The Cowationart, self-worth, video, vlog
This summer, I set myself the goal of going multi-media with the blog, so I am excited to present my first vlog post! The subject is valuing your artistic work and bringing it together with your identities. I apologize that there is currently no transcript because I did not yet have time to create one. After the jump, you can read some fast facts about the video-making process. Enjoy!

All About This Vlog:
– It was originally 15 minutes long! Not because I wanted it to be that way, but because I just talked on and on without a script and then cut it down.
– I wanted to do an “interview with myself” style at first, but thought that would be boring, so I emulated some other vlogs that I had seen (albeit not as well, probably)
– The camera quality switches in this video because my point-and-shoot died and I had to use my boyfriend’s DSLR to finish up the rest [he also did an amazing job cleaning up the sound quality disparities in the videos, whoo!]
X That should also explain the black ghost in the screen – my point-and-shoot has dust in it, which I didn’t know was possible…
– I did almost all of the editing in Windows Movie Maker, which is super basic and frustrating. My boyfriend finished off some stuff in Soundbooth (sound), which I wish I could have someday…

    Some editing was a bit choppy, and I found the text to be slightly distracting at times (but usually entertaining). Overall, it was a great vlog, and a good length.
    The responses at the end were bad-assery on par with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyQ_IKkAM9I

    Thanks! I think editing is the hardest thing for me to pick up – next time, I'm planning on scripting a little bit more and testing out some different styles. And using the same camera so it's more consistent.
