Video from WA for those that have not been here :)

Hi Richard
Wow great vid and another Loreena McKennitt fan.
Cheers jack

Outstanding Tracy

I've got all the gear. Sony HD camera and the Sony editing software, but it's the software I can't get my head around.

Tracy you could do a lot worse than get a few of us local thickheads in a classroom and teach us the basics. If we ended up being able to put together a DVD like yours, you could charge whatever you liked....

Serious.

Really good Richard, well done to Tracy.
The kids seemed to enjoy the trip also.

I watched a few others on her Vimeo site also, The 80's Girl was funny particularly the bit about no Hubby's being harmed during the making of this film. :-))

Richard,

One of the more refreshing threads I have seen on here for quite a while. Thank you for sharing.

Well done Tracy...

Cheers

Beautiful stuff Tracy.
Great education for your billy lids. Better than it is even possible to do in the schoolroom.
I will get out there soon, I will get out there soon, I will get out there soon............

Really great to be able to see where I am going soon !!

Thanks for sharing

Richard and Tracy
Only one word can be said about your work "BRILLIANT"
You must be both very proud of your great work. Keep them coming here on the forum, you will get yourself a real audience.

Well Done

Hi,

Truly amazing!!!! we are so looking forward to seeing WA even more so now.

Thank You

Matt Caroline & Kids

Thanks so much for all the encouraging comments!
I can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to putting some clips together.
When we got back I immediately set to work on editing the kids documentary as I wanted to show the teachers just WHY we took them out of school for six weeks.
Shai and Jackson, aged 12 and 9 at the time did such a great job of filming with "their" camera. At times their enthusiasm for filming flagged a bit (it's tiring just being OUT there!) but with some encouragement we kept them going and it was WELL worth it!
When we got home they did all the narration themselves as well and I was so pleased to find bits of footage that they had narrated on camera also - which I didn't know about.
Just added that unique "from a kids perspective" angle to the whole trip.
It IS up on my vimeo site.....I had to separate it into four parts, so three parts are up there at the moment.The fourth is waiting to be uploaded and I'll have to wait till Monday to do that as I've used all my available upload space for the week. :)
If you've got kids and are planning these kinds of trips I would LOVE it if you would take the time to watch it!
it's very candid and very "real" lol!
Get your kids to watch it too - they will see just how much fun it is out "in the desert"! (Waaaay better than the theme parks in Queensland! lol!) ;)
I must say that by getting our kids to do this - make a documentary, it kept them amused, as well as focused on all there is to see, instead of zoning out to what's outside the car.
And at the end of it a sense of pride in their achievements....and a good laugh at themselves too! :)

Here is the link to the first part of the documentary.

Tracy

G'day Richard passed you again this morning heading down the hill.

Excellent filming Tracy. Vid 2 is currently off line. Will have to have another look tonight.

A bit more water on the track in than I encountered in 06. I reckon you should flog the vids to Tourism WA as the one on Purnululu is by far better than their's.

Keep them coming!

Fantastic footage and production there Richard & Tracy.! When I get my head around the video upload thingy myself, I will have some footage of mustering while we were up Nth in WA on the Station. Its a magic state over there, you guys are blessed.Unc

Just wonderful Richard. We were there 4 years ago in what was probably the best trip we have ever done. Now you have made me want to go back even more. Congratulations to you and Tracey for superb work.

Cheers
Dave
