Last week we filmed the Philosophy of Learning. I expect we will be able to put it on the site next week. It’s funny, you know, when I stare at a blank sheet of paper before writing the notes for one of the talks, I sometimes just sit there, blank.
No, not blank; I just have so much I want to share with you it jumbles up in my head and it makes no logical sense for a while. Then I sigh, shake my head at my stupidity, and begin.
It shouldn’t be hard, you know. I’ve been writing seminar notes for years. I have a system I use that helps me analyse and segment the material into chunks that are easy to understand.
But they were all for live workshops. (Many still are) When you do a DVD though, it’s different. There is no audience, just you and the cameraman. I never refer to notes when I speak, live or in front of a camera. I prefer to communicate with you in the instant. Usually we shoot the DVD in one take. That means I have to make sure I get it in order, leave nothing out and make sense at the same time.
I now realise what happens. I make sure I am crystal clear in what I want to share with you. I originally worked it out logically, so I simply follow the ‘logic path,’ so to speak.
The real key to creating something from nothing is to create it ‘in the moment.’ I just talk with you as if you were there. Just a conversation on something I am passionate about. I sometimes do not know what the next sentence is going to be. But it comes out and makes sense.
I wanted to share this with you because I am saddened at the lack of spontaneity in the world. Just listen to politicians of late everywhere. I just get a high when I film a DVD because it is spontaneous, it is important (at least I think so) and it helps people.
Who needs drugs when you can communicate?
Live well,
Ollie
