I did something similar, but different. Rather than video, I shot long exposure timelapse without a tripod as they are forbidden to use by the fair organization. So it was more of an exercise in "hide and watch" mentality (after being sent back to the car to put up the tripod) to be able to shoot the footage in the style I wanted. Came back the next night with a monopod, and they said no to that as well. Nevermind that while I was doing my thing without any *pod, I counted at least 20 other people using tripods. It was me, my Matthellini clamp, a ball head, and a bunch of people looking at me like I had 3 heads.

Yeah, you'll never please everybody with music selection, so I just go with whatever I'm in the mood for at the time. Fun fact, I found that track on YouTube, reached out to the artist for permission to use it. His response was "yeah, sure. cool vid." He was just a teenager at the time, so I thought that made it a bit more interesting in an inside baseball kind of thing vs just some random track on a stock site.

Yesterday there was an article about 1000-year-old jokes... without including a single joke. Why are people writing such useless articles?
