It has been a long time since I posted to this blog. Many things in life have happened to push karting the background.
However, I have have been working on transferring our family 8mm films to digital form. Nearly two years ago I happened upon this video ( http://vimeo.com/20950590 ) showing how to project the images directly onto the chip of a DSLR camera.
I created a similar set-up. The videos below are a part of the project. The results are not perfect as there is a flicker which I could not totally work around. I hope to make it better in the future.
Most of the video was shot by my father, Lyle Giles, and feature other karters, Pete Evans and Larry Goie from the Indy Kart Club. Thankfully, my mother, Wanda Giles, also controlled the camera some so we can see Dad racing and flagging.
You can watch the videos on this page, but I STRONGLY suggest clicking on the Youtube icon and watching it there. If your connection is fast enough, change the resolution 720HD video.
I hope you enjoy the videos!
