Hi guys, it's been a week since I've posted and judging from the blog title, you probably won't know what "first special experience" means.. A few weeks back, while I was chatting with BFF, basically I went to the back of the class to look for her and we just chat for the whole day, and while talking about our future, we found out that we actually had the same idea of "I just wanna have a memory that will last forever and that I can actually look back (literally) and laugh at myself.." And that meant, VIDEOS!
I have always been very fond of being in front of the camera, and I also believe in the power of media, it's like many things can happen overnight and you just don't know when "it's your time to shine"! And being much of a globetrotter since young, thanks to my caring father, I've been to many different countries and every time I'm at a foreign place, I always see my dad holding his flip camcorder walking around and doing some "voice overs" behind the camera. Even though this small touristy act did not make sense me when I was younger, but now I realize how much memories it can bring back just by watching that 15minutes clip of my family. It's like part of your life is in that clip! It's actually quite magical. About a few months ago, my grandma found a cassette tape of my recorded Europe trip when I was just 5 years old. It was of course very heart warming to watch and it brought back lots of memories! Not only I can REMEMBER the details, I can SEE the details with my own eyes.
So after lots of discussions, BFF and I decided that the best medium for us is actually YouTube! And as far as I know, both BFF and I has been YouTube nerds for like the LONGEST time! I'm not sure about her, but I'm pretty sure that I'm addicted to YouTube.
Even though there might be a chance that we will get famous, that's not the main point of us making YouTube videos, it's not about the fame but just something that we can look back at in future when we're older, or when we are sad in future and we can watch our own videos(as loserly as I might sound) and just LAUGH at ourselves, cause I'm fucking humorous! We have also set Friday as our "FILMING FRIDAY" and basically we just adapt ideas from our daily school life and make it into a videos about our thought on stuffs and etc etc. So, moving on to...
THE EXPERIENCE
Last Friday, which is after Racial Harmony day, BFF and I went to my house and got ready for filming our first video! And since we shared the common dream, that is to be a youtuber and wanna laugh at ourselves cause we're weird and nonsensical. We decided to do the "Friendship Tag" tag video! It turned out quite a success, though the quality, or I'd rather say the focus of the camera wasn't well controlled, but we promise that the videos would be of much better quality in future! Even though the video is only 15minutes, but god knows how long we spent to prepare beforehand! And our bags were freaking heavy in the morning, we had our tripod, camera, laptop and all the gadgets with us since morning. If you're interested in watching our video, I'll be posting it below after the pictures. And I stole the pictures from BFF.
