2023-07-28 | 8 messages --- **You:** Please summarize the following transcript, turning key points into an example or an explaination for a high school student to grasp: Angelina and I have come to the Pacific Northwest specifically to Moser on a piece of land that Garth Hardin has just occupied [Music] I woke up this morning it's been sub freezing it's been really really cold and had [Music] thoughts trying to understand if I should shoot something and imagining what it might be and the thought is that beginning of the book the first two um volumes are essentially I do you watch and that the we do we watch is maybe just now beginning for Garth you see I didn't have a father hey growing up that would show me that would do with me so it's almost as though I would skip that part expecting Garth to be able to just shoot his own story to know the way to instinctively recognize the importance of the mundane the clip I had shot explaining a bit more was corrupted because I mistakenly shot it in slow motion no audio track the point of it was that the men that I had the privilege of being mentored by over my lifetime told me what to do they didn't show me what to do they directed me they didn't model for me that's what I've learned about scotomaville getting lots of clips takes lots of time you'll see in the upcoming scenes many many camera angles think in your mind how many times the camera had to be set up and you go to it and you come back to get the camera no you walk away from it and get anyway having lots of different angles having lots of angles that you can cut and edit is very important [Music] because it's self-reflection video modeling you're going to see this even in the mundane later discover that even the small things matter when you're trying to put together a story you don't always know where the b-roll is going to fit I want to shoot this piece as the main track of the story and I'm not sure exactly where it's going but I'm going to trust that in following that unction this will plan out not so much planned but this will pan out you see so today we have a small task we have the mundane to do we're going to do this together I think and then we're going to use this to this track in order to stitch together the video and in that I will do with him we will do and we will watch so it would be easy to miss an opportunity because it's playing boring something simple as the coffee percolating [Music] knowing when to record what might be important can be a thing that you hesitate on you you think it's just a mundane all we're going to do today we just need to fix some of the components of a table say I have to go get the tools it's cold outside [Music] foreign I gotta get the um clamp and the drills and the screws just to put a leg back on a table we've got to go inside and foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] clear the table turn the table over glue the pieces together and drill it out and fasten it back together foreign [Music] and now we'll take two [Music] look too sharp where are you going I think they call this the Walk of Shame all right so um when we're trying to do something and we run into you know uh something that was generally unforeseen like a battery suddenly um not um being drained and having to um not just get another battery but another drill um and change out the bit and blah blah blah blah all of these little things um add up and disallow us from reaching our goal for that 10 minute period that hour that half a day that day that week [Music] girth your name for Murphy's right the spuds yeah I love it Murphy just buzzing around like a dung flying so it's not just that you're gonna be shooting b-roll to cover your main track you're gonna have all the redo undo and this actually turns out to be the funny story perfect but everybody wants to know absolutely perfect what's the reality of all I wanted to do was put a screw in it actually has to go out there's a tornado a hurricane [Music] and just in case we're gonna bring two not to be walking over there but you don't see what I'm doing okay now that the tip fits the end of the screw in a moment of hesitation the remainder of the job right there's no screws in here these are these are up [Music] the reason they call it the shame is because you didn't slow down enough the first time to see what you were really going to have to be up against more time [Music] watch out [Music] so that's a matter of just finding right the glue won't come on [Music] foreign turn it right side up put it back where it belongs just a bunch of mundane steps in repairing a table see but the importance might be that we do and we watch not for the fixing of the table but for the passing of the Baton for the transfer of the importance of observing with new eyes in believing that there is a story to be told even within the Journey of the mundane I think that's largely the lesson here that we create something and we watch what comes out coffee beans coffee beans [Music] okay so they're all rolling in my chair is hooked up on the leg of that so that'll move it around so we have three and now we need to get a Mark in the audio track to synchronize multi-camera Spike okay all right so I woke up this morning on day three or four and of our progress so this Baton Pass and the drawings that I just did and I went okay I'm feeling annoyed there's a couple of other issues and uh this drawing I realized is wonky first I wanted to say I have keep track of progress of this journey just so that I've got a written um Journal of it see that even even these kind of things civil term cap or social dashboard that I posted for you on it Twitter so I would suggest getting one of these Fred Meyers 10 bucks because this is really easy to keep next to your bed and just jot and then you go back to sleep and you don't have to lay there going go to sleep go to sleep go to sleep right boy that would help yeah I I wrote this list of uh you know shoot the uh the main track shoot the b-roll Pinnacle template you're going to find this almost hilarious and that if you don't keep yourself organized in one place as soon as you uh discover you need the b-roll of that you'll probably have to walk to the dumpster to get it out because it'll be loose paper I don't need this anymore I'm done no keep it all together you'll want to keep it all in one place so that when you realize you have to refer back to it for b-roll then you don't have to dump to your dump to your walkster and you're very likely going to find the auto rotate constantly in the way then what we did is uh we spent a day upgrading your laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 10 and getting the drivers to work and then each of the devices so cell phone GoPro to backup drive transfer all the dry all the stuff and then we built a template in Pinnacle uh so the first day all right get in the table second day getting the the equipment the tools to work and then uh I said okay Garth let me show you mine here's here's the timeline so far up to this midpoint that we're at and then here are the tasks next go for it what the hell is wrong with that Daniel why did I wake up all wonky well remember the Clifton strength binders assessment the strengths uh who is strongest and weakest in what that are our strength becomes our offender offenders and how we think it's chapters and that is right out of life skills class offending in our strengths and it is most certainly almost all the time us katoma my top strength achiever yours adaptability adaptability okay so look what happens I start I take a couple of days and I you know like one and I crank out here's the video Garth ready go and I expect two days okay well we're on day three and I'm like what the hell come on Garth you inside of me I'm pressing my own wounded expectations onto your performance not understanding you're adapting in your strength to all the that you have to deal with to all this new stuff including all of this preceding and editing uh God and and everything electronic because me plus electronic Gadget equals power grid outage and industrialized round and flickering lights so I have to adjust my expectations that this could be whatever your timeline needs to be to get there and that this is not you do I watch already this is supposed to be we do we watch yeah so I'm like oh error correction Daniel change your expectation stop having that thing go on okay and then I went oh this is what's going on remember this Maslow's hierarchy the early Maslow's was Earth can't do anything until he gets his Basics taken care of and then he can move on to other stuff and they went no no no no that's not correct we can work on all of these other aspects of actualization and meaning and purpose and uh contribution we can do that while we're doing this it's just that we do a lot less of it right because of that I can agree yeah right yeah okay so that's actually what's going on my expectations are out of order well along those things like getting dressed are really difficult because I don't have the use of my fingers and I can't grab anything I can't pinch anything and it's just it's maddening it's absolutely maddening in every single time that I go to grab something pinch something manipulate something my brain is telling my fingers and hands to do something and they don't do it and there is a sensation in my arms and my hands that is beyond description but it is a very unique sensation and it has come to be a constant reminder of I'm I'm I'm handicapped I'm an invalid I can't I won't all this stuff and it is it makes me so angry and so frustrated that I literally I have amygdala hijackings on a daily basis they've been a bit less since they got here because I didn't want them to see it after 11 months of being in this ridiculous environment of a motel with all kinds of literal Section 8 social program Nut Cases surrounding the place and interrupting the place on a daily basis pretty much and then the year before that being renting a garage that turned out to be ready to me illegally and I was reported to the building department because of it um all of those kinds of things made my spirit very restless and [Music] um through a progression of sequenced events I got here to this cabin that has some some challenges but it is in a beautiful place it is out away from The Madness of Hood River this has become a tremendous tremendous opposite of what I've been in for two years and it is taking a tremendously longer time to sink into my brain that hey here you are now you've got your own place you can be your own director in a sense there are no words to describe that you know I I mean focus on that on that on that picture if you can yeah um it involved the necessity of very solid nutrition and in trying to make my body as injury resistant as possible and at the same time develop everything I could psychologically and physically to mitigate injury to hit that jump want to go off that drop want to negotiate that step up want to learn to increase your balance to ride that skinny that leads up to a gnarly jump um or gnarly drops all of this was it was a tremendous focus of time and energy and it significantly decreased great many other things it was a tremendous source and so it's been a trim it's been horrifying loss horrifying it just I mean even you can't I cannot even come close to describing it enough um but there's nothing I can do about it but to attempt to again to deal with it in a in an effective way make something good out of it find a way to straighten the vertebrae in my neck and possibly reverse these these these tremendously bad um effects --- **ChatGPT:** In this transcript, a person named
