#26 Finland Vlogging & PTYA London

July 20, 2024 Ethan shares his first experiences meeting other video creators at the Part Time YouTube Academy meetup in London. It was shocking how much more could be learned by people only a year ahead instead of so advanced all their techniques had become invisible. And a surprise that should have been obvious: they were all incredibly fun to talk with! Highly recommend seeking out other creators in person as soon as possible. Next we share more vlogging lessons learned from Ryan’s first attempts recording at a cocktail conference, and Ethan recording his trip to Finland. Clarify what you want to get out of making the video Budget how much time on your trip you’ll dedicate to it Do pre-production planning, and start practicing that skill How to manage the overwhelm of all the clips you’ll make Dealing with smartphone HDR footage in editors & platforms usually designed for SDR Finally we discuss some vlogs we like and why. Question for the week: Ryan’s next story he wants to tell is a historical account from a black woman and would love recommendations of some black creators, authors, producers or directors he could learn from, and what you liked about their work.
