This last month has been a major learning experience for me. Art with Errol,
Season 1 is coming to a close and I will finish the season with 22 episodes; taking
a few weeks off from the art side of my channel and continue with gaming. I
have not started any Vlogs as of yet, but it is in my plans to add to the
channel. The pressure is on to improve during season 2 based off my experiences
of developing season 1.
Video editing has been a practice. Learning the programs such
as iMovie and Motion to create my videos have been challenging. Creating pop
ups, picture in video, and my logo opening took a lot of effort to finely tune
the videos. Now, creating is a little easier as I can copy and paste with most
parts of any project. The videos that I am making are improving, but I would
like to elevate the skill level of editing for season 2, by adding better
thumbnails to make them look more appealing and adding a variety of new pop ups
in the videos. Also by tweaking the way I record my videos, this should take
them to the next level. There are many videos on YouTube that recommend these type
of changes, so I will give this a try.
Sharing via the many social media platforms, I feel will
always be challenging. Posting and reposting/retweeting is a task that I will
have to constantly stay on top of. Becoming better at sharing will help the
exposure of my channel Art with Errol. Social media
sites can be connected to each other, but I found that sharing on just one
platform connected to the others views differently, such as, sharing a picture
with an attached link on Instagram shared to twitter as well as Facebook
doesn’t fully translate across all platforms. The best way to go about this is
to go on each site individually and post for the best looking product on that
site.
As with anything, hard work will pave the way. Moving forward,
I will continue to strive to produce better product and share what I have
learned in my BLOG. Hopefully this is helpful and not me just rambling on. Feel free to share and check out my website Art with Errol.
