Trying my hand at vlog style videos. I sound so awkward, it's not often I hear my own voice or watch myself haha. Going to probably not upload the first few videos and I'll see if I improve over time and if I want to keep going, then I might go ahead and upload them anyway knowing that the next ones are better. If I don't end up sticking with vlog style I might still try to do more videos anyway. I kinda have an urge to try to grow my channel and up the quality of the content and do something with it instead of just random oddball vids. I don't really expect to make any kind of money though since Youtube demonetized all the smaller channels a while back. Only the big ones can monetize their videos now.

Still managed to foeget one thing so need to do the same run again on thr. At least it is one round trip next time

Somehow, Tim Horten's will be involved. Either that or you forgot to back over the witch again.

Shoot. Do both. It'll be good for the soul.

How much time did you spend editing it?

The nice folks who are good about it are:
Writing a script, or at least an outline
Rehearsing: while possible recording to review
Recording
Edit
Record again as needed
and edit a few more times

But, Hey. You gotta start somewhere.

Good Luck NEF

That abandoned village bicycle should just be recycled.

Been turned off by new owners of Tim Horton's
Now I go to McD for coffee.

I just spent over an hour editing a video, I imagine I will get faster over time though. I don't really script much but I kinda think of what I'll talk about then say it and keep the clip if I like it. For now there's not actually much clips of me talking, it's mostly just clips and time lapses of what I'm working on after explaining what I'm about to do, then do an outro. I will probably figure out a good system as I go along. I'll be able to talk more for projects that are actually indoors, just feels odd to talk to camera outside when there might be other people around.

Eventually though, once all my major house projects are done I will probably vlog more indoor projects like electronics stuff or what not and actually spend more time talking. I am mostly doing the current ones for practice and to get used to the idea of talking on camera until I can get more natural at it. Or maybe I'll just decide it's not something I really want to do, but hey figured I'd try it.

Speaking of censoring, I noticed that they sensor the word "drugs" on radio now. I noticed it when Nickelback "Rockstar" was playing, it sounded odd (like more odd than just the fact that it was Nickelback :p ) and then I realized that every time the song says the word "drugs" it was just edited out. So odd.

Went to Cochrane and back today. Just a quick trip since my mom needed to go get something at a store there and since I was off I went for the ride. Ate there then came back. Pouring rain so pretty much a day of staying indoors anyway.

Also stopped taking my medication to see how it goes. If I start to go crazy it's because of that. :p

I have a bunch of old medical expenses to claim through work, think I should do those and get it over with. Apparently you can do it online now, going to check into that. I've been putting it off since it's so tedius, but the money will be nice. :p

Stomach flu blows, man. So does golf ball to baseball size hail. The rest of the week should be fun.
