![]() ![]() Our primary bathroom (original photo is the one I’m not in, I hope that’s obvious…). So after two weeks of no work we’re back at it this morning, but I thought I’d share the biggest (but not the only) undertaking during our time off. My plan was to go back to work January 3rd…but then my wife and I both said, “Nah, let’s keep going.” Beast got away with boring content early on, but I wouldn't risk copying him, and I've never had any interest in watching him count to 100,000 or read the entire dictionary). Which side are you on? Creation or consumption? Doing something else entirely, gave my brain freedom to stop always consuming other people's stuff. So yeah, my wife and I renovated a bathroom over the holiday break. Boredom, leads to creativity in my experience. When my kids are off devices, they want to build legos, bake cookies, and they really start getting antsy. Maybe it’s just me, but there is a direct correlation between more consumption and less creation (and vice versa). The more 'content' I consume, the less I feel inspired to create anything myself. If you’re a content creator, and find yourself watching content all the time, have you felt your own creation slowing down lately? We don't want a reflection of our boring lives, we want an aspiration of what life could/should be.* They almost certainly weren’t watching TV for the entire episode.Įntertainment usually is only interesting if the characters are experiencing something. I bet I can guess what the people in that episode were NOT doing… Think of a truly memorable episode of your favorite TV show. We're going back to scripting a majority of the video, and I'll do the software demo portions with an outline keeping me on track instead of a whole script. So our new plan? We're going with our old plan. I'd get so in my head trying to remember what we'd just agreed upon was a good way to say a line, that I still sounded like I was reading even when I wasn't. So the time we were saving not scripting was pushing my editing time longer and longer, as well as our studio time.īut did it at least sound better unscripted? ![]() ![]() So to fix that, we've moved to outlining our ideas and letting me go a little more off-the-cuff for the past few months.īUT.it's chaos trying to edit the ramblings of an unscripted video from a guy with ADHD (me).Įven with Ryan and Katie in the studio keeping me on track, without a script to follow, I'm forcing them to remember what I'd just said, which is hard to do. Our YouTube videos were always fully scripted.īut they took us forever to write and review.Īnd while Erin's videos always sounded natural when she read them, mine always sounded like I was reading from a script. It helps that I get to work with people I trust are doing this to get the best out of me. It can freak people out the first time they're interrupted on camera. We interrupt when needed to get the best possible results from each other. In fact, whenever we're in the studio, this is our norm. Two: When I would forget to smile, I'd think about my hoodie strings and how that moment made me laugh and I'd kind of chuckle to myself and start smiling.ĭon't be afraid to interrupt your workflow. At first, that sounded crazy, "Really? My hoodie strings caused us to stop." But go look at the beginning of this clip, they're WAY at an angle. ![]() One: She was telling me that my hoodie strings were at an angle. Two good things happened as a result of it: In front of that camera you get yourself SO (overly) focused, thinking about everything you're about to do, that when you're finally rolling on the video, if you suddenly get cut off on your fourth word.well, it cracked me up.Īnd here's the thing: I'M SO GLAD SHE STOPPED ME. I loved hearing Ryan's "That was vicious." lol One and a half hours of studio set up time. ![]()
