So I shot a video the other day for youtube for a really funny writer. It was a lot of fun, the only problem is the sound. She uses a home video camera, which is fine for the purposes of "just doing this for fun", but if we had good sound, it would feel pretty professional actually. Also, you never are supposed to "project" your voice on camera, because that comes across as "acting." So therefore my voice sounds soft since we had no microphones hooked up to me. Oh well. It was fun, and the important thing is that everytime I act on camera, I learn tons. And this was the first time I was able to watch myself on camera and not feel embarassed/cringe. So yay for that!
I highly recommend Michael Caine's book about film acting. It's an easy read, funny, charming and highly educational. Of course, it wouldn't have made sense to me prior to my training.
