Steven Spielberg, Eat Your Heart Out. Producing Videos Is Fairly Easy
I’ve been working all day with Camtasia and Powerpoint to produce a new video. It’s my first attempt at making a video, although I have had the tools I need for many months.
Although I do believe I have taken on a large project and it will require many more sessions before the video is completed, I KNOW I WILL get there in the end. Understandably, I am a little bit nervous at speaking on the video, (it shows) but the nerves will go away, eventually, and I will be talking into the microphone as I talk to my friends. It just seems a little strange talking to a PC screen. I will soon be churning out videos with aplomb.
What I have achieved so far, I am very pleased with. It does look professional, it’s as though I have always been doing them. In a way, I suppose I have when I think about my design jobs in the past. But only to the point of presentation, my audio leaves a lot to be desired.
If anybody reading this entry has any tips on how I should present my audio, please leave me a comment and let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
Just for today, I have turned off my emails. It is surprising how much time reading emails takes. It is also surprising at how tempted I was to turn my emails back on and read them. No procrastinating here though. I realize that I need to stay focused if I am to achieve my goal.
Perhaps I will only read my general email accounts twice a week but keep my support emails open all the time. This should save me a couple of hours each day which I could spend doing constructive things. BUT!!!!! I will be missing out on all those time sensitive emails and may be missing out on some great deals………..
Don’t you just love it when your head is buzzing with ideas? I know I do. Hopefully, I will sleep well and be refreshed sufficiently for another day with my video. However, before I do go to bed, I shall have to write down a few ideas that have come to me while I have been writing this post. See what I mean?
Don’t forget, if you have any ideas on how to refine my audio, please leave a comment.
Until later, here’s to Your Success,
Gary Packer
