I meant to write this earlier, but then the weather got so unbearably bad that I basically couldn’t think for about a week, and then I had to recover from that.
I had some long poetic post to write about it, but the quick of it is that my circumstances have changed since my last post and I’m able to get back to creating videos again. It’s in a limited capacity but it’s still a substantial improvement. I’m taking a lot of care to make sure I’m only working on things for it when I truly have the resources and energy to spare, and I’m also paying particular care not to force myself to create if I’m not in the space for it.
Honestly my health has been far more of an obstacle than I would like, namely that I have to pay close attention to when the fatigue might be too much to work around. But on the plus side I’m listening to those signals at least. Today was a really good example of this. I’ve been planning to do video recording some time yesterday or today, and both of those I ended up needing to put the recording on hold in order to rest. A combination of stress from the season/weather/existing job/responsibilities and just stress of [gestures broadly] means that my body just couldn’t get into the space I need for when I am making videos. So instead I spent a bit of time blocking out what/where I want to record, who the script involves, motivations, etc. It’s something that is really low impact on me, and generally doesn’t take long but makes a huge improvement on overall quality of production when I can finally get to it.
I also have another blog post planned coming up to talk about the nature of VR in it’s intersection with disability, but that’s going to depend really heavily on the upcoming weather among other things on whether it will be sooner or later that I write it up.
Also if you all want to check out the most recent videos I’ve recorded over the past two weeks you can see them here.
and
also if you want a sneak peak of what I’m planning for the next video when I can finally record it, you can check it out here.
