Topic: Video Blogging

[decoyman]

Hey, do any of you guys subscribe to any video blogs? I watch random ones off and on, and one regularly in particular (Brigitte Dale - she recently won some Yahoo "Internet Personality of the Year" award or something, and she's got a great style and is really funny too).

Well, seeing as I was looking for a good excuse to learn more about video editing, I decided to start up a video blog of my own. So far I only have two episodes (and the first one is actually more of a test - just me checking out transitions, style, effects, cuts, etc.), but more are in the pipeline as soon as I have a chance. Doing these is turning out to be really fun, actually!

I've put the link in my sig, but I'll also put it here (for those with sigs turned off). Go check them out, if you dare.

I hate my safety glasses too.

That's not the only one you've done!

LOL RAB cover your ass! You already have yourself depicting exactly what you are complaining about you twat!

I love any excuse I have to use this picture.

Oh my, how could I not have known this by now? Thank you, Roland, for helping me realize the twat-ishness of my ways. I'm quitting this instant.

And Caliban, I'm glad you kinda-sorta understand my plight. Thank you. For emphasis in my mind, I'm going to pretend that your spoiler-text hides an expletive, though.

I took a hypocritic oath. What's it to you guys?

FOOOOOOOOOOOOIRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

5 Stars.

Ahahaha, hadn't seen your Fox News rant before. Good show.

[decoyman]

Well, this video blog thread was utterly and completely hijacked by the guy who hates video blogs and thinks they're for twats, but I'm not giving up. I've posted another video. Click my sig link if you're curious, or check it out directly here.

The premise: "What is the best way to get to know someone; or, how do you gauge someone's true colors if you don't know them well?" My answer: watch him or her try to learn to snowboard.

P.S. - I should have learned this skill when I was much younger/smaller/lighter.

[Caliban]

Wiifit to the rescue... not really. Well, maybe, just maybe.

[decoyman]

Heh, definitely. Now if I could just find it in-stock somewhere...

[decoyman]

It is apparent that people aren't really interested in my video blogs, but like the headstrong, out-of-touch leader who doesn't listen to his consumers that Nintendo has taught me to be, I am posting to let you all know that I've done another.

It's here...
"Observations on questionable Facebook ads, Maggie, and living alone for the first time in nearly 4 years."

This one has a different flavor. It's lime! You like lime? No? Then it's Strawberry. Yeah. We'll call it strawberry. Sweet with a little tanginess to it. Yeah, that's actually pretty spot on, I think.

This one is called "The Status Change" and it's some of my thoughts as I go through the process of divorce. Don't worry, though, it's not too emo, and it's funny in parts, so I don't think it should bring you down or whatever. At least it didn't bring me down making it... it actutally was kind of therapeutic.

P.S. - Thanks, Caliban, for the comments. I appreciate it

One last try. I've got two new videos since my last, responseless post above. I really do think these are improving, slowly but surely.

#1. Summer + High School Reunion.
"How do I know it's summer? And what exactly is happening in a few weeks? Only one way to find out..."
Featuring clips of the song, "Another Sunny Day," by Belle & Sebastian

#2. Bad Experiences at the Barber.
"What do Romulans, repetitive conversations, and off-center mohawks have in common?"
Featuring clips of the song, "Hang On Little Tomato," by Pink Martini

Lastly, does anyone else do videos? Not necessarily a blog, but short skits or anything. I know RAB does, and wullfman's friend does, but are we the only ones? IT'S SO FREAKING FUN YOU GUYS, srsly. It's taken me away from video games, in fact! =o

I deal with video processing and codec research.

Only until recently did I get a nifty HD camcorder.

Come back inside and answer your Wii mail!

I was pretty much gone from NWR for the month of May. I didn't even see this post before.

Yeah, I knew you were the video guru, Pro-er-Madonoymite. So, what are you doing with your spiffy new HD cam?

Come back inside and answer your Wii mail!

My blue light hasn't lit up in months because of a Wiimail from a person. I turned off Brawl's notification feature, and a lot of the other notification features too, as it just got my hopes up that something cool had arrived

I capture scenes of Domestic Wildlife.

I capture scenes of Domestic Wildlife.

This term is blowing my mind. Domestic (wild)life, as in crazy parties thrown by middle-aged suburbanites? Or (domestic) wildlife, as in exotic animals that people keep as pets (alligators, leopards, etc.)?

On another note, so you can track your stats on YouTube, and I think I really do need some help. Specifically, help from the 35 and younger and male group. See, recently I saw my stats go from a good mix of various ages and genders to 75% of my views coming from people ages 55 and up, and 81% of my views are from women. I'm putting two and two together here, and deducing that I've somehow become popular with the elderly female demographic, and I have no idea how or why. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course - I like all people, no matter their age or gender!) So, you know, go watch my videos a bunch, ok, and repair the skew! I want balance, dang it!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

just house cats and incarcerated aquarium aminals.  aside from family gatherings.

You recently had a co-star that is in need of more screen time... the cat obviously.
Why don't you become the relaxed videogame nerd.
Errr I will stop giving stoopid ideas.

I was trying to watch yesterday but I forgot I don't have sound right now. I have to hook things back up then go back and check it out.
