Camera shyness

Wednesday, May 18th 2022

I have got a very new experience today. I was working on recording a video about our work, which I have never done before. One of the requirements was talking spontaneously, which was easy until the camera turned off.

But the moment the camera starts recording, everything disappears. It was not possible to say anything meaningful. My hands started shaking and sweat appeared on all my skin. Quite an interesting experience. I even thought it was impossible to do after a few attempts. But thanks to the team, we continued to repeat and, with small adjustments and a little improvement, we made a final cut.

Camera shyness is real, but consistency and persistence beat the fears as well.
