[I suck at vlogging]

post it so I can watch! 😊

[SO MUCH PRESSURE]

I think it definitely depends what the vibe of the video is like...I still wouldn't watch super shaky handheld footage because I just get nauseous, but that's just me 😂 Also, if something deserves to be "cinematic" then I still believe it should be captured beautifully! 

[What Inspires You?]

You and Vivienne inspire Atola Visuals 😍

[vlogging to distract ourselves...]

Totally agree. Sometimes I feel there's pressure to vlog and make it look "cinematic" but I wanna stop that and just vlog for me (even if I don't make it public). Almost like a video journal.

I think we've always been perfectionist when it comes to the "look" of anything we film, but documenting our journey in any form is probably more important! 😀

[vlogging to distract ourselves...]

It's photography for myself, but not the only thing I feel not doing. It is tough to even leave the house or bed, so some system is needed to help. I have research so it forces me out of the house, but what I've found to best change my mood, and fixes my body, is yoga. It is an amazing remedy! You'd still feel like you don't want to practice, and "getting on the mat is a hard thing to do" (said all instructors I've met). But try it, and make it part of your morning routine.

Yoga is definitely a great practice. I did Hot Yoga the other month and it literally felt like I was shedding so much negative weight off myself! 

[Your BIGGEST challenge...]

Really good advice here. I feel that we all need to remind ourselves from time to time that acceptance of ourselves is everything!

[vlogging to distract ourselves...]

I've been feeling sad lately, and vlogging random things throughout the day has helped distract me and gets me into flow-state. What I'm finding is that vlogging doesn't have to be this glamorously planned out event. 

 

In these moments, do you feel that vlogging and filming things makes you feel better, or do you feel like NOT picking up the camera at all?  

 

[Vlogging with NO face :)]

I think this is a fire technique that I use often. It breaks up the "monotony" of our faces being all up in peoples face for the whole video, and I think it gives a certain intimacy in the shot especially when you are talking about more serious stuff. Keep the tips coming homie!

Thanks, Terry for the feedback! Happy to see you here 😀

[Vlogging with NO face :)]

Lately, I've been watching a ton of cinematic camping vlogs, to which a lot of the vloggers tend to not show their face. I can see this being much more convenient when you're not trying to always make sure your hair and makeup is presentable and you just want to get the shot!

I'll be rolling out more vlogs in this style with closeup shots and voice over. What do you all think about vlogs with no face? 

 

[MORE VLOGS IN 2023!]

I'm with you on this Sidney! While I'm not going to overwork myself and do a vlogmas this year, I do plan on sharing a lot more stories and document more on what I do all day. Totally worth it to have this stuff to look back on since the years go by so fast these days 😀
