Aviation Warrior Song

Well, after a very long break from videos I have finally finished the next one. The Aviation Warrior Song is a tribute to all the men and women fighting in the armed forces both past and present. There is more information in the video description as well as the meaning of the song used. Hopefully it inspires more people to purchase the song for the good cause!

Half Million and Counting!

Well, at 0541 this morning, the Airventure 2009 video had 503, 050 views! Another big milestone passed! Who would have thought that just another one of my airshow music videos would have become so popular? I never expected more than maybe 200 views originally...if it were even good enough. Then all of a sudden someone found the video, and spread it around...then it got spread around even more...kind of like that movie "Pay It Forward". The views just took off! It won #77 most viewed on youtube the second week after posting, and #86 most viewed during the month of August. Another interesting fact is that between 2300 last night and 0500 it had been viewed 500 times. Thanks for everyone who has watched the video! If you've missed it, or want to see it again, here is a link:

Home for 24 hours...

Back home from school for about 24 hours. Just a little bit of an update. Currently my desktop is in the dorm without any sort of video editing software or camera hook ups...not that I would have any time right now anyway, but video editing is on somewhat of a hiatus. However, on the weekends when I am able to come home, I would be able to edit video if the desktop were here...so...I should be getting a laptop for school soon and the desktop will be back and videos will once again start showing up on youtube. I'll let everyone know when the next video comes out! Keep checking!

Not goodbye, but until next time.

This weekend is rather sad or bittersweet, because not only do I leave for college, but our very good friends and neighbors Cassie, Mark, and Clair Harrison unfortunately moved away today. I'll be back with more video, picture and blog updates in the future...and we plan on seeing the Harrison's again as well. It's all for the better. So, this isn't goodbye from updates, but rather.."Until next time!"

Few and Far Between

With college coming up the posts on here will become few and far between....as if they weren't already pretty sparse. Anyway, just a bit of an update on the Airventure stuff. The Airventure 2009 video is still doing very well. It currently has 141,803 views...I guess that's pretty good. Because of the video's success the other videos on the channel have been doing very well.

Also, I have just finished my EAA Airventure 2009 Pictorial Review. The entire review as well as comments can be found here.

Thanks all for looking. I'll try to keep up with this as much as possible...but I can't make promises until I know what to expect.

Video...only a tad more popular than I thought...

***UPDATE***At the time of writing this I have just received a youtube honor...something that's fairly close to impossible unless it was shown on TV, someone gets hurt, or it's a music video. This week, thanks to everyone viewing the new Airventure video, it ranked #83 of the top 100 viewed videos for youtube. That mean, out of every video viewed on youtube, the new Airventure video is #83. Thanks again for everyone who watched!

It's been five days since I've uploaded the Airventure 2009 review video, and the view count...ratings...and comments are off the charts. It has exceeded expectations twenty fold! At the time of writing it has 21,633 views. THAT IS INSANE! I was not expecting anything more than maybe 1,200 views...maybe. To quote my father, "It just keeps feeding itself."

The video's fame has also brought the attention of some veteran videographers, XCOR (creators of the "Rocket Racing League"), and AVweb, which plan on hosting the video on their website Thursday.

Thanks again to all those who have taken the five minutes out of their lives to watch the video!

Also, I've been writing a photo essay for each day of the Airventure trip. You can check that out here.
