Vlog Soup: Episode 2

VLOG SOUP - EPISODE 2

Here's a new crop of videoblog posts that I found interesting.

Thanks for all the great feedback in comments and via email about Episode 1 of Vlog Soup. It encouraged me to put together Episode 2.

What I do to create this episode is watch a bunch of recent vlogs using FireANT, then when I see one I find interesting I 'flag' it.

After gather up a number of videos, I click and drag them in a folder. Then I import them into Final Cut Pro and select a representative section to highlight.

Next, I line up all the clips on the timeline and then, to save time, I record an intro to each one, direct to disk, using Sorenson Squeeze.

I recorded all the intros without checking each one and after I was done, I saw that a few of them had some capture problems. These problems make the intros look a little like the old Max Headroom. I like it! So instead of re-recording them, I'm leaving them as is...

It'll probably be tricky to recreate that effect for next time... We'll see...

Here's are the videos and vlogs that I've highlighted in this episode:

Annie
Reheating Pizza
I'd watch Annie reheat anything.

Tinkernet
New Shoes
Interesting way to hightlight a new purchase using stop-motion.

Crash Test Kitchen
Cabbage Roll
They go through a lot of work to cook a meal, on the road, in the dark.

Cafe Siena

Impressive graphics.

Himena and Juan - Living with Fallas
My favorite new couple's vlog. This couple's vlog reminds me of my own Carol and Steve Show. It's real, and funny. Nice editing.
