So I gave the “Schumin Web Video Journal” (a name I came up with after I filmed this) a spin once again:
- Fixing the camera issues from the first time I did this
- The August Anon raid, protesting Scientology, including Scientology spokesmodel Sylvia Stanard’s gray roots
- Stainless steel water bottles
- Car woes – this time no heat
- Getting rid of Bank of America and finding another bank
- Getting rid of Comcast in favor of Verizon FIOS
This time, my production values have improved. The sound is not as loud. The focus is locked. I bumped down the resolution, since full HD is unnecessary for this kind of stuff. I also enhanced the recording environment a little bit, by turning on extra lights and turning off the fan behind me (that was audible in the first video). And I said something substantive this time around. My coworkers wrote me a note on my whiteboard about the last one:
So this time I actually talked about something. I do, however, have to remember to put the computer sound on mute, because people have this tendency to IM me in the middle of these things, and while I appreciate the messages, I don’t want to have the chime on the soundtrack.
So I hope you enjoy the video. Full report on the Scientology raid tomorrow or so.
