After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit of a 2 minute video and actually posting it, I got fed up of my own procrastination/perfectionism/pissing-about and started posting one new video a day to YT Shorts on 11 August 2023 to get back into moviemaking.

It’s been transformational for me, having this work-in-public video sketchbook. Slowly moved from just uploading iPhone videos shot from the hip to mostly using DLog footage shot on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 colour corrected/graded with sound design in Final Cut Pro, and I’m looking to add a Sony FX-30 to the mix this summer.

As a whole I call it my “Dailies” project - the term of a course an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director is doing a good job.

It’s also pushed me into a daily writing practice and hoping to do more sophisticated work this year, so would love to have some more eyeballs for this and all that. :)
