0:00A: I guess some immediate reflections on this songwriting camp. I think it would have been -- I kind of went in not knowing what it was, just being like, oh, it’s a networking thing. And then all of a sudden they wanted us to start shooting videos, and I’m like, well, I can shoot videos on this DJI, I have it, but I don’t necessarily know what this is. And I wish on the first day I’d asked the guy Danny, organizer at Blunts, to kind of Let me interview them to kind of get a picture of like, what is this thing and how do I best create content around it, or even interview the media guy.
0:00A: But I think not doing that, I kind of was trying to figure out the big picture the whole time, which was just like a super inefficient way to shoot that content. So I ended up with like confusing profiles of these artists and I learned about them, but like you’re watching me learn about them like with distinctly not enough context. Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that. Like, you know, I figured it out and I didn’t get paid. It’s like nobody’s mad. But I think that’s definitely what I would do moving forward is like, you know, who do I go to to get the big picture of where I’m at and what’s going on?
0:00A: And then from there, right, what are the kinds of questions and who do I ask them to? So I feel like that’s just kind of a new thing to be able to intuitively intuit and know I should prioritize with that I learned. So I’m excited about that. I’m excited to keep doing more open format, open-ended things and just keep documenting it, archiving it, posting this shit on YouTube. And I hope you appreciate the content. Peace.
