Alright, welcome to another episode. Another episode in the episodes. I have
lost track of the numbers since… It's two hundred and thirty something I think. I've
lost track… I'm going out I'm working on a video I alluded to this video some
time ago and I said I had an idea for a video I wasn't really sure so it kind of
goes along with with the hashtag be the all human struggle hashtag and it is a
it is about facing your fears this is a theme you may have noticed that I've I
have employed this theme multiple times throughout the life of season one that
if you don't try something if you don't do something then it won't happen and
I'm reprising that yet again because I still see people people around me in my
daily life who want to do something but they let their fears hold them back
they let fear of failure or a fear of rejection or fear that it's going to be
too hard or fear that it's not gonna pay they let fear hold them back
and so I started I started on this video about a week ago
just trying trying to put together a rebuttal to that idea that that fear is
something that you have to you know let it control you
so the the rebuttal and I guess I'll go ahead and say it is going to be a music
video I'm doing another music video I'm gonna try to it's not gonna be a spoken
word this is another I'm calling it the the EDM the EDM urge so that's what I
want to do it and that's why I'm in the car today I'm gonna go out and shoot
some clips for bat video
so I'm trying different ways of using the DSLR while driving in the Acura I
never really found a way to do that in the Tahoe that seemed convenient and I
finally visually gave up and just went to using the iPhone all the time when I
was in the car with the Acura though I don't know I just I feel like it's worth
exploring to see if I can improve my my car time video and audio quality a
little bit so I've been I've been happy enough with the windshield time from
from the Tahoe the problem in the acura is there's just not a good place to
mount the the phone I found a place I kind of liked but then I kind of didn't
like it there so I'm gonna you know yeah try to constantly improve incremental
improvement Bryan flashes a dove I'm sorry I always say the names wrong I've
pronounced my own name wrong Bryan had a video recently about incremental
improvement incrementally getting better with each successive attempt at
something and that is kind of kind of the story of my life I guess is trying
to incrementally get better
today I dropped I dropped the video the the tutorial video on the Photoshop
plug-in portrait Pro and I kind of looked around that that seems like an
area of YouTube that is not overly represented with videos there's a lot of
cool features in the portrait Pro and so I'm gonna do some more tutorials I'm
probably going to try to make that more of a regular thing maybe once a week or
so to to try to fill that gap that appears the the portrait Pro plugin is
pretty amazing and there doesn't seem to be a lot of tutorials on that so I'm
gonna see if I can get in on that I also dropped the reddit the subreddit group
the the guy and then made a subreddit for me and then we sort of had a little
negotiation that if if the subreddit got a certain number of subscribers I would
make a video private link it there so I did so there's a you can go to down in
my description there's a link to the subreddit of videos it's not it's not
blocked from anybody else it's just that it's publicized there and it's kind of
goofy then they wanted a lot of a lot of things and I tried to deliver so if
you're interested in seeing something pretty goofy you can slip on over to
there and check that out
so I've come to Kankakee Marsh to do some some video clips for videos talking
about as I was driving to the Kankakee Marsh I'm gonna whip out my Osmo mobile
here hopefully it's charged up and I'm just
some I'm just gonna be roll with the phone so I I really really like the
effect of the using the gimbal but I have to say there's just not a good way
of putting it down when I was doing the the B the BB video I was trying to put
it down there's there's there's not a there's not a screw mount in the bottom
the screw mounts on the side this you have to have a very particular tripod
thing with a 90 degree neck on it and there's just not a they've made some
improvements and it is very the results are really nice but getting to that
place where you can get those results number of steps that must be followed
also I gave up I haven't tried lately I gave up on their their their video app
I'm using filmic Pro and filmic Pro will talk to this guy I think I'm guy the
blinking you're about to lose your battery indicator
maybe I don't care about audio for this one cuz I'm just doing some video device
hardware Osmo mobile I'll turn it off turn it on and it pairs and now the the
handles and the so I'm gonna go shoot this stuff anyway a little quick
behind-the-scenes I don't know if that interests very many people but there it
was and I'll sit in your doing I thought I'd go ahead and video this all right
I'm gonna shoot some of that I'll talk to you in a second wrap this guy up wrap
up this this episode so bring this conversation back
to the idea of not letting your fears stand in the way of what you're doing
my second son Nathan called yesterday and we were talking and we got talking
about about the the channel and there was that the theme of bravely going
forward was part of that conversation and he made an observation that and I
really appreciate because his his insight into these kinds of things is
very very valuable so he said he said the diversity in my channel was really a
reflection of who I am as a person and he started he started going through all
the different things I've done in my life being a teacher and a coach in the
past and then working in mental health and then working in technology as a web
designer and the photography and music and all the things that I have I have
touched over the years he said the playlists are a great way of putting
that content there for people and and he encouraged me to not be shy about that
he encouraged me not to to feel like that was a mistake he pointed to another
youtuber that he subscribes to does games and and things like that and then
reviews and playtime and he said the the way the guy uses playlists it lets all
of his 2.7 million 3.7 million subscribers know when to know when to
check in and he was tagging things in the titles so that Nathan knew whether
or not he wanted to go watch that video or whether that was going to be one of
his things that Nathan wasn't interested in you know he reviews this particular
game that Nathan doesn't play Nathan doesn't necessarily want to go there he
said that I should keep doing what I've been doing and that I should continue to
be true to who I am and not let my fear and not let my the fear that I'm not
doing when everyone else does he said don't worry about that
he said just keep doing it keep labeling your videos so that if someone wants to
watch a photography tutorial then in a snap life episode appears in their
subscription they they won't go but if they're not interested interested in
photography and a photography video does show up then they won't go I think I
said two negatives if you want to watch the photography video then when them
yeah he encouraged me not to let my fears hold me back and I really
appreciated that I really appreciated that
he reiterated again he said that you have a way of taking really complicated
and interrelated ideas and then just break them down to something simple and
a nice little soundbite he called attention to the must plus one video I
did last week he said you you've taught me that you know years and years ago and
because I've adopted that in my own adult life that I always do that one
more thing just to kind of stay ahead of the game he said but I've never I never
thought of those words and he complimented he said you know my way of
breaking things down like that so I appreciate those those remarks that's it
for this video it's kind of a channel update and in a testimonial about not
myself not letting my fears stand in my way of doing what you know needs to be
done not letting my fears hold me back my fear of not being like everybody else
my fear of not being good enough he's you know Nathan's encouragement was keep
making videos keep labeling the videos keep put him in the playlist if you want
to make another spoken word video by the way he did he had another very
intelligent young man have said that I've got to do more so we'll see we'll
see we'll see what comes with that but the next video that comes out the
one I'm working on today the reason that came to Kankakee Marsh the reason that I
came here there's a sign that is not gonna be spoken more but it is it is
going to be a music video the wind is kind of a kind of brisk I got some more
b-roll I need to shoot for that other video thank you for watching this one
thank you for subscribing to the channel leave me a comment a question a thought
all those sorts of things that is all I have for this one I will see you in the
next one thanks for watching that the diversity in my channel was really a
reflection of Who I am as a person wind is about to blow this over
