Setting the Scene
Below is an unsorted list of suggested frames, exercises and practices to be used with youtube videos in the genre of a first person city walk through.
The list is unsorted (as mentioned above). It was noted over the course of several morning zoom meetings in which E.J. Gold shared street walk videos from the previous night’s youtube excursion. in various cities. If you look through older posts on GorebaggsWorld.com, you can find some of the videos he presented.
Just so you know, the list is approximately 90% direct transcript of suggestions. However, there can be as much as 10% associated notions that popped into my head during the note taking. I was jotting the list down for my own use, so I took the liberty to add suggestions that occurred to me at the time. As always, you are the final arbiter of what you use.
If you have questions about this exercise, or other practices, get in touch.
