One of my goals this year was to start doing live videos on social media. Whether that be sharing what I've been doing in my studio, answering questions or doing demonstrations etc. Live video and vlogging invites people into your life, it's more real, more raw. I want to be engaging with my friends and supporters not always just presenting the finished, polished article. Being an artist, aesthetics are important to me, I can be a bit of a perfectionist, I have an eye for detail, editing video is an art form in itself and there is a place for that but this medium is a different type of beast. If I want to invite you into my arty world, my REAL arty world, then excellence shouldn't be the aim but practice. The only way to improve, to get more confident, more slick and natural, is to do it, and then do it again and again! So I made a start! I committed to talking into my phone every day for as long as it took to feel ready to give it a go live on social media. Here is a little snippet! I thought it might take a few months but actually within a few days I was more comfortable and decided I would coincide my 1st 'live' with the launch of my 2nd website. “Hello is there anybody there? Is this live, is this working, can your hear me?...” If you want a chuckle – here is a link to my first FB live video What's next? |
