The Salaryman Tokyo YouTube channel fascinates me and has stimulated my thinking

I came across an interesting YouTube channel yesterday: Salaryman Tokyo https://www.youtube.com/@salarymantokyo What was of particular interest was the fact that there was no speaking and you did not get to see the Salaryman behind the channel. Most of the footage was from a POV perspective but anything that included footage of the creator was filmed… Continue reading The Salaryman Tokyo YouTube channel fascinates me and has stimulated my thinking

Video content-some thoughts on making video content and what to make

Documenting your life and vlogging

I am fascinated with this idea of documenting your ordinary life and others finding something in it. I watch quite a few videos on YouTube of individuals documenting their ordinary, everyday lives and the viewing figures that some of them achieve are impressive and fascinating. I suppose it could be described as ‘vlogging’, too, but… Continue reading Documenting your life and vlogging
