We Check Out the iOS 7 Beta for the iPhone

A new vlog is up! Last week we were horrible, horrible people and didn't get around to uploading a new vlog, but this week's is up and it's about iOS 7! I'll admit it, I'm an Apple Fanboy. I tune in to all of the conferences Apple has had over the years (even sometimes skipping class to watch them), I own countless Apple products, and I try to always stay up to date on the latest and greatest. So when the announcement for iOS 7 came out, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

Once I did, Kyle and I thought it would be perfect to do a vlog on. So in this video we show off some of the new things iOS 7 has and we do a little reviewing, keeping in mind that it's still just a beta and that some things are likely to change by the time of the GM release.

Without further ado! Oh, and please subscribe/like/comment on this video over at YouTube!

Arrested Development Season 4 and the Future of TV Thoughts

I've spent the past few weeks watching all three seasons of Arrested Development on Netflix in anticipation of the release of season four. Now it's out, and Kyle and I thought we'd do a vlog where we discuss our initial reactions to the season (we're still in the process of watching it all) and also commenting on where we think TV watching in general is heading.

Feel free to leave some comments to fuel a discussion!

New Vlog About Lulu, a New App that lets Girls Anonymously Rate Guys

So I first heard about Lulu on Twitter because someone had tweeted randomly about it. Curious, I checked it out, and knew it would be perfect to do a vlog on. Kyle and I had a lot of fun making this one, and I think you'll find it pretty entertaining. After you watch it, comment either on this blog or over at YouTube letting me know what you think of the app. And don't forget to subscribe!

Kyle is the worst ninja ever! Look for our new vlog this coming Wednesday!

808 Originals Vlog 1 - Our Life Stories

Here's the first real vlog that Kyle and I made for our YouTube series. All in all, considering that neither of us have had much experience sitting in front of a camera in just talking, I think it turned out all right. Unfortunately, we talked for about 20 minutes but the camera only recorded about 12, so we lost a bunch of footage and I had to edit around that.

Look for the next vlog tomorrow! And please, subscribe to our YouTube channel if you like the videos and want to see more.

Weekly Summary - Digital Storytelling

This week we started the audio section, which I'm actually pretty excited about. When I was little my mom always used to play channel 955, Mojo in the Morning. But since then, I haven't paid much attention to the radio. Now I have a chance to learn more about the medium and maybe give it a second chance.

This week, I finished my last video for the video section of class and did a couple audio creates. I also finished part two of the Procrastination video, which isn't really for the class but I felt like sharing it anyway.

Digital Storytelling: Video Section Goals

My goals for this upcoming video section don't really have to do with anything technical; as a film major, I'm familiar with audio/video equipment as well as editing software such as Final Cut. I also work at the Instructional Support Services (ISS) on campus, where we rent out equipment to other students. As part of my job, we must know how to troubleshoot everything in case a patron needs help.

Instead, my goals for this section are to challenge myself to create compelling and creative content. I'd like to create something unique and interesting; videos that have something to say. Overall I guess, I'd like to come up with videos that tell good stories.

I don't necessarily mean a cut-and-dry storytelling formula. I'd like to experiment with the form, whether they be skits or shorts or a documentary or something entirely different. I don't really have a specific story idea in mind yet, but I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

But since I don't really have to worry about the technical side I want to use this opportunity to focus on creating really good content.
