How to Create a good Video of your Day out Greenlaning
I’ve been making videos of green laning and off-roading for a while now and they seemed to be quite popular and have had some good comments from you guys, which is always really nice.

Anyway, a few people have been asking about the kit I use to make these films and suggested I do a bit of a ‘How to’ video.

So here goes. It is a bit of a first for me but hopefully it will help people who are interested in doing something similar, improve how they film off roading without costing a fortune!

The film covers cameras, camera mounts and gives a few hints and tips. If its a help be sure to ‘Like’ the video and subscribe to my youtube channel or as I've never done this kind of video before, if its rubbish tell me why.

Good tips and I'm loving the camera mount, thanks for your help.

Andy.

In true Land Rover style, I try to do it on a budget so I go for free products wherever I can.

I alternate a bit between imovie on an ipad and movie maker on windows. I've found there are a lot of quality effects you can add to small clips on ipad and then email them back to windows for inclusion in movie maker. If you look at my youtube channel the video I did in Bala recently (part 1) shows a bit where I make the action run in reverse, which was a freebie ipad app.

Basically though if you look at iphone or ipad imovie, any beginner can make something that looks impressive with minimum knowledge.

I enjoy doing it, so if anyone ever wants some raw footage editing (as long as the floodgates don't open) I'm always happy to make a clip for people!

Great, thanks. I've got an iPad so will have a go with those tools.

I just started playing with some time lapse apps on my Android phone, they are not bad. I have a Delkin mount and will try using that for some laning videos - from inside the windscreen... Shocked

cheers

Good stuff, also saw an app called GeoCam (Android), similar thing with geo data overlaid on the video or photo.

Also, just signed up on the Low Rangers forum, so will try and get out sometime when I've finshed puting my 90 back together...just watched the Bala videos... Thumbs Up

cheers
