Most Extraordinary!

I explored your vlogs some months ago. I was immensely impressed by "Birth of a Butterfly".

To say that a vlog like that was "a hard act to follow" is an understatement.

However, I found subsequent vlogs to be very uneven in quality. I now see you have expanded your question to include "or done" as well as "seen".

This vlog is more a statement about the individual's reaction to an image.

I think you have a great concept here. However, I would be more editorially strict in how I applied it.

I can think of several "most extraordinary" things I have seen--Vice President Alvin Barkley dropping dead after declaring he would "rather serve in the House of the Lord than sit in the seat of the mighty"; seeing a pedestrian hit by a speeding car on a snowy day, knocked thirty feet into the air leaving his shoes on the street and landing "dead" in the middle of a mundane daily errand; seeing the water become waves of light while boating and swimming in a phosphorescent bay in Puerto Rico; etc.

I think you should squeeze more dramatic descriptions from your subjects.

I find it hard to believe that seeing a poor unemployed mill worker on a bicycle or going to Europe with no money in one's pocket were "really" the "most extraordinary" things these subjects experienced.

I'm trying to be helpful rather than critical.
 

I have watched this and have at least three comments, so here goes..
1. You are so adept at iMovie it is about time you wrote the how to book, I was very enjoyable and flowing.
2. You content is always both thought provoking and enjoyable.
3. The subject which you used, the bag lady in America, yes! Some talk about the third world, some talk about globalisation, but when it comes down to it, even if you irradicate poverty in the third world, you are always going to find the strong infrastructure of the western world's cracks, cracks that have appeared due to the neglect of those less fortunate or forgotten people who live amongst us, when the rest of us are worrying about terrorism, the rich getting richer or how many people die on a daily basis in Iraq.

I hope this helps.
 

My advice to you would be, if you enjoy doing you vlog this way, then don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Although I do agree with Randolfe to some extent, but to add more drama to each episode would for one take longer to do and two, may lead to the end subject being too preachy. I think you have struck a balance with your particular style, and it feels as if you are comfortable in the way you express your feelings.
 

I agree with Randolfe that it would add to get more from your subjects about why they found that particluar thing extraordinary, or what they found extraordinary about it. But this depends on what you are trying to do, if you are in fact trying to "do" anything. But on the whole, yes I like it, you give a group of thought provoking vlogs, and it is up to us, the viewers, to decide what we do with our provoked thoughts. It may inspire us, and give us ideas for what to do with our own vlogs.
