Here is a compilation some of my activities since May of this year. It's close to 12 minutes long and took me about 9 hours to create (so 45 minutes per edited minute of video) with Windows Movie Maker. This includes adding in music from my own collection (actually my wife's) for the first time as well as refining the video with captions, transitions, etc.

It's a far cry from the quality of a lot of the videos I've seen posted by other members here but I'm happy with it and hope you enjoy it.

I could use some constructive criticism as well. That is don't just type, "it sucks", please tell me what sucks about it and/or how to improve it.

 
Cool, you're a busy chap.

The only real criticism I have is your use of fast forwarding to much and the instability, e.g. the Bug show I couldn't make out the details of the cars etc. If you watch professional camera men, they always pan slowly, maybe you need a hand held gimbal too.

Musics ok, but its very personal, so not to everybody's taste, may be more instrumental music?

Do you use Go-pro footage only?
 
I'll be honest.....I really wanted to say, "It Sucks", but that's just because of the way I think. Example, if I were a dog:

However, I think you did a fine job and with a few minor tweaks - @Britboater had some good points, this will be a great treasure for you and your family and future generations to enjoy!

In fact, you've inspired me to something similar. I just made a reminder to dig out the Go Pro case and take it with us this weekend. And I'm actually going to charge the batteries and make sure I have plenty of memory.

Thanks and keep 'em coming. :cool:
 
Nice job! Plenty of great memories with your family. Makes me miss the West Coast.
 
Berryessa looks nice. I would say some of the aerial footage is sped up too much. Car show too. Good job overall
 
Your right...it sucks!! lol No really I enjoyed it. Sure looks like you guys had a great summer. I would just suggest limiting the fast forward but overall GREAT job!
