If you have way way way too much time on your hand, you can watch the really bad footage from my DIY bodycam. After two hikes I’ve realized it’s totally mis-aligned and provides a great view of the trees to my upper right as I walk along. Occasionally it gets something interesting in the frame but more often than not it’s just amusing how bad the video is. The audio is equally bad in terms of fidelity, but there are some highlights. Day 1 captured some fun banter between me and Penny including their plans to murder me by pushing me off a cliff to collect insurance money. Seriously. It’s all in jest, but if I’m splatted down a ravine at some point later this year, I present Exhibit 1. On Day 2, I found myself commenting and talking on camera because two hours of poorly shot portrait video would be even worse if there was nothing but wind noise on the audio track. Lets just say this was not a confidence builder as to my fantastic thoughts of ditching it all to hit the road as a professional comedian. Regardless, I’m debating upgrading the setup. I know people aren’t going to be watching these things unless something epically awful or weird happens like I fall into the quarry or get dive bombed by rabid chipmunks, but when it does happen, I’d like the video to at least by better aligned. So stay tuned…
