But I did it, and I’ll be so pleased to hear your comments good OR bad

Hi Sean,
First of all I want to say congratulations to you for stepping out of your comfort zone to complete your first video. Now you have done it, all the future ones will seem a lot easier.
Secondly, you said you were very nervous, maybe you were, but it really doesn’t show. You look very composed and didn’t hurry your words and delivered your message very well. I think you’ve done an amazing job Sean…I think you’ve just started your video marketing success story.
Well done Sean!
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Sean,
Very nice job, I’d have never figured this was your first time in front of the camera if you hadn’t mentioned it.

Hi Sean,
Great job with the video! I am still procrastinating on doing my welcome video but I am sure I will get around to it one of these months.
I look forward to catching up with you soon.

Thanks Guys for your comments, appreciated.
I will admit there were two attempts previous to this one, with much swearing, stuttering and TBH I nearly gave up. But I gave it one last shot, and this is how it came out.
You may have noticed too I work in a cupboard which I have converted into an office!
@Paul I appreciate the feedback, I’m pleased I came across well, I didn’t want to come across false in anyway, but more for people to relate to me, because that is who I genuinely am!
I do see this as the future of Internet Marketing. You’re right getting the first one out of the way, I am keen to do the next one already. I watched your list building video and was equally impressed Paul.
@Mick I have had a great week this week with the family, but now they have bled me dry! Appreciate the compliments Mick, I had impressions of me coming across like Forest Gump!
@Rod Appreciate the comments Rod…..as above, there were two previous attempts! In my Day Job, I am a Regional Sales Manager and speak to business people everyday, but this was totally different and I nearly quit on the idea.
@David Thanks David, appreciate the comment…..I know how you feel about putting it off, but I just went out, bought a pocket camcorder (under £90), but once you have done it and you get feedback like this, you just want to do the next one, it feels good David, I know you can do it.

Hey Sean,
Great video,doesn’t look like your first time in front of the lens and only TWO previous attemps, I did about twenty until I did mine, was still not happy with it but thought what the hell, then youtube cut out about a minute of it. It was there when I previewed it but uploaded it and it had cut it.
Be in touch soon,
James

G’day Sean,
Well done on the video, you come across very natural & honest.
Like yourself I am wanting to step out of my comfort zone and create a video, but keep putting it off because I think it should be professional.
You have inspired me to pull my finger out & get in front of the camera.
Great Job.

@josh Great to have your feedback, you are setting the bar with video, and that is what inspired me to get this done, def speak soon!
@Brad I was concerned with the lighting TBH, with my converted office cupboard
I had to use the moviemaker program within the Kodak program, still trying to work out Camtasia!

HI Ron,
Thanks for the comment and dropping by
I bought a Kodak Zi6 HD which was on offer, as they have brought out a new one.
I would have got the Flip mino HD, but a little out of budget for now.
Talk again soon!
