Snapback catalogue #3 | My editing was still VERY choppy and I was still looking at the wrong place on my camera! But if you can put up with all that, then I hope you’ll still enjoy this old video. Bren x

Snapback Catalogue #1
There are a lot of new viewers in this community (welcome and thanks for being here!) and so I thought I’d dig up some old content for those of you who might be interested in the origins of the channel.
I must forewarn however that my editing was horribly choppy and the sound quality is not always good. There are many ums and abrupt jumps and jolts.
Why reshare these clunky videos at all then?
Well because I hope that it might encourage people to start their own channels! We all have to start somewhere and you learn along the way. I’m certainly no video-editing expert but even I have fumbled my way to better audiovisual production. Don’t be afraid to take the leap.
If you guys enjoy this, I’ll make the Snapback Catalogue a weekly feature.
Thank you all for being here.

Something I wanted to add in the most recent video but forgot to mention:
I’ve never used AI to produce a script (I don’t use scripts at all, as is probably very obvious from the profusion of verbal stumblings in my videos). And I have never used AI to generate a video! But about 6 months ago, I tried to generate a thumbnail for a video. Fortunately, I came to my senses and didn’t use the generated thumbnail! Luckily my partner is highly skilled when it comes to visual design and she helps me with those kinds of things. But even editing software comes loaded with AI tools nowadays and not all of the functions are explicitly labelled as “AI” so it would be dishonest to say that I operate in a perfectly AI-free environment! Even YT seems to incorporate “AI summaries” and generated captions which we as creators don’t intentionally include in our videos. I just wanted to be transparent about that.
Hope you’re all having a lovely start to the weekend,
