[MrCozyTV]

nice thanks

[FranticFreaker]

Subbing for the eyebrow thing!

[EpicSuccuss]

I'm really bad at jumpcuts I know how to do them but I just don't sound good any tips?

[hobocamptheater]

your voice (kinda), your accent, and your facial hair remind me of the character "wilfred" in the show "wilfred"

[MrSuperWorz]

What do you do if people take the Mick out of you vlogging?

[TheFloppyquillShow]

@MrSuperWorz take the mick back! :) Thats what I do



[NoodleNews]

hey I started my own videos and I love ur shows they r great

[letshaveacupoftea]

I just made a couple vlogs , and I haven't got a lot of views but i'll keep making them cause i'd really like it :) I'm gonna watch those vlogging tip videos they are awesome :)

[notatrainedninja]

*clicks subscribe*

[AlyBearLoveesYouTONS]

1:27. You forgot 2, because you have a pimpin' accent bro!

[Dazidan]

were you using the sony camera thingy when you were recording this vid

[Pinoypride2000]

I wanna have one of those cameras, i am really into vlogging, and i try to vlog all the time most of the time and whenever i have time.

[ProductionsGrizzly]

damn the Australians know about cameras...... hopefully they dont know what auto mobiles are lol jk people from australia when i take over the world u will all live  because you have cool accents lol

[willywonkarocks1]

Your accent kicks ass.

[dorkiesanman]

did you do the wii warnings because you sound familiar

[jduran1995]

I have only six words to say(not counting those/these): Shaycarl eat your heart out!

[tmb317]

I am very interested in vlogging. I've blogged for years and am struggling to find extra cash to get a camera. IF you still have any, i'd be very grateful

[kwakninja23]

how much is it and as a moto vlogger did i win...lmao

[noname4me1]

How do I get an awesome accent... :p

[littlemissMaiju]

you sound like a real bloggie salesman for a while, but then you got back to normal. Maybe you should make a video about tips for selling stuff.

[olyabog]

babynip lol

[tdude129]

Great Review, probably gonna buy it and start vlogging.

How can i boost my views?

[iVidLog]

I just started today. What is more important; the topic or the flow.

[152vlogs]

i got one of those :D

[cartoonkeith1]

How much are those Camera's?

[ItsFunTV]

The Camera Looks Cool! xD

[iagrl]

What is the first thing you need to vlog besides a camera? I mean, what would you suggest for microphones? cameras? Software for editing and the like. I understand you will probably address most of these in your other video tutorials but I'm really curious what is the very first thing you need to get started? I don't have a sony camera but do have a JVC digital video camera. Any help is appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

[pickleweazle141]

what is your favorite video editing software?! i have been wanting to vlog for a long while and i am just now downloading vegas pro 10 as we speak. so tell me, will this cut it? if not, what software do you use? thx man, happy vlogging!!! :D........ too corny?

[Bawrdumb]

Thanks for your vlogging help :D its actually encouraged me to start one!

Question- how do you get new ideas for vlog topics?

[scoutbr00]

How do you keep your voice sooooo clear, I've tried so many cameras and none it turned out good

[vlogtronica]

I have to say your accent is a large part of what kept me watching. Not to say that your tips aren't helpful, but I do love the accent.

Here's my question:

To follow up on 'youreveryedayvlogger's question, other than the Bloggie, what camcorder or video camera is the most inexpensive, yet still at the 1280 x 800 or more pixel rate? Digital please. :)

[johnnybrazil01]

you inspirer me to vlog. You make it seems like it's so much fun!

cheers

[Youreverydayvlogger]

Hey blunty... Can i ask how you do your jump cuts? Do you just do one large clip and edit out the parts inbetween your talking and walking to a new spot, or do you stop recording, move, and start again? Also, with my bloggie ive noticed the quality of the videos isnt really the greatest quality, so what resolution do you use with the camera, and what editing software do you use?

[Aislingnol]

@Youreverydayvlogger you do one large clip and edit out the parts, or you could record stop move and start again, just edit out the parts that show you turning the camera on and off

[vlogtronica]

@Youreverydayvlogger If you own a Mac, iMovie is an excellent program for just plain vlogging. If you want to get into more interesting effects like cool title scenes and all that I would use Final Cut Pro, or, my favorite, Adobe After Effects. Windows Movie Maker is absurdly annoying. FCR and AE are both very expensive, and complicated. Generally, I would try to get a Mac, they come with iLife these days, but I'm sure if you really need to you could handle doing Movie Maker for a while.

[TheKnightwing1197]

@vlogtronica corel video studio is pretty decent... im not downplaying the others but i like any video editor that is not WMM

[Youreverydayvlogger]

I gotta give you props, i checked out the sony store and saw the camera, and i bought it, and i love it! Thanks for all the tips blunty

[1992fireflame]

How can you make your voice sound good and firm? Whenever I talk I sound like I'm 3 I talk so soft and have a wierd voice.

[StainsIncluded]

You sound like wil anderson...

[Reagan211088]

what do i need to record my guitar and voice and video at the same time? Any recommendations? Does the Bloggee work? For it?

[Posthuman7]

are you really robert downey junior?

[nukeboy14]

@Posthuman7 lol he does look like him, or the guy from 300

[vlogtronica]

@nukeboy14 I believe Robert Downey Jr. played the guy from 300. I don't know surely, but I'm too lazy to look it up. I don't see the resemblance, btw.

[nukeboy14]

@vlogtronica nope the man's name is gerald butler

[IamTheAntiMartyr]

I have a question for you blunty. How do you keep your face from looking all shiny on camera? My face always looks shiny in my vids...

[Blunty3000]

@IamTheAntiMartyr Several possibilities, Wash your face so it's not all sweaty, oily and shiny, Change your lighting, Use cosmetics.

[IamTheAntiMartyr]

@Blunty3000 I appreciate the honest answer. I live in the deep south with temps around 100 degrees farenheit and 80% humidity. I work up a nice glossy sheen pretty quickly. Cosmetics may be the most practical soulution...unfortunately.

[notsocomicaltv]

@Blunty3000 hahaha

[ChrissieMadIpod]

@Blunty3000 LOL-CAKES

[jaredswonderland]

@Blunty3000 i will buy the blogy but will you watch 1 of my vids made with window 7

[flintp51]

@IamTheAntiMartyr talcum powder is great for that. and it smells good, so you can go out after :)

[Youreverydayvlogger]

Now i know your suggesting using the bloggee cause their asking you to promote it, but what is a relatively inexpensive but good camera for vlogging?

[Blunty3000]

@Youreverydayvlogger Honestly, the Bloggie really is a decent choice, I still use mine quite often, in fact, 5 out of the last 15 videos I've posted have had footage in them from the Bloggie, or have been entirely Bloggie footage.

[Youreverydayvlogger]

@Blunty3000 Ok, and one last question, im googling this piece of tech and i cant find it, im just trying to find a general price, any help there?

[stillshotstudieos]

Hey I would very much enjoy a bloggie! Please read this and message me back about a free one. I would love you even more

[ultimatejedi1lc1]

How do I make videos that attract an audience at first not a bunch of subscribers at first but at least causes my video to have more than 100 views?

[guitarfreak159]

Im on a budget, in other words, about $120 to $150 at the very most. Is the bloggie an effective camera in that price range? And how does it compare to the flip camera? And what are some effects or abilities of the bloggie? Slowmo? Does it have a good microphone? Is what you film with it choppy like a webcam? Thanks, and you have inspired me to start blogging.

[robertenglund89]

Hey!

I hate the fact that vloggers can't set a even ok lightning most of the time. Please give tips on how to do that! :)

Thanks!

[ThatRandomVloger]

can you recomend and budget vlog camera? in the UK, there about £120, do you know any for areound £50 or so, so like half or less of the price of the bloggie?

[SacridiaDarque]

If you're going to use text in a vlog, what would you consider unnecessary? When would you consider text effects appropriate? ( Of course, WMM style text is an obvious cardinal sin, I mean conceptually. )

[cloudlaws]

What's the most effective way to use text in a video and what different ways can it be used :)

[woodmank58]

what video editor do you use

[superchicken4eyes]

camcorder or digital camera for blogging?

[AustralianUFA]

with the 360 veiw can you just show one part of the view so everyone does not get big line but a full youtube page size

[ToonLawliet]

You Have Inspired Me To Do Vlogging, Thank You.

What Is The Best type Of Camera To Use On A Budget?

[JoCatofCatLand]

What are the upsides and down sides of doing jump cuts. i use them lots but that dosent make it good.

[Headphoneguy92]

the babynip works on me too :O

[waflenoe]

did u say u were guna give them away?

[popculturehero]

4:02 > did he mean derisive ( means mocking or scornful)

Checked amazon for the bloggie. Because the local retailers suck at stocking new cameras. And its not convenient to waste time there.

The bloggie may be one I'll go with as its under $200. I trust the video where you offer the contest will be the review of the bloggie.

[SmallDude1994]

Lol, keep it to the point I see. Really like your vids 5 stars/thumbs up to blunty!! :)

[30HockeyGoalie30]

Uhm. You talked more about the Sony Corporation than you did tips.

[Blunty3000]

@30HockeyGoalie30 This was only an introductory vid. Keep watching the other vids, lost of tips.

[throwsparx]

Sigh, I typed in a small wall of text and then hit the attach video button so redoing it.

I happen to purchase one of these Sony Bloggie cameras mainly because im cheap and alternatively because it will be my eventual backup. Iv shot a couple blogs with this camera indoors at night under various lighting conditions and the picture still seems fuzzy. iv adjusted the settings and shot on each one trying to improve it. Any tips are greatly appreciated. if its the camera ill just go buy the xacti

[MrPokecentral]

do you have any tip on filming lcd screens so you don,t get reflection of you camera i trid to turn of all the light but there is still some

[jedimasterrylan]

if you havent run out of those cool cameras to give away, I would like to punt my name in the running for one by asking an interesting question. I myself am looking to start a vlog, but what do you do on the days that you dont do anything wroth blogging about? do you make something up for the sake of the vlog? or do you simply vlog about your boring mundane day?

[OfcarcikFilms]

Has anyone ever told you you look like Robert Downey Jr?

[Decapoe]

Maybe they should of called it the Vloggy? Or Steve. Steve is a respectable name. Not like Cherry, cuz thats like a stripper name or something. The Strippy, would just NOT be cool though...Oh well maybe they thought of all that and the Bloggie was the best choice. Or Candy...

[VIMStudios]

Is the camera you filmed thiss vlog a bloggie?

thanks

-Tejas VIM Studios

[IamAdamWe]

Is it more convincing to have a Moustache and Beard when Vlogging?

[holomemo]

Next time take care when pronuncing "I'm going to look at you funny"

Nearly got the wrong idea, especially with all that talk of handsomeness.

[webpaycheck]

how do i get more people to watch my videos?

[animator4good]

dude you are so funny !!

love your vidd !!

about the camera does it have a sort of holder that can hold it ?

an does it have a build in microphone ???

[CorrerPorVida]

what's a vlog?

[iPhoneGuy12]

Please give me camer

[ndubbleemo]

1. Where did you get that AWESOME tee?

2. Best shooting location (light, sound etc)?

3. Big vlogging no-no's?

4. Scripts, notes, impro? When should you use each?

5. How should you start your FIRST vlog? What info should you include?

[poisonswitch]

Many people have alreaady asked this but what do you vlog about?

[CutTheFat]

I am an old viewer, but this is my weight loss channel. (ChristieThePup) Anyway, I've gotten a new camera that does HD video, but I am having trouble with figuring out how to edit it, and upload it. Is the bloggie easier to use?

Thanks!

[xTimmyBx]

Would it be better to make vlogs about stuff thats happening in the world, on the radio, on TV, celeb stuff..or..own opinions, things that hav happened to you, etc...?

[PinkNinjas666]

If you start getting good at blogging and vlogging and your always watching out for stuff in the media to "rant" about..and you suddenly hit a dry spell where there's weeks of nothing go on on in the news, nothin interesting happening in the world, and nothing particularly awesome going on in your life that youtubers want to hear about - what do you do if hundreds of people are expecting a vlog/blog being as there hasn't been one in a few weeks??? :D

[ughitsbrandon]

is a microphone absolutely necessary?

[TubOfCereal]

I have a question!

can i have one of the give away cameras? ;)

[joeysoad]

my question is what do you do to keep thatt goatee lookin so ..hmm whats the word im searching for?tame?awesome?im not sure but yes that is my question

[concord327]

How does it compare to the Sony Everio(sp)? I was thinking of buying one b/c they are not too clostly and i can get a discount at work.

[TheBassSoldier17]

I see a lot of vloggers with intros and I was thinking about doing all my videos with one but I think it's unnecessary and actually detracts from the video itself. What do you think Blunty? Are splash intros or really any sort of intro necessary or useless?

[Blunty3000]

@TheBassSoldier17 Waste of your viewers time really. get to the content.

[kentokhromatic]

@Blunty3000 I agree, people will just skip - content is best.

[smurrfull]

How do you start off? Should you introduce yourself in the first video, or just go with the 'flow'?

[crazydude28]

What if you are fat, stupid, and no one likes to talk to you?

Yes, that was a rhetorical question.

[RayzarEntruce]

Doubtation

[MrBloodyknee]

Do you use a script or notes? It doesn't look like you do, but I'm not sure if one would help or hinder me. Do you use an external mic?

[JendisJournal]

Does that camcorder have an external microphone jack? If not I'm not interested. If so - I'll check it out.

[nunsli]

hi blunty,

why you don't do more outside vlogs, like show us where you living, your propinquity

(that word has on the google diccionary :)), and what people you can transversely (across) in the seafront (street). Funny this remark (comment)...

[KitPeaceKeeper]

Whats the recipe for surprise boobs!!!

[iceeyes4478]

Question: Blunty, how does one become as awesome and talented and funny and handsome as you are? Making blogs would be so much easier that way. Especially if I had my own camera...

[CherWarner]

Do you create a script, or just know sort of what you want to say and go with the flow?

[RealGamersTV]

when you vlog how long does it take to make to edit a video into youtube worthy?

[jtmrfilms]

I'm looking forward to this as I am starting a blog very soon and have been searching high and low for some tips. I think your the perfect person to give them. Thanks Blunty.

[willandhugh]

[instert comment - that roughly sums up the same opinion as given in the video whilst adding a few points that add to them but were read somewhere else - here]

[piggypoo]

i want that shirt

[JB101works]

Sir how do you Blog?

[blunote47]

Blunty3000, I know your actually Robert Downey Jr., feigning that ridiculous accent.

So yes, I guess you would be famous, talented(not eveyone can pull off an Iron suit and look good), but please stay off the self medication kick. By the way I'll keep your secrete, oops guess it ain't...sorry.

Good Vlog Robert, aaaah, Blunty "wink"

[13skullz]

I just want to say that I have been a Blubty fan since pretty much day one. I was just off to sixth grade and a friend shows me one of your videos and I busted up laughing (it was quite possibly a stop action Lego one (PS I am selling all of my legos. Anyone interested can PM me)).

In any event, keep vlogging!

[Runiker]

1.} what are some leagle limits one would want to watch out for.

2.}how does one pick good topics to talk about how do you know what your viewers would like?

3.}how much editing does it take to make a 10 min video on the normal.

[si2foo]

hmm blunty 1 i think u were either on drugs or have alot of caffeine in ya

2 you have alot of experience but were did u come from as in how did you start orginally

[tenebrousllama]

here i am, a loyal and handsome viewer, with a question! i LOVE vlogging - really the only type of video i do at this point. do you think it's better to just be yourself, and let other people who resonate with that come to you, or to act more like a different version of yourself, or as an entirely different person, to get viewers interested?

[tenebrousllama]

yes you're handsome, yes you're moderately famous, yes you're immensely talented and incredibly modest *hug*

[randomcomicguy69]

Is it important to shoot a bunch of differant scenes then put them all together or can you sometimes do the whole vlog in one shot?

[banana4953]

You seem to have very smooth skin. What skin products do you use? ;)

[squishmaster96]

i dont have a web cam and was wondering what u would suggest as a decent yet cheap camera to buy for vlogging and web chating, thanks.

[itsmee2333]

How do you start from scratch? do I find some interesting topics to talk about, so I don't bore my viewers. How can I get more viewers without promoting the videos?

[Simriel]

What's a good release schedule?

On another note: How may I develop an ego like yours? It is large and awe inspiring.

[halogenetor]

hahaha brilliant!! 5/5 :)

oh btw, has anyone tried watching this video with the automatic subtitles on? hehe :)

[kirkeat]

What is a good way to ignore/deal with the inevitable negative comments one will receive through making video blogs?

[ThePr0Hobo]

Don't be an r-tard =D

[shanoncg]

man that is one of the funny review things that you have done and could you do a review on the playstation 3 accserories called play tv where you can hook you ps3 up to your tv but i am not sure on release date

[KlaxonCow]

Yes, if you did start overtly selling out with your product reviews, then you would start haemorrhaging your viewership.

Thus, it would be a Pyrrhic Victory in the long term to do so - as you would gradually kill the very thing that would make any corporation interested in giving you cash to sell out in the first place.

You're more than wise enough to understand this already - but let us state it explicitly and formalise it as a promise, to help you stave off the temptation of caving in.

[Rileyb90]

Best tips i know of try not to erm, err, mmm or any pauses that aren't actual words, ways to do this are:

Edit down long pauses,

If you mess up retake the shot.

Most people slip up on this and it's really annoying because your saying something interesting then "errrrrrrrr , yerrr ermmmm, what what i going to say *thinking pause*".

[1011Ev]

1. What would you say to a new person?

2. How much *funny* humor should you add to your videos?

3. How can people like me take a 10-20 minute video and put in a short version that covers everything and is worth watching?

[macromale10]

Question there Blunty....is that a nail or a thumb tack on the wall behind you?? To your right ....

Looking forward to more instructions from you, keep up the brillant work.

[mehimandi]

apple souce is delicious!!!!(sorry thats was random) i would really like to have one of those cameras. im 14 and i watch all these people make these incredible videos and i just say to myself that i would love to have great videos like that. ive made a few with my phone just being stupid with my friends but i really think that camera would really help put and id dearly love one!! thanks for reading :)

[FuzzyBerk]

Where is your best source for subjects to discuss/rant/talk about? Is it mass media or blogs off other people? In addition, for a new vlogger, is it best to be impartial to media hype?

[MsCheekybrat]

"considering the hugeness of my awesomeness" 

Loves the eyebrows!

[makadak]

Hi, I've commented on your other video's before but Neva got a reply, I wanna know if one day u just woke up and decided to make a video or wether it was all planned.. I also added u on ps3 so plz accept

[dreamcastboy1]

To be a successful Vlogger , do always have to seem bright and into what you're doing?

[dancewasteland]

Watching a Blunty3000 video is always reward enough!...

*checks mailbox*

[MysteryMooseMan]

ehehehe.... xD

[goodkitty327]

Would nude vlogging be a good idea? Obviously on youtube you can't show anything inappropriate but I think it would be interesting.

[JD5DAD]

Do you like films about Gladiators

[LadyCyan]

Hi!

I bet you've got this question like a million times already. Imma go ahead and ask anyways: How did you first get started vlogging? What did you vlogg about? Your life or prewievs of stuff? How do you get peoples attention? The things you do vlogg about today, were those the things you thought of doing from the beginning?

Keep up the good work. Info and laughs altogether is a great job =) ppl smile way to little.

[MrSMOfficial]

I'm fat. My penis is large. larger than yours. Because this is funny. Your giving me a blogger. Thank you, bye.

xD

[map232]

When you are preparing a vlog, do you just have an outline of what you want to say or do you do a full storyboard of the vlog with the different shots you want already thought out?

[aloo20]

Where do you come up with all the interesting topics to talk about in your videos? and what kind of techniques(if any) do you use to get your ideas?

[sinosleep007]

How do you get companies to send you things to review if you aren't an established personality?

[xboxrulez12]

Hugeness of my awesomeness. LOL

[SnowXWolfX1800]

What makes a blog boring or funny? or basically what makes a blog good, and what makes one bad? (basically, what you could/should do and what your shouldn't do) simple question but i think its improtant. :)

[Echo104]

Hey Blunty, thanks for doing this by the way, it's very insightful.

I would like to ask what are your best choices for setting up your camera if you don't have equipment, like a tripod and backdrops.

Also I would like to know if there is any free video editing software is there on the internet, to edit and polish the video afterwards? Windows Movie maker is tedious and I don't have a mac, which to my knowledge has a decent editing program. Thanks.

[Olmirz]

Set us a camera bruv? lol no I'm not a complete pickey

[Hiroman17]

simple and short  qw

what advantages gives Sony Bloggie

or it is just the same old video camera

whit now cloches from donce and gabana or eny other compani?

dont judge me for my pore english

[Frimf]

What was your breakthrough video? Or did you slowly gain success?

[OneTouch8700]

is brad pitt one of ur actor firends

[Ky1es]

A camera made for vlogging eyy, i wonder, does this mean i can finally live my dream of vlogging on the toilet!? Call it an Aussie mans dream :)

[oppai182]

after spending so long writing,recording and editing the video for it to be 3-6mins longs, is it worth doing it?

[nichdet]

needs more topless women on motorcycles. other than that, good.

[BurningCharity]

Been a subscriber for a long time. Give me a fucking camera Blunty.

[SteeveeStrange]

So you're going to ask Sony if you can give 2 more their cams away without mentioning that the one you're waving around was free? lol

I totally agree with this.....0:49

[s3xyb3astsixty9]

i wonder how many people stopped saying "first" to actually try to think of a comment/question, in hopes it'll get them a free camera. maybe i should start bloggin' about things like that...

[Vehdrehl]

You've plenty to share Sir Blunty. ..wanna go halves in a bowl of Gnocchi? Or even better, a high five? There's some cheese for the Gnocchi, heh.

[stillfreefilms]

i just subscribed can i have a camera now?

[TheFenerli10]

hey Blunty, what makes the Sony Bloggie different than other video cameras? Why is it so good for vlogging?

[FlamewaveLeader]

can i has a camera? :3

[DrkVce]

Heya Blunty

I find that anytime i try and vlog I just end up getting so worked up about something that I stop making sense.

How do you convey the right amount of emotion without seeing red and screaming inane comments about their mothers, while still illustrating your point?

[rickki1]

Hey Blunty that FLIPed me OUT!!! My question is does full frontal male nudity increase or decrease viewers or do you think female nudity would be better, just asking right

[Brainspazzer2]

Can the background make or break the vlog?

[fippie7]

First time watching, love your energy! Is background important? Mine is my bookshelf, would that be too distracting?
