I’ve really been slacking on the video for the AlCan road trip. Actually on video editing in general, as I technically haven’t finished the last road trip... but I got through all the good bits so.... meh?
ANYWAY, we did this last one a little different so it is taking a new approach. Previous road trips we took as much footage as we remembered to during the trip, and then did audio “narrations” of the trip to fill in the gaps in the story. And that worked... OK. I get the impression it made the video a little boring and a lot revisionist. For this trip, every night we recorded video of what the hell happened. I think my prompt was always “so tell me about today”.
Either way, this is a huge narrative shift from previous video as we both have the nightly retrospective and the video at the time.
Also we were super inconsistent about shooting “at the moment” video so...
W oof.
Interested to see how it turns out! So far it feels a little... frantic, but I guess that is what the kids like... right?

I know how you feel. Sometimes my bucket of video editing gets awfully full. And easy to get lazy about shooting when doing something you enjoy

I really enjoyed watching the interview videos recently that Marty and Moog did for MCM. The one point they brought up when asked about video quality and editing in general was that “quality sound” was their number one concern. As long as you recorded sound well and edit it properly, then everything else will feel solid and professional. I tend to agree, its definitely what separates videos from either being “amateur hour” or “this seems like they had an actual budget”. Sure camera angles and HD video and lighting are important for visual stuff but just the overall watchability and general impression is definitely dependent on the sound not being muffled and nearly useless.
