More Rain. Higher James. Better Video.

Posted by: Jonathan – Mar 22, 2011

Kayaking enthusiast John Nestler takes to the James again with HD cameras in hand….

The James River flooded in Richmond, VA so I borrowed a Sony HDR-FX7 to capture some of the river. I mixed in some Go Pro footage of kayaking the river a little earlier in the week. At the suggestion of my Digital Video teacher, I kept some of the Go Pro audio. Hopefully it enriches the viewing experience.

I heard The Show Goes On, the new Lupe Fiasco song, a couple days ago for the first time and I knew I wanted to use it in my next kayaking video.

Feel free to give constructive criticism, as I'm working to make these videos appeal to non-kayakers as well.
Also, thanks to "Pinky Cyclist" for the Blackberry footage.
