Over 10 years ago Penni liked some of my ideas and gave me a contact with a guy at the park.. retelling some of the ideas he said it is like eating an elephant, one bite at a time.
Thinking about a book and video. It might take me hours to capture what I want, put it in a 2 minute video with music playing.
I know my voice would drive off zombies.
I thought you guys would be the perfect authors. When people go out they just make up videos as they go along,kind of like this one vid1 , but if they had a script.
Starting, the video would include a tourist theme, info about the times to come up to watch a sunset, how to capute photos and a little science about clouds.
You have 3 generations who have returned to Mt Pleasant over the years... (maybe 4 in the future) 😉
Our videos are usually created out of one visit... I captured still pics and videos atOld Man's cave through the seasons for over a year and pasted them together in a 20 minute video.
Just making clips/segments the way you want. They could each be narrated, after clips were pasted together, a low volumn music to be played, mixing with the voice.
Many facebook groups are into history : FH HG While they jump around topic to topic, some might be interested in gleaning information to create a historic book on Rising Park
Don't know if the guy got in trouble, but in the years I have been on Mt P, I have never seen em bringing anyone up in their truck. 👀
Just me n the dog, I have just captured people on top before they manage to escape but someone with friends n family who loved the magic mountain could do lots of stuff.
It has been years since I have went down by the metal stairs. I just bought a camera to capture gps and compass readings, trying to control the pup I will try to go down .. just pics of rocks, not so great, better with people.
I created maps like this to integrate. But in a printed book .. how would that work, just adding a qr code on a page.
Internet domains can be sold for thousands if popular, and I think risingpark.com is just that.
If you forget to renew it (I did once) someone will scoop it up and charge $$$.. ugh
When anyone clicks on it, there endless links, videos, photos they can visit.
Now it cost about $15 a year to keep registered. I think it will be good till 2035. Long after I am gone.
I can add admins to the domain, to manage or take over. I can not imagine anyone other than you guys that might be canidates. Needing nothing cept paying when the domain registration expires.
I am in the middle of transfering it to another provider now then pay up.
For one year I am going to add a connected email, I think I will use photos@risingpark.com . These are about $7 a year and others can be added.
Knowledge of photoshop +++
As for a novel, looks like Courtney might have a crew to collect info over the years, might even use a bit of it in school assignment projects.. n of Penni has so much to offer.
