    I love the way you summarized the trip with video superimposed on the map route. Brilliant. Would love to know what magic you used to get the trip line to move like that... Anyway, job well done! 😆

    • @NorthernScavenger
      @NorthernScavenger  Před 5 lety +2

      Thanks Paul! I used Adobe After Effects to animate the line on the map. There are lots of videos on youtube on how to do this. It was way easier than the previous times I had tried to do it in Adobe Animate and do it frame by frame...We hope to include maps in our future videos also

    Thanks for a wonderful recap of the trip. Nicely mapped out. Should be helpful for folks who might think about doing it themselves. Certainly brought back lots of wonderful memories of our trip around the Link in 2011-12.

    I really enjoyed and appreciate the map work! How did you do that? I wish at one end of the video you could have showed the entire trip on a single map. Keep up the great work! Really how did you do such a high quality map?

    • @NorthernScavenger
      @NorthernScavenger  Před 5 lety

      Thanks for watching. I also wished I had done the full map after I published it, have had a few people mention that now. The high quality map is from www.algonquinmap.com (Jeff's Maps). You can download the full wall map file which is what I used. The video was created using a combination of Adobe After Effects (map animation) and Premiere Pro for the final video.

    • @NorthernScavenger
      @NorthernScavenger  Před 5 lety

      We had a lot of dehydrated meals, a mix of some homemade batches as well as a few store bought. We also had 2 food drops along the way which helped with weight in the barrel.

      Swifty is the founder of Algonquin Outfitters. This route was made in his memory and it connects the four Algonquin Outfitters locations (Huntsville, Brent, Opeongo, and Oxtongue)

      Oh yes. It's Bill swift Sr. I did my research about the meanest link and found out about it. This is awesome, I have paddled a long time but this gets my blood pumping! I'm hoping to get my brother in and make the loop early may 19.
