It’s a damn fine day, to stop procrastinating…
In his legendary blog titled “how to make a living as a musician,” Danny Barnes posits, “be wary of someone that talks about gear a lot.”
Sure, music equipment is important; but the ability to play, show up on time, and following through is more important than having the perfect piece of gear.
I’ve been waiting to have the right gear, space, and time to record some simple music videos to Youtube. Yesterday, I decided to stop procrastinating, even if I don’t have great gear.
I only had an hour to get a video recorded, edited, and uploaded before Natalie’s doctor’s appointment. (PS: Baby’s doing great in trimester two, and mom is too!) My goal was to simply get something posted. Wade into the waters, rather than take the plunge.
So I posted a simple video. I used the simplest gear I have: Natalie’s iPhone 4s, a Zoom H4 audio recorder, and iMovie.
The first comment was that I did something incorrectly. (I know, the video is vertical.) I’ll get the video horizontal next time. And hopefully get better as I go.
For now, it’s a damn fine day to stop procrastinating.
