Even if you get a great start, it&#8217;s still going to look terrible compared to what you can do later on. This is true, although, modesty aside, I think this is a pretty impressive achievement for a first-timer. I&#8217;ve made some changes in how I work since this video, however:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Wizard Of Oz was shot using my iPad 2 and edited using the iOS version of iMovie. At the time, the iPad was brand new and significantly faster than my aging desktop computer; I&#8217;ve since upgraded to a much faster Mac Mini with Final Cut Pro and tons of added RAM. I also now use an HD camcorder to film; however, the iPad is still part of the production, but now it exclusively handles the audio with a boom mic and <a href=\"http:\/\/bossjockstudio.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bossjock<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>This first video was scripted very precisely and with much rewriting: the eventual script was ten pages long, not counting the excerpts from the book itself! However, since then I&#8217;ve found that many peoples&#8217; favorite moments from my videos were improvised; now I just write out an outline of things I want to touch on for a long video, and for a short video I may even fly blind and improvise the whole thing.<\/li>\n<li>This video is <strong>forty-five minutes long<\/strong>. What was I thinking?? I try to keep long-format videos under twenty minutes these days, unless it&#8217;s something very special that I need a lot of time for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; They say you need to be prepared when you make your first video, because no matter what, it&#8217;s going to suck.
