Here’s a video from one of Manhattan neighbors…and newest favorite videoblogger.
She and her boyfriend went to his home in New Orleans…and shows us what it looks like:
VIDEO: …my medication saved me from crying…"
Josh and I were wondering last night how videoblogging will affect how we see the world around us. As more people learn to record and post things as they happpen….FROM THEIR OWN POINT OF VIEW….we will all think and talk about things differently because we will have different information than we get now.
A story like New Orleans will not fade from our memory because the 24-hour news networks decide it’s not a story anymore.
People can take up the story as their lives continue.
This is what we can do with videoblogging.
Hey! Thanks for the mention, I’m actually blushing. Although it wasn’t quite the first footage I filmed (the first stuff I filmed was pizza. It doesn’t move or talk back), that trip was the catalyst for my getting a camera in the first place. I think presenting varying POVs of events as they occur in real time is one of THE coolest aspects of this whole crazy videoblogging thing. The vastnest of it all…right there on your computer! Wicked.
I think videoblogging will really change how we model the world through storytelling.
Think of the documentary as it practiced in a feature or pbs doc. How much reality is shaped to fit the main story or character. Take two sides of an issue and bat it around. We call this “good editing.” What will a vlog doc look like? Open, questioning, conversational, exploratory, less eager to wrap things. My kids will look back at 20th cent. filmaking and chuckle at how clunky we were. Friggen babies…
True.
the flow is different.
The old way had gatekeepers who would sift through raw material and give us what thye thouight was best.
The new way has the web full of raw info that we get to sift through and make sense of.
remix.
many different persoectives coming from the same sources.
before we couldnt even agree on the facts of reality; now at least anyone can add ‘facts” into the mix.
juts pick up a videocamera.
