What is Video Cafe?

Alison on her own is bland, but Alison + Coffee, and now we’re talking about a victorious combination! What is Video Cafe? These are my short, to-the-point, creative video updates, where I share life news, wisdom to make you wiser, and probably some other entertaining things to keep you glued, all while you enjoy sipping on a cuppa coffee or tea while you watch each “episode”. And if you don’t come out of them wiser, you’ll at least be slightly amused (I hope!).

Uh Yup, I should tell you the main problem!

There is substantial evidence below proving why I’m NOT a TV News Reporter. I must add to my To-Do list: “Take professional video-seriousness lessons.” I’m just too silly in front of a video camera. Something comes over me. So, this could be a problem! A “serious” problem!

Take 1: In this take, somehow I promise both “silly antics” and “newsworthy updates”. Uh ya…

A few hours later, I attempt another introduction.

Take 2: This time I challenge myself to “remain serious” and “informative” and “professional” and “wholesome, of course”. And then I top it off by promising “entertainment” and “one line songs” for all of you. This is getting out of hand (and I haven’t even officially started these updates!)

Final Prognosis?

Well, if you’re currently smiling (or inwardly amused), even if you aren’t any wiser or more informed, then maybe these video introductions have been a raving success. Only time will tell the final fate of these audiovisual delights
