Post Hawaii Vacation Follow-up

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

When we took the helicopter ride around Mauai, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters films your trip via 5 camera's spread around the helicopter.  Then for a small price you can buy the DVD of your flight ... which, of course, Tina insisted we do.  A lot of the video doesn't end up being very good due to rain getting on the camera lenses, sun reflections, and other sorts of distortions.  As such, I edited it down quite a bit and managed to reduce a 1 hour video down to 24 minutes of mostly good footage.  Ofcourse to upload it onto the blog, I also had to cut the resolution down a bit so it would upload in less than 3 days.
 
When you're in the helicopter, you're wearing headphones so you can hear the pilot.  At the same time, they're actually playing music into them appropriate for where you are in the journey.  The sound you hear on this video is the actual sounds we were hearing through our headsets during the trip.


Mahalo again for following this blog.
