What are your planning processes?

[Anouskaisobell]

You know those graphic organizers back in school? Yeah, those things. I use them a lot, to plan out videos. Especially key points I want to focus on.

I love that idea! Really different and creative and it clearly works for you

Is that it? No inbetween process or afterwards either?

Yep. I learned trying to plan out my stuff screws up my creative process.

I guess everyone has their own ways!

I usually set deadlines for myself. I should have an idea by a certain day, write and edit by another, and film and upload by Sunday. I start with a list of ideas and then write everything out because I would forget everything otherwise.Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay on one subject. If I have another idea while I'm filming, I just throw it in and hope for the best.

Wow! That sounds incredibly organised and orderly unlike me who just ends up as a chaotic mess by the time I sit down to edit!!
It sounds like you really put thought and care into your videos and I hope you love making them too! Goodluck

Ahh that sounds cool, i wish i could just do un-planned videos! How is it doing time-lapse videos? They sound incredible i'll definitely take a look

Time lapse videos can be cool or disappointing. The whole thing is that it takes a long time to do, so you can wait for hours to have a s****y video. I think I'm going to do a year long timelapse starting today of my palm tree growing because my damn dogs "trimmed" one of them down to almost no palms. Take a look at mine, I did some with my iPhone, some with a Pentax Optio WG1, and a couple with my GoPro. The iPhone app is $1 and works pretty good.

Yeah I can imagine! But it must be pretty rewarding when you capture a good time lapse! I've had a look and I really like some of them and I will definitely have to check out the iPhone app!

My favorite one I did on the iPhone is probably the Christmas tree decorating video. The app I used is called iMotion HD

I usually just think of an idea randomly, and then write it down along with the others. Then, when it's time to record a video, I just pick which ever idea/topic I'm liking more that day. My ideas usually get thought up when I'm in the shower, so I have to make sure I write them down as soon as I get out, or I might forget.
