Escape to the Camera by Kyle Westwood, Flea
May 26th, 2008 11:37 AM / Location: 54.855539,-6.262936Kyle - Assault
I re-arranged my garden in order to have a small assault course.
This was the first half of the assault course.
Plan was to jump off my shed onto my trampoline.
The video explains the rest.
Two shots were taken by my camera. The first at 10 seconds...
The second, where I'm in the frame, at 18 seconds...
Flea - Swing
I'm attempting to swing, jump, and get a shot of myself in the air which is in focus.
FAIL.
FAIL
Semi-success...
WIN!
Flea and Kyle - Steep
2 second timer, running up a steep hill.
Flea and Kyle - Surf
2 second timer, sliding down a steep hill on a smooth wooden board.
Flea hit the ground and rolled a considerable distance. Kyle managed to recover and keep running.
Flea vs Kyle - Duel
Two shots, 10 and 18 seconds. Who Escapes?
Hmm, that'd be Kyle then...

Yeah, it's kinda odd.
This is a lovely completion - hence the votes - but it's not a boring enough one to explain the lack of commentary.
I voted because I enjoyed it, and it made me laugh, I didn't comment because I like when the task is done alone. Having somebody else set the timer and click the button seems a little (to me for some strange reason that may only exist in my head) like cheating. I think part of the fun of this task is to set the timer, hit the button, then run as far away as possible, or out of frame, and then run into frame. It was very very difficult for me to dive to the bottom of a pool and then swim up and out and run to the other end and then dive into frame. I'm proud of being able to have done that. If I had somebody else click the button, it would have been much easier and less satisfying. That's what I didn't comment here. But there are some great fun shots so I vote.
Same thing with yours help (and Doktor and JJason), while the completion is top notch I just think of this more as a one person task. That's all.
For the record, we did have the person who was escaping set the timer. The others were just there to be escaped from.
is there something about the task "escape to the camera" that discourages comments?
i only mention this because my recent completion of it got several votes but no comments either.
