I really enjoyed this honest, new style of video. Like you, I don't enjoy the editing process very much. Tedious days of writing scripts, recording voice overs, adding music and transitions, etc. I would also like to explore this method and see how it goes. I think this was very well done and kept my interest throughout the journey. Best of luck on your new adventure!
Thanks for another great video Mark, as a lover of nature I enjoyed watching every bit of it, wabbly or not the pure essence of nature and its beauty was pleasently felt, I love your honesty and how you keep it real, :)
Let loose Mark...looks like you are! I love the wobbly camera, the waffling and the seriousness and silliness. Enjoy your meditation, its like internal medication :) See you again in youtube land.
I've been thinking along similar lines lately. I have made my share of pretty music videos or at least videos with music and experimented a little with more narative forms with my kids and myself talking. I'm not a fan of straight blogs but yours with an elemnet of travel, location and thought provoking comments on where filmaking, youtbe and Tv might be going as well as your personal story was a nice blend of subject matter.that held my interest all the way.
Hi Mark: This is looking and sounding pretty good. Don't worry about the length for now, test the audience and find the sweet spot. You have a great voice and demeanor suitable for this kind of narrative. I believe you may well be on the cutting edge of something. Go for it! Your friend in Ottawa, Rudy from the Facebook group.
@ottawawebdesigners Thanks Rudy, I could have probably added a few more cutaway shots of the scenery, but I'm enjoying just experimenting with different styles...and never done a rap in a video before, he he
@TheStargirl885 Probably can't film during the 10 days, but plan on doing some vids straight after. I remember last time I did it, when it;s over, it's like you just have this energy that makes everyone who meets you smile.
@n334411 Im glad you are still watching my videos. The last time I did vipassana was just before meeting your mum so quite a while ago. keep up your youtube videos, made me giggle, particularly you singing :)
@travelgringo cheers, I thought 13 mins of ranting would be too much to endure for viewers. But it seems not! I'm just experimenting with form and style at the moment. With all the 'pretty pictures' out there, images to music, I want to start making things raw and real, bring the punk ethos to video
Ahhh the pure beauty of The Overlander just waffling on....i love the spontaneous nature of ur work..but i agree...its all about the journey and everything that goes with it..Love how u just lost it just a little bit at the end...ur a funny man...Enjoy!!!!!
btw...very true what you said about the fancy camera work and not telling a story, agree! Lots of dazzle and no substance. It's always got to be about story. =)
I have noticed the same thing you have about Googles move towards convergence of Television Content, Web-Creator Content and Social Media. I am in the process of starting a "Niche" Channel...also something you mentioned.
Also, it was very nice of you to take us along on that hike...and good to hear you are only "just getting started". One day I will get back on the road and am taking notes on where you visit...thanks again!
You and Hobo Traveler are inspiring me to follow in your footsteps. I'm ten years older than you, and I can retire from my job at anytime, with a traditional pension. I just have to make the decision when to go! Then, maybe one day, our paths will cross... :)
That was a really big spider !!! What a beautiful place, thank you for sharing your journeys.Good luck with your meditation in the Philippines. love and peace : )
@apopkaflowerchild There is footage coming of all the amazing wildlife. I saw bearded pigs, proboscis monkeys and some other monkeys I still have to identify

And this is why I continue to watch your videos, enjoy the Vipassana.
Maybe you should ask if you are allowed to do some filming before and after? It would be interesting <3

I enjoyed this one amigo. More so than most of your others. It lets the viewer know who you really are.
