Looks like I missed the NaVlo Calender Boat. Ah well. The popcorn's gorgeous and I'll have a good seat near the screen throughout November so I'm not really complaining. I remember shooting one video a day for NaVloPoMo in November 2007 and it nearly killed me (especially considering I hadn't a clue what I was doing) but was also early videoblogging days for me and therefore tremendously engaging and breathtakingly exciting (it still is, by the way). The whole experience taught me a lot not only about the magical wonder of videblogging and creative expression but also about what beautiful things people are capable of when given a particular creative brief. As dear Orson once said: "The absence of limitations is the enemy of art." So maybe the one minute/90 second brief could prove beneficial to most. Less intimidating. But then again in the end the limitations imposed on Orson Welles probably cost him his career and almost his sanity and for sure damaged some of his movies. Even so, I think I get his point. And so...to all those signed up for the great NaVloPoMo expression all there is left to say is: charge up your batteries, switch on your computers, feed your pets and have fun!
