I'd help you out with that, but our city doesn't have any main displays around town.

[Sole Signal [Audix]]

Even something like a neighborhood with a bunch of lights would work fine. From your profile, you're from Canada?

Every year, my town lights up main street with over a million Christmas lights, draped down the front of every store. I'll try to get some video footage of it while driving down the street.

Here's what it looks like:

Well, it may not be much, but I could possibly get your a small town shot of the main street of where I live. Its nothing too huge, the population's about 800 or so. It could be a nice contrast from the bigger cities that you have listed.

[Sole Signal [Audix]]

Looks awesome, SSL! Where are you from?

Also, Ruone, that sounds great too. Especially if it has some of that small town charm.

I can see what I can come up with. We got loaded with snow yesterday, and we're going to get a bunch more tomorrow and Monday.

Here's a pic, althought it is kinda small.

[Sole Signal [Audix]]

Great, just as long as you get the feeling that it's "Christmastime" (lights, decorations, etc)

[Ruone Delacroix]

The very small town of Hopkins, Michigan. If you look at the picture above, you can kinda see some of it, but the buildings on the left cover up the Quick Mart, Hardware, and further down the street.

They have decorations on the poles and stuff.

Any updates on this, guys? sendspace.com works well for transferring files like these.

Thanks!

Sorry Bro was going to shoot some video, but the HD camcorder I ordered is stuck cause of all the damn snow. Even got one day shipping, but still don't know when I'm going to get it.... hopefully today.

[PeskySaurus]

I could maybe get you a quick 4-5 second pan of me and my buddies having a beer (he's on temporary leave from the Army), with the neighborhood behind us, since basically every house on our block is lit up. I live in the suburb of a Florida ghetto, lol. If you want anyway.

[Wake[of]theBunT]

If you want anyway.

He wants...lol



DO IT..

That's cool, man. I'm still waiting on my Iraq footage which I'll get later this afternoon. If if comes in time and you feel like it, I would certainly use some footage.

And PeskySaurus, that'd be really appreciated, except I'd rather not have the focus of the video be you guys chilling. Maybe doing the pan without people in it would be better.

Also, whoever sends me a video, please tell me where you're from.

[PeskySaurus]

How do you manage to get locations like new york without people in it? lol

[Sole Signal [Audix]]

Well, I mean without people being the main part of the video. You kinda made it sound like you'll be taping your buddies drinking with Christmas lights only slightly visible behind them haha

[major]

my camera is stuck at a airport cause UPS doesn't have the equitment to deal with the snow... WTF they have like 8-12", while my yard alone is like 12-17" yet the regular non chains UPS truck can drive around... Complete bull honky(Christmas spirit). Well I guess no video taping of Christmas for me, thanks UPS.

[Sole Signal [Audix]]

That's cool man, thanks anyway. I have the majority of the vid done; still waiting on some people to finish it up for good.

I hope bass jumps in here; was hoping to get some good Hawaii footage after talking to him.

Anyone who is going to send me videos, just use sendspace.com and send it to g_michalec@yahoo.com Thanks! Also, please tell me where the vid is from.

[PeskySaurus]

sorry i won't be able to in time. merry christmas though

[Ruone Delacroix]

Sorry, I didn't get my footage. The weather was real crappy all week and things just didn't work out.

"New York is the loudest city on Earth. If it's too quiet, men come with jackhammers and drill holes in the street and leave cones in front of your apartment; you don't even know why.
Garbage men come; They don't pick up the garbage they just bang the cans together.
And if your street is too quiet they actually hire a guy to go up and down the street yelling 'F--- me f---- me, f---- me!!'
...That was the first job I ever had."

Anyways...
*watches video*

Nice and simple camera work on all clips. They all fit together and go with the music very well.
