TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 Who's bringing go pros? Also is there anyone here that knows how to splice and edit video so that we have something promotional for next year? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 Pre-Run is complete!!! Thank you Alex, Sherm, Greg, Haemish and Sherri for all helping out. Please note we are going the opposite direction this year. This is to avoid traffic from the Redskins game. This morning traffic wasn't that bad near FedEx field but it was a little heavy. We will be coming out with a map and will have pictures and some blow up boxes for some critical parts. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

randmness Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Who's bringing go pros?

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 I'll bring my GoPro. I have a Hero 4 Silver that I recently used to record a run with the Central MD Mini Club. Awesome, can you bring it along to shoot part of the run? We also need someone that's not doing the run to shoot the MINIs leaving. I plan to use my phone to interview people about why they are attending and get clips of people thanking the veterans Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 I was planning to record beginning to end (leaving the mall to Killroys.) Great, I think we can use that along with some of the other vehicles footage. I also am hoping to find someone that isn't going to be driving in the parade and isn't flagging to grab a short amount of video of the cars leaving the lot. Then we can grab some of them arriving. We only need like 30 seconds of footage on each side, hopefully with people waving cheerfully and yelling "Thank you Vets!!!" and stuff like that Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 I bought red, white and blue streamers and pennant flags on about 20' of string to hang onto the cars and decorate. I also got a pack of window markers red, white, blue and yellow If you have a window flag from prior years please bring it Let's make this look like a parade!!!!
