Beginning in
mid-February 2010, I began a project to video all the San Antonio area
freeways. These videos will replace the
so-called “driver’s view” pics that I had started to do once upon a time. Shooting,
editing, and posting the videos is a lot easier than a plethora of
photos, so hopefully it will be easier for me to get the initial batch
completed and also to keep them updated than it was going the photo
route.
In addition, I'm using the videos to update my exit lists (much easier
to do from a video than trying to write them down at 65 mph <g>) and
also to build the new lane schematics (see the previous parenthetical
note).
To keep the clips within the YouTube guidelines (and to make them more
tolerable to watch), the playback is at double-speed. Initially, I opted not to put a soundtrack over them,
but I subsequently changed my mind on that and have added music along with some subtitle commentary of items of
interest on new videos posted during and after June 2010. I'm
planning to update the earlier videos in early 2012.
The map below shows the
routes that have already been done. Click on a route to go to media
gallery page for that corridor. I am anticipating completing the remaining
routes by the end of 2011.
