Along Came a Vlog

Close followers may have noticed I recently started a vlog (to be updated haphazardly, much like this). It's an interesting experiment I decided to perform, and it turns out I quite like it.
You can find my channel here

The first thing you need to know about vlogging is that it can be quite difficult, and most of the time you feel like a whack-job talking to yourself in your room, the camera doesn't respond, and you often find yourself watching the screen to see how you're doing, which leads to a horrendous number of retakes, which leads to my second point of difficulty; the time. The two and a half minutes of my first vlog took roughly 90 minutes to film over the course of a day, with most of the time wasted sitting there trying to remember what you were going to say, scripting it in your head, and then messing it up when it comes to actually filming it.

The third problem is the sheer need for content, between my blog and vlog I'm going to start leading a more interesting life to find some interesting things to put out there, but hopefully they'll come along.

And now that I understand the difficulty of undertaking such a project, I must lead you to my friends over at The Indefinite Collab, who are really starting to get into their stride, and also, Harry (aka thescrotbag) who, in relation to my last post, is doing a Minecraft Let's Play.

Vlog should be up either tonight (March 7th) or tomorrow (March 8th), I start recording last Thursday, and have been bogged down with concert rehearsals since... You might notice a slight transition in clothing halfway through :L

Issue #2 of the comic should be here within the next few days, if Hannah ever gets around to it :P

Til then;
Over and out.
