It’s taken months to get together, but it finally happened. I have submitted my first course to Udemy, now they just have to review it.
I found that when I submitted my test video I was quite nervous and had thoughts going through my head like ‘They won’t like it, you ummm too much, you can’t speak very proper’ things of that nature. This is a different nervousness. Which is hard to put into words, but I can feel my heart in my chest. A big thank you to James who really pushed this project to the next level. I was going to do a single angle with screen cast cut in shot and he just took it to the next level. Thanks heaps mate!
It feels like such a little project, yet so big at the same time. We have learnt a lot from it. For starters, for the next one I’ll be doing a solid day of practice before filming. I think I’ll also give myself some time to think about additional visuals that we can use in the footage.
Let’s see where this adventure goes. But going back to our questions from day 1.
What is this for?
This is a project to practice putting together an online course of original content. To learn and become more comfortable in front of the camera.
If this doesn’t ‘succeed’ will I still be glad I did it?
Define succeed: In an ideal world, I would like 1 sale a week. That would pay for my internet connection. 3 a week would be great. But at the moment it’s not about the money, as I have a job and it already pays the bills. Instead its about learning the craft of being in front of a camera and putting together content. To this, we have already succeed.
