my first cooking video – so fun

by Michelle

UPDATE: I love learning about video! Thank you so much for the ‘constructive’ criticism. During that miserable storm yesterday, I practiced editing. I was able to take my first cooking odyssey from over 15 minutes to 7. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do this time to fix my lack of head – lol. Let me know what you think.

I spent the day with Sean McGrath filming my first cooking video of my ‘meatloaf for a chef’ recipe.

This is not an example of Sean’s work. He’s genius! This was Sean showing me the simplest way I could make cooking videos by myself. It was information overload but absolutely fascinating.

Check it out and subscribe to my youtube channel.

Thanks for reading/watching – lol.

I LOVE this, Michelle! I especially love that there are no “cut” scenes…. the dropped egg is a great part!

Thanks Barb! I learned a lot today and loved doing it. The smashed egg was my favorite bit too!

Hi Wayne, I think I could have made it a bit shorter by doing more prep in advance however, it does gice you a real time sense. The ‘egg’ is my favourite part! xo

Hi Marie, Thanks so much! It’s very different to speak the recipe as opposed to writing it but I loved it all the same!

Hi Sandra, I use a coffee grinder at the farm for my spices – works like a charm! I loved working on the video. I’d like to do a couple a month…
