14:56 Yes, this was actually the sound my brakes were making.
This is not really a tutorial since this is the ONLY time I’ve ever done this! I learned from watching other people’s YouTube videos, so maybe this will be helpful for someone else, but work on your brakes at your own risk.
I didn’t really want to do the job myself at first. I wanted to pay someone else to do it, but the 2 or 3 people I took it to could never fix the squeak, so I had to take matters into my own hands — or go crazy!
This video is a test of my Flip Cam, which is pretty good except for close-ups. I never added a voiceover or soundtrack to this video as I had intended. If I had waited until I had completed that, then I’d never get this video uploaded! So here you go! As good as it gets.
