Yesterday, this approach occurred to me. I'm examining my facial expressions and how I use them. Watching myself, I think my facial expressions are overactive in the wrong way in the first two takes. Maybe I'm afraid of being stoic. The irony is that I feel like it inhibits me. So I tried this. Didn't write anything, didn't plan it, just did it in one take. I had fun...and it sort of works.

And, yes, I know the story better. Need to work in the faggots, next time. I think I have an angle for it.

After reading the story through once. At least I didn't totally screw up the plot. Thought I shouldn't look like such a slob, so I put a jacket on. Did it help?

I rock back and forth on my feet. Also, my hand movements are not bad, except when I grab the fingers of my right hand with my left. Anyway, I still don't know how to tell the story.

My first take was also one of my first attempts to create a video. Screwed up the sound, and lost the whole thing. Since I practiced the story, it was sort of "take 1." But it never actually took, so it's out. And, besides, take 2 (take 1, here) didn't change anything. So here is my first attempt to tell the story:

One of my very first videos. I attempt to explain the problem of the story. I made an effort to be as fluid and lucid as possible, but the whole thing I find to be stilted and -- ugh. As you can see I have a lot to learn.
