Wer immer schon mal einen Ritt auf einer Kanonenkugel miterleben wollte, kann dies nun tun ;) Gestern Abend hab ich die Videoclips fürs Web editiert, die das Filmteam vom Discovery Channel für die TV-Dokumentation "Big Big Bikes" von Ian King (Top Fuel Bike Pilot) gedreht hat.
Dafür wurden zwei Kameras am Bike und dem Helm befestigt, so dass man aus der Egoperspektive den Höllenritt erleben kann. In 6,5 Sekunden auf über 200 mph. Dann viel Spass ;) Download Videoclip (7 Minuten, 26 MB)
Die Discovery Channel Dokumentation folgt später...

But, the eighty-year-old video gamer is going to try again, this time at the upcoming Classic Gaming Expo UK, scheduled for London, August 13, 2005. The CGEUK can be found on the internet at www.cgeuk.com
Background information on Doris from earlier news release:
She used to play poker and bridge with her 80-year-old girlfriends almost every night. Sometimes until four o’clock in the morning. And, her passion was shooting “craps” while on casino junkets.
That is, until Billy Mitchell delivered a Q*bert arcade video game to her house. Now, Doris Self, of Fort Lauderdale, eats, drinks and sleeps Q*Bert, the classic video game from the early 1980s, practicing day and night. And, if she breaks the Q*bert record, she’ll be history’s oldest video game world
champion.
“I was the Q*bert champion in 1984 with a score of 1,112,300 points,” remembers Doris. “At that time, I was the oldest video game champ in the world at 58 years old, a fact verified by Twin Galaxies’ scorekeeper Walter Day (www.twingalaxies.com). It’s still listed in Twin Galaxies’ Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records, the gaming industry’s official book of records.”
Though Doris’ score was bested in 1985, she still retained the status of “oldest” champion until 2003 when John Lawton, 72, of New Hampshire, captured the Depthcharge title.
“I was sad when I lost the title I had held for twenty years,” laments Doris. “Then I got a call from gaming legend Billy Mitchell, who offered to loan me a Q*bert machine to practice on and win back my title. Billy made me promise that I would give up poker and practice Q*bert everyday.”

This latest issue of IdN takes a long look at many design tools that were once regarded as indispensable - and that some designers are now finding themselves irresistibly drawn back to.
It also features an exclusive interview with the makers of Madagascar, the new Dreamworks animation sensation. And part of our series on the neo-photographers is printed in startling new seven-colour hi-fi. You have to see it to believe it!
