I am Glenn Campbell.
I travel continuously and create videos every few days wherever I happen to be, mostly uploaded to YouTube. However, many of my YouTube videos are "unlisted", so I have created this page to index most of them.
My videos, listed below, fall into these general categories:
Character Videos,
Edited Travel Videos,
Video Postcards,
Philosophy Videos,
Songs,
Experiments and
Miscellaneous.
You'll also find an
Overview and History of my video career.

Overview and History
General information on my video making.
|
To see nearly ALL of my videos, including the unlisted ones, see
My Twitter Announcements of
new videos as they are published.
On-Line Formats
I now upload all of my videos to YouTube.
However, only the best ones are "public", because
I don't want new visitors to be distracted by my mediocre work. The rest of my videos are
"unlisted", meaning you can access them only if you have the URL. I will eventually index
most of these videos in the list above. (Only a few private videos will remain invisible.)
Some of my earliest videos are stored on Facebook (about 45 of them), but I no longer use Facebook for new videos.
For a while, I uploaded some cellphone videos to
TwitVid
(13 videos). I intended this feed for unedited, spur-of-the-moment videos shot with my iPhone. However, I eventually decided to upload these to YouTube instead (usually unlisted, but visible above and on my Twitter Index). Also see this:
Twitter index of TwitVid iPhone videos as they were published.
History and Equipment
I took a few travel videos in a pre-internet era, but nothing memorable. I resumed video in May 2010. My first-ever uploaded video was "Rooster Eats my Ice Cream" on May 6, 2010.
My first upload to YouTube was The L.L. Bean Boot
on May 23, 2010.
I tried several video cameras in 2010, but finally settled on the Canon Vixia HF M300. (It was stolen once, and I bought the same model again, which indicates my happiness with it.)
This camera does full 1024p hi-def, but I usually edit and upload in 720p.
I also take spontaneous travel videos with my iPhone 4.
I edit videos using Cyberlink Power Director, which does just about everything I want.
However, I stabilize shaky videos using the YouTube
Editor, which does a better job than Cyberlink.
Be sure to see the separate page for
my photo albums.
(This list includes a geographical listing of most of my videos.)
