Something I noticed. I experimented with HDR exportation in this video, and what I found was the lighting got blown out and the colors look really contrasty. I dont think I will continue to do this in the future, although funny enough it made the mall look a certain way that almost feels nostalgic or something. Idk.
Your videos are really cool! I actually come visit the Somerset Mall a lot even today. The Bookland and Bath & Body Works are my usuals, and of course the seasonal Spirit Halloween when it’s open. I love old malls like this. It’s sad to see them empty, but going in is like stepping back in time. Thank you again for sharing!
Great video! This is my mall, been going to it since opening day when I was in 6th grade . The Bookland has been there since around 1990 1991. Dawahares has been empty since 2008 except for the yearly reincarnation of Spirit Halloween since 2012. The Bath and Body Works is probably leaving this year as another location opened just a mile up the road. The mall location has been dealing with a black mold infestation and was shut down for a month last fall to deal with it.
This was an excellent video. Nice style my friend. I love a cool old mall with Paraline on the ceiling, it just looks so cool! Keep up the good work bro.
Planning to check out the mall in Richmond, KY as well? It's fairly dead but a couple stores still open and the DMV is there, it's a neat and almost dead mall
If you ever go to Wisconsin (dead mall is: Brookfield Square Mall and Valley View Mall (la crosse) (Brookfield square in Brookfield) good open mall Southridge bc the ceiling is very aesthetic
If the camera is an issue, try getting an osmo pocket. Even the first model is great. I still use a pocket one as the features on the newer models are not really needed for filming a mall. It’s also good because most people would never notice you have it in your hand.
I've figured out how to, for the most part, record steadily with a smart phone, but I make myself STUPID obvious when I do it. Having to dodge security and be paranoid of people is driving me to look into an osmo

I saw Return of the Jedi at this mall in 1983. I was ten. Many days ago.

I dig that vintage showplace cinemas sign! Good video. Always like seeing these malls that don’t get much attention.
Wow that mall is really clean.
This Chanel is a gem. You deserve more
Loved everything about this! The ceiling especially ❤️

The malls you've been sharing really want me drive the 12 hours to visit Kentucky!
Great video! Do you by chance know where the white house model that used to be here is now?

I have it recorded now, there wasn't a single soul there for most of my visit!

I feel really old now, I remember that place in the 90's. That place has changed but done better than Richmond Mall...
Yeah, I was happy to see this one was still kinda kickin!
Nice!
I've never seen or heard of Bookland before this video and I thought I had been in this mall before. Apparently not...
