The start - a happy accident 

• The start of making shit videos until I make good videos
• The simple joy of taking care of my favourite knitwear
• the satisfaction of it being as good as new

From happy accidents to handmade habits — making shitty videos, caring for favourite knits, and loving the simple joy of keeping what I love as good as new.

This video Idea started I would say, organically - sorry if this is a bit all over the place as it is literally a braindump - I wanted to make a video on "meaning in a cup" the story I shared in your other class storytelling. I couldn't help but feel so much pressure on the story and the filming being "perfect". So what happened is I procrastinated to start... and this video came about because I wanted to practice filming. I had so, so much fun filming and editing it. It is not perfect, and that is exactly what it is about. I have learned a lot about the program(s) and my work process. although the video is shit, it hold so much value pass the quality of it.

CAPTION: What is it all about - do not overthink, just get it out there! 

a start of a challenge to learn something new without the obstacle of self-doubt. even when this arises, don’t ignore the feeling but embrace it, whisper gently thank you to it and do the thing anyways 

The videos might be bad. The angles, awkward. The lighting, off.

 

Bad Vids. Good Knits. script 

 

You know that feeling when you start something new… 

and your brain goes, 

 

“Who do you think you are?”

 

This is the start of a little challenge: to learn something new without letting self‑doubt run the show.

 

When it pops up, don’t shove it away. 

Notice it. 

Embrace it. 

Whisper gently, 

“Thank you for trying to protect me.” 

And then… do the thing anyway.

 

So here I am, learning a new skill: filming myself and editing this very video.

 

The videos might be bad. 

The angles, awkward. 

The lighting, off.

 

But the care? 

Like how I care about my knits. 

The courage to show up anyway? 

That’s the good part.

 

So Let’s begin.

 

Did not ended up doing a voice over as it felt overwhelming and not fitting at all - I think that is more a me thing than the fitting part.  I have to get practicing with tone of voice to make it more engaging.
