Helsinki Samba Carnaval 2016

This video is bit strange. It is because there was really bad weather during the parade. I thought it was good idea to boost the look. This was shot from one place because of the weather. I didn't want to search another place to shoot with all umbrellas including mine and bad weather. I am going to shoot another parade with better weather. I have shot stills in previous years. Those have been more colorful. 

Fun with Dreadbox Nyx

Here is short demo of Dreadbox Nyx. I am not yet too familiar with the instrument. There is one time I change something and nothing happens. I realized that only after editing the video. I am not sure if my Dreadbox Nyx is broken or not. Pulse width control works weirdly. I don't remember seeing that behavior.

I didn't add any other effect than mixing and mastering effects. Reverb is from instrument.

Hippie Invasion (Siivouspäivä and Maailma Kylässä)

I am honest. I don't think this music caries through the video. This video is one reason why I try to keep my videos shorter nowadays and try to put something to break the monotony. This probably should have been two different videos even when it was shot during one day. Or have different music at some points of the video. I like the video but have some problems with the music.

Video was shot during Siivouspäivä which could be translated to flea market day. Maailma Kylässä (World Village Festival) was on same day. Both have sort of hippie feeling. I thought it would make sense to have both in same video but that turned out to be bad idea. I learned my lesson and made Tough Viking and Midnight Run into separate videos even when both were from same day's running events.

At Halfway Point (kind of fitness stuff)

Here I talk about my weight loss at the half way of weight loss journey. Where I am going and what I have done so far.

I am one month into future in this video. I speak like it was at the end of the year. I realized that when I was editing and it was too late to fix it by then. So it didn't take two years to get to halfway point. Only year and eleven months.

I tried vlogging style where I walk and talk to camera. I probably need to do something for shaky camera before I do this next time.

Restaurant Day 2016

Restaurant Day is day when everyone can sell food outdoors. Normally we have tight control on food safety and taxes. I am not sure how this thing got past control but I am glad it did. We have had few of these by now and this event is global now. This is one of those event making Helsinki great place to be.

This is first video I shot 4K. I can't say I never came back to FullHD because I have shot some videos FullHD since. Higher frame rate and better stabilization have been reasons why I have shot something FullHD after this video. But most of the videos have been shot 4K since this.
