Voortrekker monument, Pretoria, Transvaal (South Africa)

A video I shot during my visit to the Voortrekker monument in Pretoria. I used a Canon HV-20. As you can see, I am not an experienced filmer, but atleast I learned alot now. I see I moved way too fast sometimes, and I should try to get myself stable before I start filming.

I used the 25P mode. The video is uploaded in 1280×720 WMV, with 3mbit/s average bitrate, and a peak bitrate of 5mbit/s. The bitrate is sometimes too low I see, but the encoding took so long that I can’t be bothered to re-encode it again untill something has been changed to the video ;).

I hope I can find a way to correct my numerous mistakes in the video editor (Adobe premiere).

The music I used:

1. Transvaalse Volkslied (National anthem of the Transvaal)
2. Vrystaatse Volkslied (National anthem of the Orange Free State)
3. Pierre Retief – Achterkant die Blouberge
4. Van Wyk Broers – Ou Rypeerd

Enjoy, and please overlook my sometimes bad camerawork a bit ;).
