Lately I have been watching quite a bit of youtube vlogs, and I'm debating whether or not to switch this into a Dan Brownish sort of vlog, where I discuss topics of varying seriousness, and maybe do some sort of other video type. So far I can't solve a rubix cube or some sort of epic stunt, so it will probably just have to be something dumb....like talking backwards while recording and then reversing the track while doing stunts that make me look like a ninja. Here are my pros and cons so far...
:) People would rather watch a purdy video than read a bunch of words about 95% of the time.
:) Youtube is a pretty good location for vloggers. I am very knowledgeable of the Tubes and how to potentially have some sort of impact to someone somewhere in the universe!
:) I like editing videos. And coming up with catchy clever things to do.
:) Along with scripting, I could add a bit of improv here and there. If I'm just chillin in front of a webcam then I got this. No pressure to come up with immediate responses that would be necessary in face to face conversation.
: /It takes a lot of self-promotion and luck to get influential, regardless of what I do or where I'm located.
:( Society expects you to look your best when you are being viewed. Do I really want to spend 2 hours with hair and makeup just to sit in front of my computer for a few minutes?
:( Location. I don't live near anything fun to do. The likelihood that there will be a great youtube gathering anywhere remotely near me is insanely unlikely.
:( Noobiness? I haven't ever vlogged before. I would have to find a good editing software and mess with the lighting and sound and all that other crap.
:( I do not know if I will have enough ideas to be able to create a steady and remotely predictable production of videos. I tend to be random, which quite frankly does not fly in that sort of community.
:( I'm 14 for goodness sake! Do I have enough time to do all of this?
I want to know what you think I should do. Should I just stick to my random writings in a journal like fashion, or get into more stuff like my stance on art, movies, games, philosophy, and religion? Should I start making videos or stay here? Should I do both? Should I eat an entire package of mentos and guzzle down 2 cans of coke? LEMME KNOW KTHXBAI.
