This drone is so fun! Hope this video helps you get the footage you want 💪! Get out there and get flying ✌️

[@ablemediaproductions]

Good tips, especially overshooting. coming from an editing background I recommend overshooting a few seconds on every shot you do whether it’s a drone shot, gimbal shot or even an interview. It’s always good to have a bit of video you can use to fade out on. One other tip to get smooth footage on the Mini 4 Pro, which I think is very underrated, is a function called ‘cruise control’. You can fly the drone manually until you reach a speed you like then engage cruise control and the drone will maintain that speed no matter what you do (other than trying to fly in reverse) so you can start to turn the drone or fly higher and gimbal down etc and the speed remains constant. This is so handy I mapped this function to my custom button 2 on the back of the remote which by default is a shortcut to switch to vertical video. I don’t shoot vertical video very often however there is a shortcut button on the display to switch to this mode also so there’s no real reason to have to shortcuts for this function and I find it more useful to have quick access to to cruise control.

[@devinjtatro]

Thanks for the comment and extra tip! 👊

[@clearairflying]

One tip - avoid mixing HLG and D-LogM on the same mission. It's noooo fun trying to colour match those two profiles in post. Stick to HLG for day and D-LogM for night work (there's less noise in the latter)

[@devinjtatro]

Good tip! Thanks ✌️

[@alananthony83]

Very helpful and concise information.

Good job, lots of good tips well presented and easy to learn. ( sub is on)

[@amakatanav]

Thank you Devin

[@devinjtatro]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Hopefully you find it helpful ✌️

[@andybg1972]

very informative video thanks

[@devinjtatro]

Glad you found it helpful! 👊

[@mostafa_torkey]

I think having an nd filter on a drone is like only helpful in some Specific scenarios, like shooting a waterfall or a speedy things that have motion blur on it , otherwise its ok to elevate your shutterspeed as you wish to balance for exposure

[@Hauprovisionart]

Very good tips 👍

[@devinjtatro]

Glad you found it helpful !

[@quakebot1]

Good info. I now understand why ND filters are useful.

[@devinjtatro]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and glad you found something helpful 👊

[@106Bassman]

Great content! Do you have a link for the ND/polarizer filter?

[@edSmith1018]

I need to go to school for this I have no clue lol thank you u helped me I’m very new to this

[@devinjtatro]

Glad to help! Check out my other video on getting started with the mini 4 pro 👍

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

great vid!! You live in colorado or something, those landscapes were fire!!!

[@devinjtatro]

Thank you! Was just visiting! Maybe one way 🧐

[@DroneBizuk]

Hi Devin good video with plenty of tips. What settings do you use for Gain & Exposure there are so many ut there that I have tried but cant find the best one for me.

[@devinjtatro]

Thanks! I try to always keep my iso gain low (100-400) and my exposure with my shutter speed double my frame rate so if I’m shooting 60fps my shutter is 1/120. Hope that helps 👍

[@qualudia1]

Where did you shoot the mountain/Aspen tree footage? Nice😊

[@devinjtatro]

Thanks that was out in Colorado 👍

[@tinnatin5147]

Hey question for you. If you want to mix the videos from your DJI mini 4 and some from iPhone, how do you set the video format on both the drone and iPhone so the video screen size (not sure if that wording makes sense) is the same size?

[@TheTMax]

Hey, are you in the Tampa area? I was in St Pete for awhile and I wish I met you while I was there to get some tips on locations to fly in that area. I ended up flying mostly on the Clearwater coast up to New Port Richey. Anyway, good tips in this video!

[@devinjtatro]

I was down in the Tampa area for a bit when i got this footage! It was great 👍

[@tjkmj]

What software you use for editing?

[@ericcote8146]

Hi Devin, I’m curious to know how do you access at 5min 50 in the video that option : I see under White Balance and just under “Style”

[@devinjtatro]

Make sure you are in video shooting mode as it shows different options depending on what shooting mode you are in - see if that helps!

[@RemyRAD]

I like you Devin. You're good. You absolutely know what you're talking about. And! Even more impressive. You've, dialed in some nice processing on your microphone narrative track. I personally like still yet better more of that.. But that's just me. At least you have some.. And it's good. Though it could be a tad better.. I can give you some technical suggestions. To pump it up a little better. I like it when it jumps out at the listener. And every word is, enhanced. So they will never misinterpret a consonant. And some sparkle on the high-end. To make it sound airy and breathy. And without any, sibilance. With a truly hyped high-end the doesn't sound objectionable, shrill, shrieking, no. No I use a lot of, High Frequency De-essing, High Frequency Limiting. So you can hyped the high-end without it sounding hyped beyond comprehension. So it just sounds nice and smooth. With a silky high-end. That is so much fun to do. It's actually ultra-enhanced. Even funnier to think about.. We did the same thing at NBC-TV News for, Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams, Lester Holt. They'll have a gob of microphone processing on them. To make them sound, Perfectly Natural. When there is absolutely nothing natural about it. It's highly processed. Because I'm what, Good Audio Engineers, do.. That did it for a living. At the Television Network Level. Which was wild! That's is high up on the ladder as one can get, technically speaking. And I could still be there today if I wanted to be. But I resigned 23 years ago now. After 20 years there. Which was a good run. And I was very lucky I had a great gig. And then my own studio after that for the past 20+ years. And at 68 now. I feel cut off. I wasn't done having fun. But your body starts to complain. And then all of your friends are dead.. And I didn't think that possible. Not so young.. Not us group of folks. We did everything right. They all just dropped, suddenly. But you tell it like it is Devin. You are very good. You are an accomplished Pro. In my book. Of being in the industry for over 50 years. At the very highest levels. NBC was not the only one. Because when you're good. People find out you're good. And then they want you. You start getting offers out of the blue. People start referring and recommending you. Companies start asking for you. What? I have no college degree. Why are you calling me? You need what? Okey-dokey then. I'll be right over. And then I fix what electrical engineers and acoustic engineers, can't. Because they are limited by their textbooks and mathematical equations. They were not taught how to think in college. They were taught how to get the answers right. And they did. But they were not taught how to think like an, actual, real Engineer. And when you are troubleshooting something. Down to the component level on circuit boards. You're going to find. It's in that one part of the circuit. That it can't possibly be in. And that is where you will find the problem. The most illogical place ever. And Mr. Spock, would not be able to troubleshoot. What I have, had to troubleshoot. Because it's all illogical. And nobody wants to look that kind of stupid.. So they will not look in the stupid places. Where it cannot be.. And somebody like me. Needs to know where that is. And then always very gratifying. When the top people in the business. Know that they called. The right genius. That solved their problem. Simply and quickly and extremely efficiently. And it cost them virtually nothing. That's why they love me. I don't get them to purchase more crap. I make what they have work. The way it's supposed to. And sound great! And they don't know what I've done? But there is one simple little flaw. 99% of everyone has made. And okay. I'll tell you. What that is. This is largely applicable. To those of you that have a regular old, stereo FM hi-fi at home. With a pair of separate speakers. And as cheap as your system might be? Or as expensive as your system might be? If you have one of those lovely, $50,000, home theater systems. What nobody knows is? All of your speakers are wired together in phase.. But are all in, 180 Degrees of, Inverted, Negative, Absolute Polarity. But both in phase together. Now think about that one for a moment. And so the fix here is. You reverse both wires. On both your left and right channel speakers. At the speakers. Not anywhere else.. It must be done. At the output. Of the audio power amplifier. Directly to the input, of the speakers. That are going to move the air in your room. They are currently sucking. When you think they should be protruding outward toward you. They really aren't. It was a mathematical error. Made by all of the electrical engineers and acoustic engineers. That designed the speakers you are using. And the only exception is JBL. They figured this out years ago. At least by 1968. And possibly by their inception in 1948? Though I do not have hard data on that, yet. Because that requires some historic investigation. Into the design of their speakers early on. Starting in 1948. I pretty much only know their history from 1968 onward. When I first heard the JBL, 4310, 3 way, bookshelf sized, Compact Control Room Monitor Speakers. At their introduction in 1968. And I knew. I was hearing something different from those.. I hadn't heard from other high-end speakers the same way. And I did not know at that time. What this difference was? It's the Polarity. Not the phase. As those two things are not the same. When referring to these audio scenarios and themes. They are not the same. Though, emanate from a similar concept to each other. One known as phase. The other known as polarity. And so what has happened here is? Due to a mathematical error. Your speakers are mimicking. The motion of the diaphragms. On the microphones. And they are being compressed inward. You don't want your speakers doing that. That's what they are doing. When you think they are going in the opposite direction. And the only way to do that is to reverse the Polarity. At the powered output. That is going to move the air.. With the speakers. And you want them initially traveling out toward you. So if you have or use, JBL Speakers? Disregard everything I have said. This is only for people who are not using, JBL speakers. Repeat, Not Using, JBL Speakers. You folks are all in Negative Absolute Polarity. With both speakers. So you simply turn the connections around. On both speakers. And now they will be initially traveling in the opposite direction. Out toward you. And now take another listen. And put on your favorite recording of all time. And see if it doesn't sound like you always thought it should? Because now it will. All the other speaker companies out there. Have all made this fundamental mistake. And they have a cute little test. To prove they are right. Which is a flawed test. I mean it is a correct test. But the concept is inverted.. It's very funny. But you have to hear it for yourself to know. And it costs nothing to do. It'll take you all of 2 minutes to do it. And 2 minutes. To undo it. If you don't like it. But I really think you'll like it. Listen to it for a few minutes. Then change it back.. But make sure you have an airsickness bag handy. Would you realize. The way you been listening to it all these years. At you'll change it back. I think it's very funny. I figured this out back in 1978. When I was only 22 years old. But? I had just designed and built from scratch. From the floor up. Including the massive, 24 x 8 x 4 x 2, Audio Console. I also built from scratch. To create, Baltimore's 2nd Largest Music Recording and Commercial Production Facility. In 1978. Big enough to accommodate a Symphony Orchestra with the choir in the studio. It was big.. And a 2nd floor, Large, Vocal Booth. With 2 Windows. One looking down into the control room. And one looking down into the studio. Sometimes we would put vocalists in there. On occasion we would put a drummer in there. But we could use the ground floor below it as a drum alcove. But would frequently stick the grand piano there. If we didn't have it elsewhere on the floor. On one side or the other. And 2/3 of the floor was carpeted. While 1/3 was live and hard. And then we also had the Film Studio in the adjoining, Warehouse. Also with a half-dozen microphone inputs. So it was a nice complex. And Industrial Film Company. Owned by my business partners father.. And we were high school buddies. We always talked about building a big studio. Like I had been working for. That his dad's industrial film company had to use from time to time. Because I was an engineer at the Biggest Pl. in Baltimore. Five years earlier. As that was my first studio job. And I was going to do this for a living. And if I wasn't in the recording studio. I was on the air at the radio station. Rocking the overnights. And making those Personal Appearances. At the big rock concerts. As a DJ and Representative from the Station. That gave away free tickets. For shows like KISS, Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band and others. From my hometown of Detroit. Cool Bob! As my daddy played violin tracks for Motown. And Stax records. And I just grew up in the studios, radio & TV stations. I don't know how to do, NUTHIN' else? I'm a dummy..

Thanks for the feedback and ideas!

[@RemyRAD]

Here's a little trick that I use. I like a lot of color. I like heavy saturation. But when you saturate up. You'll start to get a lot of video noise in the color saturation. And that looks like crap. So? I started using, Sony's,, Vegas Software. When it was originally, in version 1.0, strictly a multitrack, Audio Program. Where later they incorporated Video. And with that. They offered up some awesome,, processing. Where one can separate. The luminance or the B & W portion of the picture. And separate that from the color or the Chrominance, portion of the picture. Where I will then. Blow the focus out. On the color in the Chrominance, channel. And this will get rid of all that color video noise. As I used a technique. That was originally used. For both consumer VHS and Betamax, home video recorders known as Color Under. Where the color portion. Has virtually no resolution to it. And with that you get all the noise, virtually removed. While I can then even add a sharpening filter. To the B & W Luminance, channel. That can add an apparent increase, to the perceived resolution of the picture. While blowing out the focus on the color completely.. And using that technique. Makes women's complexions look even better.. Which they appreciate. It gives them a smoother more even tonal appearance.. And it makes their faces look more beautiful and feminine. It's a great technique to use, with women.. And then sometimes I will add a Focus Filter on women. And when you don't have one. You use any filter, skylight, haze. And you put a small dab of Vaseline. You smear in the middle. And Voilà! Soft focus filter. Or you can add soft vignetting. By smearing it around the periphery of the edge of the filter. Around its circumference. Like a doughnut. With the clear hole in the middle. These are all photographic techniques I've used with video. As I was a Semi-Pro, Portrait Photographer. For Entertainer, Head & Shoulder,, Publicity Photos. In front of a seamless Cyclorama. With multiple, slaved and bounced, Strobe Lights. And you do virtually the same with video lighting. Then with the software in postproduction. I will go ahead and do multilayer, digital compositing. With my color, lighting, exposure,, control in the software. I will completely change the picture. I will change all the lighting digitally. I will change the depth of field, digitally. I will enhance or soften the resolution. I will cut out,, people parts. For exposure and color corrections. Cut out their head. Cut out their torso. Cut out the background. Cut out their shirts. And do separate corrections on each one of those items. Digitally compositing them all back together again. For one beautifully corrected picture. Along with some key framing. To make the effects move with the subjects. And to split a lockdown,, 2 shot of a couple. Into looking like it was shot with 3 separate cameras. Producing most everything from, Standard Resolution, DV footage. But they handed me a hard drive. Telling me it was the uncompressed video files. No it's not! They handed me the highly compressed 100:1, QuickTime, Proxy Files. For me to pull a 1 hour, 30 minute, widescreen, completely reformatted from 525 line 4 x 3. To, 16 x 9, SD 525 line resolution. From footage with resolution between 350 and 90 lines resolution. From all this reframing and reformatting, zooming into a 525 picture. To provide for a 16 x 9 picture.. With no pillars. That are out of focus. To extend the width of the picture. No! No I want the picture filling up the entire screen. So I have to zoom in to reframe and reformat.. And doing this all too highly compressed 100:1, QuickTime proxy files. That's sort of like releasing a record album from MP3 files. Yuck! But I have had to do that also. And I have a way of getting back that highest top octave. Beyond, 15,000 Hz that is lost and nonexistent. I developed a technique to get that back. It's where I take everything between 5 kHz and 10 kHz. And I double the pitch. And that moves everything up an octave between 10 kHz and 20 kHz. And I'm recovering that upper octave. And it works. You can hear the difference. If I remove it. And then everybody goes, what the hell just happened? Oh I turned off that regenerated upper octave. Will turn it back on! Okey-dokey! I'm a specialist in, Audio Recovery. You know like cockpit voice recorder stuff. And garbled messages. Then I have to use my full roster of common Audio Engineering Techniques. To recover what is lost and enhance intelligibility. Using both analog equipment and software. Because some analog techniques can still do what software can't. Because software can't think anything through. I can. Software cannot listen to nor evaluate, the audio. I can. Of course software is getting even better. With every passing day. But there's still things it can't do better than I can. And so a multitude of techniques are used in our Productions. Techniques we have acquired and accrued, over the years. And sometimes you have to put them all into service and action. And software can be expertly manipulated. To produce Network Quality TV Productions. On a laptop! And not a $500,000 video control room anymore. Now it's your laptop and a piece of software you got for free. A Limited Edition/Special Addition, limited version. With more features than you'll ever need. Since you are not producing, Hollywood Productions. But theoretically now could. And render out to 4K and Pana vision 1.23:1, Aspect Ratio. With a black pillar at the top and a black pillar at the bottom. For a Theatrical Release. 16:9, for general TV release. With no pillars around the screen. (More Dazzling Tips in the following post)

Trying to find what ND filter you use!! Please help

[@tamilkoreanvlogs]

DJI ND filters are great. I am using them :)

[@enmanifest]

thanks, man good video. I can't download your lut's

[@devinjtatro]

Let me check on that.. sorry about that!

[@flynup]

Please give me the ready settings for the clear sky of the beach and sea. I'm going to Zanzibar in 6 days (I have DJI Mini 4 Pro since yesterday) ps. what exact filter should I buy for such a scenery?

[@devinjtatro]

Follow this video and you should be good to go! But to recap: 4k 30 fps // 60shutter // iso 100 // picture profile Normal 👍

[@RemyRAD]

Though I also figured out. How to watch TV and get paid for it. My mother used to scream at me as a little kid over that. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO FOR A LIVING WHEN YOU GROW UP!??! Watch television!!??!!?? I don't know what mom was screaming about? I saw other adults doing it. Why shouldn't I? I didn't even need to finish high school! I'm a dropout. With a GED. But that's all. And some free technical training seminars here and there. That lasted a couple of days. And taught me how to fix, studio analog tape recorders. Big ones. Really big ones. Ones that cost $36,000 back in, 1978. Audio Consoles cost even more. Between $45,000 and $85,000 on average for the good ones. The ones that would cut all the hit records. And so mine had to be like that also. And I had to design it. And build it. And it took me about 3 months. And then I plugged it in. And it worked perfectly for the next 10 years. Not bad for a first try. It had to be reliable. I had to build it like a tank. 1/3 of it got destroyed. I recently sold the last 2/3 of it. Still working. For, $4000. And worth every penny.. Because it sounds like God.. I made it sound like God. I did it just right. I knew and heard others that used identical components to mine. Theirs did not sound like mine. Did not work like mine. Theirs would overload easily. Mine. You could peg the meters. You wouldn't hear any distortion. You wouldn't hear any noise. And everybody wondered how I did it? Funny enough so did I. I didn't know what the hell I was doing? But I knew I couldn't fail. And I had a very small $10,000 budget. And it had to work and sound like those high-priced versions. And so it did. Identically so. It was pretty funny I thought. How come others couldn't get this right this easily? I wondered? I'm still wondering. So, Audio is really like, Voodoo. Like, Black Magic. And I do not overthink it. I just do it. I don't need to overthink it.. I know everything deeply. I have no questions. I only have answers. A multitude of answers. A plethora of techniques. Because I use different techniques for different genres and different applications and jobs. Some are talking had, spoken word. Solo presentations or in small groups. Sometimes it's a small 3 piece rock band. Sometimes it sent ADP Symphony Orchestra with a 200 voice choir with 4 solo singers. Sometimes it's a Billboard Chart Topping Band. Playing at an NFL stadium with 65,000 screaming fans. And I have to make that sound like a hit record. In, approximately, 60, seconds. To dial in a mix. And then tell the Producer. I'm good. They can switch to me. And we now switch to, Freddie out at, RFK Stadium. With Les Claypool and Primus! And others,, since then. And some come out sounding like this: soundcloud.com/remyrad/track08 soundcloud.com/user-135130368/sets/live-at-electric-church-fm-sessions-vol-1 and the next 13 cards after this. Of the nearly 500 bands I recorded. In 2017/18 in 11 months time. At a nightclub in East Austin.. Prior to the pandemic. And I had something good going there. The radio stations were interested. You can hear why. These are mine live, haphazard, spontaneous, fly by the seat of my pants, live FM stereo mixes. That was also archived to, 24 Track Digital. For later possible remixing which was never done. There wasn't any reason to. You can hear why. I did this for NBC Network for, 20 years. As one of their Top Audio Engineers. And I just roll with it. I have fun with it. I don't overthink it. I just do it. You don't want overthink everything. Because if you do? You'll come out with a disappointing lump of crap. It'll be all wrong. You won't be happy with it.. You over thought everything. You wanted a perfection you could not achieve. And you use whatever you can as an excuse. The equipment. The acoustics. The microphones. The noise. The wind. The electrical. And that is the mark of a rank amateur. Because you can't deliver the goods. Here's an entire set. The first song you can hear me establishing the mix. The bass drum is a bit thick. It thins out. And I refine from, there. And I really liked this band and this set. He has a great rapport with the audience. He really communicates with them. I like his style. And I liked the tunes and the band very much. And I'm really just goofing off. Having a fun time in my control room. In my truck. In the backyard of the nightclub. With the door open. Entertaining people while I do this. And having people sit behind the console with me. And take a listen. And here put your finger on that fader. And push it up a little bit. Because that's the keyboard and he's playing a solo. Yeah that's good. Not too much. Pulled back a little bit more. That's good. And that's what you're listening to, here. I'm not getting paid to do this. This was simply a test and a proof of concept. I was working on. And I had my great, Assistant Engineer. I don't call an, Assistant Engineer. Because Tyler Speicher is also a fine engineer in his own right. And I refer to him as my Associate Engineer. Because he is. And I don't have some crazy killer ego I need to constantly feed. Because I'm a great engineer. You can hear it. And if I couldn't make it. I would just tell Tyler to do it.. And I'll show up. Tyler is great. He's the best. I hope he soon hits his stride and goes far. As he is also currently liquidating my studio for me. As I've just retired at 68. It's time to stop acting like I'm still 30. When I built my studio. 10 years before leaving NBC. With a 10 year overlap. But I couldn't get the time off to do Woodstock-2. Which I was asked, to do. Dammit! I pleaded with them. But it was a union gig. And I couldn't get the time off. I was already covering for others. That were seniors over me on vacation. Jesus Christ! And I missed getting a gold record. And all of the other work that would have brought my way. Shit! So I don't get to be a famous engineer. I'm anonymous. I'm behind-the-scenes. I do it mostly Live. Those studio projects are fun. I also find them boring. I am into Live Performances. Not studio manufactured music. Still fun. But I don't really do that. I don't play video games with audio software. I don't play video games. I never have. I am not a game player. Oh sure maybe a game or two of, 21 blackjack.. At a casino occasionally. Once every 10 years or so whether I need to or not. I'll dump a whopping 20-$100. And then stop. Generally I'll make it up to a few hundred dollars. And then stop. And go hey. I'm ahead $300! It was a good evening. And it only took me 20 minutes. Then go find a buffet. I'm not much of a gambler.. Except with my career. And I lost. I didn't get the Grammys, soul train, Emmys, I was nominated for. I didn't get that one elusive gold record. I get no royalties. I lost! God dammit! What the hell? This wasn't supposed to happen? Well? I guess? Better luck in my next lifetime? RemyRAD HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!

[@devinjtatro]

Thanks!

[@RemyRAD]

I really hate this vertical, portrait, nonsense. I'd rather shoot widescreen. And crop it for vertical. And because you don't need 4K of vertical resolution. That's stupid. So if you shoot 4K and crop for vertical. It's still 1080. In the vertical resolution. Because you don't need 1920 vertical resolution. And that's what it is. And that's fine if you're going to zoom in and re-crop. And who's doing that? I don't see anybody? And so all of my other production video cameras are, 525 line, 4 x 3, Canon, XL-1's. That are 525 4 x 3. Until you select the, Anamorphic, vertical, digital squeeze. Which then yields a 16 x 9 picture. With approximately, 900 lines of, resolution. And you really can't tell the difference from 1080. And that breathes new life into those ancient, four, Canon XL-1's I still have. And a couple of smaller consumer DV camcorders. And about 7, invitation generic, GoPro's. That all shoot 4K-24-P, ultra-wide-angle. And I've gotten amazing, live rock 'n' roll band, onstage, music videos. Plus. I constructed my own homebrew, Jimmy Jib/Camera Crane. Capable of, 14 foot high altitude shots. That can swing and boomed down to, floor level looking up. In a beautiful fluid like shot in just a couple seconds. And it'll take your breath away. And everybody tells me. Oh my God Remy that looks like Hollywood! Oh yes it does. And I have 2 of those. The big one and a short one, both. And so I'm always getting these flying shots. And elevation shots. From the floor. As it swings around, tilting down as it goes. Until it's over their head looking down. And from the right side of them to the left side of them. In one gorgeous sweeping flying move. Nobody's doing what I've been doing for the past few years. Like for the past 15 years. Or is it 20 now? Time flies when you're getting old. And so I love photography. I love video. I love flying. As I was a student pilot. So real actual flying in actual, fixed wing civilian aircraft. Like the Piper Cherokee's I flew. In my young teenage years. And almost went into the Air Force for that. But to be a jet fighter pilot. You first have to have a college degree. And preferably a Masters. In one of the Sciences. Preferably, Electrical Engineering. Which is what I wanted to go for. But never did. Now I just started designing and building things anyhow. And classic academic training was not my thing. Not with extreme ADD. Life was a bit topsy-turvy and helter-skelter. Working with a disability. And I just had to find my own way. Thankfully in my young teenage years. I also had a couple of great mentors. One in particular was just incredible. Beyond incredible. You couldn't have special ordered anybody like this. I was extremely lucky. My mentor was a Genius, Electrical Engineer. That should have been in the history books. But he's not. Not by name. Thomas M. Bray MAEE. The Father of Vertical Hold for Television as we know it in 1948. When he was working for Bell Laboratories. After World War II. And working on Microwave, stuff as he told me. And he was a superb Audio Engineer. Which is what I really wanted to do. I wanted to design the Stuff. Build the Stuff. Use the Stuff. Install the Stuff. Maintain and Fix the Stuff. And I did. Spanning 50+ years. It was 50, too few. I want 50 more! I wasn't done having fun! Mommy! I'm 68 and mommy is turning 100 any day. And I now get to care for her. Like she cared for me when I was a little kid. She was the world's greatest and best mom that ever was. And she's still with me. Only I don't quite know who this person is anymore? Not this 100-year-old person. This is somebody different. This is the real her. And she can be quite rigid and obstinate. She still sees me as a 6-year-old. Just add 62 extra years to that. But she can't. Not at 100. And it's rather fascinating. To see how much of my childhood she remembers? And it's now not much. It's scary.. It's creepy. Really mom you don't remember that? Wow? Her lights are on but I don't know who's home? To see and hear the deterioration of her memory is very saddening.. It's like she's already gone. It's not mom anymore. It's this old lady. This very old lady. And the things she says now. Nearly takes me to the floor. She just blows my mind. She doesn't realize what she is saying or the words she is using. Do you know what you just said to me mom? Shall say I didn't say that. And I will tell her. You just said that to me. Then shall say. That's not what I meant to say. And I'll ask her what she meant to say? As you look confused and say I don't know? Nevermind. Oh dear? Watching this mighty woman I've always known. Wither away and disappear in front of my eyes. To leave behind this, infirm little old, lady. At 100. It almost seems cruel. To rob her of those memories. But she seems happy. She could still read her books. Even though she can hardly see and hardly hear. With her battery-operated lit magnifying glass. She can read her books. And live out her days peacefully. With me there to care for her. I never gave her any grandchildren. And we are the end of our family. I am the end after her. And there will be nobody there for me. I will have a lonely death. And I guess that's fitting? Everyone I have ever known and loved are already gone. For my best friends and colleagues. To my younger brother and my husband of 22 years.. Soon it will be that stalwart matriarch of our family. I am not looking forward to that day. When the rest of my world collapses. I'm having trouble grappling with all of this. I've lost too many people in short, succession. It's just blowing my mind. I knew life was short. Oh my God it's short. Shorter than I ever imagined. And what was it all about? I have no answers. What my country in the USA is going through now. Is the worst history my country has gone through since its inception. Even beyond that of slavery. The vitriol I hear and experience these days. From hate filled Americans. That want to hate other Americans. Who are vulnerable. And I just do not understand this? But all we need to do is look back approximately 100 years in history. With a bunch of other frustrated people called Germans, Italians, Japanese. And decided to wreak havoc. Throughout the entire world for a few years. Until the planet was flattened in places. And taking the next 20 years to build back. As technology exploded. Where we are going now as a people, as a culture, as a nation? It's just all now a big question.. Will we still exist after November 2024? What are these extremist crazies going to do when they lose again? Are we going to be ready for them? Are we going to be prepared? And what does that mean? Will neighbors be killing neighbors? For a construct? Of hate filled thuggish Americans? Ready to get it on with World War III? Because they want to shoot their guns? Because they have that 2nd Amendment Right? And Jesus told them to. Yeah I don't think so. I don't think any of this looks good. And we are going to be caught with our pants down. When our adversaries, Pounce. And they're going to invade our NATO allies.. While sticking their tongues out at us in the US. Which is spelled the same but means 2 different things. Donnie only recently, discovered at 76 years of age. And an Ivy League College Degree,, Certificate, Thingy. Because I can't tell what the hell he learned? And should we sue that school? Because I don't think he got a degree. Oh sure they gave him one. After daddy donated plenty of millions.. Just like Lori Laughlin did for her, worthless little bimbo chickie hatchling. But she dropped out so? At least she realized she was not college material. She was college refuse. So was Donnie. So is Ronnie DeSepsis. With his bogus law degree from both Harvard and Yale. And learned absolutely nothing! Except for Black History. As he was there in the Civil War. In his previous, Slave Owner, life, self. But isn't he Cuban or is that Puerto Rican? And he thinks he's white? Has he looked at his last name lately? On his, Die Paloma's? All these Republicunt Quasi-Politicians, all want to act like these, holier than thou, godlike, authoritarian, mafioso thug language. Because they want to act, Tough. And sound just like Donnie. And so they are reducing our country into a really bad, Made for TV Movie. Nobody would want to watch. It would be a cross between Voyage to the Bottom of the Titanic. Crossed with the Monty Python's. And I just don't see there would be a lot of attraction in that? And like one of Donald Trump's casinos. It would quickly go bankrupt and close. Even when the Favor is always with the House. And it can't lose. How did it, lose? What did he do? And more than one. So it was, deliberate. And then he wanted to sell secret papers as souvenirs? Yes! I would like to see his plane crash on New Year's. We could all breathe a sigh of relief, then. RemyRAD
