Here is a short video of some clips I had laying around. I was messing around and actually put this together back in April and completely forgotten about it. Before I erase this sucker off my hard disk I figure I would upload it to youtube and share it with everyone.

Here is a commercial I shot last month for Canyon Bay 2400. It was a bit of rush job, I wanted better B-rolls and better interior shots. Plus I wanted to work on some after effects 3d text but didn’t have much time between all the stuff I have been working on. It turned out ok though considering all that.

You will probably see it air on the Pro Tarpon Tournament that is on now. I believe it is on Sunshine network, World fishing network and Fox Sport.

With ICAST 2010 in Last Vegas then the DOA writer’s even in Stuart, Fl, I’ve been away for almost a week now. So today was another “catch up” day. Yep it never seems to end.

So while cleaning up the hard drive this evening deleting useless stuff I came across some video footage I shot while I was very bored apparently. But the video came out pretty nice. I just put it to some music and uploaded the HD video. It’s just a bunch of baiting swimming around for a minute but it’s actually kinda cool looking.

Speaking of video. If you got a chance to look at my video on the Minnkota Talon I put up 4 days ago its very plain and boring. I just shot it with my Kodak Playsport while I was over at ICAST last week. Well for whatever reason, Youtube sent me an email saying that it’s eligible for revenue sharing.

I guess they will put ads up around the video and I get to share the revenue. I’m assuming that’s how it works. So far the video has been viewed about 1200 times so I’m not retiring anytime soon from it. I’ll keep you up to date though.

Talked with Cavin from Colorblindmedia.com. He’s got some really good stuff lately. One of which is this video for Hogy Lures. They are in Key west tossing Hogy to Big Tarpon down in the Keys. They got some really nice footage of cool eats. With the keys water being clear they also got some excellent underwater footage as well.

While I was over in Las Vegas, at the ICAST 2010 show, I did a helicopter ride. All the people that said they wanted to go chickened out so I went alone. This was actually a good thing. Since I was alone they put me in the front seat!

I shot some video and stills using the Canon 7d while I was up there. Though the low light sensitivity was great(shot at 4000iso), you can tell that it did not have any kind if image stabilization. Also very visible is the jello effect from the camera using a cmos sensor. Anytime the camera had too much movement you can see the screen wiggling.

Though DSLR has come a long ways in the video field, Action shots it is not the best for. Tripod shots are awesome however.

A new product from Minnkota this year is the shallow water anchoring system called the Talon. This was one of the more interesting items I saw at CAST 2010. I think I only made 3 videos(using the Kodak Playsport) and this was one of them.

Some specs and features that I thought was worth mentioning.

I saw it on a guys’ boat a couple of months ago (testing it) but I did not get a chance to check it out. He wasn’t very informative and did not want me to take any photos so I have not mention it.

I would love to check it out in the Saltwater environment. So if anyone is in my area running one those and want to show me how it works, shoot me an email sam@saltyshores.com.

Official Press Release by Minnkota

Here is a quick video I shot with the Kodak Playsport. Besides adding the Saltyshores.com logo its unedited and I thought it turned out nicely for a $150 camera. In the interest faster turnover to web and portability, I didn’t bring my big cameras to the show this year. After last year, it was just too cumbersome and over kill for just a show interview. There wasn’t a shortage of guys running around with them though. I saw one guy with so much video gear strapped on, Halo over head body mount, batman utility vest and all, I don’t know how he stood up for the entire show. I mean he looked like those guys that does the “one man band” thing. I should have taken a photo.

The boys over at World Angling put together a quick video recently. They took Tom Bie, the editor of Drake Flyfishing Magazine fly fishing for Tarpon. Pretty cool stuff!

Adding a lens adapter to my Kodak Playsport to get super macro and a wide angle view. This adapter cost under $20 and works on cell phone cameras as well like Iphones and Droids. What you think of the test footage shot in 720p HD? I say it’s pretty darn good considering it’s attached to a $150.00 video camera.

The installation is pretty easy. It comes with a metal ring that has a sticky side. You stick the ring on the phone/Playsport.  The lens is magnetic so you can put it on and off whenever you need it. Pretty cool idea. A lens cap and lanyard is also included.

The lens adapter can be bought for $16.99 plus shipping at USBfever

This is the first installment of the Saltyshores series of “Boat Talk Confessions”. It’s basically a video full BS that may or may not have any thing to do with Fishing. When the bite is slow and we run out of things to talk about, crazy stuff pops up. I just flip on the camera and start recording. Sometimes it is funny and sometime it’s too over the top. However almost all of the time it is super entertaining.

You can’t always get epic fishing footage but you can always get a bunch of good guys having a good time talking smack.

This is the video I got down in Miami with Honson and David:

Subject matter covers:(Rated PG-13 to NC-17)

Cougars
Pumas
Justin Bieber
Watermelon Juice

They may or may not be related.. it is all random BS, no scripting.
