There’s only so much you can convey with the written word. That’s why when I was in journalism school, we had assignments to tell stories not just through articles, but through information graphics, podcasts, interactive websites, and film.
Writing is my favorite medium. But to keep some of those other skills from entirely atrophying, I’m presenting my blog post today in video format instead.
In this vlog, I kept it light and talked about five awesome things on my mind right now. To be more specific:
- An anime, Natsume’s Book of Friends. Yes, I have more to say on that!
- A manga, Genshiken: Second Season.
- A video game, Long Live The Queen.
- A book, The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne.
- And a website: tomatoi.st which I JUST NOW REALIZE I typo’d. Oops!
One last thing: At the beginning I call this my second vlog. It’s true, but you really don’t want to see the first attempt. I was kind of nervous, and I look like I’m being threatened with torture off camera!
Let me know what you think, but please be gentle. I’m going to have to build up my confidence if I ever want to record another one! Video pros, what do I do to master this trendy jump-cut editing style?
