Round 4 of the PNP Mountain Bike XC Series was held in Belmont Reigonal Park (Wellington) three weeks ago. Large amounts of rain had fallen over the few days leading up to the race, and my motivation to compete was waning. Scotty was feeling the same lack of motivation, so we decided to head along and catch the action with out trusty video cameras.
The plan was pretty simple. We both shoot the event, and then exchange footage. Then, we both go away and edit together our own version of the race. Two people, the same footage, a kind of video remix if you will.
The day turned out to be a blinder, hot and sunny - a complete contrast to days prior. We scurried up and down the tracks, climbed trees, slid down banks and generally spent most of the day in the bushes* in search of good angles. Afterwards we chewed the fat with our mates who had raced, so it was a great day all around.
The footage swap happened, and after various technical and compatibility issues and many hours of editing, we've finally finished.
We didn't speak at all about what we were doing - so we both had completely blank canvases so to speak. Would we end up with two completely different concepts, or would the clips appear to be very similar but with different soundtracks? You be the judge...

That's super cool Scotty.
I'm so stoked with the fact that they came out so vastly different, the experiment worked!
(now I will just cross my fingers that an elf will convert mine to flash...)

I liked them both, actually I disagree with Conners, I thought they came out quite similar (although they didnt share too much of the same footage, maybe 30%?). Anyways, Conners was the best by virtue of the soundtrack

I guess from our end we see our own clips numerous times, so seeing the other clip for the first time it's always going to seem really different to us.
Apart from the soundtrack thouh I still see them as being quite different, Scotty nails the pain and suffering angle with long shots, mine was more of a "lets try and spice this up by changing shots quickly and going nuts on the saturation" approach. Of course the soundtrack helped with that.
Mine is converted to flash now too - turns out the Vorb flash converter doesn't like Windows Audio Encoder Version 10...
