Batemans Bay again. There’s more, oh there’s more…
Batemans Bay. Early morning walk. Still half asleep.
An Instant Vlog is a videoblog post which was not planned, and has no overdubs. It is instant, ad hoc and improvised.
You can add any kind of text after the fact, including text titles and credits. You can also add video and audio filters, but you cannot add any video or sound or animation (e.g. credits) that weren’t filmed by the camera at the time of the recording.
Down with planned narrative, and down with pretentious home videos and short films. Improvise, show me something from your life that you had no idea was going to happen, or just turn your camera on and shoot first, define your boundaries later.
Once uploaded, tag it in mefeedia as instantvlog
Instant Vlogging. Do it! Do it now!
This is takes 2, 3 and 4 of my visit to a hilltop outside of Bega. Bega, home of cheese, Bega. Bega.
I was riding north of Eden in Victoria, when I hit this amazing sunset off the side of the highway. This video doesn’t do it justice. In fact it looks pretty crap. But that’s instant vlogging for you.
It’s funny, I spent a lot of time during my ride to Melbourne, thinking about videoblogging, without realising that the videoblogging list was at the same time arguing about Wikipedia. Well it has taken some time to get all the video from that trip down, but I’m finally getting to some of the more interesting footage, ironically about the definition of videoblogging.
This was shot somewhere near Eden, mid-way between Melbourne and Sydney. I just decided to stop for some reason, and record a rant. It’s fairly long, but please stick with it, as it feeds into some more related video over the next few days.
I haven’t read Wikipedia for 5 weeks now, and I haven’t read the videoblogging email group for 4 weeks. And you know what? It’s the best decision I ever made. Now if only there were an announce list instead of a discussion list… I want to know what’s new, but I don’t want the same old arguments over and over again, because I really no longer give a shit.
It’s a full moon right now, both north and south. Here’s both, and yet another remix of Ian.
I found the church with a copy of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and it was partially open, but once I’d checked with the tourist folks, it had been locked up for the day. When I was getting back on the bike, I turned to see this Josh Leo-esque tower right across the road, which I swore wasn’t there before.
