Sixty eight

When I am cycling or walking, I will get some ideas and plan to write on them. But I forget it later. So next time whenever I get an idea I should write and keep it. The weekend is getting over fast many things to finish. Tomorrow morning I should go for photography for sure. I also plan to go for a long cycle ride. I purposefully won't do it, or Youtube is stealing it? I have no clue. Getting inspired by reading great stuff is so easy but putting that to action is so difficult. I have to find ways to get rid of short term gratifications. Oh today, I am also supposed to learn some amount of Video editing. I have to finish that, I have set a target to myself- if I complete making the video, I will buy that software.

Yesterday was the first serious step towards learning Video making. The learning curve is steep. Just like photography. If someone thinks, he knows photography and could easily shift to making the video, it is not true. Things to learn are,

1. Gear- camera and lens
2. Voice- mike and voice recording devices 
3. Tripod or gimbal for stable footage
4. ND filters for bright light
5. Lighting 
6. Video formats, raw, bit rate etc
7. Software editing
8. Story and script 

I hope my list is comprehensive and long.

Today I am late to log. Passing the time with Youtube and review sites. Testing waters for learning cinematography. Starting with a gimbal. I am searching, do I need one? Since I have a camera with sensor stabilisation. I also downloaded the trial version of Corel video studio. Still, this is not an uncomfortable zone. I have to find really some awkward things to do. Cold water bath for a month, or a month without sugar, or complete fasting for 24 h or bare minimum budget month.
