Clip of the Day 08

ClipOfDay08 from Dayn Arnold on Vimeo.

The drama unfolds as I explain why we are stuck out in the middle of nowhere, part of a drama-filled day. By the way, thanks to Andrew for asking me if he could drink the last of the water that a passing motorist gave us. It was very polite considering our being stranded. Also, my EX1 is a little heavy to be holding at arm's-length for any period of time. I don't recommend it for self-portraits unless you have a tripod.

Clip of the Day 07

A group of us were waiting on some friends to fix flat tire on one of our group's scooters. We stopped at this road-side shop, and waited alongside the family who ran the shop. A truck pulled up with several adults and a few children in the bed of the pickup. Despite the 95+ degree heat, these women were wearing full covering. It could be that they were covered for religious beliefs, but my suspicion is that they're trying not to get that working-class dark skin. It's amazing how many people in Thailand cover up and use whitening creams to keep from getting dark. The grass is always greener, I suppose.

A bunch of monks in training at a monastery not far from where I was staying. So great to see a bunch of boys just being boys.

There are a handful of tall buildings in ChaAm, and the one from which I shot this timelapse may be the tallest. At dusk a group of us strolled past the sleeping guard, entered the hotel from the beach, took an elevator as high as we could, and another couple flights of stairs until we were on the roof of the building's highest section. It was incredibly windy and in order to get a good timelapse, I had to hold my tripod down to it wouldn't vibrate so much. My favorite part of the shot is the guys with flashlights wandering around down by the water.

Clip of the Day 02

Again, I'm posting unedited clips every day for the next while so that my footage doesn't just sit on my harddrive not doing anything.

We heard music in the distance and accidentally stumbled upon this acrobatic act apparently being done for the young monks in training. Still not sure why they were doing it.

Clip of the Day 01

So right now I'm very busy with a lot of things, and my footage from Thailand will just sit fallow on its harddrive for nobody to see. So I've decided to upload one clip per day for the next while. There will be no editing or correction. Just an entire clip from the 550+ clips I took over the last couple weeks in Thailand, mistakes and all. Stay tuned.

How Dayn, Who Thought He Was Prepared, Got More Than He Bargained For

So I took a while yesterday morning to make this great water shield for my camera. It actually worked perfectly with only one little scare right at the beginning. This happened in 1/8 of a second, and I didn't have enough time to see it, let alone react to it. Immediately took care of it, and no damage done, thank the Lord.

Jason Eats Another Strange Food

This time Jason's eating an entire chicken's foot. It's not bad tasting, but the thought of eating the entire foot, bones and all, was a bit much for me. Didn't finish mine.
