11 PROBLEMS THE FIRST TIME YOU VLOG

Diehard Amayzine readers will know that I recently spent a few days in Barcelona. Don’t remember? Check this out. Something you had yet to find out about my trip is that I made my very first attempt to vlog. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on what way you think of it) it’s all in Dutch so it won’t be posted on this site. But anyways, since vlogging has taken the online world by storm, I decided to give it a go. And it’s easier said than done.

So hereby, all the things that go through your head the first time you go vlogging…

1. Alright, alright. Here I go. How do I start this off? Hey all you guys? Hiiii, here I am? No, my god. DAFUK do you start off vlogs?

2. You grab your camera and you talk – uh, about what really? Maybe I should try it out first?

3. Suddenly I’m really conscious of myself. Do I always have a lazy eye when I talk? I can’t wear my sunglasses during all my shots now can I?

4. Hmm, my first I’m-walking-outside-and-talking-to-my-camera is so awkward. But okay, five takes later and I’m in the zone.

5. Why didn’t I realize I wasn’t looking at the lens? Smart, Kiki, smart.

6. Shit, I just filmed this vertically. Read: can’t use this at all. Read: hate my life.

7. Does Photoshop exist for video content? Can SOMEONE do something about my double chin? Thanks.

8. “Babe, can you film this again so that it looks like I am semi-spontanoeously walking over your way? The light wasn’t good the first time.”

9. “No babe, one more time please. I’m just going to put my hair down.” And in the meantime you drive your boy mad.

10. Shit, too dark. And why didn’t I film this and that while I was there?!  $%&*@

11. Mounting all of this content is a bitch. There. I said it.
