I know there's all this talk about quick cuts, zoom-ins, etc, to keep viewers watching, but since this is a group Alexa has assembled of 40+ year olds (in my case, a quarter century beyond THAT!) I wonder if the older demographic is less likely to be turned off by a more leisurely approach. I saw Ron Howard on Conan O'Brian's podcast recently talking about the unhurried pace of the editing, directing and acting on the Andy Griffith Show. Since most of us were raised on *that* type of editing, what does everyone think about -- if not IGNORING -- at least TEMPERING the advice about keeping things moving moving moving in our videos, particularly in shorts, which sometimes feel like I'll have a seizure if they go any faster. Thoughts? As an aside: If you've watched many Andy Griffith shows -- or Bewitched, or Disney musicals -- you'll probably recognize my grandmother's cousin, character actress Reta Shaw. Yes, sad to say, there's a bit of a resemblance. lol!

Is this worth getting had it in the past and as well is the boost option worth it

Channel Makers is offering a 10 Day get better on camera challenge for $10. Starts 11/4 I suck being on camera so I signed up for it as I need all the help I can get. https://channelmakers.incomeschool.com/channel-makers/10-day-challenge/

I've been making short 5-7 minute test videos to get comfortable filming myself. So far I've made around 8 of these as trying to get good lighting, and to test out my audio. I was also a bit nervous using the light box with its giant light bulb!! 🤦 Being in my 60s, getting a good image is a big challenge. I know they say that nobody cares what you look like, but there is nothing more demoralising than looking like you haven't slept for a week! 😑 AND I've had to film using the lense at the back of my phone. If I look at the front display I'm looking slightly to the right which is really annoying. Will carry on every day. Sooooo glad I've done this because had I left it until I wanted the actual footage it would have wasted a good couple of weeks sorting all this out and got totally stressed out.
