Trying to understand why you and others on YouTube hold your mic to your mouth. They are supposed to pick up your voice, and in some of your clips the sound seems to be over-saturated because you are speaking directly into the mic. Maybe a Lav might help and be less obvious.
Why on earth would you not stay in a good hotel? For 30% more you could actually be comfortable. This is a well made video but I do think it’s very telling that all the nice places you show are outside of Vancouver. I’m not sure why I’d want to leave Toronto for that.
Please Give me some interesting idea why do i need to visit in Vancouver. Thank’s!
Thanks for the tips. Be there in 18 days time. Can’t wait!
I think he’s being really superfluous about the hollowed-out tree and going to Chilliwack. I’ve been to Chilliwack quite a bit, and it’s not worth the drive.
