Road Trip Tee Vee

Do people keep telling you that video is the “new thing for your blog!”? Yeah, they keep telling us that too. I have personally been terrified to head down that path, fearing that I will be lured in to a false sense of confidence about the ease of producing decent short video and then, I will waste countless hours trying to unravel the tools and processes of video editing. No way, I said, no way, repeatedly quoting a speaker I heard at a blogging conference: “If you’re going to do video, do it well.”

You know where this is going, right? The Flip video recorder came from our the Travelblog Exchange crew,  as did a log in to a Vimeo account. All we had to do was upload the stuff, we didn’t even have to edit it, Kim of Go Galavanting took care of the whole thing, adding titles, a bit of music, cleaning up the background noise, and posting it to the web.

I give you the first three episodes of Road Trip Tee Vee.

Episode 1: Kelly learns to pitch a tent and Peter uses the term hypotenuse.

Episode 2: We visit some National Parks and learn a few facts about buffalo, and make friends with five ladies in pastel cowboy hats.

Episode 3: We are sucked in to Wall Drug, a vortex of plastic souvenirs in the middle of the US.
