CraftyPod Videoblog #1 from Diane Gilleland on Vimeo.
When I start spending time exploring new things on the internet, it always gets dangerous.
K has been introducing me to a whole bunch of new content on YouTube recently, and this got me all hopped up to start my own videoblog.
(Do I actually have time for such an endeavor? We’ll find out. Sometimes, new ideas are just more compelling than rational thought.)
Anyway – here’s the first installment – a project intro of sorts. Let me know what you think!
I love that you are going to blog live and in living color! Great first post, Diane. I especially respond to the relaxed and welcoming nature of the post. You and K are doing a really great job in this new visual blog. I can't wait to watch you make a mess for us!
And I loved seeing my grand child sitting so contentedly in the pool of sunlight – or what has been passing for sunlight up here lately!
Good luck with your new adventure! Can't wait for the next installment!
lol great video!
I love how you did this. very relaxed and cool. Yes wasting time on the internet is me…. I must make something…
Fantastic! Love it! I think it's great, and now i'll know what you look like if I happen to see you when i'm out and about! ;)
It's a really interesting idea. You are so right about just sharing the good and the tidy. I am guilty of that on my own Blog. I shall have to imitate your idea and be more honest, showing the muddle I make as I work.
Thanks for the audio blogs, the written blog as well as this video blog. I enjoy reading and listening to all you have to share.
Best wishes from the UK.
Hi- I love your pidcast and the longer the better in my opionion. I enjoy them on the road, in the studio or even the kitchen. so keep up the great work.
I also lookforward to your new vidio blog! I often have to load the artist web page or your to see what it is your are talking about( not a problem other than dinner is late-ha). So the vido sounds even more fun and informative.
Thanks again!
Susan
Thank you so much, Mandy!
Seriously awsome!
Woohoo!
A video blog, that's just too awesome. I do love to see your working space and I'm not bother by clutter, it shows that you work with stuff. Perfection isn't the ideal, like in television where everything is staged and sterile and I don't watch it.
Kind of amazing how much you managed to talk about in only 2 minutes, it felt longer. Great lighting too, one of the most common issues with videos, you look great.
Pushkin is irresistible. :D
Thanks, Nadia! It is totally amazing, isn't it, how much time can be stretched and squashed in video?
You are so adorable! hurrah for your video blog! xoxo
Diane, I think that I like your video persona even better than your audio persona. I can't wait to see more!
I think this is a great idea :D i really like your first vid (what editing software did you use?)
Thank you! I'm suing iMovie, which is somewhat basic, but very easy to learn. Eventually, I'd love to graduate to Final Cut.
HAHAHAH! Or, “using iMovie.” Last thing I would ever do is sue Apple for anything. :-)
I just recently found your website and podcasts and I love them. I think the video is fun and a great idea. I agree with you, there is something wrong with everything being perfect in blogland. Don't get me wrong, I like good photos- but it's almost too over the top and superficial.
Um, 192 comments?! Holy crap! I'm not the only one that thinks your video rocks! Very awesome, Diane!
Sister Diane!!!!!!,
This is great
very dynamic and interactive
Yes!! I think your video rocks too
Wow I cannot wait to se more of this project
Wish you the best
YAY! It's you…talking to meeeeeeeee! I love it. And I laughed so hard when you laughed after committing to a bi-weekly video, HAHAHA
Sister Diane, you look fabulous! Can't wait to hear more about you at Laura's class next week :-) Great videoblog!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting to know you better, too!
Oh I love this!! I think people will definitely “connect” better when they see the real you (by the way, I love the hair). I totally agree that the biggest reason I blog and peruse the internet is to connect to all the fabulous craftiness out there (and the gardening/health people)!
I have lots of homework to do, but since Sister Diane told me to go and make something, I'm going to go and make some pins that I've been wanting to make for my sister. My arm didn't need much twisting to craft instead of do homework!! ;)
Rebecca
Heh – anytime I can provide rationalization to craft instead of working, I am there. :-)
Yesssss!!!!!! Thank you for all that you do! I have learned so much, and your podcast has given me a very important element of what to do after you've gone through the design/ build (in my case) process …COURAGE! You gotta have it to put yourself out there! You are awesome…I look forward to more videos.
I finally watched it :)
Can't wait for the next one! Your hair looks great!
HAHA! Thank you! New one goes up tomorrow!
Hi Diane, I really liked your video. I am just starting out on all the things you do so well, like making videos, setting up blogs, Twitter and Facebook, printing my craft books, talking to craft companies, etc. The thing is I am 60 years old and this is quite overwhelming. I would love to get to know you better. I am glad I found your blog.
Welcome to the online community, Jeannie! Don’t worry – it gets less and less overwhelming as you go. Feel free to take one thing at a time! A blog is a big project, as is Twitter, and as is Facebook. You’ll need some focus time to get comfortable with each one. Trying to juggle all of them at once is really challenging – and can indeed feel overwhelming!
