Geek Stuff:  Filmed using a Sony miniDV camcorder, transferred to VHS and subsequently edited using Pinnacle DV500 with Adobe Premiere 6.01.

In July 2002, our family took a two day rafting trip down the New River in West Virginia.  At the end of the trip I purchased a souvenir video of our experience.  Not completely satisfied with the quality of the video I just purchased, I decided to turn their film into my film.

Their original video was shot by guides from Appalachian Wildwaters.  The video quality was second generation but the content was good.  I deleted unnecessary scenes and added digital photographs I took along the way.  My son Mike did the voice over while I added a much more appropriate musical soundtrack.

The backing soundtrack consisted of several instrumentals from 60's guitar icons The Ventures as well as contemporary artists, guitar icon Steve Morse and the  Blue Man Group.
