Honestly, I didn't have any video plans this Friday. Usually I have the video recorded and edited BEFORE Friday rolls around, but this time I was at a loss. I don't know how it happened, but I just couldn't get anything together in time. Thus, being pressed for time, I decided to revisit my roots and do a random vlog-style video in the tool shed. The beauty of these kinds of videos is that they require little planning or preparation, no location changes, and no costume changes. Oh, and no script. That's where the editing comes in handy: it's easy to cut out all the boring parts. (A script minimizes boring pauses.)
The only real plan I had was to try my rapid talking experiment. I've done this in front of the mirror before, but that's not as big of a deal. I wanted to try it in front of a camera. What is it about a camera that makes your brain blank out? The experiment went okay, but not as well as I hoped it would. I paused too much, wasn't fast enough, and relied too heavily on stall words such as "Um, like, you know," etc. I'll face it: I'm just not a natural-born talker. I'll keep practicing.
I've wanted to do a vampire-themed series for a while. I was reminded of this because Twilight and vampires popped up in my spiel. We'll see what happens with that.
Buckle your seatbelts and hold onto your fangs, kids.
