Back To The Very Beginning
I had not had a moving-picture camera pointed at me in something like 23 years since I took a couple of film school courses back in college, and we shot in Super8 and 160 Ektachrome… I was very nervous and didn’t know what kind of a trip I was embarking on, but I felt I had a voice just like all the other regular people out there, not professional actors, on YouTube… So I bought a digital camera that the salesman assured me would shoot videos, and besides, Cindy was making noises about getting a digital camera for taking vacation pictures as we were booked for Cancun in just a few short months. I loved taking pictures with my old SLR, but if this thing could take vacation pictures AND shoot videos, it was a clear case of two birds dying by the flinging of just one stone. I was just aching to make videos like Geriatric1927, Zipster08, Phaedress, Tushygalore, and all the other regular people who made the videos that I’d seen on here. The idea totally fascinated me that I, too, would be watched. Then I could give back to YouTube some of the hours of entertainment that I had already received! So I carefully composed my shot, and sat in front of the camera, and feeling nervous as well as like a total goof, I started talking about my experiences with (what else?) computers! I shot the thing and tried to upload it. I got the rude message that my video was too long (But it was ONLY about four minutes! I saw YouTube videos a lot LONGER than that many times.) The very next day …

I wouldn’t have it any other way
No I think you have always been a little mad.
You mean we have a head start? Groovy.
You’re already mad and I’m already old
I’ll have to take a look soon…
I actually just uploaded my first vlog attempt recently. It’s called “Re:needy”.
Gosh, I look innnocent!
I was even less ept than you were. I thought it was too cool that just anyone could make videos.
I still do. With practice we improve at showing our talents…
Er..my ineptness inspired you?
I had a lot of fun going through that old footage and making something a little better out of it. I also like to make fun of myself…
I was totally scared when I recorded that, but all of your early videos were part of what drove me to get up there and make my terrible voice sing!
The burning desire was there to MAKE a video and put it up. May it never go away…
Thanks for your patience, Hon.
May we grow older and madder together…
I’m just a bit more confident than I was at the beginning, I think. Fifty subscribers was once a dream far in the future!
You know? It seems like a long time ago in the way of experience and making videos, but with each project some of the same emotions keep on welling up in an Artesian way: Can I do this?
Will it be good? Will anyone enjoy it? Am I wasting my time on it? You keep on answering these questions positively, and my doubts are
banished every time you comment, Kev!
Still, starting a new project is always daunting somehow, but the completion and positive feedback make it all worthwhile!
