"Laundry Day" - a short film starring my Speed Queen

[danmantn]

Well, it's been a long time since I did a video...and I wanted to do something different. So, I couldn't think of a better short film subject than Laundry Day! And there is nowhere else on earth that this video will be more appreciated than with my friends on here. I hope you enjoy.

Really Nice.

Very Well Done. Love the Typewriter and the Old Desk Stamps.

Great Job. Very Relaxing. I also really like the music.

Agitation speed

The agitation speed seems slower than in your other washer videos of the speed queen....was it on the slow speed cycle? maybe it needs a new belt...

 

[danmantn]

It's on gentle agitaton. No need for a belt; runs like new. Glad you liked the video!

I am considering a speed queen top load

Would it be a good investment? how long do they usually last? i just want a washer that wont break within the first 4 or 5 years lol i have had my fair share of them and frankly quite fed up with the quality of appliances these days.....

I've had this set for almost three years with no issues, bought a second set for my condo last year, no issues...and now my sister owns a set...no issues either. I bought my Speed Queens based on high recommendations from the folks on this site, and have been very pleased.

@danmantn

Thanks for the advice, what is the brand of that beautiful pale blue powder you use? and the softener? i would like to try them if they also give good results and rinse out good....main reason i don't like powder is because it always seems to stick to my clothes even when i follow the instructions right.....

 

[danmantn]

Powder is Fresh Start. It's terrible detergent for stains, but I like the color and fragrance and use it occasionally. Fabric softener was Fuller brand (as in Fuller Brush company).

 

[norgechef]

I have never heard of them lol

Where would i buy the powder and softener at?

 

[danmantn]

You can buy both online.

 

[norgechef]

Cant find any cheap online.....

what site do you buy the fresh start from?

 

[danmantn]

Harris Teeter is the only retail store that I found it. It's terrible detergent, only use it as a flashback of the 80s,

Editing

Nice vid, what did you use to put the video together? Windows or Mac and what software? Very professional looking.

[danmantn]

Tim, Final Cut Pro and my Mac of course.

 

[macboy91si]

Mac!

Drats!

I'm trying to find a video editor for Win7 that's decent and easy. I was thinking that it was probably a Mac production, they make it so easy!

Thanks

Sony Vegas is my alternative when filming with a PC. Lots to learn in both packages.
