I’m not sure why, but my original video for this gathering has been lost.  I think it might have been taken down due to a song copyright, but I can’t be sure.  Regardless, I thought the Sausagefest 2012 video had been lost.  Fortunately I found the files, and was able to re-edit the video to new music.  I lost a little bit of voiceover stuff as a result, but better safe than sorry.

Sausagefest 2012 was the first documented on video.  It was the 11th Sausagefest, and I was hesitant to make a video, due to the “What happens in the valley, stays in the valley” rule.  But I didn’t see any harm in sharing these visuals.  I got complaints in the following years.  “The media is coming!” said Ryan any time I approached.  “Here comes the paparazzi!”

This video was original posted in two parts, now joined into one.  My former brother-in-law Melvin saw the first part and said, “You talk about this great party you’re having, but this video is just rain and mud.  Doesn’t look very fun.”

“Yeah, but what happens in the valley, stays in the valley,” I responded.

I thought about it and he was right.  I created the second part after, to show the party as well.

Additionally, while working on the video, I also discovered that I had a ton of still photos that were not used in the originals.  Since I was editing to a specific song and had those constraints, I may have left these out for length reasons.  Now I can add them back in, and just pick a longer song.  This time it’s the “Randy” Remix by Max the Axe.  I sprinkled in the still photos throughout the video, to hopefully give you a more seamless experience.

Enjoy the video.
