I’ve been thinking of the best way to tell you about my new webcam, which arrived on Saturday. I thought I’d let it do the talking, but I can’t get the microphone on it to work. So this was the best I can muster.

RSS readers: please visit The Gospel According To Rhys to see what the fuss is about!

Two things about video blogging:

  1. When I get nervous, I talk with my eyes closed and talk out of the side of my mouth
  2. That was around take 6 – which was better than I expected, though I did concentrate hard. My arm was hurting (hence the shoddy camerawork).

But yeah, it’s rather odd thing to have on a camera. What do you think?

Also, more videoposts? Less videoposts? Better hair? Speak up people!

Update:

Couple more thoughts:-

  1. A comment on the Youtube Page suggested (rather mockingly) that it’s “To stop a trojan from being installed”. Of course, it’s not entirely flawless – what if you’re speakers are off – but the best excuse for it yet.
  2. I think I may do more videoposts – it makes those pesky RSS’ers come to the site and leave a comment!
  3. God I look ill.

Comment by Sibz

Oh my god! Anyway, most important thing to take from that, how did you get the pics of everyone in your msn screen name list? I want to do that!!! Ta


 
Comment by Fern

WTF??!

I’ve been meaning to make a video post over the next week or two, I didn’t want my first video appearance online to be a film of me pushing a melon out of my froot loop, so I figure I should break into it slowly first.


 
Comment by Debbie

Haha that is brilliant, I have heard of some crazy features on webcams but that’s a first about the theme music. It’s a shame it’s a bit..wrong sounding ;)


 
Comment by Sayre

Very Hugh Grant, actually…

So, does the recipient hear the theme music too? Or is is just for your own amusement? If it’s just for you, I imagine it could get old rather fast, but if it acts as your personal “ring” on the other end, that would be fun. Can you change your music or is that what you get?


 
Comment by Rhys

They can hear it through my speakers, that’s all.

Oh, and how I go about changing it? I have no idea.


 
Comment by Han

oh god, oh dear, oh woe, thats SO cringeworthy and yesh I’ve coined that phrase from mizz magazine!!


 
Comment by Celeste

PAH HA HA HA HA! Brilliant!

I thought I’d stumbled across an episode of Police! Camera! Action! then. Nice and steady camera action.

I say re-create your dramatic walk to work with a video camera next.

I’d pay to see that!


 
Comment by Rhys

Han: You love it really :)

Celeste: Really? **gets video camera, stunt double and make up**

**realises nobody wants to be stunt double, project falls through**

**keeps makeup**


 
Comment by Tom

hahaha, i say more. MORE DAMN YOU.

And do it the same way you did your first ever podcast… when ur fucked and rambling ;-)


 
Comment by Manuel

Hey, you have an accent! Joking of course…

That was fun. I had actually been thinking of doing one of those myself. Guess I will have to wait awhile now so it doesn’t look like I copied you. Good job though, that was fun.


 
Comment by Tilesey

YOU’RE NOT WELSH AT ALL!!!

That is blatantly not a Welsh accent, it isn’t even scouse – you’re just pretending to be Welsh just so that you can claim to be Wales’s number 1 blogger because the population (and thus competition cos sheep can’t blog) is lower!

Admit it Rhys, if that is YOUR REAL NAME!


 
Comment by Guy

BRING BACK THE DRUNK PODCASTS!!


 
Comment by nAl

“I am not good at using the computer with one hand.”

Best quote ever, Rhys! Because we know what the naughty boys who use the computer with one hand are doing with the other one.


 
Comment by Sonja

I liked your film, except for your arm getting tired and all the shaking that results. I found myself getting dizzy and “motion sick” after a minute or two. Can you perhaps use some kind of tripod?
At any rate, it’s always nice to see the face and hear the voice of a blogger whose writing you admire!


 
Comment by Sonja

This off topic, but since you’re a computer guy, can you direct me to any kind of web documentation that explains trackbacks in plain English? I have tried and tried to understand the concept, but still don’t.

[...] More Comments ….as do you! In the last month, I have received 371 comments. That is easily more I’ve received in any month, ever. A large number of posts hit double figures. Maybe it’s because half the posts turn into discussions, but it never happened before, and it does now. I like it! [...]


 

[...] Every other film in the world, ever. Including the one I did that’s on youtube. [...]
