Video Introduction

Recording myself was a bit strange.  I felt a little like the girl in Wesch's video.  I felt like I was talking to a void, as if I was having a conversation with myself, even though I knew other people would eventually read it.  It's always difficult finding the right things to say to people that you don't know, which is one of the challenges of YouTube.  Part of it is knowing who your audience is.  If you are targeting a particular audience it makes it a little bit easier.  Also, if you have something in particular that you want to say or portray in your video, it makes it easier.

I guess it was  hard to sum up my life in two minutes...I had to delete it about three times before I finally ended up with something decent.  I'm sure everyone goes through that, though.  Using a laptop makes it difficult to get a good camera angle.  Short of holding it, I am not sure what to do.  I guess I need to develop something that will prop up the camera for me at the right level.

I posted the intro. to my blog just in case you haven't seen it yet.  Take care!
