Since March 2020 I have done monthly vlogs to better understand what it means to use Final Cut Pro. Although I haven’t even scratched the surface as far as what the program is capable of, I think I was able to hone in on what it means to curate content, edit it down, add some fun shot ideas and maintain a through line with each episode.

This is the last episode in that personal challenge to myself.

Not sure exactly what my next personal media project will be, but I have a few ideas up my sleeve.

Stay tuned!

A summary of November in a vlog…

Started using monthly vlogs as a practice of learning Final Cut Pro.

Baby steps.

A snippet of our October.

Working

And the moments in-between.

A little summary on September.

A bit on July.

A bit of a vlog on the month of June.

May didn’t allow for much creativity and exploration in using the camera or documenting.

That being said, for the sake of the 1 year monthly project, May is here.
Albeit a bit late.

April began sweetly and it was a simple little reminder of how, as a family of three, we can, and do sustain each other. Each of us has our own creative endeavours and work. Those things keep us fulfilled while the in-between moments are for holding, sharing, eating together and finding solace in the quiet.

Yet,

We are not going through an easy time.

We are grappling with more than we had anticipated for this year.

It’s a journey.

As all of life is.

Here is April,

how I felt it in little snippets….

For personal and professional growth with tools, I challenged myself to put together a vlog with a combination of videos from my ‘insta’ stories and newly attained Sony A77.

Although I have been around these tools for the past few years, I have not attempted to learn them or use them myself, outside of collaborations.
Past youtube videos have always been edited by my tech-loving husband.

This time… it’s all me.

(except, I admit… he did help me with the sound levels before I uploaded…)

I hope you enjoy my first crack at it.
