On Friday morning I went to my favourite cafe at the end of the pier in Whitby and other baked potato, and then decided I would go for a nice long walk around Whitby as part of my get fit campaign and on the spur of the moment I suddenly felt why not film it on my new Samsung videophone.

The thing is that there be no planning and when I watched a film back you can actually see the phone me jumping up and down and huffing and puffing around Whitby, but am putting it online I just hope it doesn’t look so horrendously unprofessional. At the time I thought I will bother try to keep the phone steady I’ll just make it look like an authentic walked a bit different to the usual polished type of film you tend to see good at the end of the day it was just a case of me legging it up and down the health of Whitby whilst spouting a little bit of information that I have gleaned about the place.

The funny thing about making walking tour is that I spend 50 minutes walking around the town of Whitby and then spent three hours messing about with the software and putting the subtitles on. It was only a spur of the moment idea that suddenly took up a bit more time than anticipated! I hope some people find it useful.

I did a film about Whitby in 2010 and it’s been actually quite well received, it’s usually positioned at the top of you tube is listing for the single word Whitby and it’s about 5000 hits just over this year, but I did put more effort into that one here is the link.

Sometimes people take things too seriously they spent ages polishing all aspects of their production but I just thought I’d go for the amateur look, which suits my technical abilities but awfully some people will find this of interest and skim through the film to see bits of the town that they’re interested in and it does give you some idea if you’ve never been to Whitby or have not been there for a long time etc.

The only nice thing was that when I use the software because the film is almost one hour long I tried a few times and it kept defaulting the leaving sections of the film silent so I ended up having to mess about just get it to work with sound all the way through!

My god technology sometimes drives one around the bend
