Smarter not harder, John. I don't know how you managed the sheer amount of footage you were taking, I did an 11 day trip and took less footage than you have taken for a single vlog.
I think the attention to detail has really made your style. And I am with Hippo, you are good on camera, there is nothing to be self conscious about there.
The thing is, there are plenty of huge channels, whos editing is what I would call, sub-par, so I don't think the editing makes or breaks vlogs. I think at the end of it all, a compelling story or topic that keep viewers interested is king.
Thanks Dewey - and you're right - compelling story or interesting topic. Most of the time I don't feel like I have that part of it. As for managing the footage... it was a huge grind. Over a year later, and just now I'm taking time off to do other things with my evenings. It's been a TON of hours, more than I care to admit to myself. The # I mentioned in my 1yr vids was just what I could remember. It's probably closer to double that, what with Instagram and the other associated stuff.
yupe, watching good high quality content before editing to get in the mood.
And then never be happy with the end product
Amen to that! How many times do we back up 5 seconds to see how someone did a transition or something? Then I'm like, "Hey, I gotta try that out!"
That's awesome! I have to say, I was big into it as a kid, but it fell by the wayside in my teenage years, and only recently - like the last month - has it taken hold again. The problem now is I have my own credit card
You'll like some of my upcoming videos - I've got 3 or 4 where I talk Lego and what our family is going through right now.
It's a sickness with me, though. I have an obsessive/addicted personality, so I'm whole hog into the Lego thing, and it's set my credit card on FIRE.
