stringing video failures

***kwun*** · 04-10-2011, 03:43 AM

just want to vent some frustrations.

for 4 times, i have tried to make a video of my stringing to share with everyone, but have ended up in failure.

first time, i was stringing ZM62, the video went well until the string snapped on the first cross pull.

second time, i complete the stringing but the video cam decided to stop recording mid way without any warning.

third time, i completed the video but the focus was hunting.

now tonight, i tried it for the 4th time. guess what? i didn't place the camera properly and my head was obstructing the view. but at least i can see if my hairdresser was right about my hair thinning at the top.

what the heck. i have to try the 5th time. hopefully this time it will work out the way it should.

You've probably saved me four takes on the video I'm planning - cheers

success!!

5th time is the charm. there are little hiccups here and there but it is pretty acceptable. in full HD glory as well. will have to spiff it up and then upload it to share with you all.

Waiting for your upload.

I started making a video, but I was filming on my phone and it has a good camera quality, each time I tried to film it and comment I was getting phone calls... I tried 3 times and then took it as a sign that I shouldn't make a video.

Can't wait to see it.

Maybe I can learn how to string from watching you

will for sure share. it is a 28mins string job. i am wondering how to process it without boring everyone to death.

When you threw in the ''thinning hair at the top'' is when we knew it isn't going to be a boring process

You were stringing under 30 mins at 4am in the morning!

Now that's passion for the sport!

Great view of the stringing. Can't wait to see the whole video

It is difficult to wait to see the full video. Pl. upload full version ASAP.

Not sure if you want to sit there for the whole 28 minutes!

I'm sure kwun is editing +/- speeding up the video in sections, or else it'll be like waiting for the kettle to boil...

that's kinda my thoughts too. i am sure you guys love to admire my fingers and hands, and the occasional bald spot that invades the video frame. but sooner or later that will grow old.
