If you have any suggestions, please do let me know. I can't guarantee to fix everything all at once, but it's useful to get some ideas. We've been having some problems with the camera getting slightly out of focus. I won't bore anyone with the details, but it's really irritated me and I intend to fix it. We also just started using a new microphone, which seems to improve the sound slightly. Perhaps more importantly, it means the lapel microphone is no longer necessary -- which speeds up my editing workflow a lot. ...for now. One thing I like about the articles is the left-hand/right-hand switch. I've been planning to bring this feature to the videos too. It's not going to happen right away, but I've been laying the groundwork.
I will just point out that for those of you who have purchased the online Peter Rasmussen coaching program from Badmintonlife, you can now watch the "inverted" videos as well - so its all covered with right handed demonstrations. Perhaps this would be a quick fix for you Gollum? (probably some strange looking things regarding "ticks" being inverted - how strange!).
It's not quite a "quick fix", but I've been planning something like this for a while. It will likely involve encoding the videos twice, rather than applying a programmatic mirroring filter in the player (which would lead to the kind of problems you mention). On the whole I've decided to stop using "left" and "right" and favour "non-racket" and "racket", for this reason. However, there are some times when that just sounds too confusing and unnatural. I'll need to film these sections twice -- but hopefully I can be smart about limiting how much needs to be re-filmed. So essentially: yes, that's something I intend to do.
Sorry I never went back to you, a PM is on its way Still I don't want to stress you, with my crazy detailed views, as you already are doing a good and detailed job with the material as it is MSeeley: - thanks for info on Peter Rasmussen online stuff...
I subscribed to Lee's videos and I think theyre great. Would love to subscribe to Gollum's videos, but dont have no credit card and paypal not working yet . I agree that at a reasonable price is needed to run this kind of website. The amount of voluntarily donated money wouldnt nearly equal the income from subscription fees. Gollum and Lee charge a very little price imo.
Badminton Bible hasn't had a update for several months, I was thinking of joining. Not sure if the guy is still around?
