The Super Chief at Cottonwood Creek: take 1

This is my first attempt at posting a model train movie. The lighting is not very bright, and the background shows way too many objects that don't belong in the scene. This is only a format test.

 

Technical notes: the "raw footage" is on my hard drive at home, but I deleted it from my camera memory chip to save space. The experiment proves I can transfer video data from my camera to computer to Flickr without compatibility issues, so it is successful. Now all I have to do is learn to make movies. I also need to complete this scene, get a photo background, and get some better lighting.

 

I have been looking at photo backgrounds for years and came across a promising new site for them today at www.trainjunkies.com . Yeah, their web address is pretty weird, but I like several of their scenes and the simplicity of their website and ordering options. The Background Warehouse has been around a long time and has an even greater photo repertoire; however, their website is complex as are their ordering options and sizes.
