>>Folks,
>>
>>To add to the text update that Nanci posted about the WKPP's breakthrough
>>dive at Wakulla last weekend, I just finished uploading a few images from
>>MiniMee to the WKPP reports pages at gue.com.

>>I didn't have time with the tape to capture enough images to start a new
>>gallery, so I've included them on the main report page. The images include
>>George passing through the end of the siphon tunnel on the way to the old
>>end-of-the-line, a shot of JJ spooling out line in a big empty space, an a
>>shot of JJ holding out an empty exploration reel as he switches rebreather
>>drive gasses. When I have time to do a full gallery, there are priceless
>>shots of George holding up the Halcyon patch and of JJ tying off at the
end
>>of the line.
>>
>>[Several folks have been asking how we're getting such clean video grabs.
I
>>use a Sony DV camera to run digital video into a PowerBook's firewire
port,
>>then use Final Cut Pro to digitize segments, export the frames as
>non-square
>>pixel png files through QuickTime, and then resize and clean them up in
>>Photoshop. If I don't have the time to digitize segments, I use Digital
>>Origin's PhotoDV to bring frames directly into Photoshop. Both yield the
>>same quality result; PhotoDV is much quicker to use, but it is easier to
>get
>>a frame by frame selection with FCP. I used the same techniques for the
>>dirQuest Britannic footage.]
