Where I blew it: I moved around too much. I have a terribly hard time holding still, because the more still I am, the more boring I am, and the more I move, the better I sound--but don't look. I also got too close at points, letting my chin get covered by byline and making me too big relative to her in the 2-shot look. Next time I will hang a cut-out over the screen so I know where my head should be. Beware the big head!
It is a conundrum.
Other thing: I have a clip-on mike that I could have and should have used! Could have lit myself better too. Next time I will do better.
I had spent a good chunk of time just beforehand spreading mulch outside--hence the raccoon-like lower eyelids.
I will say, though, so much nicer just to do from office as opposed to the 2-3 hour effort to go all the way downtown, etc. that part I simply love.
