Did I say that this is going to keep me busy?

Since I now have a ring light and tripod for our camcorder, I’ve been in the process of setting those up in my room trying to find the best possible places for them… and I think I’ve actually found a decent place for my ring light. It was a bit awkward at first, but I finally found a good place for it on my desk. The fun thing is going to be setting the tripod up. That’s going to involve some work, and I’m going to be busy for awhile setting that up and then finding a good shot to record, because I’ll have to keep looking at the camera’s view, move the tripod, look at the camera’s view, move the tripod… yeah, this is going to be fun until I get the shot.

I did set the controls for the ring light up right next to my laptop, though. And I do want the ring light on my desk, and everything set up “in front of” my desk, because that will most optimally work for me. I can quickly edit everything this way too. Just take the camera off of the tripod, hook it up to the computer via the cord…

The most busy part about everything will be setting up the tripod and getting the initial, most workable shot.

And probably making sure that Bub doesn’t actually touch anything, but I’m also going to be getting a lock that will allow me to lock my bedroom door from the outside so that he can not get into my bedroom while I am elsewhere in the house and not in or near my room. This way, I won’t actually have to babysit my room…
