NEW VIDEO – IT’S SOOOOO SIMPLE!
Why do they always say that ? Simple! My sweet patootie – as they say that in American sitcoms.
I made a video for Youtube. I wanted a home- movie look so I got Marlee, the daughter of a friend to perform. Marlee adores the limelight and she knows that, sure as Moms and Dads love you and all that glitters is fab-u-lous, that she will be an international star the very minute she’s grown up. She did it in just one take! That’s what I call professional!
Then I tried to upload it. I watched the “how to”videos. Several were incomprehensible … they talked too fast or the sound quality was hideous. Many had no idea how to convey information. But some were okay and I thought, yes, I can do this. I signed on to Google but the password … do they have a special machine-of-evil for messing up passwords? Half a day later that got sorted. At last I got as far as Youtube “Upload”. I clicked. A rectangle appeared. It had one of those circles turning, turning, turning. It’ll take time I thought, and left it. An hour later it was still turning, turning, turning. Five hours later, turn, turn, turn….
I spent two days asking questions of Google, viewing “how to” videos and trying again and again. Finally I had to call in the troops. The troops is my neighbour Leona Cleary who is a whiz on computer things. She didn’t know what was going on either but before you could say boo to a goose she’d set up a new channel for me and uploaded my Burning Bright video. Yieeeeeha! Take a look.
