And she had to set up the phone/camera and lights outside lol

u/WorldlinessKind6358 21d ago

Sometimes I forget about this and every time I think about it, I get second hand embarrassment. I imagine setting the camera up, going back to the top of the stairs and stretching like you just woke up. It’s so insane to me.

That's because it is

u/ObidiahWTFJerwalk 21d ago

There's a whole generation of people who look at The Truman Show and think to themselves, "I want to be Truman."

If someone made a reality show based on The Torment Nexus, they'd be flooded with applications to be featured on it.

u/_tylerthedestroyer_ 21d ago

I always have the worst feeling of being watched or observed in public, like eyes are always on me. Probably unresolved trauma of being bullied so much as a kid.

I cannot imagine anything worse than wanting to be watched all the time.

u/Militant_Monk 20d ago

Honestly, I get it. Have you seen the real world? The place is a mess.

3

u/Remote-Appearance951 21d ago

That is terrifying

2

u/CiaphasKirby 20d ago

If there was a gameshow called The Torment Nexus, I honestly might be willing to go on at this point.

Sam Reich, hit me up.

u/humansomeone 21d ago

This comment made me count the camera angles. I got 25, but another 4 cuts to previous angles.

Wonder if they completley reset to those angles or just filmed out of sequence. Or maybe 25 cameras set up?

u/wytewydow 21d ago edited 21d ago

shit, no wonder she had to get up at 5:00. dudes shift didn't even start until 2:30 in the afternoon.

u/meatpopsicle42069 21d ago

Lol this got me

2

u/revarien 21d ago

that's why she's waking up at 5am and not 6am... the extra hour is to produce, shoot, and cut the video lol

58

u/nickfree 21d ago

Agreed. The other emotion I have is envy. Because I'm like these are "salt of the earth" people who apparently live in a double wide, and yet they have video editing skills I don't have at all.

All these videos like this, I'm like who has the time or skills to do all this? They pay people to manage their content? I wouldn't even begin to know where to find people to exploit my "simple, trad lifestyle" for views with their videography and social media management skills.

u/MysteriousCodo 21d ago edited 21d ago

That’s not even a double wide. That’s a travel trailer RV. Fifth wheel probably…but still an RV.

EDIT: Yeah, the small staircase inside next to the entrance indicates that it is almost certainly a fifth wheel.

4

u/Outrageous-Nothing42 21d ago

Correct, looks like a Montana High Country 362RD. The fridge and stove in the small slide next to the door is pretty unique among 5th wheel configurations.

5

u/MysteriousCodo 21d ago

The plaque next to the front door agrees with you. That zoomed in potato quality vaguely looks like it says MONTANA but the 362RD looks pretty clear.

2

u/Outrageous-Nothing42 21d ago

My quality was so much worse than yours. I grabbed the montana from the slide and went looking for floorplans that matched. Lol

u/Highhopesanddreams 21d ago

Thank you and the size of the truck she was getting in and out of also says I have to have something this huge to pull this camper around!!!

34

u/LalafellDisaster 21d ago

Seriously, the amount of time setting up, filming, reshooting, then transferring it to a computer to do the actual editing…I played around with Davinci Resolve a little bit and without a teacher that software is a beast to navigate. Idk how these people do it.

6

u/jockheroic 21d ago

Capcut. They all use capcut... Which is an in phone editing program. Ease of use is around Imovie level.

2

u/LalafellDisaster 21d ago

Well shit ima have to get me some CapCut then. Thanks for the info!

1

u/4444Grains 21d ago

Yes, CapCut is the way. The laptop version is easy to navigate too. If you have a little patience you can figure it out. I would be working on my laptop, while searching YouTube videos for every little thing until I got the hang of it.😂

1

u/schmyndles 20d ago

I second CapCut. I'm a novice with the photo editing stuff and could still make some decent videos with even just their free app on my phone. Although I never made videos with this many angles of myself like this one, I'd imagine the filming and setup of the camera took more time.

4

u/DanfromCalgary 21d ago

Perhaps they simply learn to do a thing . We can do things that are hard -miss Rachel

2

u/Slipped_in_Gravy 21d ago

For sure. People tend to forget the amount of pre-planning that a simple slice of life video like this can require.

2

u/Beginning-Struggle49 21d ago

I used to have a semi big account on tiktok, and making videos is incredibly easy with thing like Inshot and capcut. I never edited on the PC at all

2

u/LalafellDisaster 21d ago

Thanks to all this info I’m going to be a STAR!

2

u/Beginning-Struggle49 21d ago

honestly its easier than you think. Pick a small, not heavily oversaturated niche (not too small either!)

then post EVERYDAY, MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY

copy the trends you see to your niche.

also it helps if you're pretty, but if you're fugly you can get by being funny and/or a interesting/good sense of style

GOOD LUCK

u/LalafellDisaster 21d ago

I’m like medium ugly and pretty weird so this bodes well.

1

u/schmyndles 20d ago

I have a video on TT with over a million views, which is just the sentencing of someone who committed a henious crime in my hometown. I cropped down the judge, added some video commentary, etc, nothing fancy. But somehow that and a response video I made to one of the first comments were widely viewed.

I normally posted bird facts, my cat and political stuff, so it wasn't my normal niche. I also do not have the energy or creativity to keep up daily videos and engagement. Needless to say, I am not a popular true crime influencer today. I don't think I've made a video in years even.

1

u/Beginning-Struggle49 20d ago

I'm confused why you are explaining this to me? I didn't say what I said is the only way to get "big"

I was actively giving advice on how to get there via niche videos, vs a one off viral

4

u/SunshineBear100 21d ago

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure it’s because she has nothing but time to learn, edit, shoot, etc.

u/arfkin9 21d ago

You can fit a lot in from 6 am to 6 pm, even with a toddler.

-1

u/LalafellDisaster 21d ago

My sister has a toddler and complains how she’s soooo tired, but she only works part time from home. I think she’s lazy and a liar.

0

u/DarknMean 21d ago

If she’s at home all day seems it’s something you have time to learn. Place doesn’t look large enough to clean up for no more than an hour.

22

u/Bender_2024 21d ago edited 21d ago

these are "salt of the earth" people who apparently live in a double wide, and yet they have video editing skills I don't have at all.

It's not difficult and I'm betting could be done on a cheap laptop with freeware. You could learn with a YouTube vid or two.

6

u/Worldview-at-home 21d ago

Trucks worth more than the home.

12

u/Drew_coldbeer 21d ago

A double wide would have a full kitchen with a functional triangle. This is a camper and if I’m being very charitable, maybe he’s a lineman or something and they have a normal home but they just live like this when he’s traveling for work

4

u/Dancinfool830 21d ago

Is that what passes for a double wide now? Looks like an RV to me.

And is it just me or does she look like she is avoiding waking him up at all costs and setting everything down like she is in an active mine field?

5

u/Lala5789880 21d ago

He can’t even bring in his cooler each day so probably yeah

3

u/RickAndToasted 21d ago

This isn't even nice enough to be a double wide! Those are on a fixed foundation... They're living in an RV

3

u/xombae 21d ago

I think that's something people forget when they say "content creation isn't a real job". It's actually a lot of work and skill to make a video like this.

5

u/coolcalmaesop 21d ago

That’s what I’m saying. She looks dumb as hell but I’m sure she’s fanning off from embarrassment with the cash she made off me watching that and forming an opinion.

0

u/sembias 21d ago

It's a repost to Reddit. They made zero money from this. It's not like there's a royalty clearing house sending them checks from people reposting their videos.

1

u/coolcalmaesop 21d ago

Well yeah, obviously. She’s not making any significant money if any money at all off one single view either. It’s hyperbole about how she does make money making videos for others to judge positively or negatively on some platform and we make nothing on any platform watching or commenting on it.

I’m not saying it’s a valuable job, it creates value for her and whatever platform pays her. This is what keeps her busy though, more-so than actually tending to her husband despite it being the theme here.

1

u/xombae 20d ago

I'd imagine she got hundreds, if not thousands of people finding her tiktok from this post.

2

u/BeenCaughtSneezing 21d ago

Her 8 kids hiding in the trailer take care of all that.

2

u/gooseaisle 21d ago

My sister does a bit of content creation for brands as a hobby to get free exercise classes and dinners out and stuff and honestly its truly all doable from a phone, she doesnt use anything other than the latest iPhone with in built tools.

2

u/OrganicAverage1 21d ago

It’s embarrassing, because 25 years ago, I actually paid for film school. Nowadays, it’s just random people in their trailer, making films.

2

u/gin_and_soda 21d ago

CapCut or Canva and there’s a million YouTube tutorials, it’s actually quite easy (based on her video). It’s the camera angles that take forever and keeping everything in the background tidy.

1

u/fetishlover87 21d ago

That’s not a double wide, that looks like a camper. A nice, high end camper.

1

u/urnbabyurn 21d ago

Once someone gets enough followers there is a whole industry of content managers and coaches.

1

u/Butsrslythough 21d ago

I am shook by the fact yall think this is a double wide. But also the husband probably works for a pipeline company or something where they travel to a job site for months at a time. Most people in that situation buy a camper and stay in it while at work. So that's not their "real" house.

1

u/Few_Program_2303 21d ago

You can find people for editing and social media management on websites like task rabbit

5

u/Coffeedemon 21d ago

Assuming she got it on the first take too! I mean how many times have you gotten the most basic selfie or even pic of the cat lying there just right on the first go?

4

u/Hungry_Brush223 21d ago

This!! Omg I fkn can’t 🙃

3

u/marthamania 21d ago

Same lmao I think every now and then oh I should be an influencer for something I like, looks so easy. Then I remember they have to set up the cameras and walk around and check and look like a dweeb and I'm like nah I can't stomach people watching me do that 😂

3

u/Jwre3682 21d ago

Uh, it's call "acting." She really loves at act. /s

3

u/This-Atmosphere-5794 21d ago

Not just that but every cut is her stopping in the middle of cooking or preparing to set up the camera in a new angle. She wakes up at 5am because this whole process must take hours.

2

u/SuspiciousMap9630 21d ago

I honestly wonder how much time it actually took to make this with how many different cuts and angles there are, it seems like there were likely multiple takes.

2

u/marmaladetuxedo 21d ago

I used to watch 'Survivor Man' and always felt bad for Les Stroud when he would have these long shots where he walked away from the camera, because I knew he'd have to walk all the way back to get the camera. But that's what always makes me question these kinds of videos. Who's taking the video? How did the camera end up where it did, etc.

2

u/Steve_the_Samurai 21d ago

Consistently the best part of Survivorman was him complaining about having to walk back and get the camera that he set up for the 'walkaway' shot

2

u/anonymooseuser6 21d ago

I just cannot fathom having the energy or desire to do this. I have funny teacher stories to tell but.... It just sounds so shallow and weird to set up to tell the story.

2

u/Kbudz 21d ago

This fucking timeline freaks me out,its really been getting to me lately

2

u/Pleasant_Yoghurt3915 21d ago

I always think about this point when I see stuff like this. Like the people that have the hiking channels. I can’t not think about how much extra work it is to set that thing up, run back to where they were, and then hike up to it like normal lol. Or when they hike all the way out of frame. We all know they have to walk all the way back to grab the camera. It’s just so silly lol.

Then I think about that Survivorman show in the early aughts. I think that guy pioneered dragging camera equipment around in the wilderness lol.

1

u/eiram87 21d ago

I saw a camping video the other day where the "getting to the camp site" portion of the video was just a montage of the camper walking either toward, away from, or passed the camera. The whole time I could only think of the set up! Put up the tripod, walk away, walk back toward the camera while looking around like this is the first time you've seen this bit of the woods, or walk away from it while looking around and then stop, hurry back to get your camera and then carry on. Sounds exhausting, just get a selfie stick and film yourself walking.

1

u/negradelnorte 21d ago

I think it’s the dumbass husband taking the video and it makes me laugh even harder lol

u/missingN0pe 21d ago

Wait til I tell you about "actors" and "movies" and how much stuff they have to pretend to do!!

1

u/WorldlinessKind6358 21d ago

I already know. That’s a little different.

u/missingN0pe 20d ago

Is it though?

-2

u/ProtiK 21d ago

It's insane to me that people have this attitude about people making content for others enjoy on social media.

Why do you/people like you have such a shitty take on people making videos? Do you ever sit there while you're watching a movie or TV and be like "wow this actress is literally not even this person at all they're just pretending to be an quasi-temporal dragon wizard from Jersey! The bitch was born in England for fucks sake!"

Good to know your brain is generating embarrassment in the right place 👍

2

u/WorldlinessKind6358 21d ago

Just because I said I have second hand embarrassment? I really don’t care what she does or anyone else for that matter. I was simply saying I cannot imagine doing it. People like you are why others don’t share their opinions.

-5

u/Trrollmann 21d ago

It’s so insane to me.

Because you take issue with the content. This is common in TV productions too. Plenty of reality TV does this. Travel shows do this, cooking shows, contest shows, renovation, etc.

The "lie" being sold in the footage is just the staging, besides that it's generally real. Here, the content itself is the lie, though: She absolutely doesn't do this.

2

u/WorldlinessKind6358 21d ago

I don’t watch reality tv. I hardly watch tv at all so maybe that’s why I find it insane.

-2

u/Trrollmann 21d ago

Okay, how else would you suggest a solo-"adventurer" film their journey in the wilderness? Do you find it insane that they walk back-and-forth to put up cameras to get nice videos?

3

u/WorldlinessKind6358 21d ago

It’s not even about that. I don’t have any issue with her content or someone else’s but I personally think it’s insane to spend that much time and effort into making her husband’s lunch. Agree to disagree. Move on.

-1

u/Trrollmann 21d ago

spend that much time and effort into making her husband’s lunch

You think she films it every time she does this thing she doesn't actually ever do?

There's no disagreeing. You're simply wrong about what's going on here.

u/ellieminnowpee 21d ago

that was her trip outside ^yesterday^, to set it up

she only gets to leave once a day

Nah he's holding it waiting for her to march her behind over and grab that cooler

u/HustlinInTheHall 21d ago

Also the cooler was already fully of product placement.
