With my YouTube videos, I used to edit a lot of my own videos, so I've gotten used to seeing myself on camera.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I do videos, it's just myself.
In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.
It's very difficult to get any footage of yourself doing what you love unless you have a friend who's a photographer or videographer and wants to document you. That was really the idea and the goal from the beginning: to help people get a good photo, and then it was to help people get a good video.
I've always viewed myself as a behind-the-scenes person rather than in front of the camera.
When I watch myself on camera, in any capacity - being interviewed, performing, 20 years ago or yesterday - there's a part of me that really doesn't grasp that it's me.
I want people to get a better sense of who I am, whether they've seen every video or zero videos.
I play a role in front of the cameras, just like in the movies.
I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'
I think videos are really hard. I'm yet to be happy with a video. It's very weird watching yourself on camera, which I guess I'm going to have to get used to. I love the thought of being in them, but it's one thing to say that and another to actually do it.
I always feel kind of awkward when I look at pictures of myself. Watching videos of myself is really uncomfortable.
