Good place to get unicycling on TV.

I just signed up for the "Fuel" cable network, an all
"action sports" cable channel. There is a show on Fuel
titled "Project Detention" that shows non-professionally-
produced sports videos. Fuel and Project Detention are both
well produced. The websites are
http://www.projectdetention.com and http://www.fuel.tv. The
only additional info I know is that Project Detention
focuses on videos produced by younger (high school-age and
younger) filmmakers and editors. Fuel may be open to airing
professionally-produced unicycling videos. Make sure you
*really* read the video and music clearance documents before
sending in your submissions.

This seems like a great way to promote unicycling to a much
larger audience.

A friend of mine who gets 'Fuel' here in Australia said he's
seen unicycing on there twice already! He's going to tape it
the next time he sees it. Apparently some of the mountain
biking guys who are on the show regularly are also mountain
and trials unicyclists. I've never seen the show/channel but
it sounds interesting.

My brother and I will be entering high school next year and
we are planning to make a video of our best riding. Do you
think a video imported into the computer by a firewire port
and put back onto a tape would be high enough quality?

You can see our other movies in the gallery. Our album is
called "Uni412's Trials and Street Album".

Uni 412, Yes, "video through firewire and back to tape"
would be ok, just don't compress the video too much when
you load it to your hard drive. The more video compression
you use, the worse your video will look. Check your
hardware and editing software. Some editing software allows
you do make all of your edit decisions in a low video
quality (but hard drive space-saving) rough cut and then do
a high video quality conform based on your edit list. If
your hard drive is large enough you may just be able to
load the video to your hard drive in high video quality,
edit this footage, and output that video straight to tape.
Your storage needs will depend on how much raw footage you
want to work with and how long you expect the finished
piece to be. Try some very simple edit jobs and see the
output quality for yourself.
