Off to Europe
Since I started this job 7 years ago, I don’t think I’ve ever been so ready to jump in a plane and head off to work as I was when I left for this trip. This past month was really heavy. It was a tough emotional month. And, if felt like it just dragged on and on. I’m really thankful for this month, too, though. It’s been a bit eye-opening. I think it’s pulled me back to being the person I really am; and made me realize what I want moving forward. I’m really grateful for all the challenges of this past month because they brought me to a better place personally. But, it was definitely a slog. My trip to Europe was a bit of a roundabout because I had no idea what projects were going to happen, or where I needed to be. So, a while ago, I just booked a flight to Paris. It was cheap as chips. I paid 120usd from Toronto to Paris. Like, how does that even happen? Sketchy Landing On my quick layover in Iceland I was reminded of how wild it can be there. When we were landing, the wind was...
A Slice of Cadaques in 4K
In an attempt to kind of make my videos a bit more dynamic, I’m trying out a couple different styles of videos and episodes. All of them are still going to be “vlog-style”, but some less than others. My general goal is to make this YouTube channel feel less like 1 show with 7 episodes a week, but rather 6 or 7 different shows that each play on a weekly basis. I think this will keep more people happy, allow for more variety to the content, and most importantly give me a couple days where the filming process is different and less mundane. One of the episode styles that I’m starting is called “4k Friday”. And, that is exactly what it sounds like. Each Friday (although the episodes and blogs will likely finally go live Sunday night, which is confusing, I know), the videos will be entirely shot in 4k. Right now, that means that I’m doing the shooting entirely on my Sony A6300. But, eventually I think more of my gear (like my drone, for example) will also shoot 4k. Not only will these episodes be shot in 4k, but they’ll also just simply be more shots, and...
Trekking Through Alberta
This project in Alberta was full-on. The plan was to work 19 days, with a 3 day break in the middle of it. However, my best friend got married on those 3 days between. Well, only one of those days, but you know how weddings are: day 1 = rehersal, day 2 = wedding, and day 3 = trying to recover. Moreover, I was dealing with a lot of personal issues over that weekend. It wasn’t as relaxing as I had hoped it would be. So, by the time we got back to work on the Google Trekker project, I didn’t have much of a rest. The second half of the project was meant to be a nice mix of locations, though. We were spending some time in the mountains, and some time in the north of Alberta; both locations I was looking forward to. K-Country Kananaskis Country used to be the biggest hidden gem in Alberta. So many tourists jet straight out to the National Parks, leaving K-Country largely to locals and people in the know. Things have changed a bit, and the region is certainly more crowded. However, it’s still mostly quiet. And it’s still incredibly beautiful....
