Tom Lilley

Geowizard to look forward to, with the snooker on while waiting - cracking Saturday night!

Tom Davies

My body is ready

Jay

who isn't?

Hannah Samuels-Lyons

Who’s refreshing continuously?

Matt

Evening entertainment sorted, thank you chap

tom davies

Episode 2 is coming out tonight on patreon. I’ve aimed for 8pm but it could be 9pm (GMT) depending on upload time. Didn’t want to do a post because people think it’s the vid! Thanks all!

Jay

Is episode 2 coming out tonight for patroen?

Matthew

Not to disparage the other attempts but having watched both videos, your approach seems substantially more "real."

Ty Bowen

You are a legend and I am on pins and needles waiting to see how you do it.

The cuts to Tom researching the line always cracked me up. The face of someone who is abso-fucking-lutely done with Wales, lol.

John Hammond

Yep this is the best and most flexible way. I think sensor ratio has changed on the very latest GoPro models but it’s only got even more square (8:7). I think also you’d maybe have some trouble if you wanted to end up at 4K, as you can’t do 4:3 at a resolution high enough that will give you a 16:9 4K crop, but 1080 is more than enough for these videos.

Daniel Burt

Seeing a new straight line mission video pop up fills me with such pure joy. There’s just a warmth to your videos that I really appreciate, Tom. Thanks for what you do.

Ty

Watched this one over on YouTube and had to come join the Patreon! I'm a huge fan of the adventure content and cant wait to start getting it earlier. Much love, Tom! Keep up the amazing work

For future endeavors, just keep the aspect ratio as 4:3 because the horizontal resolution still remains the same as with 16:9, the widescreen mode just crops the footage. If you record in 4:3 then you can crop it by yourself to 16:9 in post. But tbh, I prefer the wide angle 4:3 that has more info.

Tom, 12 miles into a mission and facing a murderous cliff: "I can't go up that, it'll mean death. I'll have to go round." Me, in my bathrobe at home, eating chips: "Fuck that, go for it!"

Matthew Edwards

I guess Tom was making it public and Youtube shat itself

Anna Potts

insane Tom, i know you can beat those whipper snappers

Nathan Lavelle

whys it gone private :(

Pv

Yep, private!! why??

Matthew Edwards

Daniel Stefan

no way he privated the video while a was watching :'(

Jennifer English

Love it. Never let anyone try to one up you Tom!!

harry leach

amazing, blessing us with some amazing content recently especially with another mission coming soon.

Emmett Vezina

Wales ain't got nothing on ya Tom!!!!!

Marte Kjelsberg

Get in!

Podey Williams

Just saw that "Tom Davis" was a guest on Sunday Brunch this morning, before I clocked the spelling I thought they'd gotten our GeoWizard on to talk about the straight line mission for a sec!

Hey Tom, you might be able to squeeze out a better video quality from YouTube if you export and upload at a larger resolution (1440p or even better 2160p) even if your source footage is only 1080p. YouTube just compresses 1080p too much.

tom davies

I dont really know to be honest. Didn’t think there would be any issues!

tom davies

Next Saturday (29th)

Oscar Nissin

Get in! 💪🏻

Blayce

100% agree with you on that. no disrespect to him tho but sometimes i’m left at just looking at grass when i wanna see size perspective of the cliff

James Hefel

Where did the 3 episodes come from?

James Hefel

As far as I know that's his plan. Especially considering it's a tighter edit than usual, as he said.

Nick

LOVE IT

Shane Ewing

Tom: Im going to plan every inch of this. Also Tom: There should be a lake here...

Paul wall

Highlight of the month, these challenges alaways make me laugh.🤣😆

Gabriel Tremblay Grenier

I kind of miss the 4:3 style but if you are to go for 16:9, when you see you’re missing the upper part, you cap probably pan down the footage so to get the upper part of the clip more in frame?

Jurij Waite

A pleasant surprise as always!

Blayce

4:3 i think would've worked better with some of the cliffs and angles with this line but whatever I think it looks great nonetheless and most people will like it more. but only 3 episodes makes me worried something happened...

Jacob Gibbons

good on ya Tom

Parker

Honestly, I'm mostly just confused about why it happened.

Nathan Smith

GO ON TOM LAD ! Let's fackin do it

Parker

Sick !! Why did you end up switching from 4:3?

Ben

Actually brilliant… Hope this stays true throughout

Shane Davis

hell yeah dude!

Fanny Wikström

I have no idea how you do it, but thank you

Liam Rothwell

Another great video, Tom. Whippersnappers don't count if they have that amount of support 😂

Eric Fredricksen

A maximum of 31m south of the line and 17m max north of the line means you were always within 24m of a line 7m north of the one you plotted, so far. So, you're still platinum (again, so far).

Shane Ewing

Too bad for the platinum run, but looking very good for a successful mission...

Colin Vlach

Completing the mission at all is the only thing that matters I think. Going the distance. Winning the world championship. And, of course, being the first. There's always room for a platinum run in years to come if you wanted to prove it to yourself.

Ben

Loved it! when will you be releasing the next part on patreon??

Alloftheginjointsinalltheworld

Yes!!

Brett Howland

I will never get enough

Dan Melone

This would be a bit more exciting if after 5 miles his girlfriend released a bear.

Fatty Muller

bloody brilliant

Connor J

In the airport rn on my 23rd Birthday about to depart for a backpacking trip from Dublin to Rome and to top it all off the perfect entertainment. Cheers Tom!

Hannah Samuels-Lyons

Why does it bug me that it’s not a platinum run? I think because I want you to take the title that should be rightfully yours and not them twats. Great episode. Can’t wait for the next one. I’m as nervous as you around a quad bike about it though
