A couple of days ago, I saw a video that inspired me. It was on Just A Colorado Gal’s blog and it was a video of Heather’s experience in the Warrior Dash. It was well done, great clarity and color, and considering she was running, jumping, and climbing, not to mention sloshing through mud, there was very little shake. It was beautifully edited by a friend, and it was an all around excellent video that really made you feel like you were there.
Her great video was taken with a Go Pro, an awesome little camera that you can mount on your body, helmet, handlebars, dashboard, wherever, and take fabulous, in the moment pictures and videos.
As I said, I was inspired. Of course, I don’t have a Go Pro, so I strapped my Iphone to my arm, turned on the video camera, and went for a run. The results were, um, uninspiring.
(I know this is bad. You won’t hurt my feelings by telling me so.)
I really need a Go Pro.
This inspired me too.

Do you have a Go Pro? Aren’t they cool? Do you ever try to video while you’re actively participating in an event?
It was a great video! I am always looking at those cameras thinking how much fun they could be. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Go Pro looks like an awesome camera! I’ve never made a video while participating, but I like the idea of it.

I know! It looks very cool. I’ve had some friends who were cyclists who videoed their rides (don’t know if they used the Go Pro), but Heather’s video really shows what you can do with it.

Thanks for the love! I was lucky enough to receive my GoPro from Columbia, but I seriously LOVE it. Works so well for outdoor adventure-type sports. If you can swing it, I’d definitely take the plunge!
You’re welcome. I loved your video Like I said, it inspired me, not to do a Warrior dash, though that looks fun too, but to create action video. I have so many things on my “I want” list right now, not sure if it will happen in the near future, but a girl can dream, can’t she?

Yes, you need a gopro!
I did feel like I was running with you enjoying the morning sun.
I’ve seen some really cool videos and am motivated to try to make my own!

Thank you. It was a pretty morning, the only saving grace of my video. That and my dog

We ALL need a GoPro. Wouldn’t it ever be fun? I think you made a valiant effort though!

You are too kind. Really. Now I am on a quest to somehow get a GoPro.

Your video wasn’t THAT bad girl! But I agree that the GoPro looks super cool!!!

Wow, some of my commenters are such liars! Kidding! Thanks, but think how awesome it could have been. (I’ve got a birthday in a couple months. When my hubby asks me what I want, I’m directing him here!)

I loved acoloradogirl’s video! And yes, I need a Go-Pro too! Imagine video-taping step class with one strapped to your head!

I think that would be great (not sure the students would agree
). I can think of so many uses, all of which would make great blog material.
