The FILMING of Magic Carpet (bonus episode)

[@robertmstarr9028]

I'm new to your videos, but I've found them much better edited, less stilted and generally more enjoyable that most other such sites. I especially enjoy it when you "overlay" and blend yourself into a scene playing different parts of a musical arrangements, but, mostly, you have the eyes of and artist, so you see the beauty and you pick and choose the best bits out of the video you shoot. But, more importantly - for a fellow learning new or tried and true construction techniques for his own boat project dream - you reveal and explain the techniques the two of you have used successfully. Thank you . . .

[@scgarage6372]

The multiple Mayas' are Magic!!! I'll leave it there.

Standing applause; throughly enjoyable and commendable. Riveting.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Wow thanks so much Daniel! So glad this was interesting to you!

@@SailingMagicCarpet --Daniel Murray/. Not only exceedingly talented/ perseverant you are, but also gracious!

[@gorway7]

I love your video productions and I can see now why. Personally though, the one thing that elevates your productions above the rest Maya is your gift for story telling. I watched almost every episode of your stunning series North through the continent, and those times I was unable to, I listened to like a podcast. What struck me was your narrative was so immersive and engaging, it was a complete exerience in its own right. That really takes a special talent. Wishing you both every success in the rebuild and your future adventures.

[@charlenetownsend8895]

Dear girl, you are just brilliant. 💕

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thanks for everything Charlene

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

I think you two are super human you make each week just a little better showing us your adventures, I personally cannot wait for each new episode.

[@los4inspace378]

The candid moments are truly one of the most important and lovely parts of your videos. I love your authentic work so much!!!

💫⚡️ More than magic in this video✨⚡️This is a how to course, with distinct and understandable brilliance. Hooray Maya, Magic✨⚡️

[@readmycomment3157]

What a brilliant presentation. People dont realise how much work goes into these videos, how much thought and planning. Amazing insight.

[@nick.caffrey]

Thank you Maya. That was clear and helpful. Especially for this novice content creator.

[@katiecou2338]

I could listen to your videos for hours. The simple elegance of your stories helps me dream. Thank you for all the hard work.

[@daviddelrosario828]

You are on the the best story tellers on KZbin today. And, you are one bad ass violinist!

[@MarcelEling]

You are doing a great job, doing the boat and filming. It is also a nice memory of time for when you are older. 😉

[@edwardparkhurst9804]

The making of a legendary video of your life and times. Absolutely beautiful work of art that you have shown us that watch your channel. Outstanding job young lady thanks for sharing your story with us that are your fans.

[@user-yg1uw5lo1n]

So many layers of talents with this couple. Thank for sharing with us.

[@svviento2298]

Older video but we absolutely love your ability to tell a story using the tools you described here. There are far too many sailing YT ventures telling similar themes but you two do it in a way that simply speaks to us. Many thanks.

[@feudiable]

I'm pretty sure Aladino built a machine that can temporarily clone people, be it for musical multiple Maya interludes or be it for getting the sanding done quicker, there is no way you guys can get all the work done with only four hands!

[@paulsj9245]

It's only 3 1/2 hands - the rest for camera and lights!

[@clayfarnet970]

The best sailing channel on KZbin. You guys are incredibly talented…on so many levels. Keep doing what you enjoy…we will follow. 👍👍👍

[@paulkramer4176]

thanks for the explanations, your careful organization shows in the quality of your videos each week. I enjoy your channel more than any of the other sailing videos. A nice mix of content.

[@SailingMagicCarpet]

Thank you so much Paul!

[@billkurek5576]

I am on my 75th orbit around the sun on this beautiful rock we call earth. I remember your “one dollar boat” and you tearing down a small Diesel engine. Your dedication and persistence is amazing. Thank you so much. I’ll keep watching…..

[@carmeng8170]

I love getting behind the scenes info! I'm looking forward to watching the films with a sharper eye and noticing the establishing shots, a-roll, and b-roll. Thanks for an extra bit of entertainment this week.

[@ricdammar4605]

I found you during your “I phone days” and have never missed an episode. You are the one channel that i would send money to but i am retired and on a fixed income. So i try to help by watching entire seasons over and over. I have played guitar since i was nine years old and still play everyday, which makes me appreciate your music talent. I love your music and always wonder if the music in the video is yours.. keep up the outstanding work!

[@peterblockland1080]

For 36 years I worked in the engineering dept of a Canadian Broadcaster. Your secret is safe with me. It’s such a pleasure to follow your journey.

[@chrisfrench8323]

Thanks for you dedication to your craft. Your videos are wonderful.

[@malcolmmcgougan8372]

Loved the behind the scenes overview. There is method in your madness and your madness is very compelling. Amazing that you get to do the stuff and you get to film it... well done, I love the series.

[@sailingvivace]

Thank you. It’s so great to have this opportunity of looking behind the scenes :)

[@icewolfen6360]

Hi! I have been watching all your videos so far, but this one is truly epic! I live fulltime aboard a 31ft sailboat myself. And watching your channel have been at a great inspiration on my own journey. After my opinion Maya's voice is one of the most beautiful on KZbin and Aladino is one of the best teachers ever when it gets to boatwork on YT. The honest and joyful approach to the sailboat life is something I really enjoy to watch! Your my all time favourite YT channel. I'm a student for the next years. But as soon as I get a steady income. I will join you guys on Patreon. Keep up the good work!

[@shirleyboy8859]

Keep doing what you are doing... It is Wonderful and Charming.... :-)) xx

[@NECPER]

I watch your Channel every week sinde I discoved it on KZbin. I am a pleasure sailor myself from Denmark and you have just been sailing in our waters. In 2019 we crossed Sweden in our sailboat through the Götakanal. I like filming and I wish I had you skills for storytelling. Thanks for sharing how you do it. Thanks for many good and interesting episodes. I wish you both the very best journey through life. / Per Christensen, Denmark

[@yota4004]

well spoken. I didn't think I would particularly enjoy this episode, but I did. 👍

[@robertnixon3816]

Absolutely brilliant! I cannot for the life of me figure out how you have the time for all this and boat repair too! No less have a life! You both are amazing! What you broduce and release is very good videos that are clear and concise but also entertaining. Amazing! Carry on!

[@anthonyelyas2040]

I am not a camera nerd, but this was a REALLY interesting film!

[@curiositylandrover]

Have to be honest, I thought I would be bored with this video as I love your refit videos. However, I think this is one of your best episodes. I have made videos in the past and so very aware of the time and process. Your behind the scenes description and your work discipline are fascinating. Well done and as ever, love your videos.

[@braithmiller]

The early ones were far better than par, only getting much better. Aladino getting more interactive was noticed improvement.

[@richardp1522]

Maya: Hi from Calgary. Bravo so unique and extremely well done while continuing to be entertaining. Thanks

[@RBMawby]

Your videos have always been something that I look forward to including as a part of my week. I have been an avid high-performance dingy sailor since 1968. I have a Sidewinder and I have sailed monohulls up to a Morgan 50. I always enjoy the music, especially yours, as you well know, This was quite interesting and I appreciate the people who asked such good questions to draw you out so well. Bravo! Carry on and stay well.

[@williambrown9097]

You both are so smart and doing an awesome job. Very professional boat work and video work. We really appreciate this. Most you tubers think they need drama to get views. Honestly drama sucks and normally not enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

[@katehutto6004]

You are the best! I agree that personality adds so much.

[@markgallagher1376]

Wow, Maya, I had no idea there was so much work involved in making your videos. Thanks for doing it. I look forward to them every week.

[@larryarmer5388]

Not a lot of people could make this video as watchable as you did. Congratulations, and keep it coming. I look.forward to another episode by a talented Canadian.

[@edryan2926]

Spectacular! You are an artist at what you do. Continued success always, to you and Aladino. Well done!

[@gus2747]

The technical thing that impresses me most about your videos is the sound recording - how you have gotten decent violin recording out of an iPhone lodged in your shirt. But your scripts are the best part.

[@margaretforrest3365]

Dear Maya, thank you for your inspiring thoughts about the role of artistic discipline in your creative journey. My husband and I create stage musicals and he has a lively song composed many moons ago… “ the party is the process of getting the job done”; it describes our commitment from inspiration to realization and all the beautiful moments in between. I do so enjoy all the elements of your videos-your engaging collaboration with Aladino, the nuts and bolts of sailing, the melodic interweaving of sound, image and story!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@user-dp4qk1bv4u]

You are class, class, class. I subscribe to a lot of channels and yours is an absolute delight every time, no one else comes close. So thank you.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

So much work involved in filming while working on the boat. I discovered a recent fibreglass job I did I couldn't even film it and was more focused on getting the job done.

[@johnschmuck5589]

This was so informative and enjoyable to watch. You both have your strengths, and that is what makes you both a successful team! When you splash, I want to be there to cheer you on!

[@chriscardwell3495]

Thanks for chatting about the video making process. I appreciate the 4k video quality and the KZbin channels which have a freshness and naturalness which many professional media organisations e.g. the BBC in the UK, simple can not match. KZbin people are real - rather than injected into a video molded view. I really enjoy videos where the creators take delight in crafting something of great beauty. Another appealing aspect are creators who are willing to take risks and lead a more adventurous life - it encourages the more cautious to step out of our comfort zones. We should all do somethig scarey at least once a day? Thank you 🙂

[@Ambot51]

Thank you for highlighting the importance of writing each episode!

[@thomassherer8682]

Your current refit series is what hooked me into subscribing. There was something familiar looking in one of the video thumbnails so I started watching to investigate. I live near the marina that your new boat was trucked out of and am pretty sure I had seen it there. I look forward to seeing Magic Carpet II splash and do sea trials in the Salish Sea.

[@peterengel7885]

For a artist inspiration comes. Some times artists have have a inspiration block. A former art instructor brought up this subject and his solution was get to work and it will come. I found this to be true. I notice that it works for you. Thanks for the effort to put this all together, well done.

[@elementsofcreation8240]

[@1984nighthawk450]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!! When we begin our official shopping soon we will be making videos to do pretty much the same thing and of course, supporting you both and this really helps. WE LOVE YOU BOTH!! and THANK YOU so much for all the information you provide us! My friend Eric was very physically and mentally ill. To support him I helped him to make his little videos, he passed away on Jan 18th 2022 suddenly. I miss him dearly! So making videos of our lives together is extra special because although I never wanted to air our lives like that I agreed to allow it so he could do it and now he is dead before we could begin and that is why Marina and I are going to do something very similar to you both and this video will help us to do that and once again we are very thankful! You both are amazing!

[@emilecousineau2195]

Hello, thank you so much for sharing all the information. Makes us appreciate and love your videos even more. We knew it was a lot of work even more so now. You have an amazing way of telling the story even the sanding hihi. My husband really appreciates all the wood working as he is an artisan. Loved the canals series and the Netherlands as I was born in Holland. Your work is amazing, the boats, videos etc. Congratulations on such great work to both of you. Looking forward to more and more travels. Stay safe and well.( Anneke-) Ann and Emile from Quebec, Canada.

a VERY interesting episode. You two bring many perspectives to a sailing channel .. the deeper insights, to me, make this channel worthwhile. (But don't get me wrong: flying over waves will keep me glued, as well.)

[@daveamies5031]

Well it may surprise you that my favorite "Magic Carpet" videos are actually the story of Curlew and I always wished there was more of that story, not that that's going to be possible now. It could be fun at some point in the future to see what Curlew is doing now (hopefully being loved by her new owner) and maybe one day in the distant future to do the same with Magic Carpet I

[@monikastuckey8737]

[@davidstewart9233]

Thank-you for the content. As a practical person I follow with great anticipation. I love KZbin and watch a varied content. BUT. Lots of interesting topics are spoiled by bad camera shots that are so awful that although I love the subject I have to switch off. It is apparent that you have grasped the idiom of film making and you actually realise that to make a success of it you need to study, learn and most importantly have a flair for it. Good luck for the future to both of you.Best wishes for the future.

Your work is outstanding. I did a unit in media production and it took 2 of us an hour to edit 1 minute of video. Using old U-track tapes back then. Your schedule would be punishing for even professional crews. In addition you are refitting two boats. I stand in awe of your determination and creativity.

[@paulsj9245]

This is professional filmmaking! I learned about establishing shots while visiting MGM, Hollywood, 45 years ago, and I know that B-roll beats A-roll by miles. And a computer-written script!
