Moving Time Lapse - Cleanup (Part 1) 

Thanks for your comment! I understand why not many people like to clean windows, but when I make time lapse videos of everything I do, I enjoy looking back on it and sharing it with people, so it suddenly makes it more worth it for me to do all the work I do.

Lol that is probably true. I did clean a lot of the house and I recorded everything I did. However my parents and sister did do a lot also, but some of the time I didn't know they were cleaning to set the camera up, or had the camera busy filming myself. I sometimes had two cameras going during the really busy days, but i didn't film necessary all of what my parents did so it looks like I did a lot more.

ohhh i see. still you did a lot of work! it looks good.

Glad you liked those moments, I found them funny too especially because I wasn't always working with my family and would see the footage later. I'll admit if I were to make this video again I would have probably edited those out, but I am a bit more of a perfectionist now. Back when I made this video, I was 15 and had 0 subscribers so I would describe this video as being a bit more carefree than my recent videos.

Yall? Looked like the boy did most of it

Thanks! Working together on a big project like this does bring us closer together.

Ha lol

Юлия Юнда I appreciate your comments, we worked very hard as you saw and I made this video for both entertainment as well as showing the process of moving to anyone else so they can understand how things might work if they have a lot of stuff. Thanks for subscribing!

Glad you enjoyed it! It's interesting to look back on after all this time, I don't know if you saw the other 2 parts already but we moved into a smaller house although have 2 additional buildings on the property, so we still have a lot of stuff!

I love that we can see the edit on the screen at 8:40😄

Thanks for watching! Also that's cool you spotted that, you're the first one. Since this whole project was done sequentially I would edit each day's video and add it. I actually remember waking up my computer while we were working that day, just as like an Easter egg in case anyone spotted it

Юлия Юнда Thanks, it was a lot of work but definitely worth it. After moving and unpacking though, I realize that we should have gotten rid of a lot more stuff because a lot of it doesn't get used at all.

Thanks for your comment, a great way to make it seem like you have less stuff is to look at how much stuff other people have!

Joshua Reynolds that is very true. i live with my dad and sister who can not get rid of stuff. If we ever moved my room would fit in like 5 boxes Clothes included hahah. We are in the process of cleaning our attic so lets hope we get rid of more than half! 🙈

We are a family of 4 so it is hard sometimes to get rid of stuff, and all of us have accumulated way too much over the years. I always ran into the problem of thinking that everything is useful for something, but I haven't opened over half the boxes I packed so that stuff wasn't necessary after all. Good luck on your cleanup process!

Georgia's Rabbit Lodge smaeeeeeee.

We did a lot of cleanip but there was a ton of clutter because we lived in the house for 17 years and didn't organize very often and we kept collecting stuff, and the house was relatively large

Better yet: throw 3/4 of that stuff out! I haven't even touched about 3/4 of the stuff we moved and right now I think there is no reason to keep it but as soon as I look at the stuff, I have a bad habit of thinking everything is useful for something which is why we have so much.

Obrigado por assistir, estou feliz que você gostou do vídeo. Livrar-se de coisas que você não precisa todo ano é uma ótima idéia. Nossa família armazena coisas há muitos anos e finalmente tem a chance de limpar a casa, devemos fazer isso com mais frequência agora que nos mudamos para nossa nova casa. Eu não falo português nativamente, mas estou experimentando um programa de tradução, espero que funcione!

I remember looking at some of the rooms and thinking it was an impossible task to organize it, but when we had the deadline of showing our house to have it finished, the work got done quicker and I think filming it motivated me more as well.

@@joshuareynolds5219 deadlines does that you have to do it no matter what and make it easier as well. i believe you and your family didnt get much sleep some days because of deadline :)

That's very true, we did have some sleepless nights. The process shown in this video was just getting the house ready for the realtor to show it, and I remember on days the house was being shown I would just throw everything from my room in the closet and hope nobody opened it. Once the house actually sold and we had a move out date, it was a bit more stressful but with the date constantly in the back of our minds we were able to finish everything, as I show in part 2 video.

indeed i've moved a lot so its a huzzle to hide those things you havent manage to sort and hope no one will open. so satisfying to watch

Thank you. In the future, I think we won't have this much stuff again because our new house is smaller than our old one, and this encourages us to reduce the amount of stuff we have.

That's what I was thinking too when I watched this video after completing our move

You did great, how's is the new place? I have to say that your videos were very inspiring. I am moving with my family at the end of the year I wanted to film it too. How did you do it? Sorry if that is a stupid question but I am not very into tech. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Natalia, the whole move went very well and we have been living at the new place for almost 2 years. Good luck on your move, from my experience the fewer things you can bring and have to deal with at the new place, the better. I'm glad you asked about the technology part of the video because I am very into technology and nobody has been interested in that so far. When I recorded this video, I used my old Galaxy S3 phone for the first half of it with a wide angle lens, and the phone ran a time lapse app but I noticed that app isn't available to download anymore. The rest of this video was recorded with a GoPro camera which I had been saving up for throughout this time, and I recommend that for filming a move because it is very reliable, has a very wide angle lens so you can see a whole room without having to move the camera a lot, and most importantly it can produce video clips already in time lapse which saves a TON of time over using the phone which required post processing and complicated stuff. It is also good to get a tripod, as well as a USB power bank so the camera can be continuously powered for hours. If you use the GoPro, you will need a skeleton housing to connect the USB power bank to the camera because the regular housing covers the GoPro's connections. The GoPro has a setting called "video time lapse", and you can adjust the interval at which it takes pictures, and I normally used 2 seconds because I can make the video run faster in editing. After you film everything, bring the files into your computer and you can edit them. I used vegas movie studio for this, but any editor such as windows movie maker should actually be fine. Basically just add all the video clips into the timeline in the order you want, adjust the speed to make them run faster, and add music to the final video. I used music from the RU-vid audio library for this video because I didn't know about other channels with copyright free music at the time. You can probably find information on using the GoPro and editing online for whatever camera and software you use, but it is actually pretty simple once you get started. It is very interesting to be able to watch back the whole move after filming it and it is great to be able to share it with other people. Let me know if I can help with the technology part of this anymore. If you do make the video of your move, I will definitely watch it!

Actually the house had about 15 rooms (including the finished attic), but your paper count estimate is not far off!

The whole process of packing and moving took 6 months from when we started packing until we moved into the new house. We worked several hours per day almost 7 days a week, and I recorded most of the process.

I can't deny it! I realized that this video has become more of "what not to do" when moving than a video of someone moving. We were able to empty about half the warehouse compared to what we had before, but out new place which is a farm has accumulated even more stuff than out old house. I am going to make another video like this, but cleaning up the farm.

I used a Samsung galaxy s3 phone for the first half, and a Gopro hero 4 silver for the second half. Thanks for watching! I hot glued a wide angle lens onto the phone

Joshua Reynolds thank you

Yes Ubuntu is a good operating system, and in this case I was installing it on a really old computer to bring new life to it. I just can't use Ubuntu on my main pc because my video editing software isn't supported

Everything in this video was actually done in a little less than 2 months. My moving part 2 and 3 videos took about 3 months each

I agree we had too much stuff, we actually finished moving 2 years ago and we got rid of quite a lot, but unfortunately there is still a room in our garage that is full of unpacked stuff, probably adding up to 1/4 of what we moved. I will assume that if we haven't needed to unpack that stuff in 2 years then we probably don't need it. Thanks for watching!

@@joshuareynolds5219 You are a very hard worker and I was amazed at what you cleaned up. Keep up the good work.

It was a house but the amount of stuff is definitely more than I would consider "normal", we lived in the house for about 16 years and didn't really ever do a full cleanout until it was time to move
