Vlogs 2017
Video Logs
___
Last year, I intentionally created a few vlogs on my trip to Paris. I wanted to experiment filming with my iPhone 6S as a medium for storytelling, and make films with the intention of posting to Instagram.
I continued to make vlogs in 2017 to see where it would take me vlogging 7 days overall this year, as compared to my 9 from 2016.
This year’s vlogs consisted of a getting a new couch from Ikea, the OSCON convention in Austin, a Next City Vanguard conference in Montreal, and PARKing Day in Anchorage.
Here’s this year’s collection with a reflection at the end. Enjoy!

Reflection
I’ve learned that personal projects and events are pretty conducive to vlogging.
I like vlogging on my smart phone because it’s less intrusive — people don’t mind a phone to a full on DSLR and all it’s gadgets.
Of the vlogs I created this year, I was very strategic about my Montreal visit.
I had the schedule for the entire 3 days, and shot footage based on what happened in the morning and in the afternoon. I feel that it made for a much better story, and gave me time to enjoy Montreal when I wasn’t vlogging.
This year, I started experimenting with this with my Shorties collection which is more documentary-based with some vlog elements here and there, but leaning towards films. I want to continue vlogging, but now I’m starting to shift to my DSLR and making things a bit more cinematic.
More to come in 2018.
