So anyway...I met a guy here in town that wants to start a YouTube and is well-funded. He served 28 years in the Army as a weapons designer and has some really cool stories that he would like to tell and needed someone to capture all of this stuff.
The channel will feature the local history and current state of the Chattahoochee Valley area and the stories that the people here have to tell. He helped his two sons win top prize 4 years running in school competitions by filming documentaries about topics such as the Muskogee natives from these parts, General Patton and others.
My wife and I me him at a yard sale this past weekend which he is having to clear out his mother in law's house after she had recently passed. She was a hoarder and there's so much stuff in there, much of it rife with history. So he had the idea of filming the yard sale and all of the cast of characters that rotate through on a daily basis as well as the stories he tells them about the items as they ask questions. Sort of like a living yard sale. When I told him my brother and I do video production and have video drones he got excited.
He really likes the idea of a creative collective that can produce videos for all sorts of topics. He also like to build choppers amongst other things and has lots of really interesting ideas for inventions and wants to film all of this and I think we'll have a lot of content for quite a while to come in addition to the yard sale.
I have been tasked with writing a theme song for the channel that would be used at the intro and outro of all the videos. I came right home yesterday and got to work. Already have a really good idea that's very simple and catchy and feels like the soundtrack to a sunny Saturday morning jaunt through a yard sale in Alabama.
I'm thinking this may end up becoming a full-time job if it catches on. I'm pretty sure once word gets around people are going to flock to the yard sale like flies and hopefully we get lots of good interaction. It's definitely going to be fun to try.
