A little Free Video Training for Friday Happy Fun Time

Friday, 9:03 AM Pacific Time I’ve been experimenting, see… After having a personal crisis of confidence, I decided face my inner demons.  They mostly look like this: 88393(That is possibly the BEST Arnold Line EVER) So, I fired up the ole’ Adobe Creative Suite (Simply because the name “Creative Suite”  has exciting ramifications) and proceeded to inquire after my previously well-heeled Video Skills.  It’s been 4 months since I made any sorta fancy video and there is a disctinct possiblity that I left what small shred of talent that I had dying on the doorstep of self-actualization.

Good LORD, remind me to NEVER have a Venti (I think that means “Ridiculously Humongous”) Carmel-Macchiato-Fancy-Coffee-Thing from Starbucks before I scribble off a blog post.

Anyway, I made some Video for you. Yep.  Lots of Video.  Fun Video. Thought Provoking Video.  Actionable Video. Videos with Clever Names.  And if you act now, you can have allof my secrets.

DAMN IT!  I wonder if a couple of Corona’s would counter-act this caffeine buzz? It’s Noon somewhere… BRB.

Friday, 9:32 AM Pacific Time. The cat is giving me a disapproving look. Still thirsty. There’s like 3 beers left from that six-pack… BRB. Friday, 9: 44 AM Pacific Time. Did you hear that Hugh Heffffffner is getting a divorce? Well, there goes his conservative Catholic Fan Base. 1 Beer left… The keys on my keyboard feel squishy. Friday, 9:48 AM Pacific Time. HEY!  I just got an emailz that said I won the FRICKING LOTTERY!  Maybe that’s the email subject line to use from now on. “[Firstname], You WON!” Worked on me. Worth a split test. Friday 9:55 AM Pacific Time You look pretty today. (Wink) Frydai somtyme.  mornin-ish. ClIcK hEre fO fRee viDeoooos.  i dAre yoU.

Pretty! Pretty Video Stuff! Click It, yo.

    I thought I was the only to try that with caffeine and alcohol. I worked in a gallery once, so we were always drinking wine. If I had a little too much, I’d drink Jolt cola. Then, an hour later, I’d start shaking and decide to have a sip of wine. Eventually I got it done to some sick version of science.

    That I had to special order the Jolt by the case (no one had it in Cincinnati at the time) probably should have clued me in that I was being… a tick extreme.

    Loving the music and the new yellow/black theme! Very kewl! I’ve just done a couple of ppt vids using some stuff from animation factory and I was kinda pleased with it til I just saw yours – mine look crap now!

    Anyhoo – looking forward to seeing watcha got next, in the meantime I’m off to crack open a beer, slap on the coffee machine and do a spot of ppt tweakage! (it’s 12.20am here in the UK, so perhaps the caffeine first…)

    Andy,

    Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing as you are doing fine. Hmmm, three doings in one sentence? Better finish my morning caffeine fix, even if it is getting towards lunchtime. I slept in, but hey, it’s Saturday.

    I am referencing this line below:

    “Good LORD, remind me to NEVER have a Venti (I think that means “Ridiculously Humongous”) Carmel-Macchiato-Fancy-Coffee-Thing from Starbucks before I scribble off a blog post.”

    Andy Andy Andy, since you are directly responsible, and I mean directly, responsible for unemploying me from Starbucks as a barista, I just have to have to correct your spelling! I am sure it was a typo BUT what you order at Starbucks it goes like this: s a To order a “Caramel Machiato”. Now if it was VENTI then the size comes first, a “Venti Caramel Machiato” if it’s NON FAT, then it’s a VENTI NON-FAT CARAMEL MACHIATO, now if you had an extra shot added to your VENTI then it would be a TRIPLE VENTI NON-FAT CARAMEL MACHIATO…. there is a sequence.

    Since I’ve had to swallow my pride, listen to you and ignore my own “know-best” attitudes (I’m french), but then make pretty decent money over the last two years listening to YOU about SEO and marketing on the web, and since you forced me to quit my job at Starbucks because I couldn’t afford to work there anymore (making too much money SEOing), then I figured I’d return the favor and have you get even more success with a, uhm, ordering coffee at Starbucks!

    Small price to pay for me anyway!!

    Thanks for all your help and “Caramel” is the word you mispelled! Since you aim for perfection and damn near attain it, I thought I’d let you know.

    Andy,

    How to pause a video (with Camtasia Studio) when you’re recording it?

    I’m struggling with very 1st video.
    I kept it simple: made a pdf and spend the vid reading the text.

    After the vid is finished, I’ll try to edit it aliitle bit.

    Thanks in advance.
