I made a short video for my job this weekend. This marks the 22nd consecutive year in which I’ve created at least one filmlet.<\/p>\n
There are pluses and minuses to being asked to make a video for my employer. One plus, surprisingly, is the tight time frame. If you read this blog, then you may have noticed that, every once in a while, I’ll post a new video creation and I’ll say something like, “Yeah, I filmed this 10 months ago, but didn’t finish it until yesterday.” Or something even more extreme. So, I like that I had<\/em> to get it done this weekend.<\/p>\n The downside is having to run over to my computer whenever I had some free time so that I could complete it. I generally prefer to have less computer time on the weekends, so this past weekend was an unfortunate anomaly.<\/p>\n This morning, at a meeting,\u00a0I showed the video to my manager and a few co-workers. They made a few suggestions. I heartily agreed. Then I spent about a half hour tweaking the video, then showed it to another co-worker, who came over to my desk about ten minutes later with more suggestions. He actually had a list of five suggestions (I took three of his five). Then, at 3:00, I showed it to another co-worker, who had two more ideas.<\/p>\n I think the lesson learned is: never show my videos to anyone until I’m all done, then just say, “Here’s the finished product.”<\/p>\n I’d like to post the video online to share with you, my loyal reader(s), but\u00a0as it has proprietary information on it, I guess it can’t make it’s way onto the world wide web.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I made a short video for my job this weekend.
