The first sample video you shared, the one you said was
"CRAP fuzzy video" was pretty much as you described it. That's a shame because the woman in the videos is gorgeous, and thankfully you did get some good pictures of her.
I read some of the comments following your post and we can see that people do want video. I downloaded test2.wmv. I liked it. The only real complaint I had is I thought the final 12 seconds of the video could have been edited out since it didn't contain anything other than a chair and the camera moving around. It took over 20 minutes to download that video and almost a fifth of it could have been edited out, which would have reduced the file size and download time. What I really liked is how you captured the women walking on the beach in their surroundings. You can see other people around. What is sexy about this type of thing is that the women are in public where other people can see them and they are not ashamed to be seen naked. It did have a little waviness from the heat rising off the sand. That is going to happen when shooting from a distance and the further away the subject is, the more waviness there will be.
I'm in the process of downloading test3.mp4 right now. The first sample you provided was in wmv format, and this one is in MP4. I am wondering why the format change. I think MP4 is the worst choice for video encoding. It is impossible to play incomplete mp4 files, which means it is impossible to play the file as it is downloading. wmv, avi, mpeg, and other formats allow the file to be played incomplete. mp4 files also have issues regarding the internal timing of the video.
I got test3.mp4 downloaded, watched it, and she's an attractive woman!

Everybody improves with experience. For your first foray into video, I thought these were pretty good.
Thanks much for taking the dip into video and sharing with us. I can't wait to see what you capture this summer.
