WoVs: Post mortem

Well, that didn't go quite to plan.
In short: I've been busy! Deal with it!

I think in future I shall commit only to posting when there's something to post about; which if I'm honest there actually has been.

Needless to say I have some footage which I have to upload, and I suspect there will be plenty more because my good friend Matt is on his way over :)

It so happens that the house I'm in is directly underneath the approach.
Let's see if I can capture the approach!


And it just so happens that it's the first Friday of the month, and in Phoenix that means art and such. Really there are far too many opportunities for videoing.



Oh as an aside, I'd like to say well done to the Blogger team for not being as lazy a as me, there latest update is very, very sexy.

WoVs 3: Eating strawberries

Yep, it's definitely the heat...


Notes:
  1. These are Camel Crush.
  2. Yes, there is such a thing as Strawberry Crush.

You disgust me Phoenix

Now astute readers will have noticed that I have failed to post up a video each day, but hear me out: You may think this is because I realised that I wasn't doing anything even remotely interesting enough to justify videoing, and you would be correct.

However whilst perusing down-town Phoenix on Google maps I came across this:

I've never posted any OC on /b/ (NSFW),
but I did spend a good five minutes making this
(and another fifteen on knowyourmeme.com (also NSFW)).


Knowing that this arrangement could be on any street corner makes me rather more dubious about walking around filming. If you catch my drift.

WoVs 2: Some chores

In this rather un-interesting video (I could have picked a better week to decide to do this) Jenna and I go to Whole Foods.




At the end I was rather hoping to be clever and drag out the clip to be 3 minutes and 14 seconds long, as per Martin's observation on my post yesterday; however apparently I don't know how to use video editing software. I decided that I'm going to leave it like this because then 3:14 won't become a tradition and I won't spend the rest of the week carefully timing everything.

Deal with it :D

WoVs 1: A trip to ASU

Possibly due to the heat¹, I decided yesterday that it might be fun to make and post a video each day this week (a Week of Videos, WoVs) detailing my day-to-day life. Yesterday I took a trip to ASU...



I don't think this is too bad for a first step into the world of video blogging, although I seem to be overly keen on a few phrases. It certainly felt slightly alien walking along talking into my little Flip (which, as you may have noticed, is a version without image stabilisation!), but the self-consciousness was surprisingly short lived as I noticed everyone around me failed to start screaming and pointing at me.

In the evening we went to see The White Buffalo, which was also fun, and of which I made a video that I shall upload when I've cut it up.



¹ I think it's been up near this temperature before, but certainly not for this long, nor actually outside trying to perform activities:
I apologise for it being in Fahrenheit,
despite my best efforts I've had to that
using Celsius out here isn't going to happen.
