So yesterday I got this brilliant idea to do a video blog. I kind of have been curious about it and have been trying to muster up the courage to actually go through with making my own video.
Mistake #1 I haven't actually thought about what exactly my video blog would be about, the only thing I knew is that I wanted to try it. What this means is that I wasted about 2 hours re-recording the clip over and over again trying to talk about different topics. 30 min of that was wasted on fixing my makeup and posing to make sure I look good ;) I also realized that in many occasions I was NOT acting normal, well at least not entirely myself.. OR I just don't realize that's what I look like when I'm nervous.. YIKES! If anything this will be a good way for me to see how I look and sound like when talking to people. I cringed rewatching it whenever I said "uhm". How annoying of me.
So maybe for the next one I will simply answer some questions. Either ask anonymously via formsrping.me/fabgeekling or leave a comment on the blog. And if you're interested you can subscribe to my youtube channel to keep up with my video making adventures. I ordered iMovie and will also be looking for some software that does screen capture so maybe I could try and do some tutorials that way. It certainly would be a lot easier than doing them with all the screenshots.
This is exactly why I won't video blog. I do not have the time to stress over it and I will. I would probably spend way more than the 3 hours you spent. Good for you though. I wish you luck ;)
