The Steemit Crowd-Sourced Video... and Not Being a Weather Girl...
A few days ago I was asked to participate in a fantabulous creative project idea from @teamhumble.
He's looking for Steemit peeps to record one line, on video, and send it over to him so he can stitch together a super-duper colaborative Steemit video. Awesome!
Here's the post: Steemit Crowdsourced Video Post
So, of course, I said yes. And the next day I set off to a nearby park to record my one line.
I thought it would take a few minutes.
Half an hour later I had a bunch of takes like this one (I can't even remember what happened here):
And this one (Some kind of rabbit in headlights scenario clearly):
Ok, I did have a few more takes but I realised when I got home that my camera lens had a smudge on it, plus I'd apparently forgotten how to just be me and was instead attempting to be an overly enthusiastic weather girl.
Seriously.
I got home and showed my other half a few of the (I thought) decent takes, and he took one look and burst out laughing.
Why on earth are you talking like that?! he cried through tears of mirth.
Like what? I pouted.
Like you're the woman off the Persil advert!
I immediately proceeded to get into a big huff with him and childishly started accusing him of not supporting me in ANYTHING I DO EVER...
Go me. [rolls eyes]
He was completely right of course.
Anyway, today is a new day. And I've now sent a new video over to @teamhumble, which I'm happy to say is less 'weather girl-ish' and more me. Kinda.
But, although I'm currently less than perfect at chilling out in front of a camera and just being me, I have been inspired to practice more and maybe bite the bullet and start doing some vlogs here on Steemit.
So watch this space!
And oh, I believe there are still a few lines left that have yet to be claimed for this project.
So if you fancy it, get yourself over to that post and sign up to be part of the very first Steemit video collaboration! Here's the link again!

Follow me, @johleen if you like the kind of stuff I do. If you don't, then don't!!
Much love!
I say bite the bullet :D You can never go wrong with just being yourself, unless your true self is a magnet for mistakes, in which case I guess you can go wrong a bunch of times. Though, I doubt it ;)
Community-driven projects are what helped STEEM thrive through every price dip, and I'm glad that more and more are popping up each day. I haven't read your comment to my post yet, and I'm excited to do so. Just wanted to drop by first to say thanks for the shoutout! :D I really love your "Who I'm Loving Right Now" idea. Shines a spotlight without taking too much from the post. Awesome!
Oh hey @jedau! Consider that bullet bitten!
You're more than welcome, your writing is fantastic. :)
Thanks to you too!
EDIT: oooh thanks so much for the voting boost!
Don't mention it! Consider it an extended thanks, since my votes currently aren't worth a lot haha!
omg, yes, all of the yes. the laughing one was adorable and i TOTALLY understand that frame of mind. it's totally crazy how a camera can make us change the perceived look of who we are and what we want other people to see us as. i for one am EXCITED about the vlogs, i have found vlogging to be incredibly liberating and connecting over the years. i swear by them and i've only stopped because i don't have a great camera right now and i'm picky as heck about the quality, don't know why. never shook that. the best video camera is the one you have on you - ANYWAY, thanks for all the props and writing this out and sharing! you video will be great in the overall piece. excite.
btw, anchorman. yes. all day!
Lol! Agreed!
Haha thank you and you're welcome! So pleased and excited to be a part of it!
it's gonna be a great one, i'm certain of it, got some great people part of it and i can't wait to extend this, it's really lit a little fire under me for the next steps for this because it's going to grow into something much bigger, i know you had some actress chops briefly but imagine something for that arena + crypto. plans are a forming! :)
The possibilities are endless!!!
i've got a few MVP (minium viable product) ones to work out, i think it's fairly straight forward to at least sketch out and hire a coder over, could make these much easier to put together.
Intriguing.... and exciting....!
key to creative projects!
I loved...
:) Thanks!
It will be really exciting to see the final video lol
Yes indeed!
maybe you want to look into Michelle Holmes True Reflection Visibility Challenge?
It's free too, but it is a real seriously challenging challenge.
sign up if you have the balls.
you will never have trouble talking into the camera again.
oooh this sounds very, very interesting, I will check it out (and check my balls!)
Thanks!
Appreciate you coming over and commenting on my posts @spaingaroo! :)
I wish I had fewer friends, lol.
It's so hard to keep up with everyone's stuff.
But if you feel it could be for you, I say go for it. you won't regret it. although you will probably cry and stamp your feet, like I did
http://michelle-holmes.com/ don't worry too much about the guff, whether you think you are a conscious entrepreneur or not and all that.
Okey dokey... cheers!
Do you have T.P. for my bunghole? I would hate for my bungholio to get polio.
