I’ll link those first videos here in case you haven’t been forced to watch them yet.Īnyway, shortly after posting these first videos, we noticed that they had 150+ views. We had learned from years of experience to “stop shooting when it gets boring” so that we didn’t need to edit (remember how I mentioned that editing was ‘painful’). This is the footage shot from the camera, with nothing removed. These early videos (Cultivating Corn with the 1025R, John Deere 1025R Hilling Potatoes and Corn with Disk Hillers) had no editing whatsoever. Technology had moved ahead, so now we started posting videos on YouTube for them to watch since it was easier than creating and mailing DVDs. Since both sets of grandparents were farmers (more on that in Christy’s write-up), they were intrigued by the tractor and our (lack of) need for it. In 2014, Tim finally convinced Christy that he NEEDED a tractor! This was no small feat, as the < 1/2 acre plot where they live could be mowed with a push mower (assuming Tim didn’t eat so many cheeseburgers). Each of these videos would be put on DVD, and mailed to the ‘grandparents’ so that they could see the exploits of their brilliant and beautiful grand-daughter 🙂
Tim wasted many hours and $$ trying to make decent videos. Video editing was difficult (and expensive) at the time. This device recorded the family fun for many years to come. Shortly before Katriel was born, he bought a $2,500 “the best you can buy” consumer level Mini-DV camcorder. Tim has always had a passion for home video. Unfortunately, we didn’t decide to start uploading videos other than piano concerts etc., until 2015. The story begins LONG before YouTube even existed. We are often asked how we got started on YouTube.
