Hey, guys. Just having an instant desire to share my experiences throughout the video production since it has just released the last episode. A sincere sharing from the deepest of my heart~
Hmm, where should I start? Haha, ok la, start from my notebook.
I was using HP notebook for almost four years in which its spec is suitable for simple editing. However,when it comes to video editing, omg, it feels like crap when you need to wait for almost ten minutes to render 9 seconds video. It's time to change a new one! I talk within my mind, but is there a need to or it's just an extrinsic desire derived from my greediness? Haha... I was asking myself, is it really a need to buy a notebook to edit video, for passion? Or, I just hope to get a new laptop for myself unconsciously. This is also the time when my mind comes, it's time to produce a video about our memory (MV) and Sandakan food!!!!!
After lengthful consideration, I decided to have a new laptop with my salary. Dang tang, Lenovo!!!!!! Okay, let's go home and start producing a video series about our secondary memory as well as Sandakan food! Even though I always question myself, whether I have enough preservation to finish what I foresee at the first place.
Let's do this! No regret in future! lol
Guess what?! Finally, we did it, as the whole awesome production team and the final episode was released. lol.
Okay, I know I was talking nonsense, erm, share with you all what I learned throughout the production of MV as well as BACK2SDK.
Is it worth to do this? No profit, waste time and no appreciation from others?!
I would say "yes" to myself, because I had a memorable past times which is worth for me to use a segment of my lifetimes to rebuild its originality, to polish and make it fresh still with technology. However, I was in dilemma as well, because when you have a new thought, you will feel alone at the first place because you need to walk a new path, it may sound serious, indeed it is quite true related with your insight feeling.
Let's do this and make it true! Let no regret in the past, this is a present, a gift for my future. I always persuade myself, this might not worth to me at this moment, but it might be valuable for me when I finished my university. I believe that video is a form of memory, which freezes the moments lively, and I believe that memory decayed when we go through our life. We will slowly forget the past, we might deny it, but it is true in some ways, biologically. All in all, believe what you believe and insist what you believe! Be who you are and don't pretend someone who you aren't.
Be passionate about what you like to do, and keep doing it! It might not get you any extrinsic motivations or profit, but it directs you to a more self-actualization road, the way you express yourself fully, without limitation~
Besides, I question myself will the video receive bad comments? ridiculous or insulting one? Yes, possibly. Why am I asking myself? Honestly, I discovered that I am always afraid of being commented on my mistake and failure. It feels uncomfortable when you know you did something wrong or what you have done is a failure as a whole. However, an educationalists inspired me a new perspective towards mistake. Glancing over the education system in Malaysia, we were trained to not commit any mistake. You will only receive praise and good feedback, this mechanism will slowly reinforce your "right" behaviour but confine yourself in a small maze. Frankly to say, you will slowly lose your creativity and courage to create a new thing. Hence, I think it's time to do something new which you think is valuable for yourself and ignore others' bullshit!
On the other hand, democratic culture is becoming common and common, in politic or either on social platform. I always ask myself, what is democracy? Simple to say, everyone has the right to comment and talk. This is true, and I think it's time to challenge my mindset, which is long enough to lock myself inside the "doing right thing" path. Hence, I decided to post the videos online and face the criticisms. Argument is good, when it exists under democratic culture, it comes like this, you can comment and I can comment, I can argue and challenge your stand, so do you. BUT AT THE END, I WON'T STOP YOU TALKING but I will challenge your stand with my thoughts.
Last but not least, to make something happens, you need support from your friends, and I am here to give a big THANK YOU to everyone to make something happens in my life and we have finally done it. No matter it is good or bad, let's perceive this as a gift for our future, a moment that we can reflect back to the past, the fighting spirit which we will feel proud in one day. Keep this spirit, keep this burning flame and live for a better life for yourself and others!
Best regards,
Gary
