For
this entry I'm discussing Rouge
Beach - Rouge River National Park,
Rouge River National Park: 11 Minutes of Waves and
the triumphant, unexpected(?), bold Name
Change!
Let's dive into this.
Rouge
Beach - Rouge River National Park
You
want to know what inspired me
to go to the lake that day? Two things: the first was Twitter.
While I was posting the tweets to my videos from last time, I looked
around to see some of the other things happening or trending tweets.
When
I saw “Lake Ontario” hovering around somewhere, I thought “Hey,
that will actually be a great idea for my next shoot out!” And then
there's the fact that I also wanted to do something a little
different, so I decided that Lake Ontario was definitely the place I
wanted to visit that weekend. There are many coastlines and ports to
choose, but I decided to go for Rouge River National Park. What
surprised me that day, was how warm it was at 19°C, but yet I
dressed like it was 10°C. Go figure. It was the 29th
of October and I didn't feel like I could trust that so called
temperature reading, so I just played it “safe”, but it resulted
in me making complaints about how sweaty I became
from moving around extensively. Still, I didn't dress down because it
got much cooler later, so my gear served its purpose. Now that's
enough lame rambling about the temperature, so let's talk more about
Rouge Beach itself! I've never been to this place before, or maybe I
have when I was way
younger, but couldn't remember. Either
way, it felt like a great, new, fresh experience for me and boy was
it scenic! The sand, the grey-blue waters, rocks, bridges, tracks and
hills of trees changing colours made everything so picturesque,
despite the cloudy skies. There were a fair number of visitors, but
not particularly a lot, because after all, it wasn't the warmest day
ever, nor was this Jamaica, Cuba, Portugal, Thailand or something, so
I wouldn't have expected there to be much people at this time of the
year. Had I gone further west, I could have also checked out
Chesterton Shores, but my main purpose of that trip was just to
explore a relatively small portion of the area, and climb the rocks.
Mission
accomplished! Another random thing that you probably already know
about,
is the nuclear plant. Due to this
coast's
extreme proximity to Pickering's arch shaped coastline, you can see
the nuclear plant from
the vast distance ahead
when
you walk towards
the eastern stretch
of this beach. Some will probably find that a little unnerving, some
cool, and some will be indifferent and probably not even notice or
care until I mentioned it. And
of course, international readers/viewers wold probably have no idea
unless they've actually heard of these cities and are familiar with
the area. I saw a silver Porsche 911 and a red Lamborghini Murciélago
drive by at some point before I got here. Awesome.
Rouge
River National Park: 11 Minutes of Waves
So
after filming and taking full resolution photos, I decided to put the
1080p on action scene versus 720p@30fps to the test and determine
which yields
better results.
The first five and a half minutes I believe were
shot on 1080p + Action scene, while the latter half was done with
720p@30fps + beach mode. Which is better? I don't know. They honestly
look pretty damn near identical, so it's either they're
equal, more testing with high motion subjects
will need to be done, or I'll have to wait until I hear from people
with their opinions on this matter. Another thing you'll notice is
the La
Finale ATA1201058. Whoa!
Does that mean I quit and stopped making videos? Nope! It just meant
that it was the end of the ATA1201058 branded videos. Finishing
up by making the last video a chilling scene by the waves seemed like
a great way to end the ATA era.
This
now leads me to my next sub-heading: Name
Change!
Name
Change
From
ATA1201058 to now GuuzakaTube! Wasn't easy really coming up with a
new name, nor was it easy putting together a detailed video on the
reasoning
behind it.
Now, because the video itself already explains nearly everything,
there's no point in typing it up here again. Instead, what I'll do
here is cover the things that weren't mentioned, and one thing that
seriously comes to mind is a question I'd anticipate: Why did you
feel the need to make such a “grand” video on this subject,
for a
channel that has extremely
low traffic?
Well, part of the answer has already been mentioned in the video
itself, and that's the fact the ATA1201058 nameplate
was nearly 7
years old,
before I finally axed it. Within those seven years, it wasn't until
“recently” that I started firing up videos on this channel, but
it's also important to mention that way before then, I've left
hundreds, perhaps thousands of comments and interactions all over the
place. Some people may have become familiar with at least the first
few symbols of the name, so for people to suddenly see something so
drastically different, they may wonder who on earth that is, or why I
changed my name in the first place. Even if nobody actually cares
(which is 99% likely to be the case I must be honest), the real
driving reason behind it was mostly for personal reasons.
I wanted
to make the channel a better and
more recognizable place. If I'm truly serious about my videos and
claim
to be
striving for a better channel of quality, it was important that I
finally took a serious look at the cryptic name I had, and did away
with it. As
I mentioned in the video, it was a video I watched that mentioned the
importance of having a good, strong name, but it's also important to
choose something you personally like as well, and GuuzakaTube
happened to fit the bill really well for me.
My
Instagram
Yeah,
yeah! I know it's still looking very blank and underdeveloped to
date, so I'll try and get it polished either hopefully Sunday or
Monday.
