There are some really helpful posts on the blogsphere on how to revise, Darcy Pattison’s being my favorite. Well, I’m about to give you a peak into MY process. See, my daughter and I always make silly videos on the webcam. I mean, isn’t that why they invented the web cam? When I used to watch the Jetson’s and think how cool it was that they could SEE each other while talking on the phone, I always thought that piece of technology was essential because of the silly possibilities.
So daughter and I made a video, except I forgot to turn the camera off. And I have a few hours of footage now of the comings and goings of our family on a typical night. As fascinating as THAT is, this clip is of me in “revising mode”. You’ll see the structured complication of how my creativity flows. I only wish you could see into my mind.
Warning: It will bore you, but stay with me. This is the first video I’ve ever edited.
