Definitely harder than it looks!
Recently I have been interested in spreading the motorsports and motovlogging love and what better way than to share with y'all.
I've been riding for about 7 years now, started with a TVS XL Victor, Then upgraded to Bajaj Pulsar 220 Fi, Currently owning a KTM Duke 200, probably will upgrade to something else.
Started MotoVlogging about a month and a half now, though I love it! I am hardly able to upload any videos in YouTube with a Job to take care of + MotoVlogging is not an easy task.
I actually started doing videos from Aug of 2016 but I am hoping I will full fledged it and start uploading by Jan 2017 onward.
Sharing my experience below -
It is always a wonderful thing to watch famous MotoVloggers like - Walterrific, 6Foot4Honda and Royal Jordanian and then we have home grown MotoVloggers like - The Everyday India
But when you have to do it on your own it take whole lot of time trust me it does and requires a whole lot of efforts, Motorcycling is an expensive sport and MotoVlogging will make it even more expensive atleast for the initial phase of it.
Then questions begin to creep in - Is it too late to start motovlogging ? Is it worth it ? How should I start ? What all may I need ? etc etc...
With years of efforts and hard earn money, I got myself a Action Camera and a Audio recorder/Mic fitted to my helmet and started, Initially I absolutely had no idea on what to speak about, I almost ran out of topics at one point it was too darn difficult to even think of one and talk on it and at same time concentrate on the traffic and road.
Never the less, Ideas do creep in once you start doing stuff, So was I too late to start MotoVlogging ? NO, Absolutely NO people like Barron Von Grumble and Royal Jordaninan have always been an inspiration as these were the first channels I ever visited without even having a thought of making such videos. Is it worth it ? - Well it depends motorcycling is something I love to do and thought of MotoVlog as secondary.
Then after almost a year I started riding to places and took it seriously at least the touring part and it happened, Now this year I am starting to MotoVlog and will full fledged it by Jan 2017 hopefully!
Hoping all goes good.
Hoping all goes good.
Here are a few things you may need to start your own stuff -
1. Action Camera + Mount Accessories
2. Mic/Recorder
3. Video editing tool
Video editing tool is the most difficult part to learn, the new software take a ton of efforts and time to learn and use VX and other animations, I am still in learning phase so I would be keeping it simple for at least time being.
Oh by the way I use Sony Vegas Pro 13
Hopefully I should be able to do more MotoVlogs, Just worried that I have a job to do for living too as YouTube is something I am doing because I like to ride.
Wish me Luck Guys!
