Thanks so much Dan! Hope you’re doing well!!

tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/the-growlers/acid-rain-bass-1180729 try this one man, its pretty simple just check out the root notes from the song and should be able to play it. its pretty easy.

@@girmonsproductions found this pretty soon after coming across this video. thank you so much regardless though!

@@jaz7885 no worries man! I actually play the opening notes with a hamer on E > G

Hey bud thanks so much! So I’ve got the sankyo xl 40 I think. Check the description for the exact model. My Auto zoom doesn’t work on it so I have to manually zoom, not an issue, I’ve paid £50 for it about 5 years ago. For the film I’ve used the Kodak 200T which worked pretty well with it, the camera has got an automatic orange filter in it so then the films becomes a 160ISO which is pretty good for the sunny Ibiza. And if you need to film in the evening or at night then you’ll have to accept some underexposed pictures. I would say also that try to combine some still compositions with some movement. But my style is that I prefer more still frames with the subject moving in there. And definitely hire a car when you’re there and explore the north side of the island. It’s less touristy and more hilly, really good beaches to see. I got a second video from Ibiza on my channel take a look if you want, it might give you an idea how awesome Ibiza is. All the best!

@@girmonsproductions thanks for the quick reply! I wanna do as you say with the still camera and moving objects, but mix it up a little, I've recently been really interested in vintage travel documentaries, and love the style. I'll look into the film etc like you mentioned. I have been to Ibiza before, but not on a family holiday for a long time, so should be an experience with a 1 year old! If i manage to get my hands on one of these i'll be over the moon. :) thanks again

Heya yes I got that little platform docking station that clips on the bottom of the camera. I haven’t tried an usb cable not sure if that will work. But I think you will need that docking station.

Only someone with no soul and romantic vision would think so, needs a loving hand to restore fully into a gorgeous country idyll.

Ya man! Cheers! I’ve got a few more videos coming from the jams. Sometimes we’d jam for 20 mins haah

You have described it so well! It was even more magical when I was inside and just looking around. Very cool place indeed.

Not remotely unusual in England. 25% of the UK's housing stock is over 100 years old, and much of that way over 100. Most people will live in an old property at some point in their life. My sister lived for 25 years in a 1600s farmhouse. My late partner grew up in a 1700s cottage. My brother has lived for decades in a Georgian (c.1800) property. I've lived in Victorian and Edwardian houses.

@@clairenoon4070 Fascinating and thank you for your reply. I am a flaming American and like most Americans I am mystified and transfixed by architecture and culture that are hundreds of years old. Things that are everyday to you. When I went to Cologne Germany and saw an authentic Roman mosaic floor that was 2000 years old I was literally spellbound. When I finally took a deep breath of air two hours of time had passed.

@@NelsonClick I grew up in a village. Our nearest city was Chester, 7 miles away. Chester was an important Roman city - 'Deva Victrix'. It has many Roman remains, including an almost complete circuit of city walls and an amphitheatre. That said; our village had older again remains - those of an Iron Age (c.250 BC) hillfort. Chester also has many subsequent accretions, including medieval, Norman, Tudor/Elizabethan, Georgian, Victorian and beyond. One of my favourite pubs in Chester - The Bear and Billet - is a black-and-white timbered 1660s building.

on the SONY website they say this MOVIE QUALITY HD ; FH (1920x1080i, 16Mbps) / HQ (9Mbps) / SP (7Mbps) / LP (5Mbps) , SD ; HQ (9Mbps) / SP (6Mbps) / LP (3Mbps) so just wanted to check which quality I've used and I've used the FH 1920x1080i 16Mbps. So looks like that the camera shots only 60i you can't select a different frame rate. So in Premiere Pro I've exported it as 25p clip. That's all. Nothing else.

​@@girmonsproductionsthanks! the image looks very clear in your video actually. when i export out in sony vegas it's a lot more murky. maybe vegas and premiere have different interpolation methods or something idk

@@zigfridsminets1872 that’s interesting, possibly yes. I’ve done no colour correction or Sharpening edit at all. the sr12 shoots nice video. Obviously it can’t be compared to the new mirror less cameras that shoot 400mbs data but on its own it looks lovely. The only thing that is stopping me using it more is the 40mm “wide” lens. Just not wide enough. I do have a wide adapter though that you can just un clip. I will actually shoot a proper video with it at some point. I have mainly been recording my band rehearsals, with the bigger battery and closed screen it can shoot for a loooong time. I think about 200 mins or maybe even 300 mins.

​@@girmonsproductionsi think the camcorder has its own charm to it with the footage compared to more modern solutions. the wide adapter is a must have for the camera imo. i've read that since this camera ir hard drive based, the loudness and the sound vibrations from say, a concert can make the camera unable to record at that time. has anything like that happened to you?

@@zigfridsminets1872 on the Sr7 when I was using it on the rehearsal either the sensor or something else didn’t like the vibrations and the footage looks very blurry. At the beginning it would be fine but after a while it would get blurry. However the sr12 must have something upgraded because I was about 8ft from the drummer and that problem has never happened to me so far.

Yes, I know.. it’s a Reversal film and the built in light meter is obviously not great

@@girmonsproductions That's why I love cameras the I can control it manual for this reason.

@@rothellecooke7425 well on that camera you can only control frames per second and aperture nothing else.

@@girmonsproductions That's all you need, I would try to open up the aperture a bit next time. I mostly keep a log on each shot of the subject and f-stop so I know what I did or need to fix. Still good job that you know the camera works. Keep shooting...

@@rothellecooke7425 yeaah this was just a test more or less. I’ve got a Bolex standard 8mm loaded to shoot. Hopefully that one will be better

pleasure! hope you found it useful

I would absolutely buy this! You can rent it out if you want. Let’s gooo

Amazing! Crewkerne is a nice place.

Did you get the SR7? I think the SR12 is a better option

Well I think that the SR12 is a better one if you can find it. Has a better screen and wide lens and the quality is better but still vintage like. If you go to my channel and find the videos with Sony SR7 next to them in the title you will see the videos that I shot with it.

Thank you very much for the critique! Honestly it’s hard to improve without any feedback. Virtually nobody gives it to me but I’m fine with that, but if any comes I truly appreciate it. So thank you ☺️ I could’ve put it to another level with the descriptions and captions. I had about 4 hours worth of footage and it’s so difficult to decide what would work with what. Editing is such a job! With every new video I’m learning 😎

It takes time and courage to be ruthless with your footage, Matt. This was a personal video and therefore precious. It did have a lot of YoyTube potential. Best wishes @@girmonsproductions

Just seen your description and found you went to Portinax! We were ther in the 1970s. Great beach!

@@theeccentricenglishman oh yeah Portinax and generally the north part of the island is my absolute favourite. I love the pine trees and the hills.
