Free Afternoon + Geese = My Second Youtube Video!

A few weeks ago I went to Richmond, BC to visit my in laws. While enjoying the beautiful sunny skies, readily available bubble tea, and walking through one of Richmond's loveliest parks, we happened upon a family of Canada Geese. Mama and Papa geese were there, along with a handful of cute, fuzzy goslings. I was quick to pull out my still digital camera and fill up my card with short, low resolution films of baby geese waddling around and swimming. I actually erased footage of humans so I could keep films of baby geese that will in all likelihood grow up to crap all over that same park and ruin the lawn. Oh well, such is the artistic temperament. Mixed with a healthy dose of lazy afternoon and cold beer, I present my second YouTube movie. Enjoy.



You may now return from the edge of your seats.

The ending was where I really let myself go and truly explored my inner desire to see geese swimming into themselves. I used to repress my film student geekiness but now I figure I'm almost thirty so I should just give up on being cool. I learned a few things while making this short. Number one: don't bother with titles because you won't be able to read them anyway. Number two: whatever happened to the circle wipe? That's at least half a style point right there and it's never used anymore. Number three: mirror effect is cool, but so is the lightening effect that I could have used to actually aim lightening at the geese and make it look like God was striking them down. Perhaps next time.

I hope this new offering evokes a response. My last YouTube video finally got a comment. The discerning viewer said (and I quote) "HUH?". All caps. Like he was really confused. Thank you ShadowSeeker117 for your valuable input. I'll try to make myself better understood in the future.
