I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a video blog for a while now and decided a couple of days ago to give it a whirl. It’s been an interesting experience… so far removed from the world of scripted dialogue/synopsis based pieces I’ve been used to. Even when doing an interview, you have something to work from as you are responding to questions put before you… but to speak and it to be free flowing without prompt/exterior direction is not as easy as it looks.
Damn hard in fact! Especially if you are trying to focus on a particular subject and trying to remember points you want to get across.
But personally, I think if you’re going to do this then it should be from the heart and real, not scripted. This is what I wanted mine to be and I guess that is exactly what I got.
So here is my very first video blog, with no cuts or edits or polish. It’s incredibly raw and not word perfect, I ‘um’ and ‘ah’ and make mistakes but isn’t that what we all do in ‘real life’?
The subject I talk about is The Death Chair Confessions as I wanted to give a little insight into how this project was conceived. I guess just like the project itself, this video blogging experience was never meant to be comfortable…
I’ll be interested to hear what people think…

NOTE: The video quality is shit, but isn't that always the way with youtube and their bad compression?!
