that feeling when... | BEHIND THE SCENES (Patreon)

I tried my absolute hardest to create the least clickable title for this video, and I think I did a pretty good job. Similar to "$20k," it's easier for me to just refer to this video as "TFW" or "that feeling when..." and that's what I love about it. Nothing better than a title that gets abridged by its own creator.

Anyway, if you want to watch the behind the scenes footage, just click the video at the top of this page and pop in this password:

This was by far the most physically exhausting shoot I've done in a VERY long time. Who knew that dancing around in a mesh shirt in 25° F weather while lugging around camera equipment would be tiring?

It also helped produce this extremely great shot of Karen and I:

Just two normal people enjoying the snow. Karen is dressed for the weather. I, too, am dressed for the weather, kind of. The beautiful thing about filming goofy things in New York is that:

• You're never the most absurdly dressed individual (not that this outfit is absurd. I love to dress like a person who's elderly husband "mysteriously disappeared," leaving behind a considerable fortune)
• No one will ever ask you questions. They just walk by. This is normal.

Also, you can see in the bottom of this pic that we're using a new camera (a Sony a7R)! It has INCREDIBLE autofocus, which is extremely necessary for solo shooting, especially when I'm doing shots where I'm dancing around and moving out of the focal range quickly. I love my Canon C100, but this camera is smaller and easier to set up, which will help me shoot things a little faster when Karen needs to work at her actual job. The only reason I could get this camera was thanks to your support on Patreon, and I hope it helps us make better videos in the future! Thank y'all so much.

That said, I am extremely excited that this next video will be shot entirely indoors. I'm still achy from doing so many high kicks in the snow.
