So I just made a short tribute type video to post on youtube about a forum I used to go to that got shut down (Nsider, if you're wondering) It was just to reach out to the friends I have lost contact with, to see if I could find any. Well...It was my first ever video being made to post on youtube, and I know I looked and sounded really nervous doing it D: I'm scared I'll be made fun of.

Have you guys ever tried making a video to post on a website, and were afraid while making it?

I know I did at least 8 takes before finally saying the heck with it and just deciding to post it, no matter the fact I sounded silly and mixed up a few words. Anyone who can relate to this?

EDIT: And I just realized that it didn't get uploaded because of the file type not working with Youtube...Wasted time >_> This really sucks.

EDIT2: YAY I found out I was uploading the wrong file, so all is fixed :3

EDIT3: My video is live! o__o I can't believe I have something on youtube. This is scary to think about...Wow. If anyone wants to see it, let me know. It's kinda boring, but...I'm kinda proud of it, because, well, it's my FIRST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE =D

You have NO idea...how well I was able to relate to this. XD;;; Although my problem isn't a video...

You see...over a MONTH know, I've been working on this song. I actually FINISHED it already, but...I'm SO FREAKING NERVOUS about it that I just keep wanting to change just about everything.

Lets see...the lyrics. I'm fine with them, but I'm afraid I said everything wrong. You see...I wrote it in Japanese. My THIRD language. Which I'm not exactly fluent in yet. I know sentence structure, verb conjugation, all that kind of stuff...but my base vocabulary is still fairly small, not to mention that there are several times where I'm not sure which particle to use. D: And I'm JUST getting into the written language...I think I know maybe 100-125 kanji - which is NOT MUCH out of the required 2000 for level one of the JLPT. Especially since a good number of the ones I know are actually quite obscure. So I'm REALLY worried that I messed up with the lyrics.

The melody. It's probably because it's my own; I think I'd REALLY like it if it had been anyone else who wrote it. But I'm just never satisfied with it. It never seems good enough. D: I always feel like I'm singing/playing it wrong.

The instrumental. This is a BIG one - MY SYNTHESIZER. >.<; *would throw it out the window if she didn't need it so badly* It sounds like a real piano...except when I take my hands off the keys, the sound stops IMMEDIATELY. That's the one audible difference - with a real piano, the strings keep vibrating for just a moment while you move your hands. You really don't realize what a huge difference that is until you're doing something like this. I'd try and get to a real piano, but the only way I can get decent recording quality is by plugging my synthesizer directly into the line in jack on my computer. And then there's a section where I just can't work out what notes want to be played.

Which brings me to my final issue - the recording quality. I HAD it recorded the other day. I thought I was satisfied. But no...when I woke up the next morning, I realized I couldn't STAND the recording quality. It was too static-y and...>.<; I hated it. So now I'm trying to REDO it...but I'm being even more nitpicky than before.

There are two reasons I'm nervous. One is because of WHO I wrote it for. This is someone who has affected me deeply...in many, many ways. MOSTLY for the better...XD Seriously, though, he means a lot to me, and...this is my way of reaching out to him, letting him know that I'm out here and I care about him; my way of thanking him for all the ways he's affected me...so needless to say, I'm insistent on making it perfect, you know? And Valentine's Day is the perfect time. =3

The other reason is because I'm doing a "public version"...that I'm going to post on the internet. I do want to share the result of my hard work with my friends...I'm just afraid SOME people might use it against me for some reason. D; So hell yes, I'm nervous. I'm also afraid of having it stolen (since I'm pretty much unknown), or criticized more harshly than I can take (as in, a Gaia-style "critique" >.<;)...god yes, I know how you feel.

On a less serious note, I do feel nervous every time I post an AMV to YouTube. Largely because I'm pretty much a fanatic of a less popular pairing (even though it's COMPLETELY REASONABLE, not to mention hinted at quite heavily in the series!), so...^^; Yeah. I get made fun of for liking that pairing quite frequently, though...so I'm kinda used to it. >.>;;;

I wish there was more I could say to all that, especially since you took the time to write out such a long post D:
But I do think it's cool that you're making a song for him, and I honestly hope things work out. But if he cares for you like you care for him, he'll love it no matter what flaws it have- and I'm sure the flaws are just in your head! I'm sure you did great on it :3

I used to make really horrible anime music videos with windows, until I got used to timing and transitions they were all really unsynchronized. xD

I also had to make a video in flash one term.
I didn't sleep most of the term and I felt bad because it was mostly clip-art type stuff. I didn't have time to draw everything...

Making a video is so fun xD No need to be nervous about it!
Why did the forum close?
The only thing I do think would make me nervous is finishing my novel and having publishers read it :oops: What if I made a spelling mistake or something or other?! Waah..

Glad you found a way to upload it. I made a video once that I was going to put on Youtube, but the file was wrong so I just said 'screw it' and left it alone. ._.; The thought of uploading wasn't the main problem for me, it was talking to the webcam. I made about ten silent videos before I got the nerve to say anything. I felt kind of silly at first, just sitting there talking to myself. I could just see someone walking in and wondering what was wrong with me. xD

hmm, i've only made one video before...
it's about my kitten, so i'm not worried of the reply..
since it's mostly going to be like "aww, cute!" and stuffs...since it's human's nature ;P
but if it's sort of video that i made myself, i think i would've worry about others opinion too..just like when i make arts ^-^
