bigbear_98 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) It took me forever to figure out how to do this but I think it will really help me figure out what makes a GM faster. Edited February 13, 2011 by bigbear_98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I assume the GM is on the left and the A-class is on the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-charlie Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm sure you've gone over this video a bunch of times, one obvious thing I noticed was stage execution. GM takes the first target array on the left, stays to the left for the next target array and then transitions to the right array. You transitioned from left to right and back to left. This seems to be a point where he really starts to pull ahead of you. Great learning technique tho by splitting the screen, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpmb Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That is a very good way of making comparisons. You really do get to see the differences that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we both shot, I asked him how he came to the plan he used. He said there were less transitions, That simple. I am figuring out I over think stages. That is a very good way of making comparisons. You really do get to see the differences that way. Yeah. It took foreeever to get the start buzzer the same. Of course I'm not a genius on the compiano.

Supermoto Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I make the comparison videos often, the easiest way is to use the audio to line up the beep. Its a great way to see where you are losing time, especially if you run it slow motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I recognized that stage and looked up the scores, you guys shot it twice as fast as i did. Good shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 that split screen is a cool idea. ive done that a few times (compare videos, not the split screen) with another shooter in my division a couple levels up. really makes it obvious where Im lacking and where I can pick up time.

Matrix68 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Where was this shot at? I have been shooting at ARC and BOTW...this one I didn't recognize. Would love to find a third location to shoot..trying to get more trigger time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausshooter Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That's a really cool video. I like that split screen for sure. The Waco boys run a great match! They have some great shooters that come down from Dallas, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I believe match is this coming weekend, if its not to wet. Here is their web site for more info. http://www.ctrp-ipsc.org/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix68 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Cool...thanks for the information. Might need to make plans to attend one soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Santiago Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 What I see is Dave has constant fluid motion from through the first 2 arrays and into the targets on the right. He shot the leftmost target first and continued moving to the second array. It looks like you stopped in the first array and shot it right to left before transitioning to the target(s) on the right hand side. Great learning video!! Thanks!

bigbear_98 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Transitions, Transitions, Transitions. Another GM shooter that watched it said David is smooooth and I looked lazy on the transitions. I agree. I need to speed it up and take a shorter route between targets. Going right left right was not the best way. The funny thing is I feel like I can drive a rifle like a corvette between targets but I think I get scared with a pistol.

Chris Keen Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Here's another cool way to learn from videoing a couple different shooters. While the video images are not quite as clear as the "side by side" method, the outcome is still just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the video images are not quite as clear as the "side by side" method, the outcome is still just as good. I tried it that way on my first attempt as seen below. I couldn't figure out how to keep the videos from fading out at the start and finish and couldn't make the sound come through. Like I said I am not a genius with the compiano.

Chris Keen Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The first problem is you HAVE to have similar camera angles, or it wont look good at all. I used a tripod. But the issue of sound / video fade in is something I can't really help you with, sorry. I'm not familiar with that software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robot Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Cool idea! I did a side by side video too after seeing yours, came out pretty well I think. Thanks for sharing the idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good video. I bet it took a long time to get the buzzer the same on all the stages like that. I think there is something wrong with your gun. It looked like you had to take it apart to fix it about every 6 shots?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robot Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 LOL Classic! J/K Come on! that was funny! I don't care who you are! hahaha damn that was a good one! It didn't take too long to sync the audio, I used Adobe Premiere, and you can visually see the sound wave for the BEEP on the two separate video tracks, all you have to do is to align the two, test it and do some minor calibration and you're done. Pretty easy. I imagine it would be difficult to do with software like iMovie or Live Movie Maker as they're designed to be simple moviemaking software.
