People keeping asking me to repost this vid. I’m happy so many of you liked it and are able to use it and learn from it. So here it is again. The people demand it, so I supply it. Ne on the look out for my next vid to premier sometime later this month, maybe around the end of the month.
`
I’m still taking requests also. Have something you want me to demonstrate or see, let me know at shala@itsshala.com. Anything dealing with Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Photography, videography, typography, branding, copyrighting…I’m all over that. Get at me.
Way too funny! I saw this commercial when I went to see Eclispe, i was like awesome! I love this commercial it’s one of my latest favorites. Now this is good video editing and script writing at work.
What do you think?
#2 Don’t take criticism with a grain a salt. Don’t take them negatively. Everyone has different views and opinions, and see things - - the WORLD differently. The smart thing to do is to ALWAYS listen to criticism and take them into account.
‘
Example:
`
“I don’t like how you have to keep scrolling down the site. It’s annoying”, says the friend of one of my clients.
`
“Well, I like it! I think it’s great and it should stay how it is”, responds my client.
`
“Hmm. Well your friend is annoyed by the scrolling. Which means another potential customer of yours could be annoyed by it as well, turning them away from your site. What annoys one could annoy many. So it may be best to take the scrolling out.”
`
“I see your point”, my client says nodding their head and smiling.
`
“WEeee may like it. But the end goal is not to please our taste, but attract customers and draw business….”, I respond.
`
So the Moral is:
“Learn from criticism, analyze it, and apply it successfully. Don’t get bent out of shape about it. Seriously, if you are a creator of anything, and plan on showing it to the world…you’re going to get criticized. Rather you want to be or not. Everyone has an opinion….and many are going to voice it”

Feel free to contact me about anything. I’d love to hear from you…
#1 When uploading files to an FTP site, the file names cannot have spaces in them or they will not upload. ’ First time I uploaded a site. A full 25 page site with more than 50 graphics. I named my files and graphics that I used on the site, using spaces. So of course uploading the “finished” site failed. ’ It took me hours, like 2. To go and rename all the files with underscores instead of spaces. Then update each file and graphic on all 25 pages with the new file names. ’ That my friends, is one lesson that has been imprinted on my soul. Now when even naming files tht are not for a website, they could only be getting saved to my document folder: “I still make sure NOT to name my files with spaces, and use underscores instead” ’ I’ve been scarred LOL.
Okay, so I have been testing out Ustream and it definitely has some great qualities. However, with the style of videos I will be posting, I need to be able to display my full screen, in full screen mode. I’ve tried doing this with Ustream in different ways, and my screen just does not come out clear in the videos. So I am just going to use a good ole screen-caster recording program, and post the vids directly on my site (itsshala.com). What I do think I’m going to do, because Ustream is so fun, is broadcast myself live as I record diff vids. So everyone will get to see all the bloopers and screen takes live as the happen, LOL. It’ll be an awesome “behind the scenes” look. I hope to get the first vid posted this week….So be on the look out. I’ll annouce it when the first vid gets posted. Either over PowerPoint or Web Design. Maybe I’ll get two vids posted this week…— Shala
I found a lot of random pics of me and created a video with them—

I crack up every time the old guys starts snoring, and the friend is like, “Say what?” Plus I know a guy who reminds of the guy eating the skittles. He looks like him, and that is definitely something he would do. (Inner circle of mine, you already know who I’m talking about…tell me I’m wrong LOL)
So funny: “Take me away from where…” Her facial expression is like, “What the hell are you talking about, if you don’t get away from me bugging me…”, nevermind the fact it’s a TALKING pinata LOL
