I did a video of my drive in the Miata to the dentist office and back. I mounted the Wolfang GA420 action camera to my Miata's trunk lid with my magnet camera mount for a rear view angle. Little did I know that the settings were wrong on my camera, so I ended up with a washed out look, and no audio. The frustrations of operating an action camera. Ugh. So, instead of scrapping the footage I chose to make lemonade out of lemons. So here I have set all the washed out clips to "negative", which gives it all a spooky and eerie look. I kinda like this haunted look, actually. Something different! This footage was taken on Tuesday, February 14th, 2023.

Just kidding. I guess the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Beagles in the Super Bowl. Woke-sters in Philadelphia be bumming tonight….

Driving from Overland Park to downtown Kansas City and back, with my camera mounted on the trunk of my Miata for a rear view perspective. It was a cloudy day with cold temperatures and a little bit of rain fall. This video was recorded on Monday, December 12th, 2022.

It was a busy day for the birds at the watering hole, although a raccoon and a squirrel also paid visits. For this video, I decided to speed things up a little bit, when the birds showed up. It's kind of cool to watch their antics in fast motion. These clips were captured by the trail camera on Sunday, December 4th, 2022.

A very curious fox gets close to the trail cam and gazes into its lens. He seems to know he's being watched. After he scurries off, the birds then descend upon the trail cam scene. Not long after, a squirrel shows up to do some goofing off for the cam. Twice he slips when on top of the bird bath, both times recovering what would be an embarrassing fall. He doesn't want that on his resume'! Then after dark, the trail is visited by a thirsty opossum, followed by a little bunny rabbit hopping around in the background.

A green screen video of a Hellcat burnout. I couldn't find a good green screen car burnout on the internet, so I decided to see if I could create one myself. I mainly used Keynote, then took Keynote frames and finished up the editing in iMovie. I have to admit, it didn't turn out too bad! Feel free to use this in your videos.

First came the raccoons in the dark, then came the squirrels and the birds in the morning. One squirrel finds a nut and begins to gnaw on it. A variety of birds migrate to the bird bath and take turns getting drinks. Later on, one squirrel chases another away. And once nighttime sets in, out come the raccoons to make their presence felt at the watering hole. These clips were taken by the train camera on Wednesday, November 30th, 2022.

A green screen I created using Keynote of a red angry bird flying across the frame. Let me know what you think. I'll be making a few more different ones soon.

Another day, another day at the trail cam. On this day, the birds and squirrels were dominant once again, hogging the tree stump and the watering hole. One bird was determined to peck on the frozen ice water to get something to drink. Later in the day, a squirrel gets a drink of water and finds a good nut to run away with.

Trail cam activity from Tuesday, November 29th, 2022. It was another cold November day, as the squirrels and birds were out again. The foxes don't show up until after dark.

An animation I was able to create mainly using Keynote on my new iMac. This animation video was a project to learn and discover all the different features I could find in Keynote to help expand my animation toolbox. Keynote is a little difficult to figure out, especially when you are working with multiple objects and effects.

The trail cam was busy on this day, during daylight and after dark. First a bright red cardinal shows up. Watch as he takes off in flight in slow motion. Then later on, a bunch of the same type of birds flock to the bird bath to get a drink of water, though I'm not sure what kind of birds they were. Then fir the first time, a woodpecker shows up at the trail cam. Later in the evening a few raccoons tangle with the camera again, a fox stops by for a quick drink, and an opossum waddles by twice, the second time to climb up on the tree stump to take a good look around. These clips were taken by the trail camera on Monday, November 28th, 2022.

Zeus gets upset in the car and starts to complain after the driver passed by the Chick-fil-A store without stopping. 

A video of my drive home from work on November 7th, 2022. I took a different route this day, taking Merriam Drive and Lamar home. It was a beautiful Fall evening, trees still having some Fall colors on them. This is the first time I have tried to save an iMovie file using the "BEST ProRes" option, which ended up giving this 8 minute video an 18.6GB file, but it ripped very fast, and it looks like it produced a very smooth video!

I went outside and noticed some mysterious foot prints in the snow going across my driveway and yard. Could this have been Bigfoot traversing through my yard!?! Or….. was it just an innocent deer? What do you think? Leave your answer in the comment section. 

The first accumulated snowfall of 2023 here in Kansas. It looks like we received about 3 inches in my area. 

Welcome to Candy Cane Lane 2022! This holiday season it snowed right before Christmas, so I was finally able to get a drive down Candy Cane Lane and get some video footage of it with snow on the ground. This year I made 3 passes up and down Outlook Lane in Prairie Village, Kansas. The first time through it was a little too bright, not quite dusk yet. The second pass through, it was a little darker, which made the lights pop a little more. The third pass was just about right; dark enough, but still enough light for my Wolfang GA420 action camera to capture some good detail. Once the sun is down and it gets dark out, most action cameras are not able to capture good video detail. There just is not enough light after sunset. Anyways, I'm happy that I finally got a snowy Candy Cane Lane video. I cheated a little bit and created some falling snow with some special effects wizardry. And the Santa at the end is not real either, in case you still believe in that kind of stuff.

Multiple animals show up to make an appearance at the popular tree stump and water hole. The regular crowd was out and about; the birds, foxes, raccoons and squirrels. But in the evening we had a first appearance of a cat, and also a first appearance of a rabbit. Who knows, some day, we might even catch a glimpse of coyote! Stay tuned! This was the first video that I have created on my new iMac computer. The music doesn’t quite match the mood for this video, but it was all I could find at the moment as I was working on this new computer for the first time. These clips were taken from the trail cam on Sunday, November 27th, 2022.

A Miata drive to Leawood Kansas and back home. I used my Wolfang GA420 action camera for this footage. It ended up being evening time when I drove back home, so there was less light out as the Sun was going down . This Wolfang action camera only does so well in lower light. As I get closer to home and it gets darker outside, you can see the progression of the image quality dropping off.

A cute little chipmunk shows up at the tree stump to snack on some pumpkin seeds. He loads up his cheeks with the seeds, then darts off to the right. He shows up again a few minutes later for a second helping, before scurrying off moments later. "Check please!" These clips were taken by the trail cam on Friday, October 21st, 2022.

A “DIE HARD” Christmas card I created back in 2017. And yes, DIE HARD is a Christmas movie ! “High above the city of Kansas City, a team of terrorists have seized a building, taken hostages and declared war. One man has managed to escape…. a print analyst hiding somewhere inside. He’s alone, tired…. and the only chance anyone has got.” Trent McClane Stude, “Come to the coast. We’ll get together, have a few laughs.”
