- Man, I really
needed a new audience didn't I? I'm just enamored at
this idea that some people will only ever see these
VRlogs. If they're in their headset watching they
won't even SEE the "flat" ones. I mean, unless
they're accessing it through YouTube VR. But no, for
many? This is their only idea of me and it becomes
this new story, really. My goodness the variation in
these first dozen or so VRlogs is just CRAZY. I cannot
imagine how strange this must seem to people. It's
funny, I'm starting the long process of uploading all
of them to Deo VR and they give you a long list of
tags to choose from... and it's occurring to me that I
will eventually use every goddamned tag because my
life is seemingly everything. I mean, except
naked girls dancing. Which, is, my only real
competition. LOL.
-
- It's also more and
more clear... well shit let me get to the video:
Descanso Gardens! Just a nice nature walk and some
cool ducks, and Cam being quirky and weird. Love it.

- If you were
wondering, he said he likes to find one thing wherever
he goes, burn it into his brain and then associate
that with his memory of the day. Kinda cool.
-
- But as I was
saying, it's getting clearer that as this tech gets
easier to use, say it's already in your glasses, you
will see so many more people doing this. They will fly
past me and turn it into something new just like they
did with video blogs. But for right now? I'm the only
one doing it like this. I remember last year finding a
guy doing a first VR vlog and saying "wouldn't this be
cool!?!" and then never did it again that I could
find. I think that's always been how I separated
myself. It's not that I'm a visionary... I just mix it
with a work ethic and a steadfast organization that
allows it to continue. Workflow, workflow, workflow.
It's why this crazy fucking computer was mandatory. I
can now go from shooting to uploading an edited piece
within 24 hours. That's fucking badass for 8k60 raw
files. Once that workflow is set up? You can actually
run and gun. The only issue is the camera is heavy,
cumbersome and fucking expensive. Unlike an iphone
(which I guess is also pretty expensive) that you can
throw in your pocket... you can't really put this
fucker down too well without putting the gimbal on a
table on FULL DISPLAY. Like:
"LOOK AT ME MAN!". I hate that.
-
- But yeah, I'm now
14 deep. Looks like I'll probably average about one
VRlog a week with regular videos filling in the gaps.
Who'd have thought The Journey would be 50% VR in
2023? What a massive change. I can't believe I've
pushed it this far. This is not what I meant
when I said "It's Time To Push" at the beginning
of the year. I was talking about the films! Leave
it to me to once again release a doc and then run so
fast to the next thing I never actually market
correctly. Ugh.
-
- Oh well, I'm too
happy to care. :-)
