Me and My New Ukulele. One of the opening pics in my new video.
Back when I worked in PR, I was on tv quite a bit. I did talk show interviews, telethons, short news segments...and a few other things I'm sure I've forgotten.
It was loads of fun--especially since the cause was important. I'd show up, answer a few questions, flirt with the camera crew, and be on my way. I loved the challenge of thinking on my feet and was thrilled to get paid for merely talking (something I got in trouble for a lot in high school).
Today, I relived some of that joy, as I started recording an instructional video teaching others how to make altered book journals.
The opportunity came as a surprise via an email I received from Chicago.
"Saw your books on Etsy....love your stuff! Would love to have someone teach me how to do this, but I have not been able to find anyone," the note said.
Thrilled to help, I offered to make a how to video...which has now spilled into other things...including me becoming a producer, director, and video editor.
While I don't think I'll be winning an Oscar anytime soon, I've often thought about making videos that highlight the things I love: SoulCollage, Creativity Seminars, Silly Songs, and Life Coaching.
Who knows? Maybe this is the start of a new adventure.
Altered Today: Skill with a Video Camera and Editing Software, Action on an Idea
It IS the start of a new adventure! Such a great idea! Make it once and reap the rewards for years! :)
