There’s a very easy way for anyone to learn to make videos. Just pick up a damn camera and start!
That’s essentially what I did when I started making my own original videos for the Vimeo Weekend Challenge.
Beginners Guide on How to Make a Video
Learning how to make a video started for me with non-copyrighted footage. I hadn’t even reached the point where I had the guts nerve confidence to simply point and shoot a simple video on my iPhone.
As a writer trying to learn about video, I started off slow. Among other things, I used the intro to an old TV series and added (what I hoped were) funny captions to it.
Part Two of the Creative Sprint 30-Day Challenge
Doing a 30-day challenge can feel like a marathon. However, there’s a real benefit to performing an act on a regular basis within an allotted time.
The Creative Sprint challenges I’ve participated in have made me realize my own potential to take on new creative pursuits.
Part One of the Creative Sprint 30-Day Art Challenge
When I first heard about the Creative Sprint 30-Day Art Challenge, I figured I’d be no good at it at all. I used to draw when I was younger, but now I’m a writer. I figured anything I created would be really crappy and not worth the effort.
Then, I realized that was the point of the exercise. It’s all about realizing your own creativity—the kind that’s hidden away. The 30-Day Creative Sprint is all about realizing you can be creative in ways you never imagined.
