On Thursday I filmed two new DVDs for Interweave!

2-camera
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.

  • 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?

  • 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!
