This is yet another event that raised money for the Hospital via a jumper in the upcoming Polar Bear Dip..

75 people played. Everyone had a blast.. I Couldn’t tell ya who won, but I am sure someone will comment and let everyone know.

if your computer can handle it try hitting the full screen button on the HD Version of the video. It looks pretty damn sweet !

HD Quality – High Bandwidth Version

Regarding the production of this video:

Should anyone care or understand the video didn’t totally come out how I wanted it to. Some areas got messed up during editing and I also found myself running out of good footage to use. To give you an idea of how long something like this takes I started editing this project at 6 pm last night and I stayed up till 5:30 am before I was done. I was having a lot of trouble during the final rendering stage. The project was very complex and it was crashing the system. I wasted a good 4-5 hours just dealing with the stupid rendering issues. Imagine watching something process for an hour only to keep failing over and over at 50%. It’s partially because working with Highly Compressed AVCHD 1920x 1080 HD Camera footage is not always a friendly process especially when you are speeding up and reversing time over and over.. and of course keeping everything HD the whole time. The final output for the HD version of the video is 720p which is (1280×720 25 fps).
