8/31/2004 Just putting the final edits on the Hurricane Charley Video. This video is just SWEET. Its almost 2 hours long and lots of action during the storm.
8/26/2004 Chasing Today.
Taking a break from the editing and chasing some storms. I’m in northern Iowa and chased some ok storms in Cerro Gordo County just south of Mason City Iowa. Here are some images from the storm. Going to check out the next round of storms moving in now.
8/26/2004 Almost done with the video for Hurricane Charley.
Yesterday I got the video footage from Mark and Jim and all I can say is WOW. This is the best hurricane footage of all time. Anyways, today I’ll be taking some time off from the editing project this afternoon to storm chase. This morning I’m out shooting video for The Weather Channel in Minneapolis
8/24/2004 PM, Out storm chasing
Out storm chasing. I got fed up with editing video all day long and looked at the radar and wow, there was a storm on the radar and I had a great excuse to get away from working at home… Its 11:40 pm now and I just fed the video into TWC and don’t feel like staying up and updating the site with all the photos tonight but I have a video on line of what was fed in.
8/24/2004 Out playing Weather Channel Photographer
Out playing Weather Channel Photographer this morning in Minneapolis. Its 5:00 AM, where the heck is the rain? Oh well, at least I don’t have to stand in the rain shooting video this morning.
8/23/2004 Working on the DVD
Today I have been working on the Punta Gorda, FL Hurricane Charley video project all day long.
The video project is going to be in several chapters for the DVD. Pre Hurricane Charley Storm Footage, Hurricane Charley Hits Punta Gorda, FL After Charley Damage Video In Punta Gorda and some storm review data section and bonus material. Right now I’m working on the Hurricane Charley hits Punta Gorda section and between all the video cameras we had working during the storm, I’m already up to 55 Minutes of action packed footage, and were not even to the eye wall yet.
This is going to be the ultimate hurricane chase video. My goal is to edit and produce what one could call “The Dark Side Of The Moon Of Storm Chasing Videos”.
8/22/2004 Out Shooting Video For The Weather Channel
8/22/2004 Out Shooting Video For The Weather Channel This Morning In Minneapolis. I was also out shooting some sweet lightning footage and learning the digital still camera some more. Its still tricky but I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Today I am also working on finishing up the Hurricane Charley, Punta Gorda, Fl, home video and DVD. This video is just rocking. It will take the viewer through the start of the chase to the end of the hurricane and damage aftermath like you were there with the BNVN storm chasing team. This Hurricane Charley video is unlike anything anyone else has since BNVN was the only professional chasers in Punta Gorda, Florida when the storm hit.
8/20/2004 Blog update
At home working on the Punta Gorda, Hurricane Charley Video and DVD project. This is going to be one heck of a video project when I’m done editing it all together.
8/19/2004 Brrrr August Chills
This morning was just TOO COLD for my tastes for August in Minneapolis. I was out playing Weather Channel Videographer again with temps in the Mid 40’s this morning. BRRRRRR COLD!!!!
Today I’m also working on the Punta Gorda, FL Hurricane Charley Video. We have a total of over seven hours of raw video from Hurricane Charley from before, during and after it hit Punta Gorda, Florida. The BNVN highlights video is looking more and more like a movie then a short highlights video.
8/18/2004 I was out playing Weather Channel Photographer this morning
I was out playing Weather Channel Photographer this morning with the chilly temps in Minneapolis again this morning and now I’m off to go shoot more video with the very windy weather we have this afternoon.
