Rockin' the Gauntlet: Natick Mall (Natick, MA)

This is the Epic Journey, of Rockin' the Gauntlet, at the Natick Collection, Natick, Massachusetts.
This is a video attempting to ride all the people-movers in the mall, on a single video.
Downcoverted from 1280x720p, to 720x480x15 @ 3000Kb/s (down from true 3K, or 3072Kb/s, to save a little extra upload time).
This was messed up, almost from the get-go, and you'll see the biggest
Monkey Wrench, and it's effects on some of the people-movers.
Since it's for PATRONS ONLY, an elevator in a Chineese Restraunt was not attempted.
On top of this, there's blunders, ducking security, employee hounding, there was just a lot that went wrong, but nevertheless, you get to see all the movers, but not ride them all, due to the afornemntioned Monkey Wrench that's early in the video.
Apperently, the Flip UltraHD has a 4GB filesize limit, so at that point (1 hour, 4 minutes in), it stops, and saves the file. Camera behaved like it was still going, as I check it after each mover. 2 minutes were lost, but it was mostly walking from one leg of the mall, to the final leg. Camera picked up halfway up an escalator (didn't know this until reviewing footage) with the continuing segment. No movers lost! Bad thing is, you'll have to trust me that this was a continuous event, end-to-end. (With my reputation, it's likely to not be discredited. Those that have been here can verify all were riden, or shown, at least).

Against all odds, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
(Even if it's not 100% perfect.)

Do you know what fixtures the mall elevators use? Definitely my favorite Schindler hydros.

Innovation Vruiser, for the majority.

Concerning that Chinese Restaurant: You should have planned to eat there then you could film that elevator. Just a suggestion.

@ElevatorGuy7200

If I could stomach Chineese Food, maybe so.

(Some I can eat....if prepared "right").

I enjoy your Gauntlet videos! I must say, the JCPenney is this mall is one hella of nice store.

It used to be a Jordan Marsh, which was like a local version of Macy's, yet sometimes makes Nordstrom look dull.

Glad you enjoyed!

Everything that is, is under "Fair Use", but for monitization, it's not worth the risk.

(The rules are way too strict, as Fair Use isn't allowed, hence any vids with it, are not set to run ads.)

[giggleblaggle]

Oh thank you! It's hard for a newbie to know what to do in those types of situations. Also, you are a Youtube partner right? I looked at the qualifications page for becoming a partner and I thought I read that you can't have any copyrighted material on your channel - no exceptions! But you seem to have a little bit here and there. I was thinking of applying at some point but don't want to have to delete some of my best videos.

@giggleblaggle

If you noticed, any vids with background music, that can be figured out, even by a few notes, are NOT monotized.

People do it, though. I play it safe, and either edit out the audio (newer vids I dubbed out the copyrighted stuff, added voiceovers), or just not make coin from it.

[giggleblaggle]

Hey. Quick question for you. I just started monetizing my videos on my channel but I do worry about videos with background music. I notice you have some of that on this video. So I was wondering, do you have this one monetized? I don't know how much background music is acceptable or if it would fall under a fair use claim or what. Any info would be appreciated.
