Well if you’ve been keeping up with the sight, then you already know I’ve been experimenting with the video portion of blogging. Here is the first attempt at creating a video completely from scratch (no pre-recorded video in the project). The meal is for the amateur foodie portion of this sight, Innie-or-Outie, which was created because of the large number of food-oriented posts that were taking up too much of this sight. The video was created from original pictures taken while I was cooking the meal and self-recorded audio instructions.
