I love seeing video posts on blogs. I follow Tiffany Dow religiously (and I KNOW “Amy” will hate this) but Tiff’s videos are a lot of fun. I read her posts too, but the videos let me listen to what she’s saying when I’m busy driving and can’t read the post yet.<\/p>\n
The question then becomes, “Why aren’t I adding videos to my blog yet?”<\/p>\n
For a few reasons. First, I DON’T like myself in photos, much less live video feeds…but I can get over that one. After all, I’m afraid of heights too but I’ve still jumped out of a perfectly good airplane a few times!<\/p>\n
The bigger issues at the moment are the fact that the only “camera” I have to do it with is either my Blackberry phone (not the greatest quality for what I wanna do here) or my video cam (which has a “leash” that attaches it to my computer so I can’t really move to far or angle it where I want).<\/p>\n
One day soon I’ll take the time to do a bit of research on cameras that work well for the whole video blog purpose (and if any of you have one that you really like or have already researched a bit and can assist in narrowing down my research time, please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts!). The thing is, once I find something that’ll do the job well, then it’s a matter of actually doing them. And THAT’S gonna be the stopping point.<\/p>\n
I drive a truck back and forth between Phoenix and Long Beach. No, not my personal truck…a semi-truck (18-wheeler style). Between the truck itself and the crappy roads in California, NOTHING in the truck stays put unless it’s strapped down! It’s a constant CRASH…what was that? environment. So I have NO idea how I’d make a video blog in this environment.<\/p>\n
The blogging’s much simpler because Dragon Naturally Speaking is one of my bestest friends!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So, the goal of vlogging is definitely on my list. The purchase of a camera for the task is the first step. After that, it’s gonna be vlogging on the weekends or a quick vlog before bed….sounds dangerous! LOL<\/p>\n
Hey! Maybe since I don’t like being on camera anyway, doing a vlog WHILE I’m driving might be just the ticket…it would be so shaky and blurry that people couldn’t see me well anyway! On second thought, probably not a good idea. The audio part will be ok and with the way people drive around big rigs…I’d have to change my blog rating to “R” just for the language alone!<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you updated…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
