The first vlog will be released, the plan anyway, 18Aug19. It took most of the day to record and edit the first one. A lot of this was due to corners I tried to cut. I knew better, I did them anyway. Light and Sound. I had to run the footage through denoiser because I …
Launch Assist Recovery Computer – LARC
If you've seen much of my early blog entries they were about electronic components - Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, 3D Printers (RAMPS). The last 7 years of work I've done with each of these projects has inspired my kids. It should come as no surprise one of my sons (in Civil Air Patrol as a cadet …
What I learned today from multicam vlog shoots
I've recorded a bunch of multicam shoots over the last 22 years. Most have been recording single cameras then put those cameras together. However, they run continuously. Much, much easier to sync. Today, I was sporadic when recording. I tried to shoot like I would a sitcom - that did not work as well. I …

“Work-work-work” – Hoban Washburne
I was having issues processing all of the video I needed. I hooked up a second keyboard to make macros for editing faster. AND I found out my mid-2011 iMac would accept 32GB RAM... soooooooooooo I upgraded my ram from 20 to 32. You wouldn't think 12GB would make much of a difference - you …
Mac Meltdown
I have no idea what's going on with my iMac right now. It restarted earlier today and ever since it came back up it's had zero network support. I have restored to previous versions from TimeMachine and nothing. Just a minute ago it restarted and went to the restore page and wanted me to install …

I have requirements for my day:yogameditateself confidence workwalk 2-5 miles30 minutes on a stationary bikeTRX (suspension trainer) workout for upper and lower bodyPull up …
What I didn’t consider about vlogging
I have three cameras running and my phone that I talk into when I want to make a small note - sometimes I talk directly into one of the other cameras. All of this is super easy to sync with Adobe Premiere. No worries there. Two cameras are on tripods and the third, the Crosstour, …
Todays Vlog Entries
Today was rough. Super hot. With the AC out it makes a lot of recording limited due to noise. I either have to record super early in the morning or late into the evening which becomes early morning as that's when I can shut down the window unit and the noise will be minimal. I …
Blogging about vlogging
I'm a planner so this is where I get some thoughts out while I'm getting my video equipment squared away while also getting footage for the first vlogs to come out. I've decided to film each segment and pull them together over a week then schedule releases. That's mostly because the segments are themed. I've …
Week of Tests and Relaxing
I spent the last week testing each of my different cameras in different situations to check for picture quality, audio quality, size of files, and more. I also spent it relaxing in Florida - in addition to daily work I needed to do. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the audio I needed for several videos because …
