Phew! What a lovely and different day!
I started out the day by attending a webinar on Pain and Movement. Fascinating! 

Then i headed over to the Lewis Centre and recorded another Gentle Yoga session.
I added, as per request, some "leg in the strap" and "chest openers" to this one. 
The learning curve continues. The camera that was recording me stopped after 33 minutes. And of course, i didn't know. So i had to re-record the last 10-15 minutes over. But, i am getting better at this! It is much easier to start and stop and start again.
I am grateful for all this learning.
 
My brain is delightfully tired so i am going to chill for the rest of the day.

Well, that was unexpected and delightful!
Good news:

1. My cel phone video tests were very enlightening! I am not sure why i didn't consider doing this before... i guess i was just overwhelmed with info and "considering obvious options" was not available for my brain. My tests revealed that if i reduce the recording quality of the "front camera" (vs. selfie) to the middle option (not the best but not the poorest), i can double my recording time without losing too much visual clarity. Hooray! This will buy me some time. Now i can continue to record pretty good quality videos while i carefully research a Camcorder and an Editing Program. Phew!
2. I had a couple hours of "empty house" dropped into my lap today so i too advantage of it. I deleted the Restorative practice that requires an editing program to complete and started over. I re-recorded, watched/cued and edited all in one day! Hooray! So head over to the "expand" page to take a look, and maybe give it a try too!
   

Happy Wednesday!
:)

Today:

• Filming test session in progress: As i mentioned yesterday, i would like to really understand the video capabilities on my phone. So today i have been playing with the possibilities of recording on my phone. My goal is to find a longer record time without losing too much quality in video. On my list are the 3 different size (qualities) of videos. And i am curious if the quality is different if recorded straight onto my phone vs. onto the memory card. I am on round 2 of testing. i will let you know what the verdict is. 
• Video planning in progress: I will be going in to the Lewis Centre again this week to record another Gentle Yoga session. So i watched the first one i recorded (and made notes) because that was over 2 months ago and i have forgotten what was on it. And now, i am planning the second session. 
• Did a little more research into camcorders and cameras today. I learned that although 4K is all the rage, i will avoid it. It sounds like editing it is challenging as it takes up a lot of space on the computer - and i do not think our computer is new enough to handle it. So that is a relief in some ways, as i can cross a lot of cameras off my list. 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Happy June everyone!
I am still in research mode. Today was learning all about DSLR vs Camcorders. 4K vs. HD. And a couple other heady subjects.
I thought i found a suitable camera but then when i went to buy it, no one, not even the manufacturer has them in stock. So i went back to square one. I have found a few more to investigate but my brain's capacity to research seems to be 3 hours. So i will return to it tomorrow. 

Also, the Play with Balance video i recorded at Courtenay Rec 10 days ago is supposedly out, but i have not had a chance to look for it and therefore watch it. So if you are search savy, go find it!

And... I will (hopefully) go in to Courtenay Rec again later this week to record another video!

I have not yet had a chance to research an editing program for glueing those 2 Restorative practice bits together. It is on my list! Maybe I need to hire an assistant! Ha ha! 

And i have a filming test session planned: i would like to really understand the video capabilities on my phone. Specifically, how long can i record before it cuts off? And is this consistent? This should be a fairly easy experiment as all i need to do is set the format, (& make note of the format), press record on my phone and walk away. Then go back every once in a while and check on progress.
I have been inspired bu all the camcorder review videos i have been watching.
