So I kept mine last year, not realizing it. It really helped me get into the mind space for this year. I kept this years for next year. I absolutely picked apart my video from last year but looking back at it now, it wasn’t that bad, just really grainy because I didn’t know how to compress a file like that. This year’s I am mostly happy with. I honestly think, unless I redid takes over and over again, there would not have been a better cut of it. But again I had to do editing because I would have stumbled over my words.It's hard not to go back and pick it all apart after it's submitted! I deleted my Round 1 responses from my computer immediately after I submitted, because I didn't want to obsess over what I did wrong or could've done better. Now I kind of wish I'd kept them though, because I can't remember what I wrote. But on the other hand I've been picking my R2 responses/video to pieces. I didn't want to delete them though in case I can use/tweak them for next year.
I feel like today is the first day where it's even slightly possible for emails to go out, and I'm a little on pins and needles even though I know it's still probably a couple days too early.
I have moved to nausea every time I open my email. I watched a documentary on the Walt Disney Archives last night and got super emotional. Stupid, I know. I am really ready to process which every way this goes.
