Jim here again... So, instead of Episode 1 of "Know Your Food," we present Episode 0.5, which documents the high drama of launching a video blog. Quite intense, my friends... Recall yesterday's installement -- when we captured the initial moment of inspiration in our library? Well, today's installment is a "confession cam" one, just like you see on every reality TV show ever produced.
The question is: Will we EVER actually launch our nutritional web show? Stay tuned...

Tanja, formerly of freshtopia.net here. Thank you so much for sharing your process, I actually really enjoyed even this little snippet! Very funny, because it's true, getting a quality online show up and running is much much harder than it seems! If you look back to the beginning of freshtopia, you will find there is no episode one. It was that bad! I know you'll hit your stride, and before you know it you'll be having even more fun sharing all your delicious knowledge with people through the magic of video!
Good luck, and much love!

Lots of love to you,

Tanja! How thrilling to have you stop by our blog and leave a comment! Thanks so much! I have always loved your work.
We aren't shooting to produce anything near as awesome as the work you and Oscar were creating. We just want very short, informative clips that don't take a lot of time to produce, edit, or post. We have too many other projects going on at the same time, so we need to streamline this Know Your Food series down to as little time in production as possible. The work you were doing was amazing and it was obvious that a lot of thought and work went into the episodes.
I got a good chuckle when you pointed out that Freshtopia had no episode one. LOL We're working on getting better equipment this weekend. If you have any advice, we welcome your time in sharing it with us!
Thanks, again, for stopping by!
Lots and lots of love to you,
Wendi

I know video is difficult to do - I watch Renegade Health all the time and they have primo equipment and yet there are still problems. I personally don't mind the home-grown nature of online video. I think it makes it more real. You guys are adorable by the way.

you confessional made me laugh my head off, I soooo understand what you are going through. my sons and I have tried to start our own video news and food show and the same thing happened. this is hilarious, I don't watch reality tv or any tv for that matter and never saw this confessional thing before you did it. LMAOROTFL...Thanks for reminding me that we can do it.
