My New Blog

[Hamalas]

Hey all, I'm starting a new blog/vlog today and would love to know your thoughts and ideas. Here's the link: https://befranksblog.wordpress.com/

Have fun!

One suggestion: script - or at least outline - what you want to say and have it on the screen. Look at the screen, if not directly in the camera. You keep looking around, all "shifty-eyed" and I found it both annoying and I got the impression that you weren't being straight with me.

Hi Ben, Happy Birthday!

Enjoyed your video. Keep it up and produce more!

Blessings,
Ryan

Just to offer another voice (but not to undermine Ben's feedback), I thought your video presentation was just fine and being that it is your first one, I imagine they'll only get better.

Cheers.

I enjoyed it Ben, and eagerly await more.

Signed up to follow it. I see what Ben means, but on the other hand you don't want a zombie like stare at the screen. I think you managed this well and certainly look more honest that most politicians.

Thanks all! Here's my first "real" post: https://befranksblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/athanasius-on-the-psalms/

Maybe it's the hip way to video with mood lighting, but I'd suggest turning on the lights and filming in front of a plain background or a designed set.

I'm about the furthest thing from hip you could ever find; the lights are on, that's just as much light as we get over here in the British Isles.

Okay, last post on this, but I wanted to let y'all know that I've updated my blog a bit and here are some of the results: https://befranksblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/time-for-a-tour/
