Hey, I made the video. Youtube has some really high tech system that can detect copyright infringement instantly! It blocked it almost right away after I posted. If anyone has any suggestions for less strict websites, let me know and I'll post it. Upload the video to your facebook. When you're on the page where you can view your video on facebook, click on 'embed video'. A little window will pop up. Copy the text in the text-box. Paste it into a forum reply. You'll get something like this: <object width="400" height="300" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="www.facebook.com/v/1661698349648" /><embed src="www.facebook.com/v/1661698349648" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object> Find the URL to your video in there. I highlighted it in red in the above text. Now delete all the other random stuff that you pasted, and leave only the URL. You'll have this: www.facebook.com/v/1661698349648 Now just put URL tags around it, and people can click the link to your video www.facebook.com/v/1661698349648(The video I just posted is me navigating the Queen of Chilliwack last November. For the privacy of myself and the crew, I'm going to modify this post with a fake video URL in a few days. Until then, enjoy this ) So, are these video segments actually under copyright? If so, I can't help but note the hypocrisy of young Mr Viking enthusiastically offering tips for getting around it, while in every post sternly warning people about poaching his ferry photos. Most of us are probably somewhat selective about how often we observe intellectual property rights. If we really want to see something, we're usually pretty good at rationalizing why, in this case, it doesn't really matter.

In reality, movies most likely aren't essential to anyone's quality of life, or necessary to anybody's survival, but they have to justify continually producing more and more movies, somehow, I suppose. Substitute 'ferry photos' for 'movies', and the point is the same. Your opinion of the movie industry isn't relevant, nor is anyone's criticism of the sanctity of one's ferry photography. I don't have any particular problem with someone posting old movie clips, per se, but the fact remains that property is property, and people shouldn't get all shirty about their photos being appropriated if they're going to lift someone else's creativity, when it suits them.

I have deleted the facebook video link of the new member's ferry-movie compilation video.
There are issues raised with this posting, that make us (the forum and those of us who assert our artists' rights) look foolish or inconsistent by allowing this to be posted here.
If Youtube doesn't allow something, that's a good indication that we shouldn't either.
Again, I used our own forum rules (and Luke's signature message) as my guideline in removing this.
If we as a forum allow this, then we've weakened all our arguments about how our own photography is our own property.
It's a principle thing.

I'm leaving. This isn't the nice atmosphere I thought it would be. It is a pretty nice place if you are aware of copyright issues, especially in a place with so many photographers as this place. You seemed to be unaware of the need to respect those issues, so it's a good idea that you decided to leave.

So sorry the forum doesn't have PVR to record these sorts of things. It's been a while since we've had this much fun on the forum. Really, I cannot understand this person's thought process... No one said anything particularly sarcastic right off the bat: it was just a simple question. Copyright issues aside: If you want to be in a place where nothing that anyone has done is out of place, or can be questioned: Corrections Canada might have a place for you, because no one there has ever done anything wrong. But to get there by violating copyright, you'd have to do it in a really, really big way, so I would recommend being persistent at this sort of thing if you want to succeed.

housekeeping item: - Please put your video posts into the ship-specific threads, if it's mainly of a certain ferry, and if you feel it enhances the visual-record of the ship in that thread. I'll be moving some of the earlier video posts, in the coming weeks. friendly reminder.

At one time there used to be a thread called "Ferries in Film", and was specifically for videos or mention of Ferries making some sort of an appearance during movie.
Someone has taken the time to do a pretty neat compilation of clips taken on BC Ferries from over the years.
Enjoy!

A sped-up version of my Active Pass ferry watching video footage, from Mayne Island on July 14-15, 2013.
- ship segments are sped-up 25 times - non-ship segments are sped-up 100 times

Here's a YouTube item that I uploaded. It is of BC ferry minor vessels in the late 1990s and early 2000s era. - this video is done by another forum member (Ferryman), using his own footage and also footage from Karl. I've uploaded this with their permission. It gives a good look at both the pre-2003 minor ships, and also the early development of ferry-fans . There is footage of Tachek at & near Swartz Bay, working on Route-5.

Thanks Mike that was awesome. It was neat to see those videos again! Too bad there was not more of the Queen if Nanaimo cause you would of heard the ol Ding Dong chime and something about the Lantern Coffee Bar on the SOVI announcements. I was pretty young when I started liking the ferries and interesting to see my dad mom and brother in that footage too!

Here's my compilation video of all my footage from my morning above Horseshoe Bay - July 7, 2014.
I highly recommend this location to anyone who wants a unique view of the bay and sound.

A video I shot today from my iPhone, with Queen of New Westminster and Coastal Celebration in Active Pass. You can hear the Celebration's whistle around 2:30 and the New West's around 3:30. In the background is the marine traffic radio.Started recording after I hear the New West blast her whistle 5 times at a group of sailboats as we all know means "get out of my way!!!"

Here's a general ferry video, which is my timelapse of over 13 hours spent on Mt. Maxwell on Salt Spring Island.
The speed of this video is geared for general timelapse purposes, and so the ferry movement is very fast.
....I am working on a separate video of just the ferry footage, at a slower speed. I will post that other video in a few days.
Here's the general video:

Here's a bunch of ferries moving through Active Pass. Seen from beside the Springwater Lodge on Mayne Island, on July 8, 2015.
Keep an eye on Sturdies Bay...

Here's my BCF compilation of trips through Active Pass. This is filmed from the shore at Galiano Island's cemetery on July 12 & 13, 2016.
This is the fast-speed novelty version, just tried for fun. Some people like the rapid-fire viewing. The speed is 20x.
Where I move my camera angle during a scene, I slow things down, much like a car slowing down for a corner, and then speeding up in the straight parts.
Slower-speed version of this will be posted in a few days.
