LEANDER VS OXFORD UNIVERSITY | PRE BOAT RACE FIXTURE

[@lucaarvanitis2465]

I must say the 360 camera was a great investment

[@neilsanglingreviews6849]

Class footage some of the best yet! Great dramatic music also. Was glued to the screen

[@EdwardAlexanderSmall]

I usually post a stupid comment saying how my 2k is so quick that I'm done after 1000m or something, but have to say that this was excellent, and I hope the actually boat race follows this piece of cinema as an example. Good stuff, exciting to watch.

[@EricBandholz]

Appreciate your videos man. They inspire me to become a better rower.

[@michaelshasha5996]

Good race. Looked like a close one all the way down the course. Looks like they jumped you off the start from the vid I shot of the start but great effort to get back. Some good Yam going on there!

[@philipsquire9056]

I was on the edge of my seat! Was rooting hard for Leander. Loved the music and dramatic angles. Great content! I like the way YT felt a scene from the film Margin Call was what I should watch next after this :-)

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Philip! Was aiming for that type of feel. Was hoping to catch you on the yamsquad coaching too!

[@philipsquire9056]

@@CameronBuchan Need to get a way to film myself sorted out. My daughter and I rarely train together.

[@CameronBuchan]

Balancing your phone, laptop, or tablet. Don't need a lot of footage to start with! Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video! #yamsquad

[@Rich_Mitch_Creative]

Best use of that camera I've seen. We were right there with you, every stroke. It helped tell the story rather than just a flash bit of kit. A perfect use for it. Great footage Cam, and I really thought you were going to take them up to Hammersmith [i didn't read the description as I didn't want to spoil the result.]

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks Rich. I agree, I can make all the effects with it, but if it doesn't help there is no point!

[@Rich_Mitch_Creative]

Narrative is king. You smashed it with this one. Quality.

[@ladysarah6198]

Fantastic rowing conditions, fantastic rowing. Thank you Cam.

[@raman5329]

Regardless of the result, it was a super high level performance with absolute stunning footage. Thanks to you and your fellow rowers for letting us be so close. Cheers!

[@joscott8249]

Wow. Fantastic footage. Who's broadcasting the boat race this year. Might they be interested in this in return for some exposure for your vlog ?

[@idiootje1239]

Unfortunate of the piece, But great video! Some time ago i think you mentioned a video idea to show your whole boat line up? I love that idea! Maybe you could make a video of who is in which seat And what's their task? Anyway beatiful video and keep yamming 🍠!

[@CameronBuchan]

We will get there one day!

[@williamjames7413]

Cameron try to reach further forward at the catch for a longer stroke and more power over noticed that yours is much shorter than your other crew members

[@CameronBuchan]

Appreciate the feedback Will! Although I think there is a little bit of the fish eye not doing me any justice 😂 the telemetry definitely says I'm rowing shorter than I should though!

[@williamjames7413]

@@CameronBuchan oh Ok then Cameron you looked great out there anyways Oh and when you do your erg 2k what your 500 meter split time

[@CameronBuchan]

You are definitely right though! Around 1:27.5

[@alexwaters6007]

Cameron Buchan 🍠🍠🍠

[@jamespfeffer2941]

Incredibly dramatic. Well done, Cam. Thank you for sharing your journey. Best, Jamie #yamsquad

[@CameronBuchan]

I appreciate the positivity Jamie. Hopefully next week will be something better

[@simonwhiting4571]

Intense!!!!!!! Looked so good......

[@pking006]

Do you guys ever get coaching on how to row? There's a lot you could be doing to make your boat faster

[@CameronBuchan]

Our coach coaches us everyday. Unfortunately this was a poor showing of how we row outside of training. What sound you recommend? And can you see the differences between this and the reading head? That was a better showing but obviously still needs work

[@pking006]

@@CameronBuchan I've seen a few of your videos, I have to FF past the 'ah-yeah' type stuff, the pairs rowing and the eight all look very up and down (like you're on the ergo) you could get more round the pin - have a look at these guys - www.felixdieu.com/Rowing/2015/The-Kiwi-Pair/i-TfSKrPs

[@jamespfeffer2941]

Wouldn't anyone suffer by comparison against those guys? The Kiwi Pair was probably the greatest combination in rowing -- arguably in all sport. Hamish Bond could make a 6'8" guy look like he was rowing short by comparison. Eric Murray was world class at every distance from 1000 meters to a Half Marathon. Also, Leander has probably fielded that VIII -- at most -- five or six times all season. And that might have been only their third or fourth row on that stretch of the Thames. That is very difficult water to row if you aren't used to it. Thank you. Best, Jamie

[@CameronBuchan]

When you say the ah yeah type stuff what do you mean? Just looking for feedback so I can improve! Also, how much more round the pin would you say? Keen to have feedback from all angles!

[@CameronBuchan]

Definitely our biggest shock being the first time on the Thames since last year! But still have to be able to row on it!

[@OxPaul]

That was one heck of a race. So who do you reckon’s going to win come beat race day?!

[@CameronBuchan]

It's a good question Paul, maybe I'll make a video about it! I reckon it's going to be pretty close this year with the edge to Cambridge

[@clauswolter3946]

Really enjoyed the unique (at least for me) camera views. A perspective not commonly seen. Thank you for sharing. What type of camera was used?

[@ct7908]

Claus Wolter 360° camera

[@clauswolter3946]

@@ct7908 thank you for your response - I was wondering which make/model - thnx!

[@CameronBuchan]

Yup it was a 360 camera, I use a combo of the insta 360 one x and the gopro fusion!

[@Gtiles]

Great footage! I know you changed crews a bit, but can you spot any major differences between Oxford and Cambridge now you've raced them both? Nice shots of my club just beyond Hammersmith bridge too ;-)

[@CameronBuchan]

Not really to be honest! But both crews have improved!

[@gregormontgomery635]

What a close race. Unlucky not to win that cam

[@cdturner]

nice 360 degree footage. youtube and facebook let you upload the full 360 footage so you can look around as it plays. Cool race.

[@CameronBuchan]

I am aware I just don't a want to spend 5+ hours uploading!

[@cdturner]

Cameron Buchan of course ! I like the switch from you to the opposition and back. Great race.

[@pedrocorpus]

Do you have any footage of your race against Cambridge with Cracknell in their crew? I don't think you could post it at the time. I bet it would be a popular video!

[@CameronBuchan]

That's a good question! I'd have to look in the archives for it.

[@hamadfaheem4195]

I Thought you had it at 8:53 But Good Race tho !

[@rowerquent]

Amazing footage mate!

[@jackmcd277]

This is just Epic!!

[@CameronBuchan]

👏 Thank 👏 you

[@kibble0]

The 360 camera is sooo good

[@control123blitz7]

Wow the best of the best 👍

[@gwhite1932]

That was gripping 👍

[@blakeostrem8539]

Wish my boat was that set :(

[@MrAndrewbreen]

nice little yamming session.love the footage cam. #yamsquad

[@anthonyfreeman6513]

You guys were so close good job

[@josteinthon1059]

YAM CAM!! (Two puns in one sententence🙃)

[@jamespfeffer2941]

Well done.

[@jacobioras45]

Cambridge will probs win Because they beat you guys in the pieces but you beat oxford also great vid!

[@markosaban8050]

Absolutely amazing video! And no spoken word just music and action until 11:13, I stopped. How did you direct the camera while racing so hard? Did you program it to pivot or to recognize Oxford boat in motion? Pure magic! You have a job in Hollywood, when your rowing career is over :-).

[@Veslanjejezivot]

it is 360° camera. It films everything around and then you manually select scenes

[@CameronBuchan]

It is a 360 camera like above mentioned! It films everything in a ball and then you choose what it films on software after!

[@ianmiller5056]

It is easy to comment but your finish is much shorter than 2’s. I am exhaused just watching

[@CameronBuchan]

Thanks for the feedback Ian. I think the fish eye distorts what's actually happening. I am rowing short but the telemetry says longer than 2

[@antonioant6536]

3seat? 😳

[@CameronBuchan]

Don't have to worry about anything but the yam
