Dance with an Orangutang

You heard that right!  I have danced with an Orangutang. 

Watch it here on youtube. https://youtu.be/Q2YgxroReb0

Now that I have succeeded with my first green screen video, I’m dreaming up new crazy ideas on how to present cool stuff and my office is now looking a bit different with a green sheet hooked to the ceiling.

The possibilities with a green screen are only limited to your imagination.  Go for it!

For example, I wanted to figure out how to put my head as a pop-up in the bottom corner of a video using a green screen.  It’s a little more complicated… But success!

You can watch the full video here below providing commentary about the Big Hippo Sunshade with mini-me pop-up head.

As you will hear in the video… It’s that time of year when it will get HOT this Summer! It’s time to get your Big Hippo Sunshade! https://youtu.be/A2BbWkBACiQ

All this learning with video editing reminds me of the Project Management term, “Progressive Elaboration”.

It’s the iterative process of advancing by continually improving upon each fundamental gain in knowledge through the progressive nature of a project.  Progress is made by building upon what has been learned with each iteration.  This same concept applies to life, raising kids, and even my learnings with iMove.  It’s rare you get it all right the first time! 

Many times you will take one step forward to take two steps back, but that is all normal.  For projects the gradual progression will lead to refining project estimates for such items as scope, time, and cost.  As your project team learns through progressive elaboration any issues will be prevented or you will catch the issues sooner and/or fix them much faster.

IT STARTS HERE

This is my first post to Michaels Bunch Blog.

What is my Vision: To build a Community of Family and Friends that are actually connected and share each other’s lives! I want to entertain while also sharing tips that make life better and more fulfilling and I want to share my project management knowledge to make life run more smoothly for everyone. I expect to learn from others and about blogging in the process of doing this too.

I’ll make up the rules as I go… I’m not sure where this will lead, but I do know this. At 48 years of age and getting married to my beautiful wife 15 years ago and blending a family of 5 girls has created a TON of content. I honestly should have started this 15 years ago, but now that I’m nearly a empty nester…. I have time to write the stories down. I could write a book! But instead of that… I’ll blog it.

Also I have a passion for project management! My family would say… ewww… that’s boring, but I firmly believe that part of the Michaels Bunch success (The secret sauce) was applying project management methodology to the family unit.

Welcome to my world!

My first rule for me is… “Don’t over think it”… I’m just going to write what comes to mind… I do know this… If I spend too much time thinking and typing… Nothing will get done… So… Just publish and keep it going… No “Analysis Paralysis”
