Like so many of my better decisions, this one was my wife Deborah Roberts idea.
Nick is our youngest child, 18, and he’s on the autism spectrum.
So I thought getting him involved was a great idea.
We did a great one on summer grilling.
But for me it’s more than just a collection of fun video clips.
The audience loves it.
Keep the camera at eye level or higher.
Come out of the shadows.verify your face is well illuminated, with no light source directly behind you.
Skip the sunset.Those digital backgrounds on some platforms are distracting.
Instead, put some fresh flowers behind you, or sit in front of a bookshelf.
But Nick is adaptable.
He’s a good swimmer, and he’s been swimming in a nearby lake to stay in shape.
He’s thriving at school, even though it switched to Zoom.
He’s self-sufficient, and he’s stretching into new areas.
He’s enjoying life and seeing he can do different things.
