Do you ever tell yourself you are going to do something and have every intention of doing it, but it takes forever to actually get it done? Oh, that is called procrastination?! Yes, I am queen of that! Procrastination is the perfect word to use when talking about adding video to my blog. I have wanted to add it to my site for years now, but I kept slacking when it came to actually doing it. Either I couldn’t find the right videographer or the right time. I even had numerous failed attempts at doing it myself, only to be left disappointed by the quality.
The other week I was at my computer and something came over me my intuition kicked in and told me to search the web for a camera man. I stumbled upon a site that let me e-mail the specifics of what I was looking to a database and the right guy would, “e-mail be back.” The right guy ended up being about 30 e-mails from all videographers in the area. After much back and forth, details, and pricing, I went with Adam from Lightscape Multimedia. He e-mailed me saying how excited he was to work on this project and how he had creative ideas he wanted to present for my fashion video. HE, had creative ideas! Wam, Bam! I was done. He was my guy. Isn’t it funny how sometimes it is always about timing? I feel the whole thing was serendipitous.
After several phone calls on creative aspects we finally got to filming on what would be an entertaining but long Sunday afternoon. I absolutely loved working with Adam and the Lightscape media team. They were so professional, very detail oriented, and made me feel at ease the entire day. Really a dream to work with. This is the first of what I plan will be a monthly series. We have some really exciting ideas up our sleeves so we hope you continue to check back.
For this first video we wanted to “introduce” me and my style. The future ones will be more style focused. That being said, I really hope you enjoy watching this one as much as we enjoyed making it. Please feel free to comment or e-mail me what you liked or would like to see in future videos.
Merci et amusez-vous
