Canoe Trip Video
Here’s a video I made about the canoe trip I took with my brother and a friend this summer in Mississippi.
It’s really just a (very) glorified slide show, intermingled with a little video that I shot on my camera. I planned on having more video, but the disposable video camera I bought from CVS just didn’t work… should have tested it.
The soundtrack includes Black Water, by the Doobie Brothers, Dueling Banjos from the Deliverance soundtrack (if you’ve seen the movie then you understand the nightmarish significance of that), Copperhead Road, by Steve Earl, and Gonna Fly Now, by Bill Conti, from the Rocky soundtrack (shot out to Philly!). There are also a lot of layered sound effects, so I’d watch it with some good audio, turned way up.
My brother kept bugging me about how long this took to finish up, but I always turn these kinds of things into a big production.
For a bigger view, download the video to your desktop and play it from there, then stretch your video player bigger.

Loved the video. Couldn’t help but notice the Philly connection in the last musical number.

Dayton, you never cease to amaze me. What a fun video. I say, from the Black Creek to the White River in NW Arkansas for “next year…”. Our fish are bigger, the water moves, …the air moves in a lovely never-edning breeze…Love, Mama
