Ok, so Dave, LPL, myself, and a couple others were out with our little digital camcorders Sunday to try a little experiment. The experiment was, can we float our camera high into the air, and then actually retrieve the camera so we could get the video. We, surprisingly, were successful in doing just that. It took a WHOLE lot of helium balloons, and learning from the first failed attempt to do so, but we got it.
I will have to admit now, this was LPL's awesome idea, but we all had a great time doing it. There are three movies for download below, they are kinda big, so if your on dial-up...SORRY!
I may add a couple more videos later from the extra footage I got so check back. We are also trying to come up with other ideas to do with the little cameras (they were cheap, so were not so cautious with them), so if you have suggestions, layem on me. Enjoy!
