can you do some more videos like this? i live in the dreary depressing US midwest (my state rhymes with misery) and its nice to get a glimpse of the beautiful countryside
I think you did very well filming, the only thing I can thing of is to get a tripod stand for the camera to keep it still, but you really dont need to go out and spend the money on that when you do most of your videos in your home.
Chances are she didn't get much, if anything, from eating one fresh mushroom x) if it even was a psilocybin cap after all!
I quite like this new style of video, but please don't stop doing the talking ones either! I love listening to your voice and hearing your stories, no matter what they're about (though I do like the ones of The Old Days best).
Video tips; the only one I can think of is to pause more often in your commentary to give yourself good times to fade out/cut less obviously.
Great Video Peter, I actually liked the Zooming, showing the heather and textures.
Its only cos you didnt use a tripod thats all. There is an "digital image stabilizer" built in on that camera that you could utilize for the zoom shots, ;-) Great job and commentary! cant wait for to see the next one!
young ladies picking magic mushrooms and having trips with strange men in hybrid cars
is the ticket to long life eh gramps? nice work old man but you might want to get a tripod or even a monopod, but you cant drink tea and hold a monopod at the same time, or can you? i'll check in on you again, magical mushroom man!
The running commentary gives the video it's primary interest.
As for video tips, try not to use the zoom so much. The best button on the video camera is the red on/off one. Zoom in to the point of interest then start the camera again. I've made a couple of videos myself so check these out. All the best dave
Peter, I grew up in Manhattan, Kansas which was in the county called Riley. Manhattan sits in the valley and the hills around are very very similar. Locals call them the Flint Hills. Some of the growth is a bit more sparse, but this video reminded me of roaming those hills 40 plus years ago. I enjoyed your film very much. xoxoxoo
I'm sure you are aware of your Telecom promotion in New Zealand. It's so cool to see you everywhere! You are on a huge banner taking up the entire side of my office building!
Another awesome video! You are THE best Peter! Don't let any other pathetic losers tell you otherwise, you wouldn't have such a devoted following if everyone found you boring as some of these idiots have been posting. Keep doing what you do and I wish you the best of luck with your tour to Germany with the Zimmers. Best wishes from New Zealand!
beautiful views, beautiful coachhouse! Thanks so much for the tour of the moors! What type of camera is it you use? Great pics, nice and steady. Im thinking of getting a camera and was curious what you use. Thanks!
If you want rain, you've picked the right country.
Floods in Northumberland, rivers bursting their banks, etc. People getting killed because of floods. Not good, we are fed up of the rain, it's wiped out our summer, btw, us Brits are used to it!
see, i am fed up with heat. i live in california, near san francisco. it's way too hot right now - i'm waiting for some fog to roll in. i gotta say though, i sure wouldn't enjoy those floods either.
Maybe we could do an exchange for a few weeks. I think you might want to swap back rather quickly though!
Come over in the winter time (say late January) when its -15 degrees C with freezing fog and the Relative Humidity is really high making it feel like -25 degrees C.
pete do you know that new zealand uses on of your videos , to promote and try and sell internet security on telecom broadband , i thought you was a kiwi so i had to look you up , i seen it the other day cos im currently in new zealand , please get back to me
I liked watching your video. It was very good for a first attempt. I would like to do some video's also, but so far have not got it all together to make it work. Thank you for sharing this interesting scenery! You live in a beautiful area!
I think that that was my favourite video that you have made yet. I should film some parts of Missouri for you to see--we have some lovely places as well (though probably not nearly as neat).
I really liked you opening story. It was quite amusing hearing the "magic mushroom" story. :)
I think it is very amazing that you have a hybrid car. Hybrids aren't really commonly bought here and especially not by senior citizens. Very progressive of you.
Thank you for showing us a bit of where you live. It is very pretty, and I learned quite a bit. Don't push yourself to far though for the video. It would have been okay not to make your video in the rain. Just take care of yourself. Thanks
I also see you fade the visuals together which makes the video flow very well but you should also crossfade the audio. I'm not sure what software you use but this should be just as easy as fading visuals and you will get a nice smooth audio track.
If you were keen to continue to do more filming outdoors I would suggest investing in a monopod. They are much easier and lighter than a tripod and just perfect for the stuff you do.
As someone else has said, as a general comment, maybe wait until you've finished a sentence before cutting to the next shot?
I sniggered to myself when you made the side comment about filming children, I couldn't agree more.
Gray days are actually not so bad when filming from an artistic point of view. The colours are much better captured by the camera I have learned once by a photographer. The sun doesnt relly do that much to help the picture.
Very nice Peter, thanks for taking us on an outing :-) It's nice to see some of your greater surroundings, it looks like you live in a very nice area.
I find it both ineresting and instructive (for Americans) that all the vehicles seen in your video are small, high mileage ones. I only wish we Americans would all start thinking smaller when it comes to cars.
You did a great job - thanks for the tour. I love the architecture there, we don't have buildings that old here in Canada that I am aware of anyway. I hope you will do some travelogue videos in Germany when you are there for us Peter. Thank you.
That was wonderful. I loved seeing the heather on the hillside! My grandparents were from Dundee. I see everyone is driving the same car! I really enjoyed this!
This is great Peter! You seemed to have gotten the video camera work down pretty well. Looking forward to more of this. I really liked the introductory story too. Nice car by the way.
Oh I love this, so nice to see the surrounding countryside where you live. Loved the coach house; would absolutely Love to go there!
And I adore your little Toyota hybrid car! Never seen that model before, and know it's definately not available here in Canada. Please tell me what model it is, as I am most curious.
I'm sorry I have no critique to offer you on your outdoor videoing skills. I doubt I could have done such a good job :)
Hmm well if it is a Prius, I guess that's cool. Priced at $38,284,81 Cdn, including taxes, pdi, and all of the other b.s. they add on, plus I daresay there would be other charges amounting to a couple of grand on top of that, it seems to be en expensive endeavour.
Originally I wanted to trade in my old '02 Honda Accord SE for a new honda hybrid. I found out they're no longer available, due to lack of demand.
Aparently, not many people could afford to buy them, at a price nearly 48K.
I like the Smart Four-Two's that have been on sale, but I really wish they would give you the option of the European engines. They got 50 mpg, compared to the paltry 34mpg that they are rate for here.
Hybrid technology is fine, but I enjoy the vehicles that just happen to have it built in, like the Ford Escape or the Honda Civic hybrids. The Prius looks funny, and just isn't an attractive car IMHO.
Well don't forget in the USA, they have a smaller gallon, so there is no comparison to a true, Imperial gallon of 160 ounces. They call a quart 32oz. and a pint 16 oz., whereas in Canada and the UK it is a 40 oz. quart and a 20 oz. pint. So when they rate mpg in the USA, they are talking about a 128 oz. gallon.
The Accord hybrid is great, but at $31,122.30 Cdn. including taxes, pdi, etc., plus all the other fees, it's less than the Prius, but still expensive.
The smart cars aren't that practical where I live. They don't do well in a big snowstorm, when you're trying to commute in the winter. People ran out and bought them, and are now trying to get rid of them.
Well I went to the auto trader site, and there's about two dozem listed for sale in the southern Alberta region. I guess they're fine for some people; a lot probably have more than one vehicle.
Oh, and I made a mistake in my previous message. I typed Accord hybrid where I should have said Civic hybrid. Sorry about that :)
That's not good news for BMW. They had some money riding on Canada...but when you have bitter cold in the Winter (with exception of Vancouver, let's say), that doesn't surprise me.
I think we should just ride scooters and mopeds...with hockey pads. That would be attractive, and functional. I'll take a goalie mask, just to make it one complete package.
Lol! Hahahahaaaa well I daresay sooner or later it will come to that. I rather think that I won't be participating in such an evolution such as that, as my old bones are way too week and brittle to withstand any mishaps that Certainly would occur. I had my experiences as a 15 yr. old boy, with his 1968 50 cc Honda Sport.
And as if that wasn't enough education on my part, a year later I was riding on my friend's 1953 NSU 500cc single cyl. bike, with a nitro carb., when the head blew off. We both hit the rhubarb, but somehow we wre both unscathed. ;)
Peter, also, does your headset with the boom mic plug into your vid camera. That might help the sound, but it was not all that bad. Ne@ka might benefit from an off camera mic in the video in your sitting room. All I understood was the cold water tap.
Peter, great video and car! I would have paid to have Mrs. Boo-kay to show up on the screen on the dashboard. That inn looks divine.
As to filming... very few videos are not improved by the use of a tripod. I know, they are a pain to carry, but they help a lot. I have seen some creative ones. One was a small bean bag on which you can rest the camera. Another was a kitchen knife with a string tied to it. The other end was around the bold in the bottom of the camera...
One stands on the knife and puts tension on the string by holding the camera high enough to make the string tight. No, its not as good as a tripod but its a breeze to put in your pocket. There was a saying in my camera clube, "there are too kinds of tripods, the bad ones and the ones that weigh as much as France." There are also classy looking walking sticks that unscrew at the top to make a monopod.
Be well and keep on shooting and hug Winnie for me!
Great work peter. I have an 1867 Authors Edition of Charles Dickens "David Copperfield. Mr. Copperfield came to America that year to tour. Has anyone told you how attractive you are lately? Don't misunderstand I'm an old heterosexual myself! You are a joy to follow.
Thanks for the this video showing us abit of your countryside. So what if it was abit rough around the edges, I enjoyed it, nice personal touch to it..I look forward to additional mini-tour videos
Your video was fine just as it is! I wish you would have gone into the old coach house though, and maybe got some film in there, had a cup of coffee, etc?
I prefer your blogs. But, I am sure you will improve on this. Why not try more interviews? What happened to your campaign to get more elderly people using videos? Since you started that campaign, has it changed anyone elses life like it changed yours? Good luck to you Peter. Spend your time doing what you want to do and enjoy, that will shine through on your videos.

Oh Peter, it made me feel so nostalgic seeing the moors of my childhood again! I must go back. I don't think there was anything wrong with your video that a bit of sunshine could put right!
I thought you did a very good job Peter....for filming outside for the first time. The only advise I would give is to pause the recording when cars drive by...so your narrative could be heard better.
You're awesome. I wish you were my grandfather. And yes, our world is horrible nowadays, but I take take all the good things that exist and incorporate them into my life.
And by saying how much nicer the world is now, do you mean by how people's morals have been completely shattered?? Sure there hasn't been any major wars, but does that mean our world is really better??

Hmm well if it is a Prius, I guess that's cool. Priced at $38,284,81 Cdn, including taxes, pdi, and all of the other b.s. they add on, plus I daresay there would be other charges amounting to a couple of grand on top of that, it seems to be en expensive endeavour.
Originally I wanted to trade in my old '02 Honda Accord SE for a new honda hybrid. I found out they're no longer available, due to lack of demand.
Aparently, not many people could afford to buy them, at a price nearly 48K.

I like the Smart Four-Two's that have been on sale, but I really wish they would give you the option of the European engines. They got 50 mpg, compared to the paltry 34mpg that they are rate for here.
Hybrid technology is fine, but I enjoy the vehicles that just happen to have it built in, like the Ford Escape or the Honda Civic hybrids. The Prius looks funny, and just isn't an attractive car IMHO.

Well don't forget in the USA, they have a smaller gallon, so there is no comparison to a true, Imperial gallon of 160 ounces. They call a quart 32oz. and a pint 16 oz., whereas in Canada and the UK it is a 40 oz. quart and a 20 oz. pint. So when they rate mpg in the USA, they are talking about a 128 oz. gallon.
The Accord hybrid is great, but at $31,122.30 Cdn. including taxes, pdi, etc., plus all the other fees, it's less than the Prius, but still expensive.

Cont.:
The smart cars aren't that practical where I live. They don't do well in a big snowstorm, when you're trying to commute in the winter. People ran out and bought them, and are now trying to get rid of them.
sheldon80 3 years ago
I never thought of that. When I was in Toronto in 05, I saw them everywhere. Are they really being offloaded that quickly?
tak178 3 years ago
Well I went to the auto trader site, and there's about two dozem listed for sale in the southern Alberta region. I guess they're fine for some people; a lot probably have more than one vehicle.
Oh, and I made a mistake in my previous message. I typed Accord hybrid where I should have said Civic hybrid. Sorry about that :)
sheldon80 3 years ago
Two dozen?
That's not good news for BMW. They had some money riding on Canada...but when you have bitter cold in the Winter (with exception of Vancouver, let's say), that doesn't surprise me.
I think we should just ride scooters and mopeds...with hockey pads. That would be attractive, and functional. I'll take a goalie mask, just to make it one complete package.

Lol! Hahahahaaaa well I daresay sooner or later it will come to that. I rather think that I won't be participating in such an evolution such as that, as my old bones are way too week and brittle to withstand any mishaps that Certainly would occur. I had my experiences as a 15 yr. old boy, with his 1968 50 cc Honda Sport.
sheldon80 3 years ago
And as if that wasn't enough education on my part, a year later I was riding on my friend's 1953 NSU 500cc single cyl. bike, with a nitro carb., when the head blew off. We both hit the rhubarb, but somehow we wre both unscathed. ;)

Peter, also, does your headset with the boom mic plug into your vid camera. That might help the sound, but it was not all that bad. Ne@ka might benefit from an off camera mic in the video in your sitting room. All I understood was the cold water tap.
Ah, those were the days.
Be well, my friend!

Peter, great video and car! I would have paid to have Mrs. Boo-kay to show up on the screen on the dashboard. That inn looks divine.
As to filming... very few videos are not improved by the use of a tripod. I know, they are a pain to carry, but they help a lot. I have seen some creative ones. One was a small bean bag on which you can rest the camera. Another was a kitchen knife with a string tied to it. The other end was around the bold in the bottom of the camera...
FSTOPDR 3 years ago
One stands on the knife and puts tension on the string by holding the camera high enough to make the string tight. No, its not as good as a tripod but its a breeze to put in your pocket. There was a saying in my camera clube, "there are too kinds of tripods, the bad ones and the ones that weigh as much as France." There are also classy looking walking sticks that unscrew at the top to make a monopod.
Be well and keep on shooting and hug Winnie for me!

Great work peter. I have an 1867 Authors Edition of Charles Dickens "David Copperfield. Mr. Copperfield came to America that year to tour. Has anyone told you how attractive you are lately? Don't misunderstand I'm an old heterosexual myself! You are a joy to follow.

Very good Peter. You could maybe get less jerky panoramic shots using a mini tripod, which would rest nicely on those drystone walls.

I prefer your blogs. But, I am sure you will improve on this. Why not try more interviews? What happened to your campaign to get more elderly people using videos? Since you started that campaign, has it changed anyone elses life like it changed yours? Good luck to you Peter. Spend your time doing what you want to do and enjoy, that will shine through on your videos.

I thought you did a very good job Peter....for filming outside for the first time. The only advise I would give is to pause the recording when cars drive by...so your narrative could be heard better.

I'm hardly an expert videographer, but I think your camera work is perfectly fine. A little shake, but you'll get some of that when it's handheld.
