I made a vlog! It was actually a pretty easy and fun experience. Kat came over because I asked her to help me film and she was a huge help. Not only did she bring her camera, which is very good cause it doesn't shake, but she guided me so that I could make a better overall video.
We managed to film the entire thing, which was twelve minutes of footage, in about forty minutes. It wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. I've filmed vlogs before, but I realized that the key for me is having another person in the room. I get nervous when I talk alone to a camera. Here, I was talking to Kat. Also my parents don't barge into my room asking why I'm talking to myself if I have another person with me.
I torrented Final Cut Pro this morning because I though the vlog could be a good opportunity to try it out. It took me about half an hour to get used to it, but after that it was pretty easy and I managed to finish editing completely in about an hour and a half. I know that a lot of vloggers like to take out their "ums" and pauses, so for the most part I did. Only in some places I left them because they felt natural, and didn't make me sound completely stupid.
In the vlog I mentioned the oil paint I bought. Yesterday I went to blick for the first time and my original intention was to buy more white acrylic and more canvas paper. I ended up convinced my mom to get me oil paint. She said I should get a started pack with a bunch of colors, but I really just wanted the Payne's Grey and white. I also bought walnut oil and palette paper. Today and yesterday I played with my new paint. The main problem I have is that I'm out of space. My room is overloaded with art, and there is absolutely no where I could let any more oil painting dry. I could put them in my sister's room, but if I end up oil painting everyday I could very well end up in a sea of drying paint.
