I don’t have much video experience, but I know for a fact that my most recent video needs some tender loving care, and I’m not sure the best way to go about doing that. The thing is, I want to delete the Button Consulting video so badly that I can practically taste the joy I would feel from doing so.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I would learn anything that way.
Therefore, I need to do more research and find out what it takes to create a visually and aurally pleasing video. I’ve done videos in the past, for school or fun, but they were even more simplistic than my most recent video where I actually appear. Below you can see the three most recent videos I have made… and the time gaps are pretty telling.

At some point, I think moving into the world of vlogging (video logging) would be a fun and potentially promising focus. Especially when you consider that more people prefer to receive information through sight and sound than they do in reading. I’m not saying that this is necessarily a good thing as I myself love to read, but I recognize that when you have an extremely busy life, you don’t always have the time to sit down and actually read.
Oddly, there are many resources available for people that are interested in vlogging. The one that I am most interested in; however, is what you need to like or be interested in to pursue vlogging:
|
1. Like Learning More |
YES |
|
2. Like Being on Social Media |
YES |
|
3. Like Planning & Commitment |
YES |
|
4. Like Viewer Interaction |
YES |
|
5. Like Filming & Editing |
…. Yes? |
All of the things they list that you should be interested in before attempting vlogs are things that I enjoy. It’s just a matter of whether or not I’m good at it. I’d like to say that I do well with all the above named requirements, but I cannot honestly say if that is because I am able to, or if that is because I really want to be able to.
I’m hoping that with enough practice… or even failures, that I will become better at making videos… but there is always a level of doubt.
