So it's been about a week since my last post.. been really busy with work and family as well as feeling under the weather. But I have been quite productive in that time.
First off I set up the pumpkins for my boys to carve for Halloween, as well as carving my own little one. Above is one side of my pumpkin and below is my traditional scary face carve.
Next pumpkin is my 5 year old son design.. I love his eyes and he also wanted it to have a tongue, which is the little bit coming out of its mouth.
And finally we have our 3 year old sons design, with a really sweet tear. Well done to my hubby for the carving of these two.
Both the boys had a wonderful time trick or treating and came home with quite a haul of sweets from our local area. Might even keep them going until Christmas.
A lot of my little bits of spare time this week have been taken up with researching vlogging. I have come across some really useful you tubers that are helping me plan out and really think about how I want to start a venture like this. My inspiration for wanting to start making YouTube videos is Clare Siobhan and AliA. Honestly I only started watching YouTube regularly after I started playing Pokémon Go App back in July this year. One of Clares YouTube videos was posted up on my local Pokémon Facebook group as she was in my home town. So when I later decided to look up Pokémon Go on YouTube I found AliA, Clare's boy friend, who was posting new videos almost every day.
I really liked watching these videos as I couldn't go out and play the game myself as much as I wanted, and it also gave me information to help when I could play. So I subscribed to AliA, my first you tube subscription, and then I also found Clares YouTube channel, just as she left her job with Xbox to become a full time YouTuber. Chare started a YouTube series on the new updated release of Skyrim, which is a game I already loved on Xbox 360, and has made me really want to buy the re release on the Xbox One, with better graphics, all the Downloadable Content (DC's) and Modification (Mod) ability.. I just have to wait until payday, but it the meantime I am playing it on the Xbox 360 again.
Clare doing this has made me want to share my gaming loves with others, and who knows.. down the line maybe even a little bit of pocket money. But my main goal is to share and entertain. But I don't just want to jump in and get it all wrong. So I have been watching some more YouTubers who's channels are all about advise when you make a YouTube Channel. The first one I found was Video Creators who has also lead me to Alloy Seven, and I am currently trawling through their videos to glean what advice I can before I make the plunge into the world of making YouTube Videos.
The other thing I have done is work out what platform I can record on with the limited resources I have, ie, a PC laptop, an Xbox360 and One, a Wii and WiiU.. the main problem I have is I currently can not record more than 5 minutes of Xbox One game time (by using the inbuilt recording feature) as I need a HDMI splitter and a capture card to record it onto my laptop the then be able to add voice over commentary. Also the only video recorder a have is my phone, and the webcam on my lap top... so, VERY limited resources.
So, given all this I have a bit of a game plan in mind... but as I have to go and do family things right now, I will tell you about them next time.
See you soon.
