Kevin Beal Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It's going to take a while to fully upload and process the video, but it's also really late, so people will most likely wake up to it. It's a pretty personal video I made right after some events that happened today. I took the opposite approach with this video as my previous videos, in that I went completely off script and made it personal rather than abstract. Any feedback at all is welcome: 7
shirgall Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I like the stream of consciousness thing, actually, it worked out well. When I present I hate having a script, I prefer to only have an outline.

Three Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Okay, that's good to know. Were the "um..."'s and other verbal ticks okay? I don't have to worry about that with a script If I may answer the question too, I was so engaged by and focused on the topic that I didn't notice any verbal ticks. 1

Kevin Beal Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 I am curious as to your breathing and chest during the video? I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you rephrase it?
PGP Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you rephrase it? It seemed to me that your breathing was shallow and I wanted to see if I was correct in this or even if I was correct, whether it is of any significance.
Kevin Beal Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 It seemed to me that your breathing was shallow and I wanted to see if I was correct in this or even if I was correct, whether it is of any significance. Oh yea. When I'm intensely focused on something, I forget to breathe. That includes breathing out, so every once in a while I have all this CO2 to exhale that was stored up. People have commented on it before mistaking this for me sighing. It's just me being a laser, I don't have any respiratory diseases or anything.
Omegahero09 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Oh man Kevin, I wish you wouldn't downplay and belittle the systems you've set up for your journey through self-knowledge. How to grade self knowledge tools: Does it work? If answer is "yes" then it works and that's it lol Great video though, I liked that it had vlog and instructional elements in it, keep innovating!

Hey thanks! And that's an interesting thought about the downplaying. I have to give that some more thought.
Matt D Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Kevin, I liked this more than some of your previous videos. In my opinion going off-script was a good idea. You have a mellow tone when you talk but I don't think it's boring at all. I would flip to another tab when I watched it but stayed focused on what you were saying the whole time. I've been asking my mecosystem 'What do we want to do?' but I like your approach of opening the floor to what others want to say and then spatially locating the thought. You're like a chameleon shooting its tongue to catch an insect.

They are less preparation too, which I like. I'm glad you are found it interesting. Thanks for the feedback!
