Well, yes, I find it hard (if not impossible) to make a film about a place I have not been to. If you think I'm too much in the frame, I do agree, and have stopped that about 2 videos later on, during the same trip, and barely appear since .
In response to Michael Silver, whose comment appears in my notifications, but strangely not here, so I cannot respond in a more usual way: this video was meant as a joke and not to be taken seriously (I did really misplace a lot of footage which I have not found to this day, 18 months later), but you are right, I was disappointed with Bathurst and the beaches in that vicinity a little too much. This was because my baseline was too high (having just come back from a month in Iceland, Cornwall and Spain), and so, effectively, I was blaming Canada for being what it is, when I should have tried harder to find the bright sides (after all, I wanted to go to New Brunswick, including Bathurst, nobody forced me, or kept me there against my will). I hope I did manage to get across that I truly enjoyed Grande Anse, and that Acadian history is fascinating. Also, strangely enough, when I next made a video about Saint John, where I loved every minute of the time we spent there and made it very clear, I got a whole pile of comments telling me how terrible it is, and that I should get real as it is full of junkies and nothing there, and such other; and when I made one about Fort La Tour and that very interesting (to me, at least) part of the story of Acadia, few people bother to even look at it. So here we are: you pays your money, you makes your choices, and there's no pleasing everyone no matter what you do or say, so the only thing to do is to tell the story as you feel/felt it. It is good, though from time to time, to hear from someone who watched and cared enough to offer their substantiated views, so thank you very much for commenting.
No matter where you go. . . there you are!
