Its a big day today! I wanted to do something special to celebrate my YouTube anniversary this year (coming up next week!) so I thought it would be fun to do our first ever remake of an older video! Our 2014 version of Dire, Dire Docks is still one of the most popular videos on my channel, which I always felt mixed about since the audio & video recording quality were just SO terrible I always wanted to at least re-record it someday, and when Paula and I started working on our album I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to finally do it justice!
Initially I wanted to shoot this one at an aquarium, or by a lake, but trying to do that with the harp wasnt really practical or possible :-/ So we just filmed the harp indoors, and I filmed my own parts out by the lake (In retrospect, it ended up being the brightest, hottest, most uncomfortable experience so I was so glad we didnt go through with trying to get a harp out there Also, special thanks to IsrafelCello for his help filming me at the lake!!)
All the nature footage came from trips to the local aquariums here - I was able to get so much good stuff so hopefully I can think of some other water themed vids for the future haha!
Also, I mentioned I had wanted to do this for my YT anniversary event, but were also going to have my first ever LIVESTREAM to celebrate next week! Most likely on Sunday Sept 6 since thats the actual anniversary date, but Ill keep you posted :D Were celebrating 7 years (!!) on YouTube with some Q&A, well watch some old videos, and just have a fun time hanging out! Ive been working REALLY hard to get a good stream set up together and Im so excited :D :D :D
HUGE THANKS to my Patreon producers for this video: Rian Hunter, Josh Whelchel
