Vlogging.

Vlogs. I’ve never done one. I now intend to start one – this time with all the other guys too. I don’t know precisely what part anyone is going to play in any of the upcoming things, but with the mentality we’re taking it probably won’t matter. I’ve wanted to shout at a camera about things for a while now and I damn well intend to, so we’re going to sacrifice the one thing we don’t think we’d really have anyways; quality.

Where this blog has always been about learning to write and getting myself into a proper work ethic to keep writing, the vlog will work on our video editing skills and valiantly taking stab at our camera shyness. It means we’re going to need to make mountain – great heaping terrifying mountain – all of crap. I can’t assure you that any of it will be enjoyable or worth checking out, but I suspect the odd bearable glimmer will shine through. The point is to get us to, like the blog, keep at it. It’s a work thing I’ve been capable of pulling off on my own now – but only barley. I can throw out a number of these posts in a week and I don’t see any sign that I’ll show down any time soon, but that’s just me. Lonesome singular me. Getting another two people to dedicate what free time they have to effectively working won’t be near as easy.

To that end I regret to say the videos will likely contain an unhealthy quantity of odd experiments as I try and find out precisely what part of film making my friends find fun so that they’ll feel motivated to keep going. I’d really like to get everyone today early this Tuesday and crack out an introduction show and a follow up on Video Games Live, but I never seem to have any luck getting a hold of people at a decent hour. Maybe I’ll just go throw rocks through their windows until they come out.



Oh, as a side note on Video Games Live itself; the show was awesome. I have most of a post on it planned out, but I’m holding back throwing it up here until I see if we can make that vlog. Ideally they’ll go up at the same time, but if for some reason we fail to make any sort of video I’ll just post the blog instead. Something’s better than nothing, right?
