Yoga video!

[flexagon]

I'm not sure today could have been more perfect. This morning I woke up to a peaceful raininess. After getting the bug out the door to work, I showered and sorted through all my clothes, assembling a bag of stuff to take to the Goodwill. I took it there on the way to meet friends for lunch and bowling... oh I am a lousy bowler, the worst of all my friends, and I still think it's so much fun!

After that I came home and created all the audio tracks & final editing for the video of yoga headstands I've been trying to make for ages. Yes, I have finish-it-up-itis; all these projects I'm finishing now are things I started weeks ago, and I'm clearing my plate of them as much as possible before diving headlong into the new world of Zillian. But beyond that, I am so glad to have made this video, because now the next person who searches for information on these headstands will find something. And also, it was fun to make. Most shocking to me -- after the initial fit of nerves over pressing the "record" button, I had fun recording the voiceover. How did that happen? I hate my voice... don't I? I hate recording myself... don't I? But today I just found the whole thing fascinating. Listening to myself, listening to myself talk much faster than it sounds from inside my head, listening to myself being so very precise in some ways, and getting that croaky sound in other places. Deleting clips, retaking them. It wasn't bad. I hate perhaps one thing about my voice, but not everything, anymore. Go figure. :D

Watch on YouTube

As soon as this shows up nicely with a screen shot (which sometimes takes YouTube a while) I will be cross-posting this to yoga, so here's the obligatory apology for anyone on my flist who is also on yoga.

Aren't you the happy little thing. :) Love, love, LOVE the video. It's so zen, and I like the way you chose to narrate it, including the falls.

Thanks! I am the happy little thing.

And my driveway is totally not level, by the way. Let's just say I didn't include ALL the falls. :) I could've asked Mimi if I could tape myself in the studio, too, the nice flat studio, but I didn't think of it... and now I don't care, because I think seeing someone struggle to balance is kind of nice.

That turned out really well. Very professional looking.
