Girl on Film~~4KCBWDAY5

Day Five (Friday April 26th): Something A Bit Different
It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post or write in verse. You've already stretched your wings with an infographic, now it's time to freestyle. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There's not too much guidance for this one simply because the more varied the posts are on this day, the wider the sources of information for other bloggers will be. Bonus points if you manage to work your house animal in somehow.

No Makeup, No Script, No Problem

I knew immediately that I wanted to do a vlog or video blog. Thought it woud be nice for those who have never seen or heard me to do so. I never used the camera that I have on the computer, and was a little intimidated by it, but it turned out to be easy to use.

After a tiny bit of practice, I recorded this lightly planned stream-of consiouness chat on Wednesday night in one sitting. I did the annotations last night.

Take it away, me!

 

Overall it was a lot of fun, so I may do another vlog in the future. I'm really learning a lot this week!

In hindsight I probably should have fixed up more and been better prepared, but I suppose I wanted to give you my version of cinéma vérité. I'm shocked that I went over nine minutes. Patrick thought it was funny and a good first effort, but I said too many ummmms. 

Hope you like it.

Thank you for sharing with you ! So brave to record a blog, you're amazing ! I love your hat and the lace cardigan is amazing ! I'd definitively would love to knit it with the hood, someday ! I hear you on buying a pattern that makes you nervous because you have to find the needle size by yourself, it happens but sometimes we just have bad days and wish life could be made a tad little be easier. And that blanket is huge ! Will keep reading and watching you, it's so interesting to learn about knitters in others countries. Hope you're dramas got sorted out, I found knitting to be really helpful through dark times.

Thank you for sharing. I know what you mean about transferring.

I totally love your sock hat, and now I want to dig up some sock yarn and try it. I love to have a project on the go that I can do while watching a movie or in the passenger seat.

Your vlog is excellent! I did a video for today as well, after a few takes, I realized it would help a lot if I wrote down some bullet points of what I wanted to say first, haha.

Wow! You are so lovely "in person!" I could see sitting down and having a nice cup of tea and knitting or crocheting with you. Yes, please do more in the future. I need to go look up the patterns for both the sock head hat and that lovely sweater.

I love it! You are brave and charming (I wouldn't worry about the makeup- you look great)...if the pooling starts to bother you, you can break the yarn - I had to break the yarn three times on a sock once (the second one-the first one was smooth). You look amazeballs for 50! you go! :)

Brave girl! And your title so had "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran running through my head....nice job on the vlog! It is not something I have been brave enough to try yet...

You did a great job! I really enjoyed seeing your WIP's. Love the hat and sweater that you chose to wear for the vlog.
