Exploring an Urban Oasis
Last night, on Nova, I watched a nature documentary about a couple who went and spent a year in the Idaho wilderness. They lived in a tent most of the time, and the husband was a professional zoologist who studies and films wolves. Great film.
Then I thought about my own Tour d’Joko films and the one I had just completed that day. Mind you, I’m not comparing as apples to apples something I, an amateur with consumer equipment, make in a couple of hours with an hour-long documentary that took a year to make. That said, there were imitable qualities to his film that I, with a little more patience than I normally have, maybe some better equipment and a firmer commitment to making something TV-worthy could replicate. Take inspiration from, at the very least, and that I have done.
Next month, I’m going to spend a week at Yellowstone National Park. I want to turn that time into the best Tour d’Joko film I have yet made. It will require planning. It will require some kind of mission or narrative beyond just me going on vacation. I need to think on these things. Come up with a story that will hold the viewers’ attention beyond the five-minute limit that most people who watch YouTube videos will tolerate.
Joko goes… what?
In search of bear cubs?
Finding the wolves of Yellowstone?
Discover which kind of ukulele song bison enjoy most?
Like I said, I got some planning to do.
In the meantime, please enjoy my latest marching-through-the-woods video, Tour d’Joko, Carkeek Park Edition.
My thanks to Momma Bear for my new fancy walking stick.
I was thinking why you need a walking stick? For now….use it only for holding the camera…too young, too young. 🙂
Nice walk I had while I drank my coffee in Saturday morning. Thank you.
Thank you, Joko. I enjoyed watching this while having my coffee.
“I woke up this morning and poured myself…” two cups of coffee and set down with two cups. Which is good because I drank the first before the Vid finished.
Absolutely love while my Uke gently weeps. A true piece of brilliance.
I bet those people get the occasional, uninvited, guest. Hopefully, they are ok with this before they purchased the home, or they could put up a fence.
After watching another Discovery program: Human Prey – When Bears Attack, I think I may rule out the looking for bear cubs option.
Don’t put yourself in danger J,you know looking for bear cubs,or wolves might not be the best idea…..however searching for the wild rogue yam might be a little safer…lolololol 😯
A pleasant tour with wonderful music.
Take care with bears might be like this one.
