I Got a GlideCam for Vlogging!

I create videos for my own YouTube channel.

Thanks to this video by Matti Haapoja, I discovered GlideCams. I’ve now discovered they are near impossible to stabilize, and can already see it being a dust-collector in my office. Damn.

Here is my recent video of me doing a ‘mail-opening‘ of my new GlideCam.

I shot the footage two days prior, then spent too long adding sounds and visual effects. This is video 1 of 3, unboxing and building. Video 2 will be balancing, Video 3 will be testing on Kangaroo Island beaches!

Yes, so it’s a tad messy in places. I see each of my videos as a learning curve in some aspect of vlogging. The plus-side of this one? Each of the ‘subscribe, notify and like’ graphics buttons were created during the post-production, then chose an appropriate sound, then save them individually, then insert at correct moments. Now I have each available to simply insert into future videos. High fives all ’round!

POSTSCRIPT: I wanted to be a day-vlogger, but parenting and real world activities make that nearly impossible. Sometimes I upload two videos a week, but it’s more like once a month.
