Re: [videoblogging] looking for examples of good direct to camera video diary type vlogs
I would recommend some of my own stuff: http://twittervlog.tv/popular-videos/ but i fear the language may be a little rich for 13 year olds. Ze Frank's The Show is a good place to start. Very creative to-camera videoblogging - it ran from 2006-7. He defined the style that you can see a lot of on YouTube now - with fake video diaries like Fred http://www.youtube.com/user/Fred and videobloggers you see popping up in the Most Viewed section on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/videos From this list, Mike Moon does a great regular video diary at the moment: http://vlog.mikemoon.net People like Ryanne Hodson and Michael Verdi did awesome video diary work from 2004-6. http://ryanedit.blogspot.com http://michaelverdi.com I'll let others jump in with specific examples of videos because I suddenly have to run to take my daughter to school!

Re: [videoblogging] looking for examples of good direct to camera video diary type vlogs
Now I'm back, I'll briefly add... most video diaries are not the classic to-camera video diaries that you see characters on TV shows films doing - those that are to-camera tend to be somewhere between being editorial opinions and stand up comedy. Personal video diaries online have tended to be more like classic home movies - people pointing the camera away from them, videoing the people and things around them, and then cutting them into simple sequences. Like Jay's video of his mother's last days, posted in November: http://momentshowing.net/2009/11/video-sure/ One of my favourite types of video diary has been the videoblog travelogue as mastered by Ryanne Jay - just filming moments without commentary or music and stitching them together - the natural sounds forming a rhythm: http://tinyurl.com/ryanne I have taught videoblogging to teenagers, and most of them were quite bored by videoblogs and video diaries - even those that I thought were amazing or funny. I figured that this was because most video diaries and blogs are by adults, about adult lives. This is one of the reasons Anne Frank is so accessible to young people - she's young. And one of the reasons why the nightmarish fake video diary of Fred, which I linked to before, has been so phenomenally popular - he's a kid. Ditto the other fictional phenomenon, LonelyGirl15...
