 <br>&gt; In this video I’m explaining “Press the button… Now we’re filming…. Now<br>&gt; press it again… now we’re not filming…”. I think I went over it about 10<br>&gt; times.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; It’s really hard to get people to take video. In the video above, the first<br>&gt; guy I tried could not understand how to operate the video camera despite<br>&gt; explaining it over and over to him. Mind you were each had a plastic cup<br>&gt; full of rum.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; So anyways, now I’m wondering what sort of video quality I’d get in terms of<br>&gt; shakiness and staying on subject.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; I’ve also looked at making a camera stabilizer but that seems to need a<br>&gt; camera operator so I’m still left with the guerrilla recruitment of people<br>&gt; to take video.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Here’s another fine example. In this example, I asked the lady to try and<br>&gt; get the whole bike and myself into the picture. Not
 only did she fail to do<br>&gt; that, she managed to give me mouse ears.<br>&gt; <br>&gt;&nbsp; &lt;<a href="http://mambohead.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/100_5306.jpg" target="_blank">http://mambohead.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/100_5306.jpg</a>&gt;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; slainte mhath, RGB<br><br>--<br>Richard Guy Briggs&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  --&nbsp; ~\&nbsp; &nbsp; -- ~\&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;hpv.tricolour.net&gt;<br><span>&lt;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.TriColour.net">www.TriColour.net</a>&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; \___&nbsp;  o \@&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  @&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Ride yer bike!</span><br>Ottawa, ON, CANADA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --&nbsp; Lo_&gt;__M__\\/\%__\\/\%<br>Vote! --
