How to look suspicious at night.

Because I felt like it, that's why. I love how much accidental innuendo snuck into my discussion of nerds. And no, I really couldn't see where I was going. It was a very interesting experience, particularly when a whole herd of cars drove past multiple times. I have never seen so many cars in this area in my life. It's like they knew I was outside doing something stupid.

I mentioned someone named Toby in this video. He's a really fun vlogger and you should check out his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TobyTurner

I feel so weird linking to him like that because he's the famous vlogger and I'm just a young rapscallion with a camera, but if I know my audience (and I do know 90% of you personally), you probably have no idea who he is.

Time Travel

New video, new understanding of how to make YouTube HD work for me, new room to film in.  More videos will be coming soon.  I'm looking forward to not having to put a framing device in again, but hey, I like this one.  Also, why does dry ice only come around when you have no idea what to do with it?

It's been a while!

Hey everyone!  I'm not dead, but classes are slowly blinding me with science (I see what I did there).  I have four videos all filmed up (well, one was pretty extemporaneous and it might get re-filmed to increase transmission of what I wanted to say and decrease transmission of emo) and I'm now actively working to start getting them edited and posted.  I hope to get the first one up by tomorrow, but no later than Friday.

I'm actually getting a little distracted from homework because I keep wanting to go edit my videos and script and shoot new ones.  This is not necessarily great for my academics, but I'm still keeping ahead of my homework, so Mom, Dad, don't get too worried.  This is, however, really encouraging for me, as I like this hobby (as I have written, facebooked, and talked about to no end for the last few months) and would like to invest time into practicing and improving and creating quality output.

Also, I've just been reviewing the footage of the video that even I recognize is emo and a little melodramatic, and you know what?  I like me.  Once again, I've probably said that before, and I know it must be getting old, but it's always a great feeling to get, especially for a person whose self confidence is so small it could win any limbo competition in the world.  Every time I watch a video I've made and find myself laughing or smiling, I feel some childhood wounds make progress on their final healing process.  Now I just have to wait for the first troll to find my videos on YouTube and start tearing them apart with hate comments.

Actually, I'm somewhat looking forward to my first troll, if he/she ever comes (yay awkward political correctness!).  It will hurt, but it will also a sign that random people are actually watching.

Alright, back to homework or video editing.  Like I said, keep an eye out for tomorrow or Friday.  It's gonna be totally awesome.  Or mildly awesome.  Or maybe just mild.  :)

Update: The first edit of the video is complete.  It will almost definitely be ready by tomorrow, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's shaping up.
