I’m directing a series of vlogs this weekend that serve as part of a larger multi-narrative, multi-medium project. I love the overall idea but when I think of a narrative vlog, the one that comes rushing to mind is this:
FYI, this is the most watched episode from the first season (in fact they’re on their 4th season and this one episode was watched over 3.2 million times).
As the director, I’m in uncharted waters. This is my first time working in this format (a sort of improvised monolog, if I were classifying) so I’m very excited but also a bit nervous? Nervous about directing? Only as much as I always am. No, I’m more nervous that I’m doing this with no crew. The shoot is textbook simple so not only am I directing but I’m also the cinematographer, the gaffer, the sound mixer and whatever else I can’t delegate to the actors that are just standing around. I suppose it’s a good exercise, it’ll keep me mentally on my toes, but after 2 14-hour days my mental toes will be barking like crazy. Then again, if Robert Rodriguez could do it (go read his book), so can I.
Wish me luck.
