Re: [Avid-L2] let the flaming begin

The GoPro (in general) could really benefit with a less fisheye lens for
sure.

I liked the video overall, although I too may have cut it a little faster
at times.

I've long harboured the desire to put GoPro cameras on musical instruments
for a music video. I even talked to a drummer about it once who was
convinced he could drum reasonable well with a GoPro attached to one of his
sticks. It would have been a very different video but I couldn't help but
watch this thinking "wow, I wonder how it would look with a POV shot from
the end of the bow?" for example :)
