Merritt Island Scenic Driving Tour

This is a long driving video primarily made for a subscriber in the UK. I know it might be agonizingly long but I'm still trying to learn about compressing video clips. This video was a painful process as it was completely recorded three separate times, and this involves a 19 mile (30.58km) one-way drive each time plus two complete renderings, over the time frame of a week or more. I managed to condense it down to around 50 min so feel free to fast forward. I tried twice with my GoPro and then decided to use my new SONY FDR-AX100 because of its built in Active Stabilization.

I added my Polarizing filter which may have made it a little dark so I brightened it up slightly during editing. The short clip of the banana plants was recorded on a sunnier day with my HERO 4.

I compressed some of the parts several times out of pure guesswork on what percentages to use so it was strictly trial and error, and obviously more on the error side. I just got impatient and uploaded the video as you see it. I'll try and make them shorter so please bear with me as I am still struggling to learn. I definitely need to come up with a better 'story board'.

The island is approximately 41 miles (66km) long by approximately 5 miles (8km) wide at it's widest part. The Kennedy Space Center is actually located on the northern part of the Island. We are located between the City of Cocoa, on the mainland, and the City of Cocoa Beach on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.

Background music was graciously provided by Soundimage.org . I highly recommend visiting Eric's site and see the fantastic job he has done with creating and organizing audio clips that can be used in our YouTube videos.
