As I mentioned in many of my previous journal entries one of the goals of the trip was to document it through video clips and photographs. I put a huge effort into setting up the GoPro camera on the bike, charging batteries at night, downloading images to flash drives, etc. It was a ton of work and ultimately I came home with over 42,000 photographs and movies to sort through.
Over the course of the winter I sifted through the pictures and began to stitch together short clips based on the geography and timing. Some parts I sped up if they were very long straight sections, others I slowed down if the terrain was interesting. It was a very time consuming process because the length of the video quickly got out of hand if I made the speed go to slow. For example at a 1x speed the original video was over an hour long. So the short clips got stitched into days and the days got stitched into weeks. After some Movie Maker Magic I think I created something that tells the story of the trip as much as you can in 10 minutes. Obviously it can't really recreate the trip but it gives you a little taste. Enjoy!
