Blog About my Latest Video

Hey guys! So, since I endured a lot of struggle producing my latest video, I figured I blog it all out.
(Vitamins and Guinea Pigs? Just went live on my channel!)

Struggle #1: My speech issues.
I swear, I'm constantly tripping over my own words! Sometimes I say something before I'm supposed to, and I confuse myself. I then have to figure out what I said wrong, which makes an awkward pause in the middle of filming. And sure, a few times, it's funny and I'm like "Alright, those are going in the bloopers at the end!" But after filming the same clip 5 times, it's unbelievably frustrating.

Struggle #2: The girls would not sit still!
I get it, they're guinea pigs and they don't get out much. But, I turned my head for a moment, and Milkshake's chomping at one of my AUX cords! (I stopped her before she could hurt herself of course, but it's rather annoying.)

Struggle #3: Getting them out of their cage.
Mia is a rather shy pig. She doesn't like to be touched a lot, mostly only if I have treats or she's tired.
But sometimes, they both chose to be rebels. Sometimes I literally have to step into their cage to get them out, which is also very frustrating. I feel bad. It's apparent that they don't want to be bothered, but I still needed to do a video and their cage was too dirty to film the usual.

Struggle #4: Editing and uploading.
Don't get me wrong, I adore editing! It's fun making some boring clips more interesting. It's just, Final Cut Pro likes to lag sometimes. And that worries me, because the clips come out looking choppy with low frames. I panic, because it's like last minute editing (my fault, yes.) I need this video to work!! In the end, it comes out in the usual 720p HD it's supposed to, but still; nerve racking.

Struggle #5: Anxiety about publishing.
I really, really hate being told I did something wrong. No, I don't mean like someone telling me my title has a grammatical error. I mean, I fear that I have ever single aspect of the video wrong.
False information is NEVER okay in the pet community. In fact, it's like an enormity. I wouldn't want to click on a video and be told things that weren't right, would you? And I hate it. There's been times where I deleted the video because I was too afraid I had something wrong. It's pretty intense.

Struggle #6: The play back.
Most of the times, I play my videos back one last time after it's uploaded. It's like the last check, y'know? I'm pretty sure everyone has this struggle, but I hate listening to my own voice! It's horrid! Sometimes I question how I talk to everyday people and they don't get annoyed with me xD

But yeah, those are 6 struggles I had filming & editing my latest video. Thanks for reading my organized rant, and please if you want, check out the vid! :) -Cierra.
