Hello From CDI

 
The first of the two video projects I mentioned in my last post is complete, has been posted, and is doing rather well (at least compared to any other video I have posted).

As mentioned before, this video has absolutely nothing to do with roleplaying games, solo or otherwise. Instead, it is a revised version of a video I made with my wife as a work project. She is a Clinical Documentation Specialist and the field she works in is called Clinical Documentation Investigation/Integrity, or CDI. In a nutshell, she works in the medical industry reviewing patients' charts for accuracy and specificity. When Adele came out with her song "Hello," it wasn't long before my wife's creativity kicked in and she started thinking about creating a CDI parody based on the tune. 

Last year, she was required to present an educational project for her job. Somehow her supervisor allowed her to write and record her song parody and create a music video as her project. I might be expected, that version was geared more toward education, with a lot of slides full of definitions, charts and articles, and software screenshots that might be helpful to her department.  However, it was our intention to make a second version that was more lighthearted, fun, and safe to post publically (without any proprietary images related to her company). Additionally, it's useful whenever someone asks, "So what do you do as a CDS?"


As for the second project, which is a roleplaying game, the gameplay is complete and I am preparing to start working on the video portion. Look for that in the upcoming weeks. Also, I should be resuming my Eastern Wastes campaign soon so that should be close on the video's heels.
