Skinning the Giant Japanese Mole

This is just a quick and semi-spontaneous follow-up to the video I did way back (almost a full year) about the pocket sized Moleskine Japanese album (the accordion book). Since it's an "unwrapping" video I can't really go back and re-shoot, so you'll have to settle for some bad framing (sorry, ^^; it looked all right when I was setting it up).

Directly uploaded from the camera, no editing, no captions or titles. Maybe I'll add some annotations later, but most any information I might have glossed over or left out I want to leave for another Moleskine video where I talk about the other books I got along with this one.

Well, you could have told us about the paper weight/quality, told us how the accordion is put together, analyze which really gives you more space to draw, small or big... The options are endless. Don't get defensive.

@BeckyAngelix Defensive? You're the one feigning amicability with a passive-aggressive apology for dropping a vague remark like "pointless" with no specifics attached. What do I have to defend? I actually addressed a few of those issues in the video I made the previous year about the pocket-sized version (like how the accordion is put together). Moreover, doesn't comparing the two books side by side and mentioning the page count discrepancy answer your question about drawing space?

[BeckyAngelix]

I'm sorry, but this was so pointless.

[watarukannuzuki]

@BeckyAngelix Why would you be sorry about that? Are you that ashamed of your own opinion that you have to apologize for it in place of elaborating on your remark?

@BeckyAngelix I actually found it helpful, as I'm deciding on which to order ;)

You didn't even anesthetize it before skinning it!
