#11, Late Night Edits

Sitting late at night editing another video. Actually I am trying to make Beach Birds shorter and more attractive, livelier, and a bit faster. This spells shorter music piece will be needed, always a good sign.
Writing more music for a future video, which has not yet been decided. Usually I do the opposite, shoot the video first and then try to write music to it. Writing to something you have not seen yet, is sometimes challenging, but the video can be released much faster after it is shot. There are pluses and minuses to both approaches.
Things are kind of slow on YouTube after Thanksgiving, people are probably still digesting their turkeys and not watching videos!

#9, Slow Time, More Music and Edits

Beach Lights, Pacific Coast, California, November '07, artistic view.

After Thanksgiving things became somewhat slower, not much is happening. Days are much shorter, at 5:00 pm the Sun is gone. There is little time to shoot videos outside, and I basically shoot all of my videos outside, at the beach or very close to the Pacific Ocean. This is were I live and this is where most of my videos usually come from, except when I go on a short vacation somewhere else and manage to take my most essential video equipment with me. Should I start to vlog? This crosses my mind from time to time, and usually I put it to rest for some time. I can write a blog in 5-10 minutes, but need 2-3 days to edit a video with more or less same information. So the blog wins for now as far as time saving goes.
I am editing two videos, and writing a music piece for the second one. Since I can seldom write something in less than a week, you see why I cannot release videos faster than one per week.
Hope you stick with this blog, and I promise to get better once I figure out how it really works. Do you like my pictures? Do you see the Moon in the picture above?
