BTS COMMENT (Because I don't have enough views to have a Members Section). You savages are welcome to go ruin my day on other videos of mine too, but fun fact that TH-cam just told me: This is the video of mine that has the worst DOWNVOTE ratio. Hahaha that is so mean, I hardly even do any of my regular weird nonsense in this video that deserves a couple downvotes for cheek, at least. This video is simply nice drone and aquarium footage. Anyway, BTS COMMENT.... I was in Plymouth because I had booked non-refundable (and I will continue to do so) car hire and accommodation down in this fabulous Port-City; in anticipation for a big work pow-wow thrown by the company I am currently contracted to. That plan shuffled slightly. They delayed it a week and moved it to France. I was in a bit of a pickle now though. Non-refundable meant that I probably couldn't afford to go to France on account of spending what little money I had without any hope of a refund, and also I did actually now possess these non-refundable things, so I might as well go honour them. And so, I had to spend 2 or 3 days in a luxury Air BnB at one of the most beautiful cities in England, with nothing but time and my various cameras at my disposal. Sarcasm aside, it was a lovely few days. I know that I didn't plan a holiday, and I was initially hoping to do work things, but if a holiday is foisted upon me, it would be rude not to accept. And so I went down to Plymouth. I did my usual thing of driving around a bit and doing no real creative effort to find cool things. I just see what cool things are close to the car park, then go home and celebrate with a bottle of Prosecco and let Editor-Kris figure the video out. I just had to get a bit of footage. No one said I need to hang off cliff-faces to make videos. Bear Grylls probably has that content on his channel. If anyone actually comes back to my channel, it probably is for videos off the beaten track. You probably love this stuff! Well, not you actually, cos it has all the downvotes remember. You clearly hate it. But I appreciate little effort and nice results. Feels like a style of mine I should lean into. Just kidding obviously, slightly, sort of. I think I put effort in. I can only realistically put true "genius natural talent" down to about 80 or 90%. There is plenty of space for a good hard few minutes work. How long do you think it took me to get that awesome 1-second piece of footage of the seagull that looks at the camera? Correct, barely any effort at all. I was at the Tesco, got myself some pretzels and he was literally sitting right by my car. I did give him half of my bag of pretzels though, cos he earned it. That half a bag of pretzels went to the talent, and I am not ashamed to say so. That tiny little boat nook with the sailboats and castle and the Prime vehicle was a really nice find actually. Because I have a professional drone, it means I can't launch it unless the area complies with local air traffic zones. And unfortunately, Plymouth is also a giant RAF Navy Harbour thing.... So there are quite a few RED zones that you can't fly because literal secrets my King wants to keep on the DL, like that BT tower that one time. I was actually just driving around until I found somewhere I could legally send the bird up, and this little seaside town was actually perfect. I loved it. Quick side note: I don't like other people watching me. And I extend that feeling for others, with my own drone. I don't really like flying over people and populated places. So when I come to a place like this, I try and find a nice secluded place to do my thing. I don't really want to make anyone uncomfortable knowing that some sneaky flying robot is recording them. Obviously this is a little tricky when you want to record all of the awesome things that the tourists also want to look at... But I try to make it work. I think my style works for nice videos, and I don't think any real life people have been truly mad at me. Of course there are always some people mad at you. Like you, with those downvotes... Fine I will let it go, no need to start a fight. I don't like conflict. I would love if everyone loved me. But that seems very far fetched, I am still trying to convince that fictional half of humanity that is meant to like all of the polarising people to do their part and like me to begin with. I will get there. And when I do, TH-cam will give me a nice fancy golden play button. Thanks a lot Google. Where am I supposed to put that? I live in a tiny London flat, I don't have space for awards.... Correct, put it in my Studio, obviously.
