Ah that is such a loaded question... it's like asking..."What makes a good salad?" (please bear with me as almost all my analogies involve food or food preparation. I love to cook and it bleeds over).
There are so many ways to make a salad and no real set "WAY" I mean a salad has a couple of ground rules... it's usually cold, and made with fresh ingredients of some kind and has some kind of "dressing or sauce". After those ground rules are set... it's anyone's bag and I may hate a carrot raisin salad but I may adore an italian salad.... Even the way some people make the same salad can change my opinion. I adore my Mother-in-law's cranberry salad but I hate it when Aunt Helen makes it. So, what makes a good vlog is a hard thing to answer. I Love variety and my mood generally determines what's good today and what's good today may not be good tomorrow. I'm sure that some of my stuff isn't appealing to some... does that make it a bad vlog? of Course not. It means some people prefer other vlog material. What a wonderous gift we've been given as human beings... this lust and love of variety. Think about other animals that only eat specific things, only hunt certain prey or live in certain habitats... Wouldn't that suck? To be so llimited? I think for most of us we list the stuff we enjoy on our own sites under our show links. My list is ever expanding. There's just so much to see and then to link to it so other folks can enjoy it or not as they choose. I personally really enjoy that Most famous of Vlogs "Richardshow.com" But I also love Andy Carvin's vlog and they are certainly a small sample of the variety available in the Vlog universe. Variety, personal opinion, and a willingness to try something new..... These are the factors within myself that determine what is good for me.....but it certainly doesn't define what is good for someone else. My advice to anyone is always to explore. Check out as much as you can and create with your own special flair... Some people vlog sunsets, nature occuring as it occurs, and daisies growing. Some people would find that boring as hell. Get in touch with your inner film maker... film anything, everything, everywhere, anywhere... then watch your own footage... see what creative flow occurs. Sometimes you'll be surprised at what you yourself can create. Most importantly... Have fun with it. It's not worth doing if you're not having fun. Cheers!
