How to Vlog (Even if Your Life Isn't That Interesting) | Location Rebel

[@myquestformeaning8251]

I just started vlogging. I'm quite a different personality type to vlog I believe. I am very introverted and basically I have no meaning in my life, so at this point I don't really care that much and just share everything.

[@tinfoilisthenewblack8496]

Just subscribed to ya keep going man.

[@efficacygem]

Exactly what I'm doing right now.

[@IamLondonMikayla]

you matter to God and he loves you.

[@AnushaM-sc3ov]

Mee too, and my channel name i kept anunotebook it's like documenting thing in my book.

[@nehasiddiqui-bw1zb]

Why did you stop?

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,312 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@Dionne_Sheree]

Such a great video and this is such an awesome testimonial! Congratulations!

[@nathananderson8720]

@@Dionne_Sheree Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my KZbin channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a KZbinr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this KZbin thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)

[@DesireToTRADE]

Totally agree with watching other vloggers. Thanks for the tips, Sean! I think it's easier to let your personality flow in the videos over time.

[@LocationRebel]

Etienne! Good to hear from you man. Hope things are well. And yeah, that's been a big one for me. I've learned a lot of editing tricks, and gotten ideas from shots from watching other people who are ,much better than me at their craft. The key is taking the inspiration and putting your own spin on it, which I'm sloooowly getting better at ha.

[@Nerd101]

"tell a good story" thanks! this will help my videos for sure!

[@shaellybear]

I just started uploading travel vlogs recently. I've also been wanting to do some slice of life vlogs, just to have memories saved and be able to look back on them later. It's nice to have something to watch when I want to remember the fun moments in my life. I'm still getting the hang of it, tho. I get kinda shy whenever I film in public 😢 I hope we all find the courage and energy to capture the beautiful moments in our lives. Here's to that! 🥂

[@livinginlabuga]

Thank you sooo much for this. I love videos where the person comes at seemingly common situations, but from heartfelt perspectives. Well done 👍🏿

[@DeannaMc.]

This video really helped, in the majority of my videos or when I don't post I always say because my life is boring

[@MikeB92]

Been back and forth on starting to vlog. Peter McKinnon is one of my favorites.

[@MeeTimeKha]

Oh omg I just need to enjoy what I'm doing and what I want to mind what people thinking. Thank you so much

[@ReggieAbbey]

thank you for this video!! I have been dying to dive into vlogging for God knows how long, and this really helped break down some things that I was overthinking 🙃 thank you for your help 🙏🏾 ❤

[@FilmsByVo]

Thanks for the tips needed this lol Vlogging is one of my favorites hobbies

[@YoJLive]

Thank you so much I've been wanting to do vlogs but i always thought my life isn't interesting but you helped me open my eyes and i do i have a great personality thank you so much

[@genevievebrown2771]

This was really encouraging. I am struggling with editing and time and all that. I feel like the few I’ve done are pretty good. lol. I think I’m hilarious.

[@LeaRaesWay]

Thank you so much for these tips! I’m from southern Alabama...out in the country...so sometimes I think “what can I vlog about?” I never thought about those camera angles. That was a dope tip!

[@SirMusabody]

Thank you my g....i was really worried why people are not watching my videos.....i thought it was because of my personality ...but u said that look at people who inspire you and learn from...thank u for that.....

[@Truthbewithyou]

Thanks for this video mate 🙂 I have had quiet a few requests from my subscribers asking to see a bit more behind the scenes of my personal life, I'm more than happy to share my private life with them, but I am struggling to see how I make my very quiet life interesting to watch. I guess I'll just show them my simple life, rather than trying to be interesting as such. Thanks again pal, Best wishes brother 🙏🏼 💙

[@samwilcox5942]

Thanks for the information! I am thinking of starting my own vlog or something along those lines. We will see.

[@funnyafricancomedysubtitle4409]

You have started ?

[@ublax]

Inspirational. Your presentation of the topics makes it sound easy. Thanks

[@LocationRebel]

The concepts are easy. Don't just sit in front of the camera, tell a story, do things you're interested in. But each one of those does take a lot of practice. But once you start actively thinking about them, it can be easy to make incredible progress pretty quickly. Thanks for the comment!

[@peasepodfam]

Wow, exactly the perspective I needed! I am going to start a vlog to go with my blog. I am excited, just struggling with how to begin. This is soo helpful! Thanks!

[@Z123-b5s]

I'm ur 1st sub

[@NaudVanDalen]

I just sit inside and browse the internet and watch KZbin videos every day. The place where I live is tiny and there's nothing to do unlike New York where Casey Neistat lives and makes his vlogs. Although I probably still wouldn't know what to say if I lived there.

[@LocationRebel]

Naud, thanks for the comment! One of the best exercises I've seen for this, is to do a "boring room challenge" it might help spark some creativity within yourself as you're thinking about vlogging and filming stuff for yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2mpoGOvgZZrhsU

[@haylee7951]

Same I literally don’t go out ever. I’d love to but I don’t want to go out by myself so. I end up sitting on the couch inside. Not much for an interesting story

[@TheSun_TheMoon_TheStar]

it's kinda the same for me, but i actually think of using vlogs TO motivate me to do stuff outside, go out with friends more etc. Not sure if this makes sense tho :D

[@alexjagneaux7079]

Great video! Watching 3 years later!

[@temmysspacetv5144]

Thanks so much 4 making dis video . am just starting out on my youtube Journey. i wish myself and every other person starting out .. Good luck to Us

[@teachertransformed2813]

[@TroySwezey]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. I was thinking it would have been funny if all of the cooking part was shot waist up then toward the end it is reveled that you are just wearing boxers, a la newscasters.

[@ColinPomeroy]

Yo! You nailed it with this one :) good work. What camera are you using these days? Seems like you’ve upgraded from the g7x if I had to guess

[@LocationRebel]

Colin Pomeroy haha yeah, shot all of this with a GH5. Still love the Canon, but this is definitely a step up!

[@ColinPomeroy]

Location Rebel After seeing how badass you made cooking a meal look, I think it might be time for an upgrade for me

Dude, one of your blog posts with the same title brought me here. First off i would like to say your vids are awesome! I find the blog and vlog extremely helpful. I just started vlogging and the blog really gave me a lot of ideas about what i should vlog about next. U are awesome dude. U deserve many more views and subscribers. Much love, from Malaysia.

@@LocationRebel I watch his videos and yours. I like it when you said that it's okay to watch others vlogs at but some point you gotta stop coz otherwise you'll end up copying them 😅 I ran out of ideas so I watched that "31 ideas" post 😎

[@haylee7951]

The thing is I barely leave my house. I’m not sure what to record other than like. Me sitting in the couch. The truth is I’d love to do more and I’d love to tell a story of someone who works fast food and does nothing all the time- finally being ready to have fun and live life. Even in small ways. But I don’t have the planning skills to execute it.

[@DonVFilmoraTutorials]

Really nice video, what is your advice on talking? English is not my main language and will that be a problem?

[@skillerm]

Great vid. Great advice. I appreciate the openness with a touch of reality. What do you use to record sound? I have a pistol mic but there is so much background noise being picked it can be tricky to get clear sound and yours was pretty decent.

[@ric7541]

Great vid! What camera and setup did you use for this?

[@LocationRebel]

Thanks Ric! This was shot with a Panasonic GH5 and a Sennheiser lav mic. Recently switched over to using a Canon mirrorless, but still using the same wireless mic. Not cheap, but WELL worth it for this kind of thing.

[@AnttiSoininen]

Great man!!! Thanks for this..

[@rklokesh1]

Can you tell me which camera are you using in this video?

[@TroySwezey]

Would be cool if you listed the equipment you are using; wireless mic, whatever your camera is attached to etc in the description Sound quality was really good and I would consider buying whatever you are using. (Plus you could Amazon Affiliate it and make a few cents that way.)

[@LocationRebel]

Awesome man - will do that and start adding to future videos

[@FerocityFPS]

I live in between LA and San Diego so traffic to get those places can be a nightmare but hey I have some stuff planned out where I live and hopefully they can be entertaining for the audience which I believe it will be

[@TroySwezey]

Forget L.A. and S.D. There must be a park or a big open field or a statue or neighborhood that would be cool. Go for it. You will do fine. You already have over 360 subscribers. Awesome!

Dude, been following your stuff since seanogle.com really like the new Vlog stuff, great ideas. Also, how in the world is your audio so clear from like 5mins 30seconds when youre clearly pretty far away from the camera? Keep it up.

[@LocationRebel]

Thanks Sam! Really appreciate the kind words, and glad your digging it. I shot this whole thing with a wireless lav mic that I'd kind of forgot I had. I bought it for the Desk shoot a couple years ago, and just brought it back out. Really allowed me to do some fun stuff with this vlog.

[@mitchglass9253]

Hey Sean! That mic is awesome! Do you have a specific mic that you recommend that I could use if I wanted to make salsa dancing lesson videos recorded with my smart phone? Thanks man, keep up the good work!

[@LocationRebel]

Yeah, unfortunately it has the price tag to go along with it...As for you, it really all comes down to budget. For all my older vlogs I had a Zoom recorder and a shotgun mic I plugged into that - and then synced it up in post. If you have a point and shoot camera i might use that, and then use one of these mics to get sound from your phone: www.micreviews.com/guides/top-10-best-ios-microphones
