Family Day Long Weekend

I didn't edit my makeup video... haha...

I just don't really like the footage. But I'll edit it eventually and make it fancy somehow. It's a challenge that I'm willing to take on.

This weekend we did quite a few things. First was Stage West's Drinking Habits play with buffet on Friday evening, then on Saturday I went out for ramen at Shiki Menya with Angela. We also had the Choco Julip at Alforno for the yyc hot chocolate festival. Too much bourbon! O_O And on Sunday we attended a housewarming at our friends' new place, and got them a nice terrarium from Plant.

During the housewarming we talked for several hours. Our friend is actually a real estate photographer, and after talking on that subject I started day dreaming... about how I want my videos to look, not just for YouTube, but professionally as well. I love depth of field, I love close-ups and I love creating a story for my videos.

I think that's why it's tough for me to create on demand content with little editing/effort. I want to put more effort into my videos, make them more stylish, and worry about editing stylishly later. I want the mise-en-scene to make sense, to look appealing. I love cinematography.

And that's what I will aim to do. It's going to take a lot of work and possibly some new lenses and equipment.

On that note, I received a notification that my website domain renewal is soon and well, I haven't worked on my website AT ALL!! What the heck?

And that's why I need to make more better quality videos, because I need to update my portfolio. I haven't really done much since 2014... embarassing. I'm going to do my own videos for a bit and in the meantime I will try to find some freelance gigs. Some simple ones to start off would be nice. :)

My goal is still to work in video for a full-time gig. It'd be cool if I could get something similiar like my friend, but in video! I'm not unhappy but I just want to do more.

Oh this week I also posted a blog post. I need to figure out a new post now...
