Ok, for me this is just your best Trail Running Video. Maybe the mix of Gopro, Insta360, drone and also Slowmotion footages and your color grading...so i'm colorblind but i like it very much 😅. ...Enjoyed all the way. And congratulation for the race, not an easy one especially with these weather conditions...winter is coming 😀. "Bien joué Stephen 👍" would i say here 😉. And for all the work you put into your channel, you just won a new Member.

@StephenJReid Год назад

Merci Beaucoup! 🙂 I agree I'm really pleased with how it came out. It helped that I spent a lot more time than usually editing it. At least 20hours in the edit 😴 There's a lot of footage I had to cut as well as it was just going to be too long, could easily have been over 20-25mins. I sometimes start my colour grading by removing all the colour and just starting with the contrast and then add the colour back in. Winter is definitely coming, I can feel a chill in the air now. Thanks so much for becoming a channel member! Means a lot to have people supporting the channel 🙂 Make sure and have a look back over some of the members only videos. Peut-être qu'un jour j'irai à Chamonix pour l'UTMB. Même juste pour une course plus courte!

@JeffPelletier Год назад

Love it! The FPV drone shots really made this special. I’m guessing that means you had to hike back up a second time 😉

Thanks Jeff and yes! The next day I had to hike back up about 900m (very slowly) and shoot drone footage, was out 6hours. Actually used two drone the FPV for those more dynamic shots and then the Mini 3 Pro for some other shots. Earlier in the week I shot drone in the valley on the far side as well as the drone footage of the first big descent. So much for a rest before a race 🤣 You ever run in Scotland or Ireland?

Hey Steve, have you ever considered running with poles, definitely help with the climbs (and the downs) as well as stream crossing etc. Might save your ankle :) I know it's difficult though juggling the GoPro with poles however.

@StephenJReid Год назад

I sometimes use poles when I’m getting back into training so I can do more miles. Also often use them when I’m carrying packs if I’m fast packing or camping to try and save my knees. But never raced with them, they making filming very tricky at the same time. Interestingly very few runners in Ireland seem to use them at all. Especially in non-ultra length races. Interestingly the winner of the Ben Nevis ultra wasn’t using poles. Dunno how his knees are in one piece!

@digiklump Год назад

Another really good video, The mix between the landscape perspective and the up-close competition really tells the story well. In the video you do not speak to the competitive side but I have to ask, How do you run, and record all that b-roll in the same race? I would think you would be crossing the finish line well after dark. Also the mix between the GoPro footage and the insta360 One x2 is really good. That 360 really gives an additional perspective that the GoPro could not get. I go for a walk in my neighborhood (think concrete) with camera and then watch your opus and I am embarrassed. lol

@StephenJReid Год назад

Thanks! For me in a race like this for the first time I don't have any other goal other than to give a solid effort and finish. So my focus is on making the best video I can while still steady pushing. I finished in 7:22, which was 488 out of 749, so happy with that. The last runners did finish in the dark at nearly 11hours, although they had been officially timed out at that stage. If I did it again I would be chasing a better time and would be a bit more competitive. The drone footage was either shot in advance or the following day where I hiked back up again! During the race I have to decide what I will and won't shoot and which camera will be best for it. Remember out of a 7+ hour race you only got to actually see about 15mins of it. Been making running videos for 4years now so I've gotten better at balancing it all. Takes time.

Much gruel Kev. Fancy giving it a go?

@CotswoldTrailRunner Год назад

Epic! Loved it! Well done. What an adventure, these events are never rally 'races' they're experiences. Very well documented. Did you get the drone shots another time? (assuming you didn't take the drone with you as well)!

@StephenJReid Год назад

Thanks! Yeah I rarely view an event like this as a race, especially if it’s the first time I’ve been on the route. Yeah some drone footage was from a few days before the race and some was from the day after. Had to hike back up 900m on sore legs 😵

@Craig-MItchell Год назад

Mighty 👏🏼

Thanks! Make you want to give it a go?

@@StephenJReid I'd love too Stephen, though my knees would be in bits for a year or so afterwards 🙁 I can certainly walk it though, and I'd enjoy that for sure 😎

@StephenJReid Год назад

Still an epic hike. I’d like to go back and take my time around it some time.

@Craig-MItchell Год назад

@@StephenJReid You could spend a while exploring and taking in the views in that area of Scotland. Lots of photo / drone opportunities 😉

@@StephenJReid now....... the highest hill I have around my house in the nederlands is a speed bump.... so, I dont think I will make it to one of the tops.....

That was epic. I see now why you feel the way you do now. UTMB next year?

Haha don't think I'm quite ready for that. haven't decided about next year yet, thinking about a few things

That ridge is a massive noppe

@StephenJReid Год назад

Haha yeah it was a bit scary, although the camera makes it look worse than it was.

@michaelcultra4496 Год назад

Absolutely fantastic Stephen! How did it compare to mourne skyline?

@StephenJReid Год назад

Hmm good question. I was more exhausted at the end of this than I was at Skyline, didn't even want talk to anyone. I think the battering from the wet and cold played a part in that. Terrain is more difficult, there's no real scrambling in the Mournes or narrow ridges. This felt more dangerous. Although I think maybe I enjoyed it more. But that might partly be because it was all new. hard to say! Thinking of giving it a go?

Tough.... Were you happy with the shoes?

@StephenJReid Год назад

Thanks Alan, would you give it a go? Shoes mostly worked well, same shoes I've done all my big Mournes races in. A bit more grip on the boggy muddy sections would have been nice though.
