I thought more about this video in a "when is my window of time to shoot it" frame of mind rather than a "what do I want to say." At work, I share an office and there are always people in and out, and at home, my "office" is a portion of the kitchen table. And with children ages 1 and 4 who are not always interested in quietly entertaining themselves, I thought I should shoot to shoot during nap time.
Once that time rolled around, I thought, "Okay - just do it like a Band-Aid. One motion, right off!"
After watching the video, I thought that I could have shared more interesting details - like the name of the artist who does the Nature Matching System (Tattfoo) or what some of the different colors represented (the first row is tomato, banana, broccoli, apple, and olive - all things I currently have in my kitchen - I could have actually matched them to the grid) or that we got our toaster from my friend who now lives in Buxtehude, Germany. Not that there's anything interesting or telling about a toaster, per se, but it is funny to hear the word "Buxtehude."
I also didn't realize that I have an "extended blink" thing going on at times. What is that? I knew that I was going to have a lot of "ummmms" - I worked as a phone clerk for a catalog order house for about 3 months, and my supervisor would hand me progress reports that showed how times I had used a "non word" during a call.
I wish that I had done a little more with the "time and mental energy and tools" part of the assignment and a little less with the "don't spend too long on it."
