Nice Stuff, I am guessing that was from the recent backyard jam?
Slow mo looks great.
How many P2 cards did you bring with you to shoot the event.
I shoot the Toronto Metro Jam every year and usally shoot about
3 hours plus of footage a day for three days.
Not sure if I should use a firestore? or rent a bunch of P2 cards?
 
Thanks for the comments guys,
I used one 4 gig card and a very small 10" laptop for dumping with 100 gig HD.
For what I wanted it was fine, working with 2 4 gig cards would have been better
but for what I was doing it worked fine.
I knew I would only be shooting 50pn
so thats about 8 mins per card and only 4-5 mins per dump.
The main reason I was filming was to test out how well I could keep focus without using a hd monitor.
As it happens the focus assit and distance markers worked out fine and about 98% of
shots are sharp and usable. Much better than I was ecpecting given the run and gun
shooting style.
If I were you a firestore would be nice and easy but perhaps a little cumbersome/delicate.
A small laptop with pcmcia 2-3 4 gig cards and perhaps a dumping assitant is fool prof every time :)

I kept praying for one of 'em to actually land something...but the lack of success certainly worked with the track. I hope the one guy was wearing a cup.
