    I'm surprised on how yous are not separating the bricks from the vernal waste

  • @constructionwatcher5381

    They did. They just did it by stirring the pile until the light stuff came to the top, rather than trying to separate it as it fell.

    I don't think so. First, note how carefully they separated all the metal and the vinyl siding. Then watch what they actually put in the box. There is very little masonry going into it. All that stirring of the debris pile was to bring the light stuff to the top so they could load it in the box first. So when they got done all they had left in the pile was the masonry with very little other debris. They could then haul it away separately.

    Everything has a lifespan. Wood only lasts so long and if it was too far gone, it's just not worth saving. Houses don't have memories -- people do. If the place is unable to host new people, there's no point in maintaining it. Not every home is a museum piece. With that said, modern construction is boring and not made to last. We need to do better.

    I think because such items are fragile and break into small useless fragments, and difficult to sort out of the debris. There is no realistic way to do it that would make economic sense. The larger items such as steel can be sorted and recycled. In addition, there is no reuse value in the window frames and glass.

    Thanks, John. Very interesting material. I was surprised that flame cutting those big beams into pieces is the best available method. Too bad so much very interesting footage was lost because the photographer didn't know how to pan at a speed that creates viewable video.

  • @JohnZWetmore
    @JohnZWetmore17 күн бұрын

    I tell new videographers that they should spend a lot of time editing what they film. That is how you learn what works, what doesn't, and what additional shots you wish you had taken. I would guess that those rapid pans were taken by someone who has done very little editing. In addition to slower pans, I would advise holding shots longer. I try to always hold a shot for at least 10 seconds, but I have filmed for producers who wanted shots at least 20 seconds long, even if they might use it for less than 5 seconds. It gives you a lot more flexibility in editing.
