What is the best way to ensure fans can stay up-to-date<br />

with Season 3 developments?<br />

Firstly, subscribe to the Exploring Stamps YouTube channel<br />

(https://aps.buzz/Explore), it’s completely free and notifies<br />

you when new episodes and other channel videos are<br />

launched. The best way to follow my progress and challenges<br />

with the season 3 filming is through social media, I post regularly<br />

on Instagram, Twitter and Snupps. The philatelic communities<br />

on those platforms have influenced several of my<br />

videos in the past as I often post questions and polls. I have<br />

been challenged with different ideas that have changed my<br />

perception and approach to various stamp topics.<br />

What are you most excited about for Season 3 (aside<br />

from playing with super fun-looking parachutes)?<br />

The parachute video just proves that I am having way too<br />

much fun with this hobby; I get excited about trying new<br />

things and techniques such as the parachute teaser trailer.<br />

Video provides an endless set of tools to engage an audience,<br />

and one of the bigger challenges is using those tools to create<br />

a balanced video. The goal is to get the viewer interested and<br />

leave them eager to learn more. For each of the first 2 seasons<br />

I experimented and found some techniques that really work<br />

well with philately and storytelling, and I plan to continue<br />

experimenting. I am in the process of building an actual set<br />

for one of the videos, something that I have not yet done. I<br />

am also looking to blend green-screen effects with an on-site<br />

location and I am looking forward to seeing how those episodes<br />

turn out.<br />

Anything you’d like to mention that we haven’t already?<br />

For each video since the very first, I have been learning<br />

about philately and the stamps that I have shown and spoken<br />

about. If you are an experienced and knowledgeable philatelist,<br />

you can see my understanding and respect for philately<br />

grow through the first 40 episodes as well as the off-season<br />

videos. If you are new to the hobby and have watched the videos,<br />

you would have grown and learned about philately with<br />

me. I would love for more collectors to bring their knowledge<br />

and insights to my channel and other social media platforms,<br />

helping to encourage the newcomers to the hobby, and continue<br />

to grow the philatelic presence online.<br />
