Yesterday I realised that I hate making videos. I know how, can even do quite complicated, fiddly things. And I don’t mind the challenge of talking off the top of my head (quite like that, actually). I love talking with actual people.
But talking to camera on my own, then having to look again and again at my face as I watch replays, add captions, write text overlays etc is… ugh.
I don’t mean that I hate myself, as you might just possibly wonder, what with the book I just published.
I just don’t want to see myself talking. Millions of years of evolution have not prepared me for that. Nor do I want to get used to it.
Give me a live audience, and (depending on my task) I’m all yours. But video, to be seen by anybody anywhere at any time, wrenched out of context…? Nope.
I decided to stop the series of videos I was making.
I’ll transmit my ideas some other way.
