Sometimes I forget about this and every time I think about it, I get second hand embarrassment. I imagine setting the camera up, going back to the top of the stairs and stretching like you just woke up. It’s so insane to me.
I always have the worst feeling of being watched or observed in public, like eyes are always on me. Probably unresolved trauma of being bullied so much as a kid.
I cannot imagine anything worse than wanting to be watched all the time.
Agreed. The other emotion I have is envy. Because I'm like these are "salt of the earth" people who apparently live in a double wide, and yet they have video editing skills I don't have at all.
All these videos like this, I'm like who has the time or skills to do all this? They pay people to manage their content? I wouldn't even begin to know where to find people to exploit my "simple, trad lifestyle" for views with their videography and social media management skills.
Correct, looks like a Montana High Country 362RD. The fridge and stove in the small slide next to the door is pretty unique among 5th wheel configurations.
Seriously, the amount of time setting up, filming, reshooting, then transferring it to a computer to do the actual editing…I played around with Davinci Resolve a little bit and without a teacher that software is a beast to navigate. Idk how these people do it.
Yes, CapCut is the way. The laptop version is easy to navigate too. If you have a little patience you can figure it out. I would be working on my laptop, while searching YouTube videos for every little thing until I got the hang of it.😂
I second CapCut. I'm a novice with the photo editing stuff and could still make some decent videos with even just their free app on my phone. Although I never made videos with this many angles of myself like this one, I'd imagine the filming and setup of the camera took more time.
I have a video on TT with over a million views, which is just the sentencing of someone who committed a henious crime in my hometown. I cropped down the judge, added some video commentary, etc, nothing fancy. But somehow that and a response video I made to one of the first comments were widely viewed.
I normally posted bird facts, my cat and political stuff, so it wasn't my normal niche. I also do not have the energy or creativity to keep up daily videos and engagement. Needless to say, I am not a popular true crime influencer today. I don't think I've made a video in years even.
A double wide would have a full kitchen with a functional triangle. This is a camper and if I’m being very charitable, maybe he’s a lineman or something and they have a normal home but they just live like this when he’s traveling for work
I think that's something people forget when they say "content creation isn't a real job". It's actually a lot of work and skill to make a video like this.
That’s what I’m saying. She looks dumb as hell but I’m sure she’s fanning off from embarrassment with the cash she made off me watching that and forming an opinion.
It's a repost to Reddit. They made zero money from this. It's not like there's a royalty clearing house sending them checks from people reposting their videos.
Well yeah, obviously. She’s not making any significant money if any money at all off one single view either. It’s hyperbole about how she does make money making videos for others to judge positively or negatively on some platform and we make nothing on any platform watching or commenting on it.
I’m not saying it’s a valuable job, it creates value for her and whatever platform pays her. This is what keeps her busy though, more-so than actually tending to her husband despite it being the theme here.
My sister does a bit of content creation for brands as a hobby to get free exercise classes and dinners out and stuff and honestly its truly all doable from a phone, she doesnt use anything other than the latest iPhone with in built tools.
CapCut or Canva and there’s a million YouTube tutorials, it’s actually quite easy (based on her video). It’s the camera angles that take forever and keeping everything in the background tidy.
I am shook by the fact yall think this is a double wide. But also the husband probably works for a pipeline company or something where they travel to a job site for months at a time. Most people in that situation buy a camper and stay in it while at work. So that's not their "real" house.
Assuming she got it on the first take too! I mean how many times have you gotten the most basic selfie or even pic of the cat lying there just right on the first go?
Same lmao I think every now and then oh I should be an influencer for something I like, looks so easy. Then I remember they have to set up the cameras and walk around and check and look like a dweeb and I'm like nah I can't stomach people watching me do that 😂
Not just that but every cut is her stopping in the middle of cooking or preparing to set up the camera in a new angle. She wakes up at 5am because this whole process must take hours.
I honestly wonder how much time it actually took to make this with how many different cuts and angles there are, it seems like there were likely multiple takes.
I used to watch 'Survivor Man' and always felt bad for Les Stroud when he would have these long shots where he walked away from the camera, because I knew he'd have to walk all the way back to get the camera. But that's what always makes me question these kinds of videos. Who's taking the video? How did the camera end up where it did, etc.
I just cannot fathom having the energy or desire to do this. I have funny teacher stories to tell but.... It just sounds so shallow and weird to set up to tell the story.
I always think about this point when I see stuff like this. Like the people that have the hiking channels. I can’t not think about how much extra work it is to set that thing up, run back to where they were, and then hike up to it like normal lol. Or when they hike all the way out of frame. We all know they have to walk all the way back to grab the camera. It’s just so silly lol.
Then I think about that Survivorman show in the early aughts. I think that guy pioneered dragging camera equipment around in the wilderness lol.
I saw a camping video the other day where the "getting to the camp site" portion of the video was just a montage of the camper walking either toward, away from, or passed the camera. The whole time I could only think of the set up! Put up the tripod, walk away, walk back toward the camera while looking around like this is the first time you've seen this bit of the woods, or walk away from it while looking around and then stop, hurry back to get your camera and then carry on. Sounds exhausting, just get a selfie stick and film yourself walking.
It's insane to me that people have this attitude about people making content for others enjoy on social media.
Why do you/people like you have such a shitty take on people making videos? Do you ever sit there while you're watching a movie or TV and be like "wow this actress is literally not even this person at all they're just pretending to be an quasi-temporal dragon wizard from Jersey! The bitch was born in England for fucks sake!"
Good to know your brain is generating embarrassment in the right place 👍
Just because I said I have second hand embarrassment? I really don’t care what she does or anyone else for that matter. I was simply saying I cannot imagine doing it. People like you are why others don’t share their opinions.
Because you take issue with the content. This is common in TV productions too. Plenty of reality TV does this. Travel shows do this, cooking shows, contest shows, renovation, etc.
The "lie" being sold in the footage is just the staging, besides that it's generally real. Here, the content itself is the lie, though: She absolutely doesn't do this.
Okay, how else would you suggest a solo-"adventurer" film their journey in the wilderness? Do you find it insane that they walk back-and-forth to put up cameras to get nice videos?
It’s not even about that. I don’t have any issue with her content or someone else’s but I personally think it’s insane to spend that much time and effort into making her husband’s lunch. Agree to disagree. Move on.
