## Logs
### 2025-04-26
- Ended up bringing over my old scripts to here for reference/AI usage
- Mostly thought about rethinking my script and video style to be less information focused and moreso conversational/experience focused, similar to pinguefy
- Looked to pinguefy as an answer, felt much more natural imo, and i realized that in my obsidian video i had that kind of personalized tone. not sure how it left.
- what is the point of not posting on my main channel?
- why did pinguefy start on his second channel as well? are we all just victims of wanting to preserve intrinsic creation and expression?
- [[Scriptwriting is boring because i'm focusing on the information over the engagement]]
### 2025-04-21
- Started working on it again, but having a road block because I'm unsure on how I want to present this
- I think
### 2025-03-09
Started prep work for the Ali Abdaal video as the focus for today. I want to work on one thing I'm most compelled to do. The goal is to set up a system with Eagle and send it to Dan to improve the process a bit. I'm wondering if Eagle is necessary since I'll be linking the clips anyway. It could be helpful for tagging and organizing items in multiple folders. Dan could reuse b-rolls for other videos, reducing the need to create new b-roll for every video. Multiple tags can make it easier to search through. I hope he has enough space. I'm going to offer him DaVinci Pro and get it from Simon.
### 2025-02-16
Yeah, so I spent more time than expected on the Google Sheets Year at a Glance review. I had to learn how to use the linear calendar in Miro, and I'm a bit rusty with script writing. I think it's a good exercise, though. It brings me back to my previous reflective experimental videos, which I'm very appreciative of. I just hope I have enough time to work on everything else upcoming.
