Outside My Comfort Zone
I haven't done much video before - for a lot of reasons. The biggest of my challenges - getting used to seeing my own face on screen. I remember when I first started in radio (fresh out of college). Most people do NOT like how their recorded voice sounds. I was one of them. It took awhile (I worked in radio for 12 years) but hearing my voice today doesn't bother me.
But when you're captured on VIDEO, you SEE everything. Every tick, gesture, wart, wrinkle and nose wipe.
I like to keep a pretty good image of myself in mind. That level of confidence helps me help others. Watching my trial runs for this project has been a humbling experience. If you ever want a dose of reality check ... stick yourself in front of a camera and try to tell a story without looking like a clueless blithering idiot.
