Video Analysis Path of Action - Jumping




I had quite a bit of difficulty in getting the Tracker video clip to save. In fact, I was not able to save the file during the conversion to Quicktime (.mov) format. I have posted what I was able to do.
Here is the clip of the single jump without the tracking nodes.

Tracker Video Analysis of Falling



It was weird. It seemed like every third frame the video camera repeated a frame. Boo.
Does anyone have the knowledge or understanding of this matter to unlock its mystery?

Drop Reference 1

I was operating for a time under the misconception that my necessary involvement was being the camera operator. After filming two drops, loading the files to my computer, then checking the examples of prior drop footage online, I concluded that my role was rather to have been that of the the subject IN the video footage, thereby proving my involvement. I have consequently re-shot the drops –this time my shoe– in the manner of the video examples.

mini PORTFOLIO

My name is Christopher William Gruenholz. Gruenholz is of German origin (Grünholz) and means "green wood."
I hail from what was once the ranch country of the north, from the shadows of the devil's mountain, a little city called "Concord." However, I was born and have most of my golden childhood memories in Oakland. How I love the scent of Eucalyptus and Bay Laurel, and the damp redwood forests of the San Francisco Bay Area's hills and mountains!
Ah, and the old, weather-beaten and pitted cement sidewalks and architectural remnants of two generations ago...

I am currently a Graphic Design major working on my last handful of classes to graduate.
I'll get my little BA, and then, it's OFF TO DO SOMETHING AMAZING!
I'm not sure what it is yet, but it will most definitely be amazing.
Yup.

I love trees, sandcastles, granite, fog, kites, old lamp posts, wood grain and all decorative woodwork, duct tape, Innova SuperNova frisbees, baking, sewing, and etymology.
I have been journaling my dreams since the third grade (the dreams I can remember after waking) and am working on transposing those images from my memory files and written files to pictoral and sculptural representations.



I would like to take this moment to mention something that is very important to my heart.
PLAYDOUGH!
