JD´s World Of Vlogging - Vlog 7 is up if you want to check it

JD´s World

I Love YTtalk
Vlog 7 is upon the world. I would write a whole lot more but I am tired as hell, was on the bike the whole time it was uploading and oh man! Getting in shape is the devils work!!!

Any feedback at all is fully appreciated! No need to sub if you don´t want to! I don´t really sub 4 sub but I sub what I feel is sub worthy... OMG! That is a lot of the word sub, which is hardly a word for anything other than a grilled subway or a submarine... hmm nice work on my part on the whole "I would write but"...


Thanks for watching!

Hey Jonathan! I can't really think of any critiques, your lighting and camera look really good and so far you seem to have a nice personality which is good for vlogs :) If I could say something I would do some sort of editing to sort of help move your thoughts along more smoothly, not that you aren't well-spoken but it helps I think. One other thing, I don't know if it's smart to have 4 channels right off the bat before you have a steady following. I think you should figure out what you like doing the most (whether it's vlogging, music, or gaming) and keep it on one channel and as you hopefully grow then branch out. Hope this was helpful :)
 
Thank you for the feedback Stefan!

The lighting was done by opening up a word document, having it empty as hell and letting it shine on me since it´s white soft light and probably the cheapest light I could get at the moment hehe
I do like the camera I used for quick stuff but I really prefer to use my Canon 60D for everything I do. I just feel like viewers deserve the quality it offers.

Editing is something that is very new to me in terms of video editing. I am in the process of getting a new computer, takes time to order all the parts lol... With that computer I will get Adobe Premiere and then I will start learning all I can on how to make my productions more viewer friendly and entertaining. I do want that smooth editing where I am not gasping into the air looking for words or when I totally forget what I was going to say and a 2-3 second awkward silence happens lol So know that it´s being worked on!

I fully understand that jumping straight to 4 channels is quite ballsy/daring but seeing as I am focusing on the music and Vlog channel the most at the moment I just let the other channels "tag" along for the time being. Also one of the main reasons for having separate channels is so that I don´t mix Vlogs with music or mix Music with gameplay. It´s probably just the OCD in me that needs to have it organized separately lol

Thank you again for the feedback! It´s truly appreciated!

First off, there's ALOT of uuummm's in this vlog, that's my only criticism. Secondly, you have a CANNON??? I'll be sure not to walk on your grass!! Third, you've got a good presence, but this video didn't tell me anything specific, I didn't hear your music or get any actual opinions of yours in it, so I'm not going to sub off of this video, but I AM going to watch other videos of yours and see if I want to sub to it. You seem pretty interesting so I have a feeling I'm gonna like it. And lastly, I SUBmit to you my channel, which is also a music/comedy channel. lol hope you like it, I'll get back to you after I watch some other videos of yours.

I see you have no other videos hahahahaha.... Well I'll be sure to keep an eye out for when you post a new one and I'll tell you what I think!
 
I have a freaking Cannon and I am not afraid to use it :D

I KNOW MAN! The uuuummmsssss I have p**s me off so much! I need to edit such things out which I will do with Adobe Premiere! I swear on the life of my unused channels hehe

The first 6 Vlogs were done on my "old" channel. I would for sure upload them to my new one but I have a crappy 1mb upload speed and it would take days and days of uploading just to get the 6 vlogs up on the new channel! (unless there is a magic way that is not playlisting them available) therefor there are no other videos on any of my 4 channels. I suck, I know!

You heard a bit of my own compositions if you listened to the intro and ending bass line lol... but that was definitely not a song, so this sentence should not even be here hmm

I thank you for your feedback! Definitely keep´em coming! "the beginning of wisdom is the sentence I do not know" ...

LOL I LOVE your response, you've got a really fun personality, can't wait to see another video!

If you are starting out with video editing and are using After Effects in particular, I would recommend checking out videocopilot.net. It's a great site with tons of tutorials and downloadable templates. Just a heads up there.

Really keen on seeing how your 4 channels progress (haven't seen someone start off with a bang like that) and hopefully it all goes well for you.

Also, thumbs up for the YTtalk shout out in the video. That's very cool of you :D
 
Thank you for the website recommendation! I bookmarked it and I shall go through it as soon as I start using After Effect. Currently I´d be glad just to be able to edit normal vlogs which is convenient since there is not much happening in my Vlogs at the moment and they rarely require me to fire a gun into the air (sidenote, I would love to do that in a Vlog, just randomly shoot something... perhaps a wandering zombie comes into my bedroom, I think it´s a family member, turn around and WTF!!)... yea my mind goes into such directions, pay no attention haha

The Vlog channel will most likely be the one that is used the most to begin with since that is the "easiest" to do in terms of editing and what not (says the guy that can´t even edit out the "uuuummmssss" haha)
The Covers channel will be second... why covers and not originals you might ask! Well, frankly I am not that good LOL (looks at all the subscriptions fade away) But seriously, what I mean is, I am still developing as a composer of music and since I like almost all types of music it´s sometimes mind boggling for me to start on a lets say metal song and it ends up being a romantic pop song :eek: You will hear what I mean when I put up a song on the covers channel or even the introduction to the original music channel, just a taste of what is to come in terms of my insanity and obsession with music :D
The gameplay is a ...uuuuummmmmm vanity project? lol As in I like really good commentary on gameplay and I hope that I can achieve that with my gameplay+commentary+nubbness :cool:

Thanks for the thumbs up (here) for the Shout Out... I really feel like this website deserves more members, so far all I have seen from the members is dedication to all things video, great personalities and an immense helpful nature, who would not mention such a great bunch of people? WHO??? ;)

Alrighty, as you can see most of my replies are semi-blogs so be prepared for one of these each time you reply to things I say! I love social interaction over the interwebz and when it involves YouTube matters... Don´t get me started! I <3 YouTube!

Screw it man, I don't need to see another video, consider me a subscriber, you're just a freaking cool a** dude.
 
Me? A cool a** dude? Really? Did you watch your last chronicle? It was all "AAAAHHHHH" and "Hmm song is being born, lets make it better shall we" <<--That is epic-ness right there! Your energy, it´s contagious! (just writing the word made me want to ask you if you were infected with a virus... moving on)

I thank you for your decision on becoming my 9th subscriber! I will not let you down (or I will let you down but you won´t notice because it´s way too funny to see me crash and burn)... which can also be fun but that is definitely something After Effect..ee lol

I´ve got to step up my game in the music department after seeing the end of your Chronicle! That s**t was... just epic! The drums man! THE FREAKING DRUMS!!!...

Ok... Gonna grab a coffee and go work on my soloing skills haha (but I´ll secretly still be here, watching YouTube and seeing if I get replies... I´m not lonely! Not AT ALL!!!)
