So I have been a little quiet since my rush of posts on the weekend... I've been setting up and doing my first art video in my spare time - basically Tuesday afternoon and some snatched time Wednesday and Thursday.
I have decided that as I am rerunning Art Journaling 101 in a different shaped journal from last time (Milini don't make that size journal anymore), I will record my lessons as I re-do the pages so that people can do my course even if they are not in Victoria.
As part of the course, I am splitting 101 into 2 courses - 101 and 201. The new 101 will cover the absolute basics, and will be FREE!! My pages will be a little different for the (new) 201 lessons, as I don't want to copy exactly - but I will be utilising the same techniques.
So, on to setting up - who knew how hard it would be to set up in my craft space to film?? This was my first attempt using my good DSLR camera and a tripod.
Totally unsuccessful. The camera just wasn't stable enough on the table. After experimenting with ladders from the shed to try and get the height, I gave up and did a mad dash to Harvey Norman where the very helpful salesman understood my problem, and came up with this:
Don't you love my advanced lighting diffusion technique? It works though :)
So this is how my art / work studio looks now. Its a lot messier than I would like - having the large table jutting into the centre of the room, but sh*t happens I suppose.
So, onto the first ever video. I have embedded it below, but it would also be helpful if you could nip over to vimeo and give it a like.
I know that for many of you it is really obvious stuff, but it has proven to be a real issue when I have been teaching. I would very much appreciate any feedback - too long, too boring, don't see my face, I speak too quickly, the music sucks, I'm awesome - anything really!!
