Phantom Loop Study #3:

Working a bit in the dark here. Trying to conjure phantoms thru looped textures of everyday life – color, sound, rhythm, scale. Not sure if this works. Maybe I’m looping too much? I think I need more dynamic narrative elements. But it doesn’t matter much because it is NaVloPoMo.

QT version

Found while driving. My eyes focused on the road, the camera lets me see what would have been missed. Vlogging = safety.

Juan is a Venezuelan videoblogger. I’ve been a subscriber to his En Video for about a month (he started his vlog in December 2005). His videos capture intimate, fragile moments that we can all relate to, but the minimalist approach doesn’t hide the sense of turmoil just outside his door.

Juan was kind enough to answer a few questions.

1) Why did you start to video blog?

I kind of fell into it more than starting doing it. I started Blogging one year ago without knowing about the vlogging movement. One day I decided to make a short video that I could show on my blog in order to let it be seen. After that, I started looking for people that made what I had done and I discovered videoblogging.

2) How would you describe what you are doing? Are there other things you want to try in your videos?

What I do (or at least what I try to do) is to show short moments from my life in a particular way. I like to show more than the moment itself by going deeper into what I felt and the way I reacted. I will love to have the guts to film outdoors. I’m terribly shy when it comes to shooting in front of unknown people but I’m trying to get comfortable with it.

3) Where did you learn to make videos and put together a vlog?

I was introduced into the basics of video editing by an excellent Venezuelan filmmaker called Carlos Caridad (who also runs a blog about filmmaking called Blogacine [www.blogacine.com]). I attended to a class he gave at my university and there I learned a lot about the production of a video. I learned to vlog in an autodidactic way by getting on the web and reading about it.

4) How do you want your video blog to evolve?

I want to be able to make images talk by themselves instead of needing to be explained by any other medium. I also want to show the poetic and philosophical side I know video has and maybe get some people interested in it.

5) Are there other vloggers in Venezuela that you can point us to?

There is a Venezuelan vlog dedicated to interviewing people from the film industry (I don’t know the guy who runs it), it is called Maraca vlog (http://www.maraca.info/blog/).
