On Thursday I filmed two new DVDs for Interweave!
We filmed in my Mom's kitchen. There were three cameras and lots of fancy lights. Definitely puts my little home made videos to shame.
It's always a lot of work to put the videos together — really, the packing of supplies is nightmarish.
But the crew and the overall experience always make it so worthwhile!
I was very grateful for the "Look Here" sign.
Without it, I'm pretty sure I would have messed up and looked into the wrong camera.
I have to confess that even after years of making videos and hosting a TV show, I still get a bit of performance anxiety. I had a lot of trouble sleeping the night before the shoot. I was consumed with worry and feelings of being utterly unprepared. Luckily, I was prepared and things went very smoothly. :)
Many thanks to Interweave for the opportunity to share my love of all things art! The DVDs won't be available for a few months, but I'll be sure to post all about them. In the meantime, you can check out my three previous DVDs here.
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Please take a moment and check out my interview on the Mixed Media May blog. For the entire month of May a different mixed media artist is highlighted! Lots of inspiration to be found.

You are a S-T-A-R and still talk with each artist with respect and kindness. I like that about you Julie.

Can’t wait for the DVDs – wish you had recorded in Colorado, but I can see Mom’s kitchen would be less travel time…

Awesome! I was trying to make out the subject of the DVD’s, but will wait for you to reveal–so much mixed media awesomeness going on! Did filming in such a familiar environment help with the jitters?

What a beautiful kitchen your mom has. I love that you did a video there, feels warm and cozy. Don’t worry about being in front of a camera Julie, you are a natural. Think we could all watch/listen to you teach all day.
Thanks for the link, will go check it out!

No doubt you were fabulous! You always seem so poised behind the camera! I love the idea of filming in your mom’s kitchen. How ever did that come up? It will be a nice change of pace from the usual interweave set — not that there is anything wrong with that! Can’t wait for the new videos to show and for the record, your home made videos are just fine too!
