I woke this morning with the realisation that I have become the audience for my plogging videos. There was a time when I made videos to promote plogging, to try to instil positive change. I’ve moved away from that goal towards making a difference by leaving places I visit cleaner than I found them.
The videos, they have become a record for me of those places and a mechanism for learning. Rather than just visit, pick up a bit of litter, and leave, I also do some research about the location. During the editing process, I get to re-experience both the visual beauty of the locations and the things that I’ve learned about them. I’m the one who watches my videos the most, so I’ve decided to make those videos for me. I am my audience.
This video from a few months ago was made to appeal to the average Australian, to try to make the word ‘plogging’ better known.
This recent video was made about a place. I didn’t realise it at the time but the creation of this video was more for me than for anyone else.
