Introducing Videos!

The time has finally come to make videos of my projects. Cheers!?

Many people have asked to see my work as it is completed or in-progress or even to hear me discuss how I made certain decisions or conceived certain designs. So, these forthcoming videos (via my new YouTube channel) will hopefully accomplish all of those goals.

That having been said, I have been getting to know my new friend: the webcam (pictured above). How does one get to know a webcam? Well… I’ve been making a few videos and tweaking the settings, learning to edit using software and also setting up the webcam on an easel, playing with lighting and angles, et cetera. It’s a whole new world for me.

In addition to realizing I certainly desire a manicure every week, I have discovered that I need a lot of work making videos. Ha! So hopefully as time goes by, I’ll begin honing the skill to make better videos for you and the rest of the paper-crafting viewing world. [Big sigh and little giggle.]

Despite my hesitance, I am going to go ahead and post the videos. Now, some of the first videos I’ve made are fairly long; so, I hope to edit and maybe speed them up and then remove the sound and either play music (which is probably what’ll happen) or even voiceover in some cases. This is not a skill that I have yet. I don’t know how to do this but I’m currently trying to learn the software to be able to accomplish those tasks for the video that I have taken thus far.

After I achieve all these things, I will bravely hit the publish button…..stay tuned.
