it is very normal for me to use two
0:02
creamer packets I'm going to attempt to
0:05
only use one and see if there's much of
0:08
a taste difference you can tell I've
0:10
already popped the top and procured it
0:15
down to the bottom there insert its a
0:19
cup be gentle Oh
0:34
I guess I could just throw it away I
0:34
don't know why I'm showing this welcome
1:05
everyone yeah damn the woo here another
1:11
day another indoor episode something
1:14
that I really am not getting used to it
1:16
is does not it messes with my head quite
1:19
a bit I am used to being outdoors
1:21
traveling seeing things getting the
1:24
fresh air
1:25
but for now inside these four six nine
1:30
inside a bunch of walls
1:32
I guess the de shell shell the house
1:36
before walls anyway today I'm going to
1:40
be focusing on the process the camera
1:44
equipment and how I go about putting
1:47
these little things together been doing
1:49
it for over 10 years on this platform
1:51
but I would say within the last three or
1:53
four on a prominent consistent upload
1:57
schedule I've been doing it the same way
1:59
and I figured I'd just share the info
2:02
with you if you're interested just nod
2:05
your head yes I'm inviting you to join
2:09
me I think I prefer the two but it's
2:15
still pretty good with one drinkable
2:19
shall you
3:07
yeah I know my forms not really the best
3:07
but opened over time as I get a little
3:09
stronger and drop some weight we had to
3:12
go all the way to the floor and pull the
3:15
arms in a bed
3:41
that pretty much works everything
3:41
trust me I completely understand that is
3:42
not the most attractive thing nor
3:44
exciting thing to watch but I have to
3:47
put just a little snippet in it keeps me
3:49
motivated when I see myself doing that
3:52
watching it back I think goodness
3:56
gracious
3:57
I am out of shape back in the day I used
3:59
to use my cell phone to film what I
4:02
still do occasionally but now I just
4:04
mostly use it for editing I'll get to
4:07
that a little bit later I have a few
4:09
different cameras I will use mostly
4:11
starting with the one I use less
4:13
frequently is the Canon 70d DSLR and you
4:21
can see over here on the corner I have
4:24
this little it's like a wind stopper you
4:27
can make this pretty much out of
4:29
anything if you give it a supply store
4:32
you just go in buy a little of this
4:34
carpet II type of item and velcro if you
4:39
look down in there there is some velcro
4:40
you cut the velcro to where one side of
4:45
the stickiness goes against the side of
4:47
the camera itself you do have to put it
4:50
around the microphone hole however a
4:53
completely defeats the purpose so you
4:55
put a layer above the hole below the
4:58
hole and then you put the other side of
5:01
the sticky on this little fluffy part
5:04
and then stick it on so the noise gets
5:07
through the fluffiness but the wind is
5:11
stopped and it helps considerably
5:13
you can also buy different ones you know
5:16
if some of camera supply shops that are
5:19
already already made like similar to
5:21
this which is another camera that I have
5:24
which is a mirrorless this is the Canon
5:27
I always want to say a six but in
5:31
reality it's a AOS m6 I always want to
5:34
say a six but m6 but back to these
5:37
little fluffy things so as you can find
5:40
these online and other camera gear
5:43
places so this is something you don't
5:45
have to go to a craft store to make they
5:47
already come in the circle goes a
5:49
and the microphone I think there might
5:51
be two microphones on the top of this he
5:54
put the circle of velcro around it and
5:56
then you stick these little items right
5:58
on top so when you're out in the gusty
6:00
winds especially like in the desert or
6:02
on the seashore
6:03
it really helps another thing I like
6:06
about this particular model is that you
6:08
can attach this lens to it which is a
6:11
wide-angle and not a zoom it's just a
6:15
wide-angle lens a 1018 which means you
6:18
can pull way back so if I was in like
6:22
this at an 18 and I wanted to go to a 10
6:25
without even shifting my body or taking
6:28
a step back it would go back to about
6:31
there which is really great if you're
6:33
like right up on someone who wants to be
6:35
interviewed and there's a crowd behind
6:38
you you cannot back up or if you're
6:39
trying to get an entire frame rate of a
6:42
building however I am very tempted and
6:45
it becomes a little kind of obnoxious in
6:48
a way because I am holding on to this
6:51
and as I'm filming
6:52
I will constantly be doing this just
6:55
that is like a habit so the footage
6:57
becomes not very stable and over time I
7:01
have tried to like not touch this so
7:03
it's a lot easier for me to use the
7:04
camera I'm using now which is the canon
7:07
g7x mark ii that is what i am filming
7:10
with because i do not have that
7:12
temptation to constantly be using this
7:15
as a pointer i could just point with my
7:18
finger and instead of kind of shifting
7:22
back and forth with that but i do this i
7:24
use this sometimes but not too often
7:26
anymore not that I ever really attached
7:28
this but this goes up to a 250 it's not
7:31
not a super zoom but it's a pretty good
7:33
zoom I use this at Mount Rushmore put
7:36
the camera on a tripod and kind of just
7:40
went all the way up to the faces of the
7:43
presidents the only downfall of this is
7:45
you can't have to be not only standing
7:48
perfectly still you really need a tripod
7:50
if you're going all the way to 250 I've
7:52
only used this a handful of times but it
7:54
does come in handy you know occasionally
7:57
for certain for certain events it has
7:59
the flip LCD screen which you could turn
8:01
Tour
8:02
you are away from you as well I also
8:04
like this one because it there's really
8:06
no audio issues with like buffering or
8:09
making little popping sounds on the peas
8:11
and the t's no issues either with the m6
8:15
when it comes to audio pretty much
8:18
crystal clear the only real problem I
8:20
have with this model is when I'm
8:22
focusing on something even outdoors in
8:25
good light when I shift quickly like if
8:28
I was to go over to this one in a fast
8:31
motion it would go out of focus so I
8:33
have to really hold the frame really
8:37
really well and it's not very good in
8:39
low-light as comparison to the one I'm
8:41
holding at the moment all three of these
8:43
run on SD cards which is when you're
8:45
filming that's where all the footage is
8:47
stored on this one slides into the side
8:49
that one goes down into the bottom also
8:52
the battery compartment that goes in I
8:55
use a lot of batteries most the time I
8:59
just carry them around in these ziplock
9:02
bags so you have one cameras batteries
9:05
there I have maybe like four or five for
9:08
the m6 the g7x some of them are on the
9:11
charger but normally I have like seven
9:13
or eight at one time and I carry an
9:15
extra SD card constantly in case one is
9:18
corrupt or if one gives out or one gets
9:21
filled up which rarely happens but I do
9:24
carry an extra one just in case and if
9:26
I'm shifting cameras if I have this bag
9:28
in my pocket I will take an extra SD
9:31
card from that one put it in there etc
9:33
etc and here is the third cameras
9:38
batteries there are I've got a lot of
9:40
batteries three bags full
9:45
and these aren't even all of them
9:46
somewhere among the chargers this guys a
9:47
constant struggle more or less to keep
9:49
these things charged because the longer
9:52
you have them in there they're not
9:54
inexpensive so you really have to invest
9:56
wisely you don't want to buy the cheap
9:58
off brands too much I've discovered by
10:01
getting the real brand they last a
10:03
little longer and as it goes off you
10:05
have months and years or even longer
10:08
than that they don't even hold a charge
10:09
quite as long so you need multiples you
10:13
got to have a back
10:14
log carry around with you just in case
10:17
switched over to my iPhone for now just
10:20
to get these couple this little segment
10:22
to show that g7x mark two they have
10:25
created a new model since I purchased
10:27
this one whoever I always I still stick
10:31
with the mark two for now maybe one day
10:33
I will upgrade it is pointed down at the
10:35
Baggies and the other cameras this is
10:38
the majority I would say 75% of the time
10:41
of everything that you watch recently in
10:44
the last couple of years is filmed on
10:47
this this is a Manfrotto
10:50
tripod I like it because it's a very
10:52
stable it does not buckle it does not
10:55
Bend it's not going anywhere when it's
10:57
like kind of stanchion down to the
11:00
ground and it has this little button
11:02
where you can shift it you can see how
11:04
that just shifted can also see I've
11:07
added a wind protector to this one as
11:10
well and the the limbs extends in so
11:15
when you turn it off that lens will go
11:17
completely flat and closed as opposed to
11:20
the others like this one which just kind
11:22
of stays the same this one just kind of
11:24
tucks away and hides from everything and
11:26
the powers off it's also very subtle but
11:29
I feel like the audio is not as strong
11:30
and poignant when using the phone I'm
11:34
not sure if you picked up on that or not
11:36
when you're done and want to start
11:38
editing what I do is I pull the SD card
11:41
out of the side or the bottom whichever
11:45
model you're using and then you procure
11:49
it into the bottom of this mechanism
11:51
which sometimes you can find a stores
11:53
best by occasionally randomly luck of
11:57
the draw will have them but better off
11:59
just getting them offline
12:02
it's pretty awesome just just sticks in
12:05
there and then this goes on the bottom
12:06
of your phone dump it into your camera
12:09
roll and iMovie it or whatever your
12:11
other preference for editing software is
12:13
away it's rather simple honestly for me
12:17
it's just muscle memory I've been doing
12:19
it for so long but you open the app hit
12:21
create project it gives you the option
12:23
for trailer or
12:26
movie and I click on movie dump the file
12:28
isn't so I'm recording this Hulk Hogan
12:31
hockey Voorhees mask and then hit stop
12:36
of Wilson that's a little out of focus
12:40
just touch the screen it goes into focus
12:44
Wilson wearing some headphones and there
12:48
goes Creed t hit record obviously I'm
12:56
gonna be dumping the footage in from my
12:58
phone but you could do it from the SD
13:00
card as well which is what I normally do
13:02
and after they're all put into iMovie I
13:05
just scroll through it automatically
13:08
does it automatically does this little
13:11
deal where you have to kind of take the
13:14
transition which fades it I'm not really
13:17
too big on the fade ends so I just do
13:21
that level them all off detach each
13:25
piece of audio so for example I do that
13:30
then I hit detach go over here stop
13:43
recording this whole Cogan hockey
13:43
Voorhees mask yes I am it's so I take
13:49
this stop and I just kind of fade that
13:52
over take this hit fade shift it in so
13:56
that there's no it's dramatic
14:09
buffer there and stop Wilson see and
14:09
then it cuts right into that head stop
14:15
just touch the screen that goes into
14:17
focus
14:18
Wilson wearing some headphones he is
14:22
slide that over take this fade it out so
14:27
there's nothing abrupt cuts it record
14:30
Zenoss do the same with this but uh this
14:36
is obviously just an example sometimes
14:40
you have to just kind of make it so
14:42
there's no dead space there there we go
14:45
some headphones hit record obviously I'm
14:50
you go to the end okay take that fade it
14:56
out then I watch the whole thing back
14:58
obviously this is very short but
14:59
sometimes I have 15 20 30 minutes I
15:01
always rewatch the whole thing to make
15:03
sure it turns out how I want it to
15:06
recording this never want to glitch I
15:12
never want the audio to be off and stop
15:14
Wilson say BAM
15:16
I didn't notice just touch the screen
15:18
look at that guy Wilson wearing some
15:23
headphones yes hit record
15:25
yep there he is preteen obviously I'm
15:29
phone yep I did you could do it from the
15:31
SD card as well very true you can't okay
15:34
and that's it now it has been one heck
15:36
of a long time since I sat in front of
15:38
my computer computer and edited the last
15:42
ones most likely were Forrest Gump
15:44
filming locations and National Lampoon's
15:47
Gorn those three filming locations which
15:51
have been quite a while ago now I do use
15:53
us to surf the internet research stuff
15:55
by the way this is my office but in all
15:58
reality nearly everything that you have
16:00
watched that I've ever put out is
16:04
uploaded and edited on this mechanism no
16:09
not salacious now this this mechanism
16:11
keep in mind though that
16:14
has their own way of doing things this
16:16
is just my way use whatever you are more
16:20
comfortable with whether it be a camera
16:22
a phone GoPro or other recording device
16:26
and edit what you want to edit or keep
16:29
my printer down on the floor underneath
16:31
the desk kind of tucked away I have the
16:35
wireless mouse here next to the also
16:39
wireless keyboard and you might be
16:41
asking why do you have a keyboard when
16:44
you have a laptop right there that
16:46
keyboard stopped working about two or
16:47
three years ago and I haven't bought a
16:49
new laptop yet so I just attached this
16:53
and it kind of attaches up to it
16:56
wirelessly and I use this and I always
17:01
have some kind of air circulating in all
17:05
the rooms this one included
17:13
I just gotta stay cool I rarely run the
17:13
AC I probably run the air conditioner
17:15
the entire time I've lived in Southern
17:19
California maybe a dozen times it's just
17:23
something I really really never utilized
17:25
I just open the windows and run the fans
17:28
someone made me this a long time ago
17:31
it's like a drink holder and I put my
17:34
coaster
17:35
so my beverage on there sometimes I have
17:37
my coffee or juice or soda or whatnot
17:41
I'll put it right there as I work in
17:43
here speaking of other things people
17:45
made me when I did a thousand vlogs in a
17:48
row that was right there someone gifted
17:52
that to me it's a version of Bigfoot
17:55
we're in a very sweet jacket the foot
18:01
1,000 days in a row
18:03
hard to believe I went five years 1911
18:07
in a row without missing a day good
18:11
times
18:12
oh look who's over here there's a
18:16
stranger familiar face though too many
18:19
hey Lincoln here looking upward from the
18:24
seat I am greeted by a couple hats got a
18:29
old-school Epcot Center cap there on the
18:31
far left and then an Epcot 35 in the
18:36
middle next to Hogan and that's my out
18:39
of the whoo 100,000 subscriber
18:42
congratulations little placard right
18:48
there on the right I never got one for
18:50
the daily whoo I kind of dropped the
18:52
ball on that never got a hold of them
18:54
and gave them an address lounge around
19:01
just kind of stretch out either on the
19:03
loveseat or the couch when I had my RV
19:07
to edit in the RV just laying around
19:10
could drive for a while sit in the front
19:13
seat you know edit for a while put the
19:15
phone back down continue to drive same
19:18
with
19:18
or if I'm out and about somewhere let's
19:20
say I'm out of park I could just sit on
19:23
the bench and edit for a while put some
19:25
headphones in or in the comfort of your
19:28
own house
19:29
just relax at some point when I pull out
19:33
to go back out to stores and shop for
19:36
non essentials I need something for this
19:39
above the couch this area here is barren
19:44
this is what happens when you are stuck
19:47
indoors for a long period of time you
19:50
rearrange the cupboards so got plenty of
19:54
canned goods
19:55
I still got quite a bit in the fridge
19:57
left haven't been eating a ton
20:01
I've been eating but I haven't been
20:03
eating a ton come rationing still
20:07
haven't touched the Mountain Dew and
20:08
since I've been back in California
20:10
they're just sitting there
20:12
I call them my name but I haven't been
20:14
tempted for whatever reason however
20:19
speaking of temptation time to dive into
20:23
a little more of this fruit tray an
20:26
assortment of goodness here some grapes
20:31
some cantaloupe and Kiwi perhaps as
20:42
always I've saved you a seat right next
20:47
to me
21:00
that's good the day the perfect camera
21:00
comes out one that is good on low light
21:03
one that has no sound issues one that
21:06
has no workarounds the perfect for a
21:10
little bit of a wide angle a little bit
21:12
of a good zoom a little bit of nothing
21:15
that is going to really hinder I don't
21:21
even know what I'm saying because
21:23
honestly there is no perfect camera that
21:26
I have found yet the one I am recording
21:29
on pull the canon g7x mark ii is
21:43
probably my favorite however speaking of
21:47
those sound issues there is a little bit
21:50
of a little bit of a trick a little bit
21:52
of a tip that i'm going to share with
21:54
you if you have used it you will notice
21:56
when you are talking let's say you just
21:58
hit record and you start to talk that
22:01
your peas and your T's will do a real
22:05
loud like a buffer sound so what I will
22:09
do at the start of every clip I will say
22:12
what I'm going to say the first two
22:15
words a little louder than the rest of
22:16
the clip and as it continues let's say
22:19
it's a 20-second clip I will have no
22:22
sound buffer issues for example welcome
22:27
everyone I'll say that twice will say
22:30
welcome it welcome everyone Adam knew
22:33
here and then in the editing process I
22:37
will cut off those first couple of
22:38
syllables and then I will so when people
22:41
are watching me film they think I'm
22:43
absolutely insane
22:54
that's gonna do it for today if you're
22:54
new here please subscribe i doing so
22:57
helps keep you I loop adopted a few
22:59
troubles here on this channel take a
23:00
step further
23:07
bring that notification ago if you
23:07
enjoyed this particular so give it a big
23:09
E's thumbs up
23:21
hmm
23:21
see in the next video
23:31
the vlog
23:31
it's over a final footnote these are
23:34
units that no longer work that screen
23:37
doesn't close this lens is not retract
23:41
and the other one I'm not sure three
23:46
that don't work and just just have them
23:51
in a box somewhere
