ADVENTURE AWAITS…

if I don’t destroy my laptop in the process.

My, oh my what an experience this was! I admit, I am new to the videography realm of the technological universe in which we live and, I was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

I didn’t know what to expect. How was a mere mortal such as myself going to construct a video worthy of this fantastic course? *insert wild-eyed look of sheer panic*

Me at about 6pm on Friday, March 18th, 2022

Ok, enough of the melodrama; it WASN’T that bad. Seriously. Once I roped in my partner and we roughed up a sketch of what we wanted, it was as easy as maneuvering down the slip ‘n slide in the heat of July.

Anyhoo, after bouncing back and forth between Canva and Adobe spark, I did settle on Canva (I had a premium membership, why was I even debating with myself?). Still a total rookie at it, but at least it was somewhat friendly with me.

My projects…I have projects, can you believe it?

My journey through this process is relayed through my YouTube Video. Enjoy my teeth-gritting monologue while I wait for my ‘movie’ to fail to download again. Sigh.

I guess I shouldn’t be quite so much of a Debbie-downer; it was actually fun to shoot the footage and watch it come to life. I wanted to tell the story of Chad and I as we start to prepare for our journeys that lay ahead. Perhaps it was a bit ‘orchestrated‘, and a wee silly, but it still is a tale of our excitement of the new ‘hotel-ement’ (#camperlife, #hondaelement), and we are SUPER excited for our adventures to come. Canva helped me bring it to fruition, and I am super grateful for the chance to do it.

Canva WAS neat and tidy to use, and allowed complete rookies such as myself to create a video to tell my story. The great gifs, hokey music (LOVED) and easy to use transitions was fun for all. Delightful.
