Alright...
I guess we're doing this again!
so welcome to the behind the scenes of this walk
First Fun Fact:
It took me 3 tries to get this right lol
First Try: I Tripped. (because, adult.)
Second Try: I greeted the security guard and we got into a conversation
also...
I can't think of a single other shrine with an escalator!
This (Hie) Shrine is literally right in the heart of Tokyo
And I have actually done a few other videos feauring this place!
(bonus points if you can remember more than one of them)
so on the original walk-throughs...
I just stood on the escalator
but by the 3rd time, started to lose a bit of patience
so we walked this one
on some of my test runs
I had the camera above me
but then you feel like you're floating everywhere
and it kind of takes you out of it
And holding this pole out in front for an extended period,
was a little more challenging than I had expected lol
oh! There's my new friend!
... the security guard
I had actually stated this way earlier in the morning
but he was really interested in the camera
and then our conversation went on for a bit
in fact the first walkthrough I did,
(the one where I tripped)
there was next to nobody in the shrine at al
and if you haven't read the comments section yet,
make sure to zoom out a bit to increase quality
the compression really kills these vids
WHOA!
I have been sitting here typing for like 20 minutes
How do I only have like 3.5 minutes done?? lol
I'm also stuffed full of popcorn right now
Decided to watch back to the future 2 today
It's been a long time. Totally worth the watch
and finally we are in!
at this point,
I am actually just shocked
by how many people have suddenly arrived
this place was empty just an hour ago
and then it hits me...
It's been an hour since I arrived
and I only have like 5 minutes recorded
so it was around this area that I tripped last time
so I am understandably nervous at this point
Don't want to trip again
but also don't want to look like I'm trying NOT to trip lol
it's.... a delicate balance indeed.
and I am running out of time, so I will publish this for now, and update the rest of the subtitles later!
