Various Video Clips
 
I'm just getting into this video thing, so I'm not exactly sure how I want to organize these.  I imagine this page will change quite a bit as it grows.  Newer videos will be added to the bottom of their respective pages.

If you are unfamiliar with this page, or if you need a copy of the RealPlayer™ software required to view the videos below, please click here for detailed information and instructions.

As a guideline, estimate it taking about 2.5 minutes per 1,000,000 bytes if you choose to download any of these files, assuming you are using a 56K dial-up modem.

The videos on this site fall into one of three categories:

More Swing

This next one is sort of a random clip.  It's from the TV show "Blind Date" where the people on one of the the dates went to Swingers, here in Atlanta, which is where I mainly go to swing dance.  A couple of people I know are dancing in the background.  Also, after watching it several times, I noticed that I must have been there that night because my car is parked in the street outside of Swingers! Due to all of the motion in this clip, a low (dial-up modem) speed version looked terrible and therefore there are only the higher-speed clips, so if you are using a dial-up modem, you will have to download the clip first, then play it from your hard disk.  (Running time: 38 seconds)

Even More Swing

It seems like every 6 months or so somebody gives me a black eye while dancing!  This time it happened to get caught on video because one of Jennifer's friends was videotaping us dancing.  All I can say is ouch!  Due to all of the motion in this clip, only a high-speed clip is available; therefore if you are using a dial-up modem, you will have to download the clip first, then play it from your hard disk.  (Running time: 15 seconds)  The MPEG version is of higher quality.

Here is another clip from later that same night.  This time it's Kathy and me dancing...to almost a full song.  Again, due to all of the motion in this clip, only a high-speed clip is available, blah, blah, blah (read what's above).  So here ya go (running time 1 minute 45 seconds)...
