Video Redux

I was sure that I had made some videos to go with photo projects that I had created for The Brown Knowser. There was my Bate Island Project. The Hog's Back Project. And, of course, my 100 Strangers project.

But these videos were not on my Brown Knowser YouTube channel.

Of course, they couldn't have been. These projects were over long before my YouTube channel was created, in late 2019. Had I only shared these videos directly into my blog?

It's surprising to me that I can forget that I had created another YouTube channel, years earlier. For the most part, it was a way for me to share family activities with friends and extended family, but I also experimented with videos that were closer to what I do on this blog.

It wasn't until December, 2019, that I decided to start a new YouTube channel that would exclude family-oriented events (which I had made private, anyway) and only post videos that would be publicly accessible. At the time, I had copied some of my videos over to the new channel—the ones that were intended for public consumption.

But I must have become distracted at one point and not moved my photo-project videos to the new channel.

It's funny how, once I had established the new YouTube channel that I had all but completely forgotten about the old one.

Last week, when I paid the old channel a visit, I discovered these videos and started copying them over to The Brown Knowser channel. But I decided to make some modifications.

When I had created a couple of these videos, I used copyrighted music. Bringing them over to my Brown Knowser channel, I decided to change the soundtracks to royalty-free music. That wasn't an issue with the Hog's Back Project video, as it used free music. But in changing the 100 Strangers video, I had to swap out the music and ended up recreating the video from scratch.

I haven't yet done the same with the Bate Island Project, but I'll likely re-do that one as well.

Stay tuned.

I've also decided to create other photo-project videos, such as compilations of my year-end, best photos of the year posts.

Again, stay tuned.

I'll leave you with the redux version of my 100 Strangers video. Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday!
