Before you watch this, I apologise OK. A couple of comments were made within the family which led to me showing them how exciting AI sailing can really be. And at the same time I got a new computer and software so I thought I'd really test it out.

So keep that tongue in your cheek, grab some popcorn, sit back and relax.

hey, cool! Not sure what software "La Gringa Suprema" has been using to put music to our little videos, but I bet she would love this stuff. What video editing software is that?

Great work Slaughter! That was really fun, and we're looking forward to more from you!

Was this done with iMovie? I noticed that in the credits.

If it was it just might be enough to make me go buy an Apple 8) :roll:
Love my iPad :D

Actually if this little trailer is ever released to the world, Hobie will not be able to keep up with the demand for more of these epic adventures with Jake Slaughter :lol: :lol: :lol:

I hope you all enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed making it. And you guessed it ....iMovie. Instead of individual presents for Christmas the family all put in and got a Mac. On the amature level, I found that the basic Windows based video editing products are a bit ordinary compared to what the Mac can do. I am really enjoying the photography and video side of what we do.

Trouble was with this clip, I was running out of exciting footage. So I was planning on casting some 25 year old Swedish blondes, and film them in red bikinis washing the AI with soapy water and pouting lips. But, like their bikini tops, the film budget was a bit tight so I had to settle for my dog Angus running towards the camera. Sorry about that. You may see them in Jake's next adventure movie called 'Beyond Bass Strait' :wink:

So, now that you released the trailer, when can we expect the full length motion picture release? :)

I don't recall any of us extras being offered contracts. You'll be hearing from my agent.

Great stuff Slaughter! Certainly the equal of any Hollywood trailer. 8)
And just like Hollywood totally removed from reality! :wink:
This was a template in iMovie?
Looking forward to more. :)

Brilliant stuff there, but I fear you've given away the magic behind all other adventures - you have backup staff carry all your "junk" around for you whilst on water as well as on land !!

... BUSTED :o
