    I see three so far, that means it will be a good race. There is still time for more videos to get in on the fun. Need help just ask we have some experts here ready to help.

    I'm amazed that I was able to figure out how to shorten mine, with success even!
    But, at restricted speed, because of street running, I'm not surprised that it took so long!
    Looking forward to the number of entries though.

    You should also play around with film speed. Increasing the speed of the shot by 2x will make the train look like it's going faster. Of course that will also magnify any camera movement and people will look like they're sprinting everywhere, birds will look like missiles, tree leaves and grass blowing in the wind will look weird. But it's fun to play around with stuff like that. :)

    BigSteam,

    For me right now it says your video is private and that I do not have permission to view.

    Is this because you set the privacy, or am I just seeing for the first time this end of what is shown when you post links to the uploaded but unconverted video?

    Thanks

    Yep, I can see it now. Another great video.

    Be sure to join the group for Trainboarders on Vimeo to share your videos there. ;-)

    I guess while I'm posting, I'll announce for Mr. Train the LAST CALL for entries! Deadline is TONIGHT at 10pm Pacific Standard Time. If you would like to make an entry but are having trouble, I am available NOW to help out, but I can not help if you do not ask for it.

    Oops wrong label in poll

    Boy it was a good thing my type-o was on my own video title in the poll.:mhissyfit: It should read "CSX Train" not 'coal train' That's what I get for trying to hurry before work started. :tb-wacky:
    I don't see any way to edit a poll name so every one will have to forgive me again!

    Since the video contests ended so close to what would be the start of the next photo contest, we have decided to let the excitement cool down a bit. Sorry, no photo contest this weekend. We'll be back next weekend with a special edition. I can hardly contain my self. But I will.

    While we're waiting, you're always free to VOTE. :smile: Please view ALL entries first. We want to give every entry a chance.

    Mystere and Mr. Train
