Prepping to Make Vlogs Again
Once upon a time I use to make vlogs. They weren’t popular or anything, I just had fun doing them. Sometimes I did unboxings, (geek) hauls, snack taste tests, and just random geekery. But I haven’t made a proper video in FOUR YEARS. So, why did I suddenly stop? Life. A lot of things happened at one time, and the jobs I had the last few years were draining me, then I no longer had internet.
This year I finally got steady internet back, and have been getting back to this blog a bit, but I still haven’t gotten back into making vlogs, even though I want to. Part of the problem has been my battle with depression, and my lack of self confidence. The other part is not having a proper space to film in.
I’m currently leaning towards filming in my office space. It’s one of my favorite spaces, and I have a futon set up in there. I could sit there, with my plushies on top the futon, my TARDIS pillow by my side, and my small shelf next to the futon with some funkos, small games, and books.
One of the things I’ve been thinking about doing is a “Geek Thrifting” series, because on my trips to Goodwill I end up finding some pretty cool stuff. I may also get into TikTok with that, not sure yet.
Now, I’m not a fancy YouTuber with equipment, because I don’t make money for that kind of stuff. But, I have decided to pick up a cheap ring light & tripod, so that way I won’t have to go through my ridiculous set up, and lighting issues, that I use to deal with. I’m not sure when I will start up again, but I hope it will be soon. I just need to work on my mental health, manage my time better, and get things set up.
