My Tr
I love
watching reels, and I love commenting on them, but making them—that’s a tale I shy
away from telling.
Reels are fun
to make, but it takes a certain amount of skill and expertise to put one
together. Once the images are chosen, you’ve got to arrange them, choose the
music, and decide on how much of the tune or song you would like to use—here I
generally mess up. I’m never able to apply the right length of the tune; it's
either too long or too short, or the reel is made without any music, and I have
to start over. I’m all thumbs as far as filters and transitions go and can barely
manage the text, but I persevere, and the result is usually like that of a
child learning to write the alphabet.
I watch
Instagrammers reveal “secret Instagram hacks’ on how to get the “zoom effect”
for a reel or story and umpteen other hacks on making the greatest reels
ever. I decide to try a couple of these and end up attempting ‘a hundred’ start-overs.
Nonetheless, I’m
participating in the Blogchatters #15DaysReelChallenge and wish me luck.
