Trying my hand at Daily Vlogging

Well, I needed to get more comfortable with shooting video on the new camera I bought for my Media Studies class next year (a Panasonic Lumix G7 if you're wondering) and I ran across this somewhat inspirational YouTube channel encouraging people to try vlogging - every day. So I thought why now give it a try. Damn it's hard. Shooting every day, downloading from camera, editing, uploading, creating thumbnails and descriptions! Gave me a serious appreciation for the efforts of YouTubers who vlog daily - it's a serious grind. Anyways, here's my efforts so far over the month of December. I'd have to say that even in the 10 days I've made it so far I've learnt heaps about shooting video, and equally as much about editing.

2018 School Leavers Video

For the past 4 years now the teachers of Waiheke High School have partaken in a tradition of making a teacher's music video for the Year 13 graduates. I helped out with this year's offering by doing some primitive green screens and offering up my machine for last minute editing. I've been using Kdenlive on Ubuntu now for the past few months and I'm really liking it. Finally a robust video editing platform for Linux! Anyways, here's this years teachers video. Enjoy.
