Ok so we have an official photographer Will D on here and I was gonna knock out a youtube vid with a combination of his stills and my handheld cannon HD using cyberlink power director :-[
Not sure how comfortable you are bout mixing beer and your high performance electric equipment, you may be able to park it somewhere secure after the event?
PM me and Tube if you interested

Good video Jimmy and welcome aboard! Judging by your video locations you're based in the city centre, so it might be an idea to check out the capital brewers! We have a monthly brewday and hope to have a monthly workshop and a monthly beer tasting evening up and running soon.

If you're based elsewhere we have a few clubs around that might be interesting to you!

Welcome Jimmy,

Pretty good video, although not my choice of music.
Constructive criticism: that spliff seems to jump from yo to bro at each cut!

Welcome Jimmy

Awesome video!

I loved the background A-bomb tests!! Just what we need when a judge opens an overcarbed "Volcano" bottle.

BTW: I am the Will_D (the UNofficial photog for NHC and Malahide Rugby Club)

Guys, I think with a 5 or 10 min (pro video like the clip like Jimmy posted) video (cut with some great music) of the NHC comp we could go "Viral on U-Tube" (whatever that means I'm an old fart remember)

Must remove the braces keys of the key board 9,0,9,9,00 Yep they've gone

I will be there!!

I have a fairly old EOS 400D (only 10megP) but my lenses are fairly pro!!

People show me there I-Thing and say "Hey Old timer, I've got a 15mPixel Camera Phone". The old timer replies, "Ok, but my lens weighs about 2kg, it's good at f 2.8 and can resolve 2 razor blades at a 100 meters"

Camera phones "Ewkk"

Hi it starts at 10 and goes onto till 5, 16 judges and circa 200 entries most judging will be finished by lunchtime.
You are right we have no budget for this but copious amounts of quality beer!
Your input would be really appreciated.
