video making and producing

I never knew I had such video making interest until recently when I get my hands on gopro.

Looking at all the fanciful marketing video by gopro, it got me so pump up to buy one and produce my own...

Gopro associate themselves to being sporty, action pack and fun, so I naively though buying the camera will help me easily create the same kind of marketing videos like gopro.

Haha.. so silly me.. only to know this when I felt disappointed with my first amateur video..

I spent a ton of time the last 2 days on YouTube, observing how others film and edit their travels and adventures.. I'm still learning and hope I can produce better videos in the coming future..

Some things to note will be multiple angles, story board, panning and slow motion on high impact points..

I believe videos are awesome in telling a story and capturing the moment.. (a photobook is awesome for creating stories too though). I want to continue to create my stories, for my own memories down the road...

giving criticism

its one thing to know something and another to apply it in life...

remember the criticism sandwich suggested by dale carnegie?? apparently, i did not apply it when necessary after reviewing my life and what i've done for the past few weeks.

what i did not know was to watch my tone when being rebutted. When things get heated up, its get out of control, so mentally be prepared for rebuttal when giving criticism.

the point is not to "win", the point is to get the message across..
