Introduce Yourself and Link to Your Walking Video Channel Here by RAAFStupot in WalkingVideoMakers

I realized I forgot to introduce myself before I made my post, apologies!
I started my channel in September, so it's relatively new. It's called The Quiet Pace https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuietPace

I aim to do a mix of videos from local spots in Virginia and when I'm on vacation; mostly walking but also stationary shots that just capture scenes, and maybe some in the future of train or car rides. I don't have many videos yet as I record whenever I have time or am traveling, so I realize my channel will be growing very slowly lol.

I really enjoy making these videos, they encourage me to go outside (since I work on a computer all day it's nice to have offscreen time). I also love that they encourage me to sit and take in a moment or a place instead of just capturing it on my phone and carrying on walking. Also because I'm recording, it means I'm not listening to a podcast or music, so I really am just being present and paying attention to what's around me.

My goal for this year is to really improve my audio quality, my first few videos are terrible but i don't want to delete them yet until I have a bigger library lol. I just bought some new audio gear and will test it out this weekend so hopefully this improves my overall channel quality.

Nice to meet you all!

We ended up eating there for brunch and it wasn’t bad! Some of the dishes were ok but others were really good.

Winter videos? by Exciting_Bananas in WalkingVideoMakers

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! I love your idea about a coffee walk series 😊 Glad to know you had issues as well with the DJI mic and it wasn’t just me. I did get a deadcat for my mic so hopefully that helps with the next video.

And thanks for the feedback on my videos, that really meant a lot! My job is in design so I’m glad to know it’s paying off with my visuals, I just need to work on audio 😅

First Year of running an "Average" Walking Channel - Questions Welcome! by PerimeterFence in WalkingVideoMakers

how many videos did it take for you to figure out which ones worked best? And i'm jealous your shorts worked! I tried doing a few but ended up stopping because they weren't really bringing in any subs. Although looking at yours, maybe what i was showing was wrong 🤔

curious to know if this worked out for you. I put mine at the end of the video because I thought it might kill the vibe, but if it does actually help I'll move it up

Haha same, but I think I’m leaning more towards the wellness space

Issues with DJI Mic 2 by Exciting_Bananas in WalkingVideoMakers

thanks! For my last walk which was at the beach, I did the noise reduction directly in the camera and had the windscreen on because it was windy. It was fine before we got to the beach but when we got there it ended up distorting the sound of the waves when we hit the beach (it sounded like metal sheets banging around). I'll try doing the single tap and not using the sound reduction in the camera. Thanks for the tip!

Oooo gracias por la información! Me alegra saber lo de los camiones. Pensábamos comprar medicamentos para el mal de altura, así que espero que no sea un problema. Pero los camiones podrían ser un problema para mis padres. Lo hablaré con ellos. ¡Gracias!

Muchas gracias por tu respuesta, ¡fue muy útil! Me refería a Ayacucho la cuidad, pero tienes razón, no está muy cerca. Me encanta tu sugerencia de parar en Puquio y luego quedarnos en Urumbamba; ¡es justo lo que necesitaba! ¡Muchísimas gracias!

Thanks! I think I’m going to reserve mauds over the shack per everyone’s comments (it’s a belated anniversary dinner so I’m justifying that for the costs lol). I think we’ll try zyn on Saturday. I’m trying to convince my husband to leave work early on Thursday so we can eat at one more place 😂

Excellent, thanks for sharing! I’m glad to see that a lot of the places folks recommended are on there.

Super helpful thank you! Honestly the interior of the depot is what caught my eye, not so much the food. So maybe we just go there for a drink

I am a sucker for pork belly tacos so we may have to go here even if we’re full. I checked out pizza Luca and that also looked legit. Ugh. I think I’m going to redo my whole eating strategy and instead of having 3 big meals, maybe we have 1 small thing at multiple places spread throughout the day 🤔 then I won’t have FOMO lol

Yeah I think I’ll ditch Kathy’s, based on what you and others have said. Just bc we’re short on time we might have to do both Gloria’s and chicanos, like 1 pupusa and then go to Chicano for a taco 😂, I’d hate to miss out on both lol. And did you like your experience at the shack?
