Making You Tube videos is great fun but it brings out my latent, generally well controlled perfectionism. There is no possibility of producing sight and sound presentation of professisonal quality with the equipment available to me. Would it be perfect if I had the use of a high class production studio? Not a chance. Never good enough. I couldn't even produce a decent, wholly satisfying audio tape when I was in radio, presumably working with more or less professional equipment. I fussed over little things nobody would even notice but it was never quite right. Razor blades, splicing tape, multi-track machines. The digital generation doesn't know what it's missing.
The best that a perfectionist can hope for in his trek though an imperfect world is to avoid subjecting others to his crazy standards. We are crazed.
Herewith, some painfully imperfect videos from my CAP production studio. Cheap and Primitive.

Will the perfectionists be damned to an eternal hell of never getting it quite right or is there a corner of heaven where everything works?
One of the imperfections in this post, before I fixed it, wondered if perfectionists would be damed to an eternal hell of never getting it right. I left out the "N." Oh my, would that refer to an eternity of havng problems with dames ...dolls ... babes? Spare me that!
