Another April Fool?

Video Novice

Where did I draw courage yesterday to share a video edited in the Windows 11 free Clipchamp video editing software? Both Monday being a rainy one and Tuesday enabling one to be an April fool! 


 ðŸŒ¹I just joined the VideoMasters, a specialty club within the international non-profit Toastmasters International. As a six-year experienced Toastmaster, I enjoy receiving feedback from my friends and colleagues. Here are some highlights:

👀 Roger R on the good: Great to have found a free editor to start with on this project. Glad to see you use their AI auto-captioning feature.

👀 Roger R on the bad: You are self-critical enough to point out the filler lip smack. You may choose to blur the rather plain background for speaker focus. 

👀 Roger R on the ugly: You did not have much gestures but spent a lot of time looking away as if speaking to someone off-camera.

👀 Cindy E: Very professional video, Regina!!  Really impressive. You obviously had more experience than the rest of us when we did our first videos.

👀 Karen W: You are a natural on screen! Great first video!

👀 Ken Fendrick: Hi Regina, Great 1st effort. I liked your opening and felt you gave us a good overview of who you are and why you are in Videomasters.  I loved the idea of your blog and the name of it.  Good use of captions to illustrate!

👀 Marianne G: Great first Videomasters video Regina!  Lighting- good!  Sound - good!  A great getting-to-know-you first video!  and your hair looks amazing! I didn't notice any lip smacks!  Ha!  Love the ending!  Let me know how that Latte is! Emoji

👀 Linda C: Yay!  I just finished watching this!!!!  How fun!!!!

With encouragement like this, how can I not keep going with video production? Simultaneously, I am tackling a Coursera series including The Foundation of Video Editing, Modern Sound Editing, and Modern Video Editing Techniques. The goal remains novice to competent videographer in six months; let's go!

THE BEAUTY OF FLIGHT

Nelly Furtado released this I'm Like A Bird song within the Whoa, Nelly! album that hit Top-10 platinum in 2001. Born in Canada to Portuguese immigrant parents, Nelly is an artist diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Well, I was a wee bit peckish driving along the coast looking for lunch when I encountered the Cliffhanger Café and Bar . Their Turkey California sandwich, the Tajin Watermelon margarita and the awesome view did not disappoint! Having lived here since 2001, I had not previously encountered Torrey Pines Gliderport  (TPG) at the sea cliffs off La Jolla.  Paragliding is an adventure sport to try. TPG has offered up this surprise everyday for the past century--- that is IF and ONLY IF the weather is flyable! VideoMasters on YouTube I just uploaded my Video #2 - Improve Audio project, so here's Torrey Pines Gliderport . This time, I resurrected an older copy of TechSmith Camtasia v. 6.0.2 and connected a Fifine USB desktop microphone. ...

GRIEF TAKES TIME

IN MEMORIAM There are seven remarkable people that have left earth recently. The most recent one is a colleague from the Sweetwater Valley Toastmasters Club 3225. This is the video I created to celebrate the life of Joseph Paul Mogan: His genius application of Math was mostly in federal service to the US Navy at San Diego Naval Base. His generous friendship manifested in everyone he helped along the way. The last time I enjoyed his company was at the Spring Conference hosted by District 5 at the Sheraton Bay Tower .  Christine del Carmen and Malcolm Pusey also had the pleasure of his company over lunch that beautiful day in Harbor Island. I will mostly miss his zeal for storytelling. I remember a speech about his relocating from Alameda County to San Diego on a motorcycle. The man may have traveled light, but he's made an impact to me. Jackie Evancho sang both of his favorite songs on this video — namely, Both Sides Now and Ave Maria . What Truly Matters The most important thing ...

PERSONAL CARE

Halfway through our half-decade courtship, I watched my now husband clean the shower stall in my rental apartment. It had never sparkled until after he donned his yellow gloves and face mask and proceeded to scrub the living daylights out of that bathroom. The unfortunate thing is this room connected the bedroom to the kitchen-living areas and the apartment quickly filled with cough-inducing, eye-watering fumes!  I have to marry this man; he cleans whenever I avoid the chore. I just need to get him better product!   Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) At the start of Autumn, I enjoy a 31-day Clutter Cleanse habit in our home. I start by getting rid of expired medications, foodstuffs, and body care products from our cupboards and drawers.  CPG for self-care includes everything that touches your skin from toothpaste, soap bars, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer, lotion, foundation, color cosmetics, mascara, nutritional supplements, protein sha...
