This is me experiencing a little bit of impostor syndrome, which, I imagine is an experience many first time panelists have gone through.
These are my questions to myself:
What do I have to offer to the world of content creation?
How am I sitting at the same table as a prolific, hilarious comedian?
And a professional YouTube cook?
And a professional musician who has built this amazing studio?
And that representative from a quality mic company?
To ignore these self doubts I focused on the questions posed and tried to add in any new insight if my fellow panelists had covered my sentiments thoroughly. My wife has done a panel before and said this is just how it goes - you hope that someone hasn’t already said what you’re going to say.
That happened plenty, yet I still managed to say something slightly different here and there, and that might be of value to someone looking to make things. To be clear, I have nowhere near the metrics of my fellow panelists.
But one question that I thought was interesting was essentially - how has your content creation changed?
How have I adapted? I honestly don’t think I have very well yet. My answer was that I am thinking of shorter form content. Which is why you’ve seen a couple of animations on my page recently. I’m looking to make more of those. They’re fairly easy to make happen, and I can make them all on my own.
So look forward to that! If you have any ideas for me for animations, I’m game.
