About this user

I have called this channel TheSydneyLife because I live a life in Sydney. Most of my videos are of my travel in Australia or around the world. I like being able to share my experience with you all, and to give you some insight on the places I visit.

Anyone who has anything negative to say should come say it to my face, and stop hiding behind their keyboard. Deal with the modem time we are in today, and if you don't like me or where society is heading, then dig a hole and crawl in it. Negative writers behind their computers are cowards who never show their face or upload a video of themselves in my opinion.

I have another two channels that are aimed at a different audience. Good for you if you find it. If you don't, your not missing out on much.

Common questions I predict from the millions of fans I have.

What camera do you use?
I use either a Sony Digital Mini DV or a Sony Cybershot camera with it set to fine mode.

Why don't you use a HD digital camera?
All HD digital cameras use MPEG2 compression. That applies to HDV HD and AVCHD. I think AVCHD actually uses H264 compression. The frames are not self contained frames. This means that slicing between frames aren't as precise as DV. MPEG compression uses GOP frames which makes editing slow and just not as good. Quality is better but since it's on YouTube, HQ using 640 by 480 is good enough for me.

What sort of programs do you use?
For photos, I use Adobe Photoshop CS2. For video edits, I use Corel VideoStudio X2 Pro.

What specs and sample rate do you render your videos into for YouTube upload?
I always use H264 which is also called MPEG 4 Part 10. 30 Frames per second at a resolution of 640 by 480 so it's available in HQ. The bitrate is a secret which I can only tell you by a message saying I am awesome. The audio is compressed to AAC, 44.100 kHz at 128 mbps. Stereo or mono does not matter. YouTube converts to mono anyway.

Have you tried any other programs?
Yes, I have tried Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere and a few music programs. I like X2 Pro because it's simple to use and cheap.

Why don't you work?
I decided I didn't want to be like everyone else fighting through peak hour and reporting to someone. I quit to travel the world. Mainly around Australia, Asia, North America and the South Pacific.

When will you get another job?
Not sure, maybe mid 2009. I'm really not looking forward to waking up so early of a morning.

How did you get into the video world?
My passion has always been landscape photography. Over time, I moved away from photography to filming. It 's so much more fun in a lot of ways.
