The Hamilton Falls

So a couple day ago... I was stuck on the train for 2 hours so I looked through what videos from the summer holiday I still hadn't gotten around to editing and this video came up! So I managed to edit this up while being locked in the train. Hope you enjoy!

Backstory, I saw a couple of friends had taken pictures at the Albion Falls throughout the summer and I saw how pretty it was so we decided to go on a mini road trip and hike around Hamilton looking at the beautiful waterfalls! (Hamilton is famous for their waterfalls... roughly 100 waterfalls are located around the area). We got to visit two waterfalls on that day: the Albion Falls and the Devil's Punchbowl. The second waterfall was more of a fail because there wasn't enough water in the river to create a cascade... hiking to the vantage point was more interesting than the waterfall itself.

Exploring Scarborough Bluffs

So a couple of weeks ago... when it was still summer vacation and the weather was still nice, we decided to go on a family picnic at the Scarborough Bluffs. We woke up really early, and I drove to the park... it was a 30 minute drive so it wasn't really far. Then we had breakfast and then explored the park until it started to get too hot and we left.

Therefore we didn't spent a lot of time and I didn't capture a lot of footage. I tried to create a very artistic video with what I had recorded that day so I hope you enjoy!

(SEPT 26 UPDATE: I noticed that the video was blurry so I went back to my video editing software to see that I had exported the video in medium quality instead of high so I reexported and reuploaded the video! Hopefully it looks better now!)

TO2015 PanAm Games Opening Ceremony Vlog

A huge throwback to when I was invited to go watch the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games Opening Ceremony (Dress Rehearsal) all the way back in July.

A little background on the ceremony... It was created by Cirque Du Soleil, a world famous Canadian entertainment company renowned for their circus shows. Therefore you can imagine the ceremony was very entertaining to watch... However, there were a lot of abstract meaning to the ceremony and I did not quite understand until I watched the real one on TV with live commentary. The commentary really helped me understand the message behind the show.

Here is a video showcasing my favourite parts of the whole show... Since it was a rehearsal, a lot of the special effects were saved for the actual show which was happening the next day. Nonetheless, I still had a great time! My seats although were in the highest level, I had a bird's eye view of the entire stage and was dead centre too!
