I think it was 2008 when I first became familiar with the term “vlogging”
Ever since, I’ve been pretty interested with it and even had couple of attempts to make my own videos, which didn’t really end with the result I desired.
Now that I think about it, there are couple of things that you really need in case to vlog
I’ll try to scale it down to 3 main tips.
- A fine camera.
good equipment is the most essential thing for vlogging, but you obviously already knew that. If you’re looking for camera recommendations for vlogging, try here & here.
- Good editing software.
If you think that this one’s not as important as having a good camera, you’re wrong. I’ve had a nice vlogging device [Flip Ultra HD] for two months now and you know what i filmed? Nothing. Why? Because my editing software sucks. Some blogs might recommend Windows Movie Maker that comes with every Windows, but it’s horrid and even if you start using it as a newbie, you’ll newer be delighted with it, at least not for long. Good editing softwares are:
Δ Final Cut Pro (most vloggers use this)
Δ iMovie (if you have Mac it comes for free)
Δ Camtasia Studio (Which I used at first)
Editing videos is easy. It might seem complicated at first, especially in Sony Vegas and such, but try starting with simple softwares and then purchase others. There are always neat tutorials if you can’t get the hand of something at first, so try googling it.
- Environment.
For me, this is really essential, because bad environment really puts me off. [while filming in household] You see, I don’t have my own room and it’s really hard to get some quiet time for yourself to film a video during daylight. At night when it’s more peaceful, flourecent ruins everything so I lose the to film at all.
It’s easier when I have to film something outdoors, especially since I own Flip Ultra HD, it’s quite handy. [recommended]
I really wish I could film stuff more frequently, but I guess it’s better if I don’t, at least not before i feel comfortable with stuff that makes me uneasy, cos for me, making quality vlogs that are worth watching comes first.
All in all, I hope you found these tips helpful and will be more successful at vlogging than I am xD
Good luck xx
Meanwhile, here’s my deserted YouTube channel
Back to free domain, possibly for good.
I don’t have much to say, actually I have some awesome plans but I’m not gonna rant about those until it actually happens, so *fingerscrossed*
Until then, le blog ^
So, as I posted several days ago, English writer Andrew Lane was going to visit Georgia to promote his book series “Young Sherlock Holmes” this week.
Our local publisher “ბაკურ სულაკაურის გამომცემლობა” translated first part of series: ‘Death Cloud‘ in Georgian so it was a book presentation as well. When I fist heard about the event, I was very excited, cos I loved Torchwood Novel – Slow Decay that Andy wrote and I couldn’t believe that he was actually going to visit Tbilisi, that kind of stuff doesn’t really happen here often
So I went today at the event and after he gave a speech, readers had a chance to ask questions and me and Sally were the only ones who could actually understand English so I told him that we were Whovians and really glad that he visited, loved his TWD work as well as Sherlock series and was going to read ‘Red Leech’ and ‘Black ice’ and asked if he was going to write any more TWD novels or maybe do Radio Dramas. He was very happy to see that somebody actually cared, cos mostly audience had no clue what was going on and most of them were there for the painting contest
Later, Mr. Lane had to choose winners from best painting and best question, I thought that he would choose something related to Sherlock, I enjoyed the book very much, but had no good ideas to ask, so I choose Doctor Who subject instead. So Mr. Andy said that he was glad somebody had read his book in English, so he chose me ♥ I was so excited and embarrassed and stuff, you know, everybody staring at you and stuff, I greeted him and he also made a remark about my Union Jack t-shirt ^ They gave me my prize that I won, a pool and spa membership and he signed my book, we chatted some more about Doctor Who and how he had done some work for Torchwood magazine, I explained that I couldn’t subscribe to magazine from Georgia, also the fact that I’d have let him sign my ‘Slow Decay‘ copy, but I only had an audiobook, so that was a shame. But in overall it was sucha fun event, I think that he enjoyed our presence as much as we did, kind of cheered each other, had a wonderful time :] He promised to visit again if he could for next series translations, which is gonna be awesome!
Gosh, I’m so thrilled, I can’t believe I met the actual author and we spoke and stuff, so excited about tonight. I know you think it’s no big deal and don’t want to listen to my foolish rambling, but this doesn’t happen very often, so it made my day ^___^
So, my dear blog which no one reads, we meet again ^
not much has changed, still watching 10 TV Shows a day… #Sanigetalife
only here to update smth, tho:
Now I’m a university student, studying Arts and Sciences at Ilia State University and today I chose 2 extra subjects which are ‘Contemporary Literature from Modernism to Postmodernism‘ aaaand ‘Space and Time in Contemporary Physics!’ That’s right, my dear, I’m going to be studying Physics and to be more specific, I’m gonna know more about Big Bang Theory!
HOW BLOODY AWESOME IS THAT?! xD
I mean, basically it’s like Sani meets Doctor Who meets Sheldon Cooper ^
ahhh, I’m so gonna enjoy this #nerdpower
yeaaaah *smirk*
Harry Potter’s last movie premiered in Georgia at 14th of July, on the day of my final exam, which was a big relief, obviously.
Since then I’ve seen it twice. I’m planning to go again around 25th to see it in English (we get Russian dubs and only one English screening if we’re lucky)
I have to say I’m pretty much delighted with it, it made me cry, it made me laugh and I had this strange feeling when I first came out of the theatre, it’s like when you don’t really know what to feel, but you know something important is ending.
People react to Harry Potter pretty harshly here, not many understand how important part this saga can take in your life, especially if you started reading it since you were eleven and grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione in this magical little world, like I did.
