Sitting Down And Editing, Blues

[malJohann]

Always industrys in places to make money

Sure. I just haven't seen any Vlog specific equipment being manufactured, so where's this industry?

Well, camera manufacturers target bikers to use their gear and have their own brand microphones and microphone ports, if you're juat capturing action, why do you need a wired mic?an industry is created by demand.

For those who dread editing (myself included sometimes), is the work even worth it??? I mean, the same energy could be put into making paper snowflakes or something and enjoy it ~

Maybe a number of us (not all though, don't get me wrong ~) have the same dream of becoming the next Baron Von Grumble (or someone like that), so that's why we push ourselves? I know I never will in my lifetime... but heck, making monthly mortgage payments off of making YouTube videos never sounded bad in the first place ...

Also, we could be riding around on our motos instead of sitting in front of the computer . I don't know, food for thought, food for thought ~

i have a lot of old unedited footage. i prefer to do a rough edit of videos. basically i watch a (e.g.) 30 minute video and just roughly cut if down to 10-15 minutes which pretty much means i just cut all parts where i am not talking, traffic lights, etc. also means you sync all cams and/or several parts of several videos what belongs together.

then just let it lie for WEEKS even. before u actually finish it.

i've started editing stuff. i won t publish till 2015 xD.

i go crazy thinking about how i started. go out and ride. then go home sit in front of the PC trying to piece the same stuff together you said (and saw) 30 minutes ago.

nothing good can come of it

PS: i also preoritise. i ve started publishing stuff out of order, just because i like one vid more than the other.
i learnt to throw stuff away. I still have vids that are coming out now that were recorded in may

Helmet cameras with mic adaptions more and more people selling there own merchandise from vlogging, id say its quite a big industry now too

 

[malJohann]

None of the equipment or merchandise is specific to Vlogging though, all existed before.

What would you add to vlogging kits that's unique then?

Loom bands are a craze here, but they're just elastic bands that have existed for years remarketed. It's why people like Action Cameras give Spicy110 Drifts to get them out to vloggers.

I get jacked when I plug my gopro into my mac and it imports. Then its just the hard part of deciding how much to cut out.

 

[malJohann]

My point exactly.

 

[Lurch]

As was my point there's lots of things that use off the shelf stuff and create an idustry from whats there.

We're photographers, well, videographers, it's exactly the same as broadcast TV, just specialised to riding bikes, its a unique corner of program making, simple as that.

So a niche market then, as opposed to an industry.

 

[Lurch]

Of course it's niche, if it wasn't niche you'd see most bikes with cameras, not just a few. There is still a significant enough market certainly within the UK for distributors to furnish vloggers with freebies to get it out there.

Maybe I should have put market in bold, as opposed to industry. Receiving free stuff just because you do something other people like to view, does not an industry make. The people giving you the stuff are just doing marketing for their brand. We're a little corner buried somewhere in the entertainment industry. I we produce anything saleable, it amounts to a couple of clicks on ads, and bandwidth spent on youtube and the ISP you use. Here I'm not saying that crap content is being produced, but rather pointing to where the money is being earned. A handful of us have managed to get free stuff, and some of us are supporting the printing industry via stickers and shirts (heck, maybe even mugs!).

Market is better, and yes, there clearly is, as there is marketing directed towards bikers.

As gor vloggers making money, well then that's journalism or film making. An extremely tough place to break through with any real degree of success, regardless of how you hold your camera or what "crap" you publish.

Vlogging is a hobby that has created a market opening for people that have manufactured wearable tech, an increasing technological trend that all sorts of people are attracted to. A trend that has managed to grow by virtue that the results can be shared within minutes of caputuring video.

So the hobby has created a market within the camera making industry. Small, yes. Insignificant? No, otherwise they'd not hand kit out to influential (high subs) vloggers for it to be noticed.
