· A Damn Good Tan (PG)

WATCH THIS IN HIGH DEF: http://www.vimeo.com/906886 GOOGLE MAP LOCATIONS (Enter these coordinates) -Peak of Mt. Allen: 34.120376,-118.932323 -My Secret Tanning Spot: 34.110938, -118.958861 TITLE CHANGE: "Naked Mountain Tan" made people think this video was something that it wasn't and I don't want people to NOT watch this just because it says "naked" in the title. This is a clean video, so I just cleaned up the title. THE PARODY: Lately, two things have been hurting... My heart and my pocket book. My heart because my blood pressure was insanely high and to the point where the doctor almost put me on meds. So I've been doing my best to stay fit, which is why I've been climbing high places so much lately. My pocket book hurts because Uncle Sam took a good chunk out of me (taxes). I'm not pinching dimes or anything, I'm doing just fine... I just has to express my frustration. As for naked tanning... While searching for places to mountain climb, I came across the "red naked man" and thought it would be fun to make a story from it. So there ya go : ) BEHIND THE SCENES: I was alone when I made this video, so I had to take all of my equipment up the hill by myself. It was one hell of a work out, but I needed it. The new camera (Canon XH-A1) is working great! I just need to practice a little bit more to get the shots that I want. I've been shooting everything on manual settings without a monitor, so it'll take a few more videos until I get it all down. My biggest problem was that I only had about 25 minutes on the tape and I forgot to grab another one before I left the house. I would have liked to get a few extra shots in, but I'm not sweating it. WEIRD ERRORS IN THE VIDEO: Just as I start coming off of the hill to tan, the picture is suppose to go all black until the epic "eye opener" shot, but for some reason the shot goes back to the first cliff. Also, the audio seems to jump around just before the part where I say "don't fall, don't fall". The strange thing is, these errors don't happen in the raw video... So was it a YouTube glitch? I uploaded the same video to Vimeo in high definition and no errors there. Please YouTube, I love you but you've got to do something about these things. New players? Better processing? I don't know, just something better. In-Car Music: "Ready Forum" Strange Fruit Project http://www.OM-Records.com http://www.youtube.com/omrecords
