This is a "getting my feet wet again" video using footage I'd previously recorded. It's all still relevant, so I went with it. Dedicated to Zipper, Mighty Hunter of Snacks.

Interview with Gordon McMillan - Alberta Independence Party. Recorded April 2nd, 2019. Original sound was too low, imported backup sound source into video for audio clarity. The bit of an echo is intentional, this way I can show that the audio was unaltered other than importing the clearer audio. Apologies for the loudness of the audio as well, it was normalised, but Gordon is a quiet guy so the background volume is pretty loud. At the end of the interview, there's a brief dropout where we go back to original audio before the credits. I felt that those interested in Gordon's message will be willing to put up with a bit of sound wonkiness in order to hear what he has to say. Thanks yet again to Mama's in the Kitchen in Alberta Beach for letting me do these interviews there!

Interview with Alex from Curiosity Inc. https://www.curiosityedmonton.ca/ Curiosity Inc 10056 164 Street Edmonton, AB T5P-4Y3 curiosityedmonton@gmail.com (780) 444-0386 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.. go to his YouTube channel and subscribe! We shot this video roughly between parts 7 and 8 of Potter's House, he had some of the attic insulation in his car when I met him outside the store that would be going into the house in part 8. And a person can be judged by their actions, I love Alex's idea of eccentric which I get! (If you're broke, you're crazy, if you're rich you're eccentric). That's my goal as well! Super nice guy, we messaged back and forth for a week until we could shoot this. Second live interview, so if Darren sounds rushed or nervous, it's because he was trying to keep within ten minutes and was aware that a customer could walk in any moment to end the interview. Thanks again to Alex!
