@graciouscompetentdwarfrabbit 3 года назад

I haven't watched the video yet, but tbf Jamie probably didn't have to watch the whole stream since the stream camera was on a tripod somewhat far from the action, while Jamie was shooting handheld much closer to Alec (and later, when Jamie had gone home already, iirc, Alec placed the camera that was recording this video on a tripod but closer to him, but I might be remembering something that didn't actually happen). And if there are in fact any scenes here from the stream (again, I haven't started watching this video just yet, so idk if there are any), he didn't have to watch the whole thing, instead he could just look up the hour something happened in the handheld recording and then look it up on the stream.

The amazing thing about this video, it was a very cleverly disguised Square space advert, the whole thing. Just alec demonstrating just how versatile and easy it is to setup and use and adjust things on the fly from your mobile. I bet square space love having you on their books. On other channels its usually its just a boring 30 second or 1 minute ad at the start on mid roll, usually spoling the flow of the video, but Alec has creatively got round this problem by intertwining the two. Great Job!
