only a matter of time before my interests came together: swimming, image capture, techy stuff.
When I met Garry I was inspired by his drive to improve the swimming ability of everyone he talks to. He’s more baldy-headed about swimming than even me!
We’ve now teamed up to provide technical analysis for freestyle swimmers. I’ve learned a lot about video in the process and the product is now matured. I’ve learned to ‘truck underwater’ and all about high frame rate capture. I’ve found some great free tools for editing video (and some crap ones). I’ve had a lot of fun and learned more about swimming in the process.
If you’re a mature swimmer and interested in improving your freestyle technique, check out video analysis cork for information on the analysis and development sessions.
It’s not exactly creative video – I’ll leave the wedding videos to the pros – but I’ve loved the technical challenge of getting this right.
