How To Vlog Your Life | Better & More Often

[@exhibente6803]

I’m not going to lie, I always thought vlogging was for narcissists that wanted attention but the vlogs I watch nowadays are really people that are just capturing moments, whether they upload them or not, and that is so beautiful

[@REALFLAMBO]

Yes I felt the same, I felt so self obssessed when filming myself but and sure there is a glimpse of it, but when telling your story it is so much more in reality, peopel actually care about reading and looking at other peoples lives, to get inspired, to learn and to give back!

[@valeriel.3017]

I've been vlogging for over 5 years now but haven't posted in fear that people view my work as self-obsessed. I'm lucky to be surrounded by supportive ppl who know me and my passion that it's become second nature for me to have my camera out, not because I want attention to myself but rather I genuinely love capturing moments and romanticizing life. It's beautiful and inspiring to see so many creators do the same, I'm looking forward to the day I can share my life and work too:)

[@jonathanxtapia]

Being a father of 2 kids and having a full time job, I’m still struggling finding my balance. I’m just glad I finally started, it was me literally telling myself years that I want to start. I’m getting the hang of it, but I did tell myself when I get to 1000 subscribers I plan to buy my first Sony camera as a gift.

[@JasonZhao]

Congratulations! The first step is the most important one

[@khalilismyname]

Congratulations 🎊 on the journey and have fun i have found the balance by also getting the kids to join and help. They always have great ideas too.

[@BtrDaze]

Don’t find your balance. Find your extreme.

@@leonhatori Thanks so much ♥

[@carlylifting]

This is great! I'm so sick of hearing people say you HAVE TO stick to a niche, have some sort of script, teach the audence something, etc... Some of us just enjoy vlogging our lives and using the process as a creative outlet. These were such amazing tips, I needed this boost of inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed :)

[@Jay-b7h7i]

Self-doubt is one of the biggest enemies. I just need to learn how to overcome it!!!!

[@REALFLAMBO]

100%

[@Tiatherose]

You have to just start! Stop looking for perfection and just start .. you get better as the time goes on but if you are waiting to overcome it you will never start babe! Turn the camera on and create something 🩷 you got this

[@Iris_Sunset]

I’ve been vlogging since I was 12 or 13, I’m going on 20 now and I’ve never uploaded them anywhere, but there’s something so beautiful about being able to look back on all the memories whenever. I haven’t done any cinematic shots or used a good camera for videos yet, but that’s the plan in the future

[@ThePopcornNero]

literally started my vlogging journey today👋🏻

[@JasonZhao]

hope you never stop having fun with it

Thank you! Staying on that weekly grind

[@rsvzn]

started my journey recently and i love bringing my camera everywhere. it is very enjoyable and inspires me to get out my comfort zone!

[@REALFLAMBO]

You got this, keep at it!

[@bairstories]

I agree with your statement about reflection and sharing feelings and thoughts.

[@chencardoza]

One things stresses me out in making videos is the music. The copyright is just stressful.

[@AKSDOGS]

Totally agree with you!

[@_andy_lou]

I know what you mean fr. Selecting music can super stressful. If you have the budget I suggest using a platform like Artlist, Storyblocks, Epidemic Sound or musicbed for music. I’ve used storyblocks before and currently I’m using epidemic sound.

[@ruthburrowesRD]

Me too! I just bit the bullet and went with epidemic sound for peace of mind

[@buddyxunholly]

youtube has great free library!

[@LYVSWORLD]

love this video! so simple and straight to the point yet still informative on how to be better at vlogging all together! 10/10

[@ImStinaG03]

Using my phone to start, I’m going to start today! Thanks for being so inspiring

[@JasonZhao]

You got this

[@nykenjee]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@itsBrianNatalie]

yeh you actually inspired myself and my now wife to start again. We were following channels that inspired us back in 2016, until things happened and we stopped. I have been posting weekly consistently since we started doing this again and honestly, it's been great! Now we even have more of a reason to start doing this to capture moments in our life that we can re-watch later on. I agree, continue to improve each vlog, I finally upgraded my gear (I was using a GoPro Hero 4 silver previously! to another action cam because it's just easy (DJI Action 5). I'm ahead in content by about 6 weeks and finding time to edit is the most challenging part!. Keen to see where we will be many months from now!

[@whereischino]

just wanting to journal my adventures is exactly why I started vlogging. 7:40 is exactly where im at right now, thanks for sharing!! 🙌

[@heyrowshell]

Found this video randomly, but this vid made me a fan of yours. I love your advice and color grading, and I'm excited to keep vlogging

[@nakishawynntv]

Your storytelling is phenomenal!

[@newconor]

Honestly very simple tips but things that are very over looked or over complicated. I found this video very insightful! Thanks for the knowledge

[@nykenjee]

This is such a great message! Thank you for sharing, I’m starting over from square one simply because I love doing this! ❤ keep going everyone!!!

Dude, this was great ! The way you described you being the string that connects all of the things in your videos is how I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and I’ve only heard a few people describe it that way it’s good to know I’m not the only one.

[@JasonZhao]

it’s a great way to see it

Great video, got a ”aha” effect when you said that need to describe the emotions. Keep doing that great content!

[@leapnlarry]

We just vlog with a DJI action 5 and mic 2 x 2 connected for my wife and I. I have a Sony a6500 but too much of a pain to use, there are better options for vlog tripod holders. iPhone is a great way to vlog when you dont have the main camera with you just have something to get good audio to sync. larry

[@JasonZhao]

absolutely, best camera is the one you got on you

Great video bro keep it coming

[@LibbyEstrella]

Excellent tips ❤😊 how do you manage to change lenses when there is something unsoected that you want to capture? 😮

[@JasonZhao]

If it’s happening too quick I’ll just use whatever I have in my hand, I try and plan ahead and slap on the right lens before leaving the house but I also will change my lenses in the go if needed

[@samuelleslie2861]

have you had any issues with the 17-70 interfering with the ibis of the a6700

[@JasonZhao]

I’ve never noticed anything from the year of shooting with both

[@harrybpoker]

Amazing video man

[@TheClimbToImprovement]

dude awesome video im trying to get ready to vlog trips i take like one coming up at the end of December at MAS ICNA and this video helped a lot. Also I js got the dji mini 3 should I be fine flying around for how you took the drone shots in the video or should I get my part 107 first?

[@epiceli04]

Does the ulanzi tripod hold your setup with the 17-70 mounted? Ive been wanting to use mini tripods but the balance issue is too big and I can't find one that will support the weight of the 17-70

[@JasonZhao]

It does, I was out using it today!

[@amufoodie-ian]

What filter do you use for filming?? Looks so nice!

[@JasonZhao]

I use a vnd from k&f

[@Simone.Alexxis]

How are you getting that warm-ish color? Is it the filter on your lens? I looooove it!

[@JasonZhao]

the filter is a vnd: amzn.to/48eyfvo but the warm ish colour is from editing

[@gracious_sibiya]

I just started Vlogging recently and I'm still so scared about everything. I love documenting my life and all the moments with all the people I love but certain times I wonder whether I'm doing a good job or not. I'm just so scared and I don't even know what I'm scared of. Could it be the fear of the unknown?
