About That Video I Was Thinking About

I've been thinking about doing that video all week long. Today I didn't have anything to do after I had finished my Cardiac Rehab class this morning. I almost chickened out but the only other thing left was going to the casino. I have been doing so good there this month and I just didn't want to risk losing today. Besides the sun was out and it was a beautiful fall day. So I grabbed my camera and went to the forest to make that video. This time I brought my tri-pod with me. Does that ever make a difference when I use that.

 When I got there the whole forest seemed like it was crawling with people. I thought it would be quiet in the forest. I set up my tri-pod but the people kept passing me by on the trail. So I took my camera way back on a lonely trail to do my video.

 This was the first time I had ever done a video. So if it looks kind of grainy it's because I had it on the wrong setting for the video. I remember when I did my life story on a tape recorder going from one of my old homes to the other, it was so great. I just started talking like I would talk to my best friend. But talking into this video is a whole different story. My mind goes blank in the middle of a sentence and I forget what I wanted to say. I think it's the fact that I'm trying to do it on the first take. I'll have to go buy some video editing software so I can edit out the parts that I don't want in the video. It will be a lot more fun doing my videos then.
 I had to do 7 takes before I was somewhat satisfied with it. I would have done a couple of more takes but this man came out of the woods and I decided not to go any further.

On the way out of the woods I stopped and took some still photos.

 When I got home I started working on uploading my video to Oprah's Web site.  She has a new thing called "OWN"  There you can create your Own Channel  and post your videos. It's really kind of cool. I'll just have to get better at editing those videos though.
