So you know Valerie Morris as a social media marketing expert and she wrote the
book on influence but she also has 6 goats lives in a cabin. Pretty awesome.
She wants to know how to vlog. Well I've learned from some of the best and so on
this video, we're going to talk about how to learn to vlog like a boss. So I've
created some pretty awesome vlogs and that's just not in my own opinion, they're
really fun. I shown to people and they really enjoy watching them. I'm not going to
tell you about what I do, I'm going to show you how I learned it so you can
learn it the same way that I... Alright that sounds good. When I watch
videos, I can't help it. My mind picks videos apart and I just learned and I'm
thinking how do they film this. How did they... What cameras did they use? How do they
do that lighting? I'm just okay I'm always figuring it out. And so these are
actually they become friends of mine. I filmed a couple episodes with them a
couple years ago and they have become masterful vloggers. So I haven't
seen the latest episode on their channel. Less junk More journey. Nathan and Marissa.
They travel around to a lot of national parks and so some of their vlogs are
just really epic and scenic and drones and they've really got a good
editing style. They just had a newborn. So I want to go back and look for the last
time that they were traveling. I know that recently they were in Alaska.
Alright, a magical moment. This has got to be a great vlog. Let's just watch. I
don't know if I've seen this episode or not but let's... Usually the first minute
of their their episode... There's not even a lot of talking but they just use so
many for camera angles. It's a lot of fun to watch. So we're just taking a chance.
Let's see how this one works up.
Full motion, zooming out. Got music. They're now using the time-lapse.
They pick good music like... There are the events Alaska. Sold or our visas. Okay, so
that 25 seconds on this video there wasn't any talking for that first
25 seconds. But yeah, I was entertained. I was too. So that's that's pretty cool
then he comes on. He is very conversational. This is Nate. Seward... Oh he
goes by Nathan, sorry. I'm late. My brother have drove about 30 minutes outside of
town and we've hiked up to the top. Let's just skip ahead. So he talks for a little
bit. He's in some different spots. let's just see what he does right here. Is it
more of the same? About here and they ended up being way over here. Around my
ledge though. Pretty cool spot.
Okay so the moral of the story that I'm trying to share is find vloggers - mm-hmm-
that do a really good job. When you watch it you're just pulled in and trying to
figure out how do they do that. I want to find another example
on their channel. Alright, so that one is in a real epic location. Let's go it
to the one that's kind of featured here on their home page. Let me open it
up to full screen. This is not a vlog. This is kind of a tour. So let's see
what they do in the beginning to make this have a compelling start.
That's cool. They must have Glidecam or some Steadicam to do something like
that and out now they're using the drone. There by an ocean so that helps. So even
though this is the tour of their RV, they're getting some scenic shots.
Setting the stage. Now they're standing right outside the RV. Check this out.
We're already 30 seconds... Some of the way... There you go... Alright, so these are some
vloggers that I really enjoy. There's other probably heard of Casey Neistat -
yeah. So many vloggers, copy, I do. I copy a lot of his techniques and styles.
Sometimes when when people walk past glass or a mirror, you can see their
reflection - yeah and you can see what camera are they using for this shot - okay -
or sometimes you can look at the whites of people eyes and see where do they
have lights set up? So you can you can just study and figure it out. So that's
the best way that I learned that I recommend that others learn how to vlog
and you want to see an experiment that I did?
Sure! So this isn't a vlog. But this is a filming strategy. I got to show you first
the video that inspired me. So I'm going to search here for the channel iPhonedo.
This really cool guy and he did a review of a drone. The Mavic Pro drone.
It should come up, yeah. So watch this intro - okay. This was impressive
to me.
After almost 2 years of waiting, it is finally here. It comes in two versions and pro.
I got the pro because of this. Hassle black camera with one extensive from Sony.
Say hello
There's a self on the watch- yeah.
Okay, so that was so surprising to me because I watch several of his reviews
but what I saw... When the new drone came, I was like, "Oh, I thought he is going to do a good
review. Yeah then I saw that intro. It's just like, "Whoa, he went above and beyond
for this one." I mean... Let's see how many views this this one got. He's up to
782,000. views. Okay, everyone did a review and so that's
probably why he went epic. Anyway, so... Wow! This was last fall but it is
stood out to me. I wanted to like, I want to try that - uh-huh- So I did one. This
week - okay - you want to see it? - yeah let's take a look. But it's epic but it's also
funny - okay - okay. You can tell me how I did. I've
discovered a breakfast cereal that completely changes breakfast nutrition.
Now I know this is a departure from what I typically talk about but this is epic.
Okay, I'm going to do something different. I'm going to invite you to come watch Ali.
Okay, so I'll just rewind it. Wait so where does that bring this up. Ali, why don't you
come and watch this with us? Ali is our videographer, she does amazing
work. Thank you. I've discovered a breakfast cereal that
completely changes breakfast nutrition. Now I know this is a departure from what
I typically talk about but this is epic.
What is the difference between this cereal and this cereal? It's pretty
exciting video. Pretty epic for cereal, right? Yeah, a lot more drama. Really setting the
stage. Okay, so the reason that I I went to that is really just trying to
convey that I see something that I like and I wanted to try. I wanted to try that
style for a long time and I've had a wonder if I can do that with a boring
box of cereal. And it was a lot of fun. I mean it actually took me 5 hours but
I never filmed anything like that. So the filming and editing of just that intro,
it's about 5 hours. Wow! But now I know how to do it. That's right. So now you
can do it again in the future. So that's what I recommend that you do for
vlogging. If you find somebody that you know vlogging about your property or the
different things that you're developing. I would find some vloggers that film
like that and look what they did in the past. Their older older episodes. Look
at what they're doing now and kind of how they've improved it and just try
things out. That's what I recommend. Great. So hopefully enjoyed this episode. I think
wanted to put a different spin and answer in a different way than other
people would. I'm curious who your inspiration is. You can't put links.
YouTube filters those out of my comments. But put their names. Who are some of your
