Image by Clintus McGintus via FlickrThe task was to create a video documenting seven things about myself that I wished to share. I was stumped at first, but as I was laying in bed last night I counted and realized that I do have seven things to discuss: my tattoos.
So I don't know what programs other (normal) people use to record their vlogs, but I use the free application that came with my computer, Photo Booth. It's fine, except it sucks. For some reason, the videos kept cutting out in the middle, or Photo Booth would only save 90 seconds of the six minute long video that I thought was recording.
[By the way, if you have any advice for making better vlogs on Mac, or a program you'd recommend, please let me know!!!] After several attempts I gave up and did an on-speed version. Enjoy.
Now, you people out there! I want YOU to make a vlog about seven things for this seven things meme. It doesn't matter what the seven things are, so long as there are seven of them. Post a vlog, link me up, and pass the assignment along to seven other unwitting victims. GO!
Here are my seven lucky winners...
- Freckle on the Nose of Life's Complexion
- icantbelievable
- Without Obsession Life is Nothing
- Trailer Gypsy
- Beyond Passing Time
- the tiny tincan
- I am your blog
If you don't have a webcam, or if you don't feel like videotaping yourself (I know, we can't all be so narcissistic), then feel free to do whatever you'd like. The vlog option is fun, but I can understand why some people wouldn't be so into it.
Anyway, if you do complete the task (and I didn't choose your name and you still want to do it, go for it!) give me a holler in my comment box! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!!
If you're curious, here's one of the other videos I made (in which I get cut off by Photo Booth). Fun!
In other news, I started a new t-shirt reconstruction project. It's a yellow tee which reads "South Philly for Obama." So far, I've cut the sleeves, make a corset in the back, and bleach-stained and shredded (with a steak knife) the shirt for a punkier effect. I'm thinking of picking up some fabric dye and changing the color of the shirt (it's EXTREMELY yellow), perhaps a gray or darker color... Here's what I have done so far:
I'd appreciate your feedback!

I LOVED it! It worked out pretty well that you have seven tattoos, huh?
Andy loves tattoos and has a lot of them so when I saw yours, I immediately had to show him. We both agree that they're badass and you pull them off really well.
Oh, and you sound exactly like I thought you would. : )
Oh yeah, and thanks for keeping it going!! Doing it in vlog form is really fun so I'm glad a lot of the people I passed it on to are keeping up the trend!
Thank you, Sara! And you're welcome!! I like vlogs, I just need to find a new program to make them on...
Is it a good or bad thing that I sound like you expected?
Speed vlogging...you could have just started a trend :)
That was great! You are soo ting. Love the tattoos.
Thanks for this assignment!
I have been blogging for ages but I haven't Vlogged ever :D
But I'm gonna do this one, I just gotta find something interesting to share about me :) Hahaha!!
Your tattoos were all nicely done, the ink's so fine... I wish I got your complexion, so any tattoo color would look great on me :)
:) I don't know of another program to take direct video on a Mac, but you could also use a digital camera and upload to that movie maker program that comes with the computer too...
Your tattoos are SICK! Love them.
I will totally do this! Might take a while though as I'm moving into a new house this weekend! FUN TIMES.
Three words: You. Are. Awesome.
Well, really, that was five words, a colon, and three periods, but you get my drift. :D
Sweet vlog ;)

If you have Snow Leopard, you can record vlogs via Quicktime Player.
LOL. You're very coooool. I love tattoos. I wish I could have one soon but I just had a piercing that my mom didn't like. If she sees me with a tattoo she will be more convinced that I'm trying to get into a fraternity, which I am not. =|
You're really cool. =]
Nice vlog! It's so funny it wouldn't let you record longer than that! I had a vlog for 2.4 seconds on Youtube, but it was way too time consuming to keep up with!
Your tattoos are awesome. I in particular love the skull one, probably because I love Shakespeare. And they're all so unique.....I'm so jealous! I'm too chicken to get one.
Man, I'm jealous of your creamy skin and lovely tattoos! I'm so freckled that the only think that would look good on me would be the outline of a giraffe or maybe a leopard.
Way to rock the vlog too! I'm far too insecure to talk on a camera to anyone. Plus, I have the voice of a 14 year old girl...
Oh and I have a proposition I think you might like... dun dun dun!
Thank you, everyone!
@Mei, I'm freckled, too, they're just lighter because I stay out of the sun. I'm a vampire :)
Your vid is awesome! Love your tattoos are awesome. Basically, you're just awesome!
Andddd...now you put me on the spot ^_^
I'm definitely going to try my hand at making a vlog. Yikes! We'll see how this turns out. I'll let you know when it's up! Thanks!
Very nice tattoos! You must have a high pain tolerance!
