Flyertalkers on YouTube?

I stumbled across a friend's video on YT over the weekend and it got me wondering: Any of our Flyertalk Community have travelogues, goofy stuff, scripted soap operas or sundry stuff that you've put on YT that you want to share?

Yes, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Remember my crazy neighbor that I took to court because he was stupid enough to leave a threatening message on my answering machine?

Well, I wanted to make a video of the pictures of the cause of the tirade and use the tirade as the sound

My daughter tells me that I am going to be on her next music video and that is really scary. I have no idea what type of video of me that she will include. Probably Christmas morning in my jammies with no make-up. Eeek!

In the meantime, here is one of her videos that I like, because of the music. Here is another that I think is really cute.. It is her and her bandmate singing karaoke to their own album.

Thanks!

Primary editing was done in Adobe Premiere Pro (some were in 1.0, some in 1.5). The titles were composited in Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, and used 3D titles animated in Cool 3D Edit. I used tmpgenc to transcode to mpeg. The technical quality of the videos is better than appears on YouTube. Unfortunately, YouTube's Flash compression causes all sorts of problems, including loss of resolution, excessive noise, motion artifacts and loss of audio sync. YouTube just granted me "Director" status which, among other things, exempts me from the size restriction, so I may replace them with less compressed versions. There are also "cleaner" versions on my website: www.travelersvideo.com
