Sometimes you just don’t take enough video to make a decent story.
I have used the awning before but never tried out the side wall, this was the first time. The sidewall and awning cost less than $200 so I can’t complain but the side wall is half a metre narrower than the awning.
You could make that a much more interesting video if you zoomed in (or is it out?) on each segment one at a time then back again before moving on to the next. As it is it is a bit confusing with too much to watch, though I did like the chimes at the end
A video made from dashcam footage of a very wet trip from Canberra to Wollongong, a trip of 250km condensed into 5 minutes
that could Easily be in the UK with similar roads and driving on our side (the correct side ), even the scenery is very much like ours over here.Even have the same weather as well. All that is missing is English named places
oops redo
Kookaburras having a bath, a laugh and a preen
The walking shed. A couple of wooden bars screwed to the inside provided lifting holds…
Portugal- River Douro ( clips not in sequence)
Osprey bathing in the Swan River
There I were, sitting on the banks of the Swan River at Maylands, reading a book.
I look up and see this Osprey taking a cleansing bath.
Less than 20 metres/60 feet, from me
As quick video I took this morning
I put it in the good morning thread too! So twice the value 
Just as a matter of interest has anyone on here made one of those “shorts”?
I am not a fan of the vertical format (the Luddite in me) but they seem to be on the increase, I thought they had to be short but I have seen some several minutes long. My kids are always knocking them out on FB and Instagram.
According to a notice I received from Youtube (along with everybody else) they prefer normal videos to be at least 13 minutes long apparently because it helps “engagement”. For good video makers that may be fine but I think a video I made which was more than a minute or two long would bore the pants off any viewer. I personally prefer shorter videos anyway.
I also understand that their algorithm prefers and promotes videos with a “talking head” ie someone talking to camera, again I can’t see me doing that either. My 15 subscribers have not demanded my presence on film.
Don’t worry I have no illusions that my videos are blockbusters or even very interesting, I just enjoy making them occasionally. (Yep, it’s all about ME not my “audience”)
na na nanana I have 350 subscibers Bruce. no idea why
If it were not for me you’d only have 349!
Hi Bruce. I will never appear on my videos either. I share what I see, that is the soul purpose of uploading videos.
That’s my kind of video! Only 20 second, a number of 2-5 second clips stuck together, tells the story nicely.
I agree, I think 3 to 4 seconds is about right for the video equivalent of a photo. I used to have an SD Canon video camera which had a feature that took a 4 second shot each time, I found it a great discipline and had it turned on most of the time, unfortunately I couldn’t find a HD camera with the feature - they must have tried and then abandoned it.
These days I still try to keep individual shots to about 4 seconds in the editor and despite YouTube’s edict generally speaking a two to three minute long video is about as long as I can stand except for really good/professional video content makers (they have a 100000+ subscribers and I have 15 for a reason)
