Thanks for the tips!
exelent explanation but there are some extreemly tight sequences i have seen where one picture of the rider is on top of the other and it looks prophesional like in the magazines , how do you do that??
same way, you just have to erase around the rider very very carefully when you apply the shot over the rider.
hey did you say anything about an easier way to make a sequence like a programme that does it automatically for you? or do you just need to put some money into a good camera
dont need a good camera, you just need to get the rider to do the jump a number of times then take those photos and combine them into one sequence.
okay, good info for the masses, but (LOL) Corel, not many people use Corel anymore...how about a photoshop tutorial?? I have always loved sequences because they truely give you a reference of the entire motion of the rider and bike through the "stunt".
I also read your post in the forums on this topic and have to disagree (because of the simplicity) of using a digital video camera to put together a composite shot....it maybe low-res for print use (totally dependent on the camera) but would be acceptable for web use (ie on Pinkbike) Which reminds me I got a new sequence I did, using this method with my new video camera from an Oregon coast cliff drop that I am now going to have to post later. Not bad, but not great. I do however comend you for tackling this issue for others to comprehend. I've posted sequetial composites (see my photos) before and had lots of questions on how this is accomplished.

Corel is still a standard in many fields using vector drawing, Adobe in this respect still hasn't caught up. I recently purchased CS3; however this tutorial works for any photo editing software. After looking at your photos in your gallery the video quality in my mind isn't even up to web standard, I cant see any detail in the rider(not being rude).
Yes, Corel still has a foothold in industries using vector drawing...but "Adobe still hasn't caught up". Did you get the CS3 suite? Ever try Illustrator? Kicks Corels butt in terms of the same abilities but with a simplistic user interface for vector-based design.
While you may not think that the sequences in my gallery are "even up to web standard" I think your wrong and so does mtbr.com. After posting the above comment and then uploading those sequential shots I said I was going to, mtbr.com featured one on their homepage..."not up to web standards"...try 2000+ views from the main page of a large mtb oriented site.
With that being the case, I gotta disagree with you...still better than some of the crappy cell phone images that people post online! (not being rude either)

he explained the 1,2,3 frames per second, your camera should have a quick shot setting of some sort.
hay altough this may sound gay but i have a 5 mega pixle phone and i am going to try it on that it has burst mode (or best pic on it) but sometimes there blury! so i might have to stand behind them!
what if ur on a real tight budget and have only got a camera that is only capable of taking two shots is it still possible to do this write back please
Yes you can, just make the rider do the jump a number of times and then combine the sequence together like I showed you here.
search online for a program called paint.net, its a free program just like photoshop and it has a layer function so you dont have to align the rider, it is done automatically for you
also, if yu dont want to take 5 seperate shots, what i do is take a video on my digital camera (nothing flashy, only cost around £60) then put the video onto windows movie maker. otehr movie making software should work just as fine as long as there's a screenshot tool.
just take 5 seperate screenshots and use them instead.
helpful advice though

its either the ones you said the slr or my parents are looking at Canon PowerShot 8.0MP Digital Camera (S5 IS) will this get the job done.
sometimes over lapping is good but you need to use magnetic wand tool in photo shop
but good tutorial
couldn't of done it better my self

You can just do this with Microsoft Office Publisher and a video camera. Just pull frames out of a video (lower quality than a pic), and then just overlay all of the pictures in Publisher and then crop around the rider. No lining up required.
