Kevin Beal Posted February 25, 2015 Share 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.

shirgall Posted February 25, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to worry about that with a script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGP Posted February 26, 2015 Share 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.

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 27, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are less preparation too, which I like. I'm glad you are found it interesting. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
