A behind the scenes look at The Kindness AEffect

The TV show has been one of the most exciting, creative things that I have done. It has been a huge learning curve as I have primitive video editing programs and very basic video editing skills. I have spent the last half of June and most of July this year, learning and playing with editing software. I had to teach myself about the editing software.

I always knew I had a concept of the structure and how the TV show should look and feel. I wanted to set the structure around the four main parts of the show.

Firstly, it would be general interviews with people in the community. Secondly, it would be how the community pays it forward. Thirdly, the stories would be from around the world. Fourthly, how being kind to yourself is so important to looking after yourself.

The show is about being kind to yourself which starts with the simplest of things. So I wanted people to realize that most of us are not kind to ourselves, that is why society is not being kind to each other.

Behind the scenes I sit at my computer editing voices and taking out as many “um’s” and “ah’s” and pauses to make the video flow. I was still learning to use the software and adding in cut aways and layovers took hours initially. It would take me a week and a half to edit one interview in the beginning but I am becoming quicker with the editing.

It has been a time consuming, love effort. Going and doing the interviews is phenomenal and fantastic experience. I get so emotional and people get emotional, because it is their lives and their moment of revelation and connection to their higher source, that inherent kindness and love within themselves, when they perform an act of kindness. Many have also become my new friends.
