50: A dummy again

lol, I just ended my call with Nenye where i heard Fay’s voice at the background and i asked to speak to her, 30 seconds into exchanging pleasantries I didn’t know when i started to beg for help. fay fay comman help me o, i just started this YouTube thingy and i am suffering.

I know that shooting, finding perfect light compositions, making sure you look at the camera and all of that stuff, but no one ever said you also have to learn audio design.. that shit be very hard, like how do i even know the right keyword to use in finding non copyright sound. My guy, make i no lie for you, I’m suffering.

That’s how one day on my WhatsApp i was complaining about how editing is hard and one of my friend in his kindness shared me an editors number. In my head, what am i supposed to do with it? If i already start to pay someone to het stuff done for me this early as opposed to learning myself, i might as well just quit.

But hey, on the brighter side.. scratch that, there are no brighter side kan kan, you will just have to suffer through the learning curve of being a beginner again in something, a dummy.

I don’t mean to bore you with a lot of rant on what this having a YouTube channel journey is doing to me, but one thing its doing is making me feel stupid, and because black man no Dey gree, i don watch YouTube videos tire, i have also spent a lot of hours practicing.

And here is something i noticed…

I tried learning 3D design, rive, i tried also learning illustration, webflow. I quit all of them.

But i have been learning video editing and i have been going deep deep into the rabbit hole of it and for some reason I can’t see myself quitting. Maybe its because, for the first time in a few years, i am not trying to upscale but i am rather just following something I’m genuinely curious about without an underlying desire to make money from it.
