Me Videos

Hmm... guess it's my only real outlet to the Internet world.. Videos and since people want that sort of instant gratification I guess it's the best way to go. The funny thing is I've got 75 friends on Myspace and those are mostly the people I know personally, where as I have only 36 subcribers on youtube, lol. No matter google picks it up and I hope I'm a least slightly more enertaining then the average seamstress. The big problem with it is that production takes so long, it takes me at least a day to produce even the simplest 4 min video, and I just can't cheat myself on lessen my quality anymore than I already do. I shoot my vids with my digital camera, and I totally cheat on lighting one maybe two, then I just change the setting in the editing on lightness and contrast, but I'm learning too. First I'm making videos to learn editing I know high production video shooting whitebalance lighting, and what angles and shots to shoot at and if I didn't Mark would hound me. Second I have my own style detached from Mark and his work, Video is serious business in our family so I would like to do better but it just doesn't seem worth it, high quality means I should be getting paid, playing around is what gives me a sense of where or in what direction to improve. One thing I've noticed with Vlogs is that there is very little point to viewing them at all when it is almost always the persons face, a few facial expressions hardly help to tell the story any better, people with hands that fly around have higher ratings and it's no wonder when there's very little action else where. So I've been doing a series on graphic design there are just tons of graphic design program videos out there and people always want to know how to do the tricks but have no foundation as to how to present them properly, so In my videos I talk basics I covered Marketing, Raster and Vector formats resoulution, and Logos Next I want to cover, Typography, white space compestion contrast and that's about it, I thought there would be a larger market for it because the rest has been done, and my videos directly coralate to all 2d art inculding video but because I don't put it in the title people seem to be lost as to how to use my info effectivly. The series will still help me when it comes to dealing with customers and trying to explain my purposes in how I create my art and why, instead of seeming demading trying to explain the art and why they shouldn't change certian parts of the work. I would have gone on to teach some corel but it's really not worth it without a demand from anyone that would use it. So I'll get that series out there and be finshed with it. Sewing seems to be the meat and potatos of it all. While I have created a character that really attracts the right scene this 50's house wife I'll have to move her from just bashing Mark's greenscreens to teaching useful knowlege about sewing while it's not entirely unuseful to use only blue and green fabrics I'm not sure I want to do that the whole time, the charater is able to be quite mouthy and sarcastic too, and I like that angry house wife deal, 50's attracts artys people with the rockabilly DIY style and I get to have a feminie quality while bashing the oppsite sex, I do get a little enjoyment out of bashing Mark, lol, trust me he deserves it. Then there's two other angles I've thought about first is the spiritual I did one on beauty a while back and it was really well recived then I've thought about doing more with the kids there's so many kids watching youtube having them do art or something would eventually get attention but mark doesn't really want the girls on the Internet, yes he's overprotective and the older one is wareing makeup now so maybe it's not for the best. Still the spiritual thing I wish I could just come out and say how I feel about things, that I'm not racist I don't disrespect other peoples religions or cultures that god is love and I don't understand why people love to hate other people or hurt other people, but just saying it isn't enough, to understand things people need to live them or see themselves question themselves living the stories what have you done what would you do how would you feel, so I need to write good stories or illustrate situations, the first one I did was a real dream I had so that was easy, much of my personal world I can't share with the public some is even aganist youtube policy so making up stories takes time.
