GoPro and its Additions Pt 1

GoPro and its Additions Pt 1

I’ve had my GoPro since November and I’ve struggled with what to write. I mean it is a GoPro – what is there left to write. Within the first day of owning it I submerged it and chased my fish around his tank. That worked, as I expected. I attached it to my scooter with an Electra handlebar mount (I only purchased the tripod adapter). At some point Matt even put it on his head and recorded his hacky sacking. It is a GoPro – that’s what it does, and these are things you do with it. I did struggle with trying to use it for my walking pieces. The open back did allow me to thread my leg/arm strap through it sideways. But that is sideways and I don’t want to have vertical video syndrome. I wanted full, uncropped resolution. Which is what I’d have to resort to if I did settle for that atrocity. Then I found the headstrap (thus the a fore mentioned hacky sack video). Oh, the headstrap! Maybe a few tweaks and… GoPro read my mind, as they seem to do, and made the strap 100% detachable – probably for the sake of head sweat and not for attaching it to my arm. The empty plate allows me to feed my strap into the slots and position my camera horizontally to my subject o movement. Magic! I have an instant leg/arm cam. We will see how well it actually works once I start walking again.

Columbus Moving Image Art Review ( CMIAR ) 15 Spring 2013

The Columbus Moving Image Art Review (CMIAR) will host its 15th quarterly local moving image screening event on Friday June 14th from 8pm to 9:30pm at the Ohio State University’s Hagerty Hall Theater room 180. CMIAR is a screening event for artist residing in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. CMIAR was developed by two local moving image artists who wanted to create a way for the seventh art of film to return to the presentation medium of the cinema house. CMIAR 15 will be programmed with moving image work from Ohio State University Students, Staff and Alumni, CCAD Students and Faculty, and local Central Ohio filmmakers. Admission is free. Light food and drinks will be provided. CMIAR is sponsored by the OSU Film Studies Program and Nicolettecinemagraphics.
