Yes. Shooting while touring with a group is challenging but it gives opportunity to get the history straight. By that I mean that us old people do forget exactly where we have been and when. For example, I remember we did take a cruise that spent time in New Zealand. I can remember Auckland -- but not much about Wellington. Well -- It's all in the video. Dates and details. All I need is a system to be able to find that particular video on my media drive and wham -- all the details about our day in Wellington are on display. No arguing with the video, whereas left to our poor memories and we get dates wrong by magnitudes of years!
No question, my wife and I are the biggest fans of our own "trip videos" .. like fine wine, they take time to mature, but once enough time has gone by we love playing them back. We always say "OMG I have forgotten that happened" ... A good example is that I did remember that Le Harve was bombed by the Allies in WWII costing the locals enormously in loss of the life and property but I had forgot how bad that really was ...also .. pronouncing Le Harve correctly .. it's all in the video.
Link was wrong Alfred .. You linked to the Lego Drone. Brilliant. The whole thing is amazing, including the filmmaking. His knowledge, brains and dedication are a marvel. A little research tells me he ( I assume a he) is from Finland.
Correct link to Submarine
Lego submarine
I found out a little more about him on Facebook.
I’m a Finnish middle-aged guy and I run the channel by myself. I have worked for over 10 years as a software engineer. This video creation hobby combines the things I have always liked – physics, math and visual arts.

How long into the future do you think this scenario will be, and who would be the unlucky person being gently bullied into submission?
It would take a genuine, bona fide, credentialed art critic to determine what I meant in the film and to devise a time table for future events that are foretold in the story. Only a critic can uncover the true meaning within the work of art. Filmmakers are mere mortals and cannot tell why something appeals to the inner being of other mortals. Critics are Gods who throw thunderbolts from the heavens. I've been hit by a few so I know.
Meanwhile, I'm still getting robo calls while the FCC fiddles.
Recently the FCC Chairwoman made this statement, ""We’re not going to stop until we get robocallers, spoofers, and scammers off the line.”
I’m skeptical that they can. These robo callers are crafty buggers – and besides, would it necessarily be a good thing? Will we go too far?
I made a little film of what might happen.

To a man of 71, that seems just like yesterday, I do not think I could be bothered to edit anything using the equipment Sue Robbie was demonstrating. https://youtu.be/_cnQv8JCsX4
Wow Albert. Thanks for posting. This took me back to those days. I did quite a bit of editing this way. Laborious to be sure. Basically just “add-on” editing and music dubbing. My final project along these lines was to take about 30 years of 8mm footage and cut it down to about 90 minutes. I transferred the 8mm by doing an “optical transfer”, meaning that I used the video camera to shoot the projected image of the 8mm. The quality was weak but It was a family favorite as the kids grew up in a little over an hour.

Did someone say post your videos here? .. Ok .. Trip videos. Maybe that's a whole subject for discussion. They can be deadly dull and too long for human consumption. But, what the heck, this might interest somebody here.

I don't use PagePlus much. I didn't know anything about ppb files .. but I managed to create one just now. I'm running Windows 10 21H1.
My last windows update was about 2 weeks ago.
As far as I can tell. All is well with my PagePlus x9.

I recall another video you've made featuring neighbours and aliens which I enjoyed. Please post the link.

AMAZING .. never knew stuff like this exists.
Thanks Albert and Alfred for the kind comments. In my youth, I had a brief career as a filmmaker. Things were so much more difficult to do in those days. Film was expensive and therefore limited. Shooting required enough light. A simple "superimposition" of a title was an optical effect that required lab work. You needed an audio studio and a sound mixer. And a myriad of other things and people to do them. Now, with digital camera equipment, computers and video editors, it still amazes me how much one can in the way of filmmaking all by yourself. It is possible to be a one-man-band.
Here's an example:

The other forum must have been the Vegas Pro forum. I use Vegas to edit video and WebPlus for websites. I assume you too?
I made a short film some months back. It might be of some interest to some on these boards since I used WebPlus in a part of the production of the film.
I notice that there is not much activity here, but no harm in posting. Comments are welcome.
