Theo Verelst Film Page
NOTE: This page is from years
ago, in the meanwhile I've advanced into the High Definition filming art, which
I really like and recomend. Some examples are here, and I've put varying
materials up on my diary pages.
Of course these videos are still relevant and well made.
As in: that I make the films and put them for free download on this
page.
I made a few thus far, for which I had some resources I could use
to make reasonably good video material, even suitable for broadcast,
but
of course even with DSL one cannot expect to get real crisp or DVD
quality
video under several megabits per second bandwidth.
Nevertheless the low bitrates, suitable for phone modems, give a film
and sound impression and mostly a general idea of the material, and
some
of the 'hard info', and the higher rates, the double ISDN direct upload
capacity of this server, and the higher rate like current adsl rates
and
still some higher for quality downloads give films at least enough
space
to breathe a bit.
For higher quality viewing, send a mail to theover@tiscali.nl for a CD with
film(s) in high quality (PAL AVI 720x576 30 fps with some compression
based on length). I decided to charge 10 euros per CD normally.
I made more video pieces and recordings (some with cheap webcam) which
do not end up on this page, this is for lets say produced material.
Right click on the file with bandwidth of choice, select 'save link'
and download.
Alternatively, rigth-click in exporer or netscape, chose 'copy
loink location', go to the appropriate viewer program (realplayer or
media player or others), select 'Open Url' from the File menu, paste in
the URL (rigth click paste, or control-v or as that is on your system)
and press enter or click OK

Conrad Netherlands Model Day
Update: june 17 2003
Where there was a fair with demonstrations of all kinds of models:
train, car, helicopter. Conrad was
the organiser of those demonstrations, and had free coffee in their
store, which is the only one in holland.
I made a 3 minute impression threw in some (german, it is just over the
border) countryside images, made the music myself (piano), and it looks
good.
