Rootbrian's video blogs, music and other random shit

At least one of the speeches was cut short due to the camera abruptly shutting off during the recording, and refusing to power back on for a few minutes. I can't figure out why this would happen. Music composed for the multiple timelapse segments is my own.

This one was shorter than I expected, and thankfully they had an amplified speaker or I would only have picked up vehicle noise.

I likely missed the introduction of the rally disappointingly, however I got the rest after the music stopped, or maybe it was just starting. Either way, we should hope iran is soon free of it's problems (they need a revolution). The one minute and five second composition for the timelapse (a short, slow moving march) is my own.

Unfortunately I missed the marching band performance. However I got most of the speakers (may have missed more long before the time I followed the small march to where it took place). The language is mandarin. Turn on subtitles/closed captioning for translations (they will be rough). The short timelapse segment of 8 seconds is my own composition.

It's short. It's loud. It's in stereo.

This one was supposed to be a soundtrack, however I changed my mind because of how damn good this one turned out to be. Brutally amazing. The title was chosen on purpose. No tracker, VST or vintage hardware was used in the composition of this one.

This one is comprised of four recordings, one needed fixing up. The step is intentional (you'll notice it). Stereo headphones are strongly recommended when listening.

This one took half the night to put together. Enjoy. Stereo headphones are recommended when listening.

Removing echo is extremely difficult (outright impossible), However, this wasn't done in the usual sense. Stereo headphones are strongly recommended.

There are limits in terms of freedom of speech and expression. That also includes letting extremist minority figures, groups and dangerous cults dominate your platform, among criminal activity, and letting that get in the way. This can result in CEO's getting arrested (such as what happened with telegram). I would hate to see the same thing happen to rumble, however, i'm just another content creator who uses multiple different platforms to produce and share his videos (I don't depend solely on one platform - which is a mistake most make).

First time filming planes in action, many mishaps, many lessons learned, many edits to correct them, however things turned out great.

Had I went further east, I would have most definitely missed the parade. Music from two marching bands and one performing on a flatbed was used for this parade's audio (and it was reversed).

Extra footage that didn't fit in with the air show. Enjoy the soundtrack (entirely my own).

I had to leave early to record another event, so I missed the march. The stopping of the airshow was impossible due to being largely outnumbered (over 200 cops vs 60-75 protestors wouldn't have been fair).

Few things I wanted to put out there: -Never unplug or swap equipment during a jam or a show (one of the mistakes made by another band member - You'll see it) - it can ruin it big time. -I forgot to record a brilliant 8 minute jam session, one big "D'OH!!!!" moment occurred once I realised it wasn't recording upon it's conclusion. -I skipped recording the cover artists I jammed with, due to content ID/copyright issues. We all know what happens with that. -Technical issues (a glitch making it lossless being one of them, despite not specifying said profile, filling up a 1TB SSD) regarding the video clips and the editor getting into a fight resulted in having to restart the rendering process multiple times over. All in all, the multiple jam sessions went pretty smoothly. I had things setup and ready far ahead of time, along with everyone else, except one band member who decided to take the complex route (something I don't prefer to do).

I'm calling them out for it, including the outright junk they're promoting (selling). Can be found on aliexpress (mistakenly said alibaba), ebay and other sites for far less, not to mention it could easily do more harm than good - especially since most of the junk can be actually radioactive (could end up in the hospital and never know why, until it's too late) Science part is below. Cellular radio frequencies (the delusional, lunatic fringe often lump ALL wireless tech together as "EMF" - Which is very incorrect.), bluetooth and wireless lan, among others, are not harmful to humans or animals (including your pets). If that were so, our population would be dwindling due to mass-human and animal die-offs related to so-called cancer and radiation poisoning. Anything wireless (there are so many products out there - two-way radios/HAM, AM/FM/SW radios, routers, bluetooth accessories, NFC, you name it) - would then be banned. That isn't at all the case, since none of that is harmful.

Surprisingly the audio did NOT need to be cleaned up or amplified. I was surprised at how good it picked up allan's voice, despite all of the loud vehicles driving by.

Not being able to access the flip-open display is a problem in terms of checking if it's recording, especially if I hit part of the button and not the whole thing, or I happened to bounce my finger off of it twice (which happened to the last video), or checking remaining runtime (battery status). Protecting my equipment from water damage is a high priority, and that comes with it's own set of problems.

The last clip, I forgot to amplify the audio and was about to pack in the camera until I heard an announcement. I missed one speech due to assuming it was still recording (using the rain shield, I cannot flip open the display to check) when it wasn't, only after I noticed the lens cover was closed.

This was a short one, from 4:30pm until 8:30pm. I pretty much rushed from downtown (with the help of a subway trip) to catch this one, and only got one speech, the final one announcing the wrapping up of the flash protest (what they call an "action"). Time crunches suck! There were 22 police vehicles, one fire services and an ambulance present. One person got assaulted by a JDL supporter.

Not tolerating buggy "USB ethernet" onboard networking.

Video was sharpened due to autofocus somehow turning itself OFF again. Low-pass filter applied during the last final speech due to the microphone being too close to the speaker, resulting in loud, irritating non-stop tweets.

Autofocus was turned off, so had to sharpen this video. Hopefully it isn't a malfunction of the camera itself. I need to rule it out. Soundtrack produced is my own. Enjoy.

The soundtrack replaces the original corrupted audio.
