Video Not Working? Fix It Now

...I talked to them beforehand and was given permission to video as they do have some rules... The video ended up being rushed a bit, was trying to stay ahead of the people/talking etc...Also had a camera issue in the beginning of the first room and had to reset the gimbal, my fault.... The large room with the big abstract style paintings that I used for the picture was the one I liked the best... "A famous industrialist and philanthropist, "Colonel Sam" McLaughlin was a founder of the automotive industry in Canada. Involved in the design and manufacture of carriages and sleighs for his family business, he foresaw the importance of the automobile and adapted the McLaughlin Carriage Works for automotive production. He partnered with Buick Motor Company in 1907 and later with Chevrolet. In 1918, his companies were incorporated into General Motors of Canada. His shrewd business skills led to a vice-presidency at the American parent company, confirming his strong ties with this industrial giant, and his leadership of it in both countries." The businesses were located here in Oshawa, his Estate is here as well.... https://www.automotivehalloffame.org/honoree/robert-samuel-mclaughlin/ https://rmg.on.ca/ #Oshawa
