Playing kittens on Canuckleaf

If you have visited Canuckleaf's Youtube channel lately, you have noticed that I haven't put out many videos as planned. I want to focus on quality and better content, but there is the danger of overperfecting videos. In order to avoid that, I've done a new video on a very slow machine. Currently, I'm far away from my main editing machine, so I'm somehow forced to make videos with the "offline file" method in Adobe Premiere. An offline file is a smaller low quality copy of the original AVCHD/MOV file your camera produces. Consequences of editing with original files can be hang ups and crashes. The preview doesn't work anymore and closing does not work. While using low quality copies, you can avoid these issues and you have a much faster workflow.

Back to video:
I'm not sure if you knew it, but a local TV station did a video about playing kittens in cubes back in the 70s. The video wasn't shown in ages and was redone just recently by the same station. My take on this video were that we took in three kittens, whose mother cat was killed in a road accident and as all three got more tame, we allowed them to play in our house. In one of those play hours, I had my camera with me, which is a DSLR... The iPhone set to timelapse mode, I could do my own version of that kitten video. First with the original (copyrighted) music, now with creative commons licensed music and newly revised editing...

Meow and hurr-purr available:

Stay tuned for muarrrr videos in future...
