Oh,
ho ho ho ho! With only two videos to discuss, it was a seemingly
light week, right? Wrong! Read on to get the full scoop of 20
Minutes of Cheap Special Effects With a Tim Hortons Red Velvet
Cookie,
and the supposed-to-be-familiar Some
Bush Trail that Connects to Concession Road #3; 2017 Winter Visit.
I honestly wanted to record
some gaming videos from last week, but gosh! If only I'd practice
better time management!
Why
did this cookie cost me $1.49? Sometime ago, weren't these things
like $0.99 or possibly even less? Or
was it because this one
is a fancier variety? Who knows. Now it's time to answer the burning
question that many people probably must be wondering: why in the
world did you make this video and what is the point of it?! Because I
can. Ok, truth is, I don't know what I was thinking when I did this,
but a strange idea just randomly came to to film a cookie from Tim
Hortons, and then funkily fill it with a whole bunch of random
special effects and filters. The results? Editing took FAR
longer than I anticipated! WHEW!
Editing this 21 minute video ended up taking me 2-3 hours!
Paaaaaaaaaaaa! It felt like it wasn't going to end, but I did it. I
was determined to actually entertain the idea of doing this, went
out, bought the cookie and filmed it, so I made myself endure the
tedious process. Worth it? I don't know. I got play around with a lot
of things and experiment with some things that I've never done
before. Oh, and let's not forget the bonus – cookie tearing and
eating! Ahhhh, so it wasn't so
bad after all? A cheap video that allowed to wildly dish out filters
and effects to the max, and then got to enjoy the subject right
afterwards.
Nice. Real nice. Another
thing: this video initially had a spinning segment that lasted a
minute, but for very obvious reasons, this was removed in the final
good copy before publishing it to YouTube. That would be way too
trollish and bad for people's health, had
I
kept it in there. I had that removed to allow us to enjoy the red
velvet cookie star.
Either way, the video itself is kind of a trollish tease video, but
harmless.
So
yes, as you'll recognize from the title or commentary of the video, I
came back to this place to film it better. If you've seen both of the
videos before watching this, there are some notable differences. The
first time I filmed this place back in the summer of 2016, I actually
continued out to 3rd
Concession. This time around, I took a path to my left and ventured
out deeper into an alternate part of the forest, that also happened
to bring close to a body of water. Speaking
of this, after doing research in between while
typing this, I've discovered that the place I was in was called
Valley Farm Ravine. Makes sense. So while I was travelling in
that direction, I was indeed wandering further south into the Valley
Farm's
forest and ravines,
while west was going to bring me into Grand
Valley Park, which I was aware of. While I do have plans to film
Grand Valley forest at some point, I just really wanted to make a
better video of that bush trail, which now that I know the name, I
might just re-name the first video to Valley Farm Forest Ravine: Following The Path Straight to Grand Valley
and re-name the 2017 video to
Valley Farm Forest Ravine: 2017 Winter Visit.
Yeah, I'll do that right after I finish this. So! How was the trip
this time? Well, the video didn't turn out so rippled like the last
time, but thanks to
the numerous uneven ice paths, it made navigation tricky sometimes.
It also made the first three minutes or so bounce off a lot, to the
point that I wondered if it were going to make people motion sick if
they saw it? Probably not, but I still ended up actually asking that
for the video's poll anyway.
LOL! The hills, trees, beautiful creek and many paths in
this place made
it a
very nice forest
to film and explore, but my “old man” camera isn't very fond of
the cold, so I ended up only filming a little over 20 minutes of it,
which honestly isn't too bad, but would've been nice if I could have
done more. Actually, the video probably would terminated
around 19 minutes, but because I determinedly pushed it, I ended up
getting around 23 minutes of raw footage. Don't know why I didn't
figure this out sooner, but if I had swapped that battery, I would've
been able to go further. Duh? Should that have been obvious? Yes, it
should've, but you see, I was there thinking that it was just the
phone throwing one of those temperamental fits it threw back in 2016.
I finally took notice of the fact that even when it powered off
without showing the “turning off device” message, it'd often show
a big, red, “scary, empty battery across the black screen, meaning
that it was depleting hard and fast because of how harsh and cold
Canadian winters are. So truth is, that 2100 mAh battery honestly
stood up like a champ, considering that it's now 3
years old! Wow,
time flies! So for another time, I should throw in a fresh battery
and see if that allows me to film an additional 20-30 minutes. I
shouldn’t continue to let the 1st
attempt of the Sinclair trip continue to let me make such assumptions
without trying, so I'll just try and see what happens next time.
I
plan to maybe record 2 or 3 commentaries videos this week, and an
outdoors video of course. I haven't uploaded a mobile gaming video
since the 26th
of December last year, which means that it has been 22 days since!
WHOA!
I
should try to play or game or two, but because these videos aren't a
priority for me, I don't know if it'll happen this week, but we'll
see.
