There are so many things I want to work on in the future. I want to make more *art*. Be braver and bolder. Less technical. Use the "slow" feature to bring out specific clips in the songs (instead of just using it so that the clip fits a specific part of the song), using different effects, stuff like that. Keeping a color theme or a camera theme *on purpose*, instead of unintentionally. The thing is, I’m too afraid of making a mistake, of people not liking something I made (and my very rational mind is now reminding me that this has probably already happened, but still).
Yes, I want to make art, too, and it *is* art. Sometimes it's crayons; sometimes it's graphite; sometimes it's oils. But you won't be painting in oil until you learn how to draw in crayon. If you get my drift. The way I tackled this same desire, including the fear of publicly screwing up (which, of course, I do on a regular basis), was to make *one* vid that used all sorts of effects and transitions and weirdness. It served two purposes--to teach me to be comfortable with the transitions/effects palette, and to be okay with a failure, so to speak.
So, I'm thinking out loud in the comments section of your LJ. :)
