What's up everyone my name is Jake Frew and I've been on kind of an unofficial
hiatus from YouTube lately I want to talk about that in today's
video but long story short the vlog is back!
Back around the holidays earlier this year, or last year, I took a trip to New
York City for the first time in my life. I went with my friend Will and I just
wanted to film everything. I was inspired by everything around me I was excited to
make videos. I was making Instagram stories, I wanted to make a youtube video
about it and by the time I got back home and was reviewing the footage a couple
weeks later, I just was having the hardest time putting together a video.
Just from the time that I filmed in New York City to the time I started editing,
I had learned so much about my camera and how to film that I was a little
disappointed in some of my footage, and the storyline just wasn't lining up. I
didn't have a cohesive plotline for my video. Anyways I guess that's it. I
haven't thought of a storyline yet so I guess we'll just talk about what we're
doing. I still no New Years Eve plans yet. We gotta
figure out what to do on New Year's Eve. But that's okay because we're in the city of
opportunity. Is that what they call it? No I dont think so. I think it's the
city that never sleeps. City of dreams? Speaking of which, Will went to bed at 6 a.m.
last night! We made it to Times Square. I'm just kidding it's not New
Year's Eve Will get in here! No. Why not? And so because
of this I just sat on the footage and didn't do anything with it
Casey Neistat in one of his videos says... he says "Don't let perfection get in the
way of good enough" and that's exactly what I was doing I haven't posted on
YouTube in months because I didn't have the perfect New York City video that I
wanted. So that's why I'm here today, I wanted to talk about following through.
And if you have a creative project or an idea any work of art, just finish it! Move
on, post it, because I think especially for the situation I'm in, I'm making
videos because I love it and because I want to improve. If I'm never posting a
video because it's not perfect, I'm not gonna have the chance to just keep
improving as I post more and more. So my story line's not good, I'm not happy with
all of the footage I got, but here's the New York City vlog!
We rode a helicopter today. It was super sick. We rode ferry today. Not quite as sick.
What? That was just as...okay it wasn't as sick. But still stick.
