I am not goot at making TV becaus I am not making TV. I don't do this full time. I don't have Writers, Cameramen, Producers, Actors, Advertising, Designers, etc... I also don't have any budget for my video blog. It is not a matter of skill or knowledge. I have taken television production classes. If i had a team of people working full time on my vlog, you better believe it would have very high production standards and perhaps resemble television more closely. Do I like TV? YES! I love the show prison break, and Law & Order...but do i hate the parasitic way that they use everyone and everything in the industry? yes... It is not a matter of them being professionals, because the moment you gave one of those professionals a camera, computer, and internet connection and told them to go make an extremely compelling vlog alone, it would end up being just like (if not worse) than ours. but is that what we are after? a feel of fabrication with high production standards and prececicely calculated design, humor, or marketability? I know that I love the reality of vlogs. The fact that people are making these things alone. I am sick of being a market for television, I am ready to be treated like a person... That doesn't mean that I don't think that good lighting and skilled editing is something that only television should have. I think we can learn from their accomplishments and avoid what we see as mistakes. thank you. -- Josh Leo joshleo.com stonefarm.blogspot.com joshspicks.blogspot.com vlogcats.blogspot.com wearethemedia.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
