Good start
This would be where you start, if you know nothing about the subject, but you are clever enough to talk, and stand up, at the same time.
In fact, it's a good beginner to advanced type of book, and will put you on the right track.
useful practical tips and instructions to improve your videoblogging skills
yes I agree with the previous review. I found out about many new aspects to videoblogging after reading this book. it was easy to understand and follow and provided useful & relevant examples. I showed my sister who had never videoblogged and now she's started her own too, so I'd recommend this book for anyone who's both new to videoblogging and who has been doing it for a while - there's always something new to learn and try and this book is great for expanding your knowledge and practical skills.
thanks
Practical AND Interesting
I have been video blogging for about a year and a half, so I didn't really expect that I would get much new out of this book, but I figured I would check it out anyway, since there are so few books currently on the topic.
In fact, there were a lot of very practical tech tips that were helpful to me - things I was not aware of, and these are discussed in a step by step fashion that make them easy to learn, without being condescending. At the same time, I think this would also be an excellent book for someone just starting, due to the way that things are laid out in a straight forward/practical way.
Interestingly, the thing I especially like about the book is that it combines these very practical how-to details within the context of the video blogging story, complete with information on the brief history of this technology/genre and interviews with some of those who have been instrumental in this space, and the book include a lot of examples from active and successful video blogs/bloggers.
Finally, it's obvious that Jay and Josh are not outside observers who want to cash in on this growing area. In fact, both are totally immersed in the vlogging community in many ways. This really comes out in their writing and this is why they do such a good job of identifying what you really need to know to get started and to get better, while at the same time discussing the bigger picture, as to what video blogging is really all about - which goes far beyond the technical details.
I strongly recommend this book - a rare example of a practical and and interesting read at the same time.
