It took me over an hour to put this little one minute video together, LOL! I first attempted to do it in Adobe Premiere and then I thought, wow, I don’t have time for this, so I switched to iMovie. In the past, my favorite editing software was Final Cut Pro but I don’t have a license for it so I need to buy it at some point. Anyway this video was of us earlier today.

What motivated me to restart my YouTube was my good friend Gaile. She was the last “message” from the universe. The very first one that I considered was my other good friend Anne sometime last year. She talked about starting her own channel focusing on cooking. And then it was Ken a few weeks ago who talked about how his coworker’s wife is starting to gain momentum on YouTube and that I should start one too. And then the third time was today from Gaile. My biggest issue has always been privacy and security, so I aim to make my videos kind of privacy-aware. I don’t want people knowing exactly where we live, etc. I’ve always believed that YouTube would be the best platform for me to explore my passion for film and at the same time create video diaries that I can share with my friends and family. To me—at this point—the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

So even though I’ll be taking on three classes in a few more weeks, I’ll try my best to upload once a week.
