Video Logs
My YouTube channel hosts a collection of videos I’ve made for myself, friends, and family events.
Island Time
Summertime trip to St. Kitts with family for Grandma's birthday - her favorite place in the world. It’s hard to find a place or time that St.Kitts is not beautiful, and a drone provides the best view possible.
The process couldn’t have been easier flying with a drone as my carry-on. Just be sure the case will fit into the overhead compartment, and your batteries aren’t over the capacity limits.
Helicopter Trip into The Grand Canyon
Grandpa wanted to head to Las Vegas one last time, and I was fortunate to accompany him on the trip. We practiced blackjack on his tablet and my phone on the way there, and arranged a helicopter adventure into the Grand Canyon to see it all in comfort.
The Hoover Dam, Lake Las Vegas, and a canyon lizard all make an appearance. The terrain is still what gets me. It’s so alien from what I’m used to on the east coast.
Griggs Valley Train Set
My Grandpa built a custom model train set over many years after his work in television. I would always want to see the small town in the basement whenever our family would visit. The place is full of unique shops with family names, a hobo camp, and a view looking into the mountain to reveal miners searching for gold. Complete with sounds, a flying airplane and tunnel, as a child you just want to shrink down and explore Griggs Valley.
For Christmas 2018 I wanted to give my 88 year old grandfather something to show my appreciation for the effort he put into the set, and the capabilities of modern video technology.
Grandpa loved the video when we showed it to him, in awe that cameras had gotten small enough to ride his train. He had my Grandma play this video over and over for him on her laptop.
Drone Flights
I’ve always seemed to have an RC car around as a kid, including duct-taping my first digital video camera to one and skateboarding behind it. Now, we can fly our cameras on drones and edit the videos together in powerful software.
