LLTV EXPERIMENTAL EPISODE In this episode I mount a cheap 'HD' camcorder (which captures video onto a solid-state memory card) and proceed to cycle my way through part of London's West End. The seven minute journey (x2 normal speed) starts just south of Regents Park and heads down Portland Place, south along Regent Street (passing Oxford Circus, the junction with Oxford Street) and through Piccadilly Circus to Leicester Square. Then bike turns north up Charing Cross Road then east towards Covent Garden before finishing at Bow Street. The journey is continuous - where you see a fade transition it is only chopping some time out of where I was at a red traffic light for a while. This episode lacks the 'finesse' I like to put into the LLTV experience - the picture and sound quality is below the finely defined detail that comes from my my main HD camcorder. In addition there is an intense amount of picture movement at times, making this episode not suitable for viewers prone to epilepsy. However I thought I would air this experiment to get your feedback. Next week I'll make up for it with a nice smooth tripod-mounted London experience! I would welcome your feedback from this episode, good and bad - please contact me via at email: nick@lansley.com with your thoughts!
