Season of Solitude - Video Journal #1

Yep. I have now entered the realm of Youtube. Hello.
I've been dreaming of storytelling through film work for YEARS, and this crazy year of the pandemic has uniquely granted me the time and motivation needed to collect these clips around home and start playing with them in Premiere Pro... and holy guacamole, video editing is a whole new learning curve, wow. After getting over the initial hurdle of simply STARTING (which surprisingly is easy when I actually sit down and watch video editing tutorials instead of pulling my hair out trying to teach myself, hehe), I gotta say I absolutely LOVED making this and I'm feeling super excited to be channeling my creativity into something fresh - I have so many ideas for future videos now! This first video ain't perfect, but the process of making it was so special to me as it gave me something to focus on and kept me feeling grateful throughout some difficult months this year. It feels so wonderful to be working with my ideas and love for nature in a new medium.

A special thank you to my community of backers on my Patreon page - when I started it a few months ago, it was with hopes of slowly gaining the little extra support I needed to be able to dedicate more time to creating videos along with my photos - and now it's finally starting to happen! I'm soooo happy pouring my heart into this, and each little bit of support means the world. Thank you!
