I lost track of the days in My #The100DayProject. I've been participating in this Free Global Art Project that is winding down it's 5th year.
My goal was to create and publish one video each week in June. The videos would focus on increasing awareness about Alzheimer's Disease and promoting GlassEyesOnLine Christmas in July Event. I wanted to create videos that would be liked and shared because they were creative and interesting.
It's been an adventure with lots of ups and downs. Each week or two; I would get an e-mail from the Project to urge me forward and get me to reflect on the experience as I was creating.

I made 10 Youtube videos that were viewed a total of 265 times thus far. As I reflect back on the experience; I realize that creating is hard work and takes lots of practice. I had to learn many new skills and make time to create. I thought I would record a video and publish it. There is that middle piece called Editing. It is a long and involved process that takes double the time of recording and publishing. I used Camtasia Studio and learned how to use many of the features. When I view the videos I created; I see that I learned some new skills and the overall quality of my work is progressing.
If you followed my blog; you know that I took the Free Youtube Academy Course Create Great Content while working on this project. I learned a great deal about making good videos from creators that shared their knowledge and experience.
I relied heavily on my camera and a tripod. I think I would enjoy creating videos more if I was able to collaborate with others on the project that have some experience with lighting, recording, and editing. I also would prefer being behind the camera; rather than in front of it.

I've learned so many things about Alzheimer's Disease through my research for this project. I tried to creatively incorporate what I learned in to my videos; but the Alzheimer's Association has much better quality videos !
Realizing that was one of the low points for me in the project. I kept comparing my creations with what was out there on Youtube and other sites. I shared those links to videos and articles in my blog for anyone interested in learning more about Alzheimer's.
I'm glad I took the time to learn and share the information because I know how important our donations are and what the money is being used for: Research and Supportive Services.

My Project also included promoting The Christmas in July Event that starts July 5, 2018 at
GlassEyesOnLine. This is our first event and we are very excited about it. We have been planning since January and promoting the event through social marketing for the past couple of months.
A portion of the proceeds from sales at GlassEyesOnLine will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association.
A couple of the videos I created show some of the products that can be used in Holiday crafts, gifts, and decorating.
Make sure you stop into GlassEyesOnLine each week during July and pick up supplies you need for your holiday projects!
