December 22, 2021#97 2021 Review 📆
Last podcast of the year

Time to reflect and look forward to 2022

2021 still largely dominated by the Pandemic

Worked on my filmmaking this year

Made some gear investments along the way but also kept learning

Learning takes many forms

I have posted fairly regularly (videos) but am only now starting to refine my YouTube offering

Reworked the podcast - name change, still need to develop it more

I had a bit of a Pandemic wobble - I know I’m not alone

Probably spring/summer when I started to develop my videos more

Local History learning and usage in videos

I bought a drone - great fun so far

We had a short break in Sussex - gear came too!

I filmed a play in London

I did some more Theatre shoots

Joined the revolution by getting a PHEV

Great Cotswolds trip

Kenley - great people, more of the same in 2022

2022:

Carry on with the video development

Produce videos more frequently

Do as much outdoor as possible, whilst Pandemic is causing challenges

Formalise a pipeline for videos - planning discipline

Continue to do photographic jobs - if paid

Be prepared to pivot if positive opportunities come along

Have fun!
