Fort's Toyota took a couple trucks and a handheld Kodak camera out to Colorado, and this is the result!
The FJ Summit is an incredibly organized event. We had some "n00bs" and veterans in our group, and the organizers were ready for all of us. The trail leaders we had everyday were also excellent.
The video is amateur, no doubt. I think you will notice that it gets better daily. Day 1 was a rough ride, and we did a lot of filming from inside the car. Day 2 and 3 we get a lot more footage outside the vehicle. (If you have dizziness issues after watching this, we are not responsible!) The videos were taken for personal use, but after seeing it when we got home, it looked good enough to share. We did try the YouTube stabilization on the first run with this video... It turned out horrible!!! Not a good match for a long video like this.
If you check my other videos, you will see the long form video with all the footage. It runs about 30 minutes longer.
Next year... We hope to do this all again. Maybe we will have a better camera in tow along with a GoPro.
Look for a wrap up video that Eric did on the 4Runner to come out later.
Music in the video is Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. I wanted something southwestern and an indie artist. They are less likely to sue me for a video that will get a couple hundred views! Roger seemed to fit the bill. Thanks!
