Ok so I finally plucked up the courage (read: had a few glasses of last year's homemade elderflower champagne), plugged in the mic and managed to get 2 hours of video footage done. Now it wasn't perfect and I had a few hours messing about getting the sound of the glass hitting the table and such not to show but overall I'm fairly pleased with it. What's more important is that I actually enjoyed it and I don't cringe when I hear my voice anymore, since I listened to it for 2 or 3 hours last night during editing.
However, I really didn't expect it to take so long to encode and upload to YouTube. Really it's taking around 2 hours a video. 1 hour for encoding and about an hour to upload it all. Maybe just my shoddy internet connection to be honest but that's about 24 hours to sort out 8 videos, which isn't fantastic. Maybe now I can understand the thought processes behind releasing one video a day.
Anyhow, negativity cast aside like a well sucked lolly stick, I'm really pleased to have got over my mic-shyness. Just need to keep going I guess and hope that here and there some lost soul in the land of YouTube decides to come along for the journey.
