@@AnimalsatHomePodcast do you ever suffer from creative burnout and how do you overcome this?

[@AnimalsatHomePodcast]

@@msmilano101 oh yeah, all the time! It comes in waves, there are many days where I lose all my motivation to continue creating content. Generally overcome it by making a change, changing the way I record, the set up of the room, the style of thumbnail, etc. even little changes help.

Nodding instead of verbal encouragement is gold! Tip for us reptile podcasters: If you put an audio podcast on KZbin, just film your reptile enclosure and record for the length of your episode. Your reptile may not move much, but it will be an engaging visual for your episode. I was beyond surprised how people loved watching a chameleon do nothing for 30 minutes. It may have been almost the same as a still image, but people loved that it was a real chameleon being still! Loved this video!

Thanks for watching, Bill! I love the idea of recording your enclosure, that is genius!!

This was so helpful, Dillon, thank you. And I already feel like I learned from you just by being a guest! But as I’ve started doing interviews myself, I’ve struggled a bit and this helped me with some of those. Especially nodding instead of talking!! And I’ve felt so stressed about releasing every week, and so down on myself when I haven’t been able to, so it’s nice to hear that you found a rhythm and it can be fluid. Do you record your video separately from the local zoom recording? One thing I don’t like about zoom is that you can either do a gallery view or speaker view but not just separate speakers, and the quality is not awesome either way.

[@AnimalsatHomePodcast]

I’m glad you found this helpful, Shira! Yes, I record a video separately as well using a higher quality DSLR camera. However, I don’t think that’s 100% necessary. And yes, that’s definitely one downside of zoom. I always record on gallery review, that way I have A full uninterrupted feed of the guests video… But like you said, the downside of that is reduced quality. I don’t concern myself too much with the guests quality though.
