Hi friends! I have some exciting news for all of you. Yesterday I created a facebook page for my reviews. This will be a compliment to my youtube channel and I will post articles, videos and any other reviews I make. In addition, I will post any giveaways I can offer you my wonderful readers. If you are on facebook and can like my page I would greatly appreciate it.
My first such giveaway is starting today 4/9/14 and will be open until 4/22/14 which is Earth Day. This is sponsored by the great people at Ubox that make care packages for college students (and students of any age). They are a great bang for your buck and a wonderful company. http://www.ubox4u.com
The giveaway is for a bamboo ipad case. Click on this photo to be taken to the giveaway or this link http://tinyurl.com/lt9xjnn
I have also recently entered my first sample swap! It is a great way to get rid of items in boxes you can’t use and get to know fellow subscription junkies. To make your own swap go to https://www.facebook.com/SampleSwapShop
So please check out the facebook page, the youtube video and the giveaway and please take a look at u
Hi! It’s a ridiculous hour but I’ve been so engrossed in a project that I’ve been working through the night. For the last year I’ve been making youtube videos using just a webcam/phone and I enjoyed doing that but I felt I could learn so much more about photography, videography, youtube, creating an internet presence, video editing and so much more.
I’ve also yearned for a long time to do something more creative in my work, so maybe gaining new skillsets will help me in that regard. At the worst I am learning something new and having a good time along the way so win-win
It’s been a lot of work saving, purchasing and organizing but I’ve finally got almost all the pieces I need to make better videos and I set up a cool backdrop in my room.
One problem I have is my room gets very hot when I have the lights on and it is too dim even during the day to be a good spot for filming. There isn’t much of any space in the rest of the house to do the backdrop/tripod setup. The whole brilliance of my room is that it has total blackout but it does create problems for filming videos. I need to figure out a way to keep cool, so if anyone has any ideas let me know. I suppose I can just keep my videos short which is probably a win-win.
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to do a video on my blu-ray collection for a while and it seemed like this would be a perfect testing ground for the new equipment. I still have to get editing software and a better camera microphone but that’s around $500 so will do that when I can. Plus, I figure master one thing at a time. (Took me 6 years to get a handle on twitter, facebook, blogging, so I’ve got time).
It’s not a perfect video but I’m learning and I’m proud of it. If you watch the whole video I am giving away DVD copies of Gravity, Les Miserables and Captain Phillips. Also there is a BLU Ray 3D of Gravity if you are interested in that. Simply subscribe to my blog, follow me on twitter (or facebook) and subscribe to my youtube channel and email me your address. First come first served. If you already follow me on those mediums just share it with your followers. THANKS!!!
Thanks so much for reading my blog, watching my videos, and helping to give me the confidence to keep trying and learning new things. I’m so grateful for this blog- more than you all know and I hope maybe I inspire you to go learn something new. in your life.
Drumroll…the movie:
What blu-ray’s do you have? What do you think of mine? Any you dislike or like? Let me know. Take care friends!
