6 Reasons
If you intend to revolve your life(or at least a decent part of it) around video, then you should be shooting video often right? Well often may not even be good enough, you should be shooting some video everyday. There are more than likely many reasons to do this, but the article which discusses this opinion brings 6 specific reasons into light.
1.Become very familiar with your equipment:
Usually when you use equipment like a camera, the first thing you do is read the manual to familiarize or to remind yourself with it. However, if you use your equipment everyday, you're eliminating the need for that first step, as the knowledge of what each button does or how to do something specific become embedded into your memory.
2.Practice:
Practice can make perfect(unless you're practicing the wrong thing to do). Even if the footage you're recording isn't the best or even useable, you're still getting experience that will help you improve your work.
3.Experiment:
If you're recording everyday, why not mix it up? This also ties in with practice, everyday try something different, make different kinds of videos, or try working with things such as: Camera angles, framing, shot duration, etc.
4.Strengths and Weaknesses:
Pretty self-explanatory, if you record everyday you'll eventually get comfortable with what you're good with. You'll also get a good understanding of what you're not so good at.
5.Habits:
When you do something daily enough times, it will eventually become a habit right? Once you manage to make a habit out of shooting videos, it'll become second nature so you wont have to even think about it.
6.Inspiration:
Finally, searching everyday for something new to to make a video of, you're sure to be inspired.
