Does your house have a little door?
Too small to store anything, but it’s there?
What’s in there?
A warning maybe…?
My house has a little door.
And I've always wondered what I can do with it.
So when I was standing in the middle of the room, scanning around... searching for how to get out of the one-video-a-day corner I had painted myself into, my eyes came to rest on this little door.
I needed something quick because I was still editing one of my favorite advent countdown videos (which comes tomorrow). Maybe the door bursts open? But what's in there? Ummmmm... maybe we don't need to SEE what's in there? Oooo wait--- maybe what's trying to get out is the video itself. There's only 8 days 'til Halloween. Hmmmm...
Then I had to figure out how to have the door 'burst' open.
String? But then you'll see the string.
Thread? Not strong enough to yank and have that door open.
So what did I do?
I CRAWLED INTO THE SPACE!
True story. I folded myself up, and backed & squiggled in there, pulling the door closed in front of me.
Which --I'm not gonna lie-- is a little freaky. So I set up the camera to roll, finagled myself in there, waited a beat, and burst the door open!
The moment of sitting still, in the dark little cubby, alone... in the house alone. The morbid thought passing through my head 'Jeez, what if I died right now?!'
Those little icicle drips of fear creeped up my neck.
So THIS simple little video? Gave me a Halloween fright. That's worth it alone, right?
