Video of our recent trip to Playa del Carmen. The city was decorated for the holiday Dia De Los Muertos

Mom I love it, great editing nd it has a really urbn feel with the music too. Kind of a different edit but I really like the style. The camera work is nice and clear is that your Sony RX?

My only concern 2:38 to to see dad. and in the shot he is paying out money.... Dad I love ya don't let the studios push you to second tier.... :hyst:

I have been wondering when Mexico Slices would make a return. :gl:

Great job

Thanks Sidd! I traveled light with the Sony RX100iv. The little camera does a great job and I blend in to the crowd. It does a decent job in low light too. Dad is in there earlier and I cut out a clip of him (don't tell him). We didn't realize children would be dressed up trick or treating. After dinner we went to a gift shop for candy to give to the children. Good thing I only give Dad ones to carry :)))

Sunday nights are when local families to go the park at the beach for entertainment. There was a clown and a few other performers. Maybe a movie later on the big screen? It was especially crowded due to the holiday. The next night was expected to have the largest crowds.

It was everything everywhere at the same time and was overwhelmed with what to shoot. Little scenes playing out every few feet. I would have loved to just sit every block to take it all in.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed your Mexico vids until I watched this. So fun - I want more! Those dead people sure are colorful and festive looking. When even they are having fun and partying you know it's a great place! So you were standing there watching; how did the guy at 2:55 do it? :conf:

Thanks Dave! The guy with the drinks on his head has been doing it for years. I asked him once how he did it and he replied he had a flat head. :lol:

Thanks TreeTops! I think I remember that you are in the Pacific NW? I'd love to go to the Oregon coast sometime.

Actually the guy at 2:55 was the one levitating.

Dave, oh the levitating guy. I don't know. Must be some type of harness with a steel bar? I can't imagine it is comfortable to stay like that for hours.

Pretty sure it has a built in seat hidden by his clothes. Lots of YouTube videos that show how they do that.

No doubt. There are YouTube vids for almost anything these days.

I know that feeling you don't want to miss a minute. But you did a really good job of getting some great highlights. And, that lowlight worked really well.

Sweet. 4k video look out.

Huge call out John. I am hearing rumblings that Mom might be losing her Dr Scholl's sponsorship.

One of the only positive views of the no feet video is the estate of the late Stephen Hawking.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. Stephen Hawking
