A small act of internet archaeology

Every camera
starts somewhere.

Cameras give their files names like DJI_0001 and GOPR0001. Sometimes those names make it all the way to YouTube. Searching for them opens a door into public footage you might never otherwise find.

0001s brings those uploads together. A filename might mean a first attempt, a fresh memory card, or a reset counter. What’s inside is the discovery.
