Popular Post Ezrider Posted December 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2017 i just thought i would share a little side project i have been working on. basically iv been trying to work on making some shop related video for you tube. its certainly a bit of a learning curve i have a tiny bit of experience in film from when i was a teenager played a small part in a independent film that never got finished worked as a boom mic guy on a few sets and a little tv commercial but its certainly a lot different to take these from start to Finnish and try to produce anything of any quality. plus any previous experience was a very long time ago. but anyway any feedback to help me improve would be appreciated. also suggestions for topics as well. ill link a couple i have done so far below 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezrider Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I Am planning on adding quite a bit more video iv got others already uploaded on my channel and a few more filmed waiting on me to find time to edit them. some are better than others i think (hope) they are getting better the more i do it. i don't want to post links to all of them here on the forum i would feel like i was spamming you guys. but you can check out my other ones on my channel and subscribe to see video's as i add them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Nice work so far. Very first thing I noticed was the LACK of safety stands while working on those brakes. Just don't want the "safety police" to jump all over your video. If you read many of the comments on peoples videos, it can get brutal!! I don't know the legal ramifications if someone follows your advice and gets hurt and comes back at you? Something to definitely think about. I know there are lots of crazy SOB's on Youtube so just remember you are dealing with the general public and they usually don't have a clue.

Ezrider Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) there is going to be people who are going to find something to troll about on anything. iv got pretty thick skin and expect some of that. might actually help me out a bit. part of how you tube rates how relevant your video is to a search on the subject has to do with not only watch time % but viewer interaction how many people like or comment on your video's. so if you have two video's that match the same key words and one has a bunch of likes and comments and the other does not the one that does gets ranked higher in the search results. about 8-9 years ago i made a video for a discussion on a gun forum and put it on you tube. and it actually got a lot of views when it was new, hasn't had any in years and its a pretty poor quality video esp by today standards. but i think that one had something like 17-18k views. and it got a lot of harsh comments, some deserving so some i deleted cause they were like "your stupid and dumb and i bet your moms a crackhead" type comments....lol but i left most of them. the truth of the mater is that trailer is its own jack stand. its a empty tri axle side dump the suspension is designed to not let the suspension move side to side only up and down. let alone the other 2 20k lb rated axles that are on the ground if the jack fell the wheel end might fall 2 inches plus wasn't working underneath it. if my video's do get popular ill probably have to start taking some extra unnecessary steps just to keep the trolls at bay. i guess i don't normally use jack stands on the trailer unless im taking tires off both sides of one axle at a time probably doesn't necessarily mean i shouldn't though. on the video about cleaning out the foot pedal area on the bobcat i recorded the sequence of unlocking the lift arm lockout just cause i figured someone would comment about working underneath a raised bucket without realizing i had the safety catch in place if i didn't show it. as far as potential liability i think its pretty slim but its also why i use wording like "how I" rather than "how to" the bucket trailer mover there is some inherent risk in its design so in the description. "disclaimer this is not intended to be a how to, this is just how i did it, if you decide to copy my design do so at your own risk. this cost me nothing to make as its all made from things i had laying around collecting dust. i wanted it to be fast and simple to put on and take off with minimal fuss. to buy all materials new i think you could still build this for under 30 bucks." also in the video i pointed out the potential for danger and also a way to make the design safer. i would think my risk is pretty minimal yeah someone could try to sue me over some thing stupid however i really don't think "i watched how to do this on youtube and got myself hurt" is going to hold up well in court.

Popular Post fxfymn Posted December 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2017 I don't want to imply that all the folks who needed help over the years were stupid; most weren't and just needed help. But here are some of my favorite examples that I actually ran over the years...(With a tip of the hat to Jeff Foxworthy) You might be stupid if: You picked up a running lawn mower by the blade case to use as a hedge trimmer. You placed the ashes from your fire place in a paper bag on the wood pile in your garage or on your deck. (This happened several times a year) You put a log that was not burning fast enough in your fire place on your wooden balcony. You used a grill on a wooden balcony with a wooden balcony above you. You heated a pizza in the box in the oven with the broiler. You used gasoline to get the leaf pile burning faster after it was lit. You tried to clean your husband's greasy clothes by adding gasoline to the washing machine. You drove when you were too drunk to realize that the car you were about to hit had blue flashing lights on it and a big red fire truck next to it. You don't understand that if you use an open Coke bottle to pleasure yourself the suction will make it impossible to remove. You have a knife fight with your son over who gets to open the Christmas presents first on Christmas Eve. You put your hand into a running meat grinder to clear a jam. You put your hand into a running snow blower to clear a jam. 3 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

DailyDiesel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Damn, that poor thing was plugged up! I subscribed. After working on my Youtube account for about a decade my best piece of advice is to have fun. Don't worry about views or cranking out a video everyday. Film it and they will come. 1 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezrider Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 thanks for the support guys, good thing im not too worried about cranking out a video every day. iv got a fair bit of stuff filmed waiting on edit been doing some long days in the truck this week have not really had time to touch it. it will probably come out in spurts a video a day here and there then nothing for a week or two. it takes quite a bit of extra time between filming something your doing and then reviewing the footage and editing. of course that's part of why im just trying to do video's on things im doing anyway not doing any project just for video yet. i did miss a chance to film what probably would have been a really good vidio here the other day, other than i was freezing my sack off and was on the side of the road. but the unloader valve stuck and truck wouldn't build air. pulled the unloader valve apart cleaned it up and put it back together. worked like a charm. didn't even think about filming it till i was warm later....lol. diesel dave it looks like you have some great stuff on your channel ill certainly be spending a few hours checking out your vidio's....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezrider Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) i did do a video recently of the jaguar. not my best work so far. but its basically just a walk around video and showing a few things about the car. and rambled on way too much....lol i have not gotten a whole lot done on it mostly just driving it. now that its winter time and i wont be driving it much anymore hopefully ill start making some more progress on it again. iv got a stack of parts on the shelf for the car. the first big thing i need to do is drop the trans and swap the tq converter and get my 4th gear lockup kit installed. and need to re plumb the fuel system and re-do the exhaust.

Ezrider Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 speaking of the jaguar did you see the engine masters episode. where they try to find out how much boost stock cast pistons can take they end up shoving a crazy about of boost in it and it stayed in one piece with over 20 lbs of boost and something like 800 hp (numbers off the top of my head and i watched it a while ago) defiantly makes me feel better about my plan of 6-8lbs of boost on a basically stock bottom end.

Mack Technician Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Good Vid. Only thing I do differently is grease pump, then roll, the camshaft 180 degrees so I put fresh(er) metal on the wear side of the journal. Keeps it worn even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Fun playing around with the indendent film stuff? What TV commercial?? For a Company?? Got to only dabble once in a Christian movie. Pretty fun. Played the archer assassin(upper right corner). Zero lines, just assainate folks for a villan. Only qualification was they were looking for was someone who was big and had a long bow and the ability to not miss an indoor target. First shot on set the leather outfit wrapped up my string and almost sent the arrow into a prop. The only fellow there who I knew to be famous was David Ruprecht. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4665626/videoplayer/vi1441773081?ref_=tt_pv_vi_aiv_1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezrider Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 great tip on rotating the cam around i had never even thought of that. i think i will start doing that in the future. the independant film stuff i did was back when i was a teenager living in California. i forget what the name of the movie was supposed to be i know they never ended up filming it witch is a shame they put a lot into the movie and large elaborate sets. i kinda stumbled into that because i was a boom mic guy on a different one of there movies. and we were filming out in the desert near 29 palms and it was 100+ outside and i was pretty buff back in those days. i had taken my shirt off and was sweating and they decided they needed to use me as a milititary guy holding a machine gun shooting up alians. the comercial i did was just a local commercial for a car dealership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) LOLL!!! Shooting up aliens.....THAT'S A DREAM roll!! Wonder about contributing a shot scene with my hickory-stick long bow? Little suckers aren't a big center mass target, but OOOH those beady black eyes and that nice, big, juicy, head. Realizing it never went to cut.....do you still have any of the clips, on-set photos, etc?

Ezrider Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 i don't personally have anything i was still young enough back then to not think to save anything. i would imagine my dad probably would have saved some stuff from that. he is gone now but its still possible for some of that kind stuff to surface eventually.
