Excellent video! Kids love skiing and its a big regret that I didnt start skiing until my mid twenties. My boy is 8 and loves it. 22 sleeps left til Belle Plagne!! :)

What a lovely video! :D

It's so nice to see the family out enjoying themselves on the ski slopes, although it did make me feel a bit jealous ...

And it was so clever of you to video lots of different things and cut and stitch it all together.

It looks like you had a great time :D

And don't worry about the music - those who don't like music can always turn it off.

Good stuff. I keep meaning to edit together our recent video footage. Just need some spare time. I might accompany it with some classic 1980's goth music for a change.....

Such a nice film. Everything looking lovely, and I am so jealous. I wish I could have taken my family skiing when they were young, and I wish I could now take my grandchildren - but alas!

Hi Scarletgirl - I think Superdevoluy, as it says in the video title, unlikely as it sounds, actually IS a ski resort in France, not that I've ever been there.

Nice video :) . What editing software did you use?
I'm trying to get on with Vegas pro 10 but it's a massive learning curve at the moment,I think my pc could do with an upgrade as well as it took 40 minutes to render a 3 minute black and white video .

Usually other peoples holiday pictures or videos can be amongst the most boring things on earth, but I loved this vid, doesn't it make you want to go back!

Enjoy the kids while they're young, great age.

I have to confess that the bit that made me really laugh was when whoever it was in the ski boots fell over on that plank! :lol:

I bet the kids laughed as well :D

But I liked the whole video - it was really entertaining and very well put together :thumbup:

Lovely video - great to see a whole family skiing together. It was interesting to see the area again went to La Joue du Loup 3 years ago and had a fantastic time. We used to enjoy skiing over to Superdevouloy.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I think the key to making it interesting is constantly changing the perspective the type of thing that you are doing etc. I know I get bored watching helmet cam footage if it is just from the helmet. The wife has already suggested some new perspectives for next year.

I use power director 8 it is very easy to use. for the proper effects e.g. duplicating the skieer I used Adobe After Effects which can do absolutely anything but is fairly difficult to use.

Superdevoluy is awesome (don't tell everyone dont want to spoil the hidden gem)and super cheap. There are loads of ski touring opportunities and saw some great hike to ride areas just across the valley. It is quite low at 1500m start but seems to hold the snoow fairly well.

Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years ago when the instructor told me to walk up the side of the dry slope (off the edge of the mat I mean) in my ski boots before I put my skis on. It was raining slightly and the rubbery mat underneath was all slippery and I went over Bang! I had a really sore backside for about 3 weeks - reckon I damaged my coccyx or something :lol:

AND I looked really stupid :oops:

Well done for being brave enough to put a video up of yourself looking, well you know, like me, - excellent slapstick comedy :lol:

It was described as a hidden gem when we went. I had to go at Feb half term have been twice to La joue and each time there were only us and a couple of other british there - not crowded either not a large area and very quiet in La Joue but some Lovely runs from the easy wide long green down to Devoluy to the black 'La Mur' but...
Ssshhhh Lets keep it quiet

I borrowed a go-pro for the last week to play with. I'll post some video soon, but what I've found is that a 5 foot collapsible hiking pole not only make the the normal pole video better but allows the camera to get much closer to the action when videoing others.
