City Soundscape, Mill Race Beautification Park, Salem, OR

Disclaimer: Almost nothing happens in this 15+ minute video, and that's on purpose.
I have recently gotten into binaural walking videos. I love watching people walking around cities for an hour at a time with just the ambient sounds, and no specific destination. It's amazingly relaxing for me.
While I don't have the equipment to do that (yet), I decided to experiment with an ambient sound video in my favorite park in Salem. I love small parks with city sounds all around, and a backdrop of tall buildings. I grew up in the middle of the forest, so parks like these are a fascinating juxtaposition.
Equipment
Video: Moto X4 cellphone
Audio: Zoom H1
Audio editing: Audacity
Video editing: Shotcut
I was also experimenting with a homemade dead cat wind dampener (not a real dead cat -- look it up). It worked pretty well, but I think I can do better, and I've already got plans for a Mark II. Once I'm satisfied with the result, I'll make a video about it (maybe).

I plan on making a few more of these. I spent the evening researching DIY binaural recording, so that may happen at some point in the future . . .

Thanks! If by safe you mean practice social distancing, I've been practicing that for years. I didn't exactly pick the most popular park to film this in ;-)
