I kind of have to chuckle at how jaded so many people in this thread
seem to be, talking about videoblogging as if it's a bum-legged horse
that you can't bring yourself to take round the back of the barn and
shoot in the head.
To people like me - and, I think, the world at large - serial
videoblogging is still a shiny new thing with a lot of untapped potential.
I can see why it might be old hat to people who've already been
immersed in it for a couple of years...
... wait a minute, no I don't. The medium's only a few years old, and
people are moaning and groaning and rolling their eyes. Maybe I come
from a generation with a slightly longer attention span, but I just
don't get it.
"Vlogging is sooooooo last Tuesday! So is streaming! The latest thing
is a high-intensity laser that shoots right out of your monitor and
etches the video directly on the back of your retina! EVERYTHING worth
watching is going in that direction, you'll see..."
If someone is bored with the medium, I can only imagine they're not
using it to its best potential. Art isn't about aspect ratios and
codecs and kilobytes per second... it's about what you DO with all
that crap.
The medium is not the message. The right artist can create a
masterpiece with a handful of crayons and a roll of toilet paper...
but that doesn't give the crayons and toilet paper any intrinsic
artistic value.
