need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos… i have one but it’s just ‘talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024’ and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af
@@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I saw some of your videos, and I can say you do do well at keeping the flow. Rambling is what most of podcasters do. Heck, even professional news casters! That’s to say, we are all used, and kind of expect it. ☺️
@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)
As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.
magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Static angles for too long get indeed a bit boring to watch in my opinion, but just experiment with it. What’s the worst that could happen? Wasted disk space or people increase playback speed to time lapse or fast-forward. Hence, not a huge issue. Even if only you had fun recording it and learned something along the way, it’s already a win. Everything else is a bonus on top.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!
