Making Course Videos
Progressing but a lot of screen time for one week!
Short one this week as I have so much video editing to do and with my self imposed deadline of the end of the month looming ever closer, I can’t focus on writing when I should be editing.
It was my 49th birthday this week and I enjoyed having many of the family over at various times and Dad took me out for a birthday lunch, which was lovely. Felt like we were somewhere tropical.
Cooking Course
Finished mod 2: video 3 - Kitchen Equipment & Utensils and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
The bulk of the video is stock video clips and images from Canva, which is one subscription that continues to astound me. How is it that they only charge £10 a month and yet Adobe is three times that amount and I’m only using Illustrator and even then I have to use an outdated version just so I can get it to work with my sticker cutting machine!!!
Still need to film a handful of b-roll clips for mod 2: videos 1 - Basic Food Safety & 2 -Basic Knife Skills and Safety, will do that next. Then I can upload those three videos to the course and start on mod 2: vid 4 - Mindset Training. That will be an interesting one.
Jiu Jitsu
My new training intention is to finish more submissions.
This is leading to more submissions… but not as many as I hoped.
However, with this intention I feel I’m getting better at chaining attacks and staying in offensive cycles, which feels good. I’ll stick with this for a while because I really need to tighten up actual finishes. That is the aim of the game after all!
Bus Conversion
Although the Summer seems to be slipping away fast I have to prioritise the course right now so haven’t done anything on the bus this week.
As long as the storm passing over tomorrow, or any other one we have coming in the next six months, doesn’t blow the tent away, I’ll be able to work on the bus throughout the winter for the first time since I bought it.
Next Week…
Video editing, including filming and finding b-roll.
Maybe some time on the bus if I get ahead of my editing schedule.
What are you up to out there? I hope you’re working on something you’re passionate about, and managing to do it in a healthy way! Have a great week 😊
