i’ve also decided to
[2022-06-24 08:57:26 AM] : i’ve also decided to resume work on those videos that i started and then abandoned. making videos is hard, but then again everything is hard, and i already know people will buy the videos. so i’ve decided to “be a professional” and do the work i know needs doing even though it’s not super pleasant. but i have a more cheerful attitude toward the videos now that i went on my little rumspringa

[2022-06-24 11:16:51 AM] : whoa
[2022-06-24 11:17:18 AM] : I only finished a couple of days ago, so I'm not sure if I regret having taken it on :joy:
[2022-06-24 11:17:38 AM] : But hang in there jasonswett — I'm sure it will be worth the effort! :grinning:
[2022-06-24 11:17:49 AM] : i appreciate the encouragement
[2022-06-24 11:18:42 AM] : I wouldn't consider myself an expert by any means, but feel free to discuss the pains and struggles of creating video content here (or DM too)
[2022-06-24 11:20:41 AM] : I know how much the struggles of trying to produce decent videos can sap enthusiasm and energy
[2022-06-24 11:20:42 AM] : i don’t think it’s a matter of being unsure how to do it, it’s just that i don’t like it that much. just have to force myself to do it anyway
[2022-06-24 11:23:40 AM] : oh sure, I didn't imagine you had technical challenges :slightly_smiling_face: I prefer writing over creating video 1000x, but I pushed myself to take on the client project I mentioned because I know I want to create video courses under my own name, because that's what a lot of people want... even if I don't particularly like doing video.
[2022-06-24 11:24:25 AM] : so it was pretty rough, but I did learn a ton
[2022-06-24 11:25:31 AM] : the comments on this video are helping to keep me motivated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SZxieW4Tqw
[2022-06-24 11:25:41 AM] : it's probably been suggested to you already, or you're already planning to, but I'd get early feedback on the videos as early as you can
[2022-06-24 11:25:46 AM] : bingo! :boom:
[2022-06-24 11:25:52 AM] : that's great :slightly_smiling_face:
[2022-06-24 11:26:10 AM] : yeah, i’m really happy about it
[2022-06-24 11:26:35 AM] : comments, likes, approaching 1K views…it feels like a “real” youtube video
[2022-06-24 11:26:50 AM] : one of the toughest things on the project I just did was near zero feedback from my client along the way
[2022-06-24 11:27:03 AM] : yikes, that would make it hard
[2022-06-24 11:27:09 AM] : so if you can continue to get feedback on the video you're creating along the way I'm sure that will help a lot
[2022-06-24 11:27:15 AM] : yes
[2022-06-24 11:28:56 AM] : nice production on that video btw :thumbsup:
[2022-06-24 11:29:12 AM] : yeah?
[2022-06-24 11:29:39 AM] : i find it hard to tell how good these things are
[2022-06-24 11:30:15 AM] : simple and clean
[2022-06-24 11:30:48 AM] : thanks!
[2022-06-24 11:30:52 AM] : yeah, it is really hard to judge your own work, especially with a medium you're not confident in / don't enjoy
[2022-06-24 11:31:06 AM] : yes
[2022-06-24 11:31:30 AM] : most importantly, your sound is good :grinning:
[2022-06-24 11:32:13 AM] : yeah, i knew that would be important
