What a crazy week! I launched my brooke2nyu video last Tuesday and it’s now been viewed more than 360 times! Initially I was really embarrassed to send it out to people but the feedback has been so positive. I’ve been really encouraged by how many people have contacted me after seeing it to tell me that they liked it or just to express interest in what I’m trying to do. It’s so nerve racking when you don’t know how something is going to be received and I was really worried that no one would get the humour. But people’s reactions have been awesome! My friends really encouraged me and they couldn’t have been more helpful with the distribution. A few of them posted it to their Facebook sites as status updates. How sweet! What am I going to do without you guys??? Xxx
Here's a link to the video, just in case you missed my last post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Wgxi2bqBA

Video Blog
Only a couple of weeks ago I thought there was no way I’d ever make it to New York University. I was brainstorming get rich schemes, buying lottery tickets and asking my mother to get her church friends together to ask God for some special consideration. I was feeling really despondent about the idea and felt it was an intangible dream. Then everything changed. My best friend met a big time Executive Producer at a restaurant and told her all about my situation. That’s how Lizzy Nash became my mentor and my hero! It’s so good to have someone from the industry who believes in my cause. She came up with the idea of blogging and social networking. She’s got so much energy and enthusiasm and she’s really convinced me that I can do this!
Lizzy suggested I make a video blog to explain what a big opportunity I’ve got here and how people can get involved. I’ve had two weeks to make it and I would never have finished it in that time had it not been for the amazing help of my very good friend Nic Mckenzie. He did the animation and voiced the characters. We were up until the early hours of the morning twice in the last week! My colleagues at work must think I’ve become a crazed party animal. Nic’s band Deep Sea Arcade has just released an awesome new single called ‘Don’t be Sorry’ and they’re in the middle of promoting it so it was truly saintly that he gave up his time to help me. At 4am on Monday morning he looked at me pleadingly and said ‘Can we stop now? I have to go to work tomorrow.’ I felt terrible, but I will find some way of repaying him. Freshly baked cookies will be a good start.
Baked goods will also be greeting Nicky G next time I see him for letting me use his computer.
The video should be up in the next couple of days. I’m nervous about it and I really hope you like it!
