Vlogging: I think vlogging can be any video that focuses mostly on one or two people who are talking to the camera. There's usually an easy-to-identify theme across the video, which is the subject of the talking. Vlogs can be scripted or unscripted.

A very funny vlogger and talented storyteller. "Ghost in the Stalls" is, in my opinion, his funniest video. I watched it for the first time during study hall freshman year, and I still watch it occasionally. Watch it. |
Bowlcut Maintenance: 2016
Artist Statement
I chose to make a tribute to Hammish Patterson's "bowl cut maintenance.wmv." With my hair getting longer and longer, the timing seemed right. I filmed it in my bathroom, which doesn't have the greatest lighting, but I opened up the window and used the natural lightas well, which looked a lot better. I tried to film it at a really low angle, like the original video, but the angle ended up much less extreme than I was hoping for. I didn't script the video, because I wanted to get my genuine reactions as I was seeing my hair get cut off. If I had used a script, I think the whole video might be less organic and natural seeming. I wanted to show all or most of the footage of me actually cutting my hair, but because it was so long, I decided to speed up those sections. The super fast movement also adds a little to the humor of the video.
