Newsletter #191 - Ambient Videos
Press play and walk away
The average human attention span is 8.25 seconds.
That’s down from 12 seconds in the year 2000. More than half of people say they skip any video longer than 60 seconds, even if they’re interested in the topic.
That’s why I started a YouTube channel, where I make ambient videos that are sometimes as long as two hours.
They’re meant to be put on your TV and left there. Background. Ambiance.
Something quiet in a room while you do something else, or nothing at all.
In a way they are just screensavers, but every now and then something unexpected might happen.
Every now and then, I use ambient music. Like in this one:
Sometimes it’s actually just me walking around and talking to myself. That’s a totally normal thing to do.
I might be working on the paths in my woods.
Sometimes I’m just taking pictures. It’s really not that deep.
Oh, do you like the landscape photograph I make of the black walnut tree?
I’ve been making a whole bunch of them.
Here is a trailer to give you a taste of the experience.
The channel is called KALINA.
