I’m up early this morning – I’m picking up our friend, Karl Sterling, from his B&B in Mundesley and taking him to Gunton station to catch the 8.45am train back to London.
I arrive at the B&B on the dot of 8.20am, as arranged, and we are at the station in plenty of time.
Its vlog day today, and I’ve decided to make a departure from my usual subjects of Parkinson’s Disease and medicinal cannabis. One my YouTube followers has been asking me for quite some time to do a vlog about me, my car, where I live, etc., so I have decided to do just that. I wander around the village with my video camera, shooting life in Southrepps to go with some video that I shot yesterday while I was out and about with Karl.
When I have a rough idea of what I’m going to show, I write myself a script to link the various shots together, and then film myself. I have a few problems with my voice initially (weak and strangling my sentences) resulting in a few re-takes but, generally speaking, I have fewer problems than I usually have when I film my vlog.
Editing is far more complicated than when I’m just doing a straightforward piece to camera, and I still haven’t finished when my wife arrives home from work. I finish it off and upload it to my YouTube channel while my wife goes to Lidl in North Walsham to get some groceries.
I’m feeling shattered after quite a late night last night, so I plan to have a reasonably early night tonight!
