Hello, friends and fellow movie fans! I’m making an extra post today to once again ask for your input on something.
I’m considering adding a video/vlog element to this blog. I recently had to make a video introduction for one of my graduate classes and found that I actually enjoyed it a lot, so I thought it might be a fun idea to put my webcam and editing software to use for TMP. Plus, it’d be a good way for me to gain experience with the software — useful, since my MLIS coursework over the next two years is going to require many A/V presentations.
The great majority of TMP’s content would still be written, but I’m thinking of doing lists/questionnaires and the monthly DVD collection update in video format (2 or 3 videos per month). Would anyone be interested in watching these? If you all prefer written content, I’m fine with keeping TMP 100% wordy as well. I just figured I’d bounce the idea off of you folks who read my blog. :) Thanks in advance for your input!

If the video includes clips of the movie you’re reviewing, then sure, I’d watch it. Otherwise I prefer words.

All reviews would still be in written format. The videos would be DVD collection updates and movie memes/lists. Thank you for your input!

I say go for it! There’s not a bit of harm in trying out something new. I will certainly watch.

I’d say yes…it would be something new and fun, you’d get to try out and learn your software, and you’d get additional training for your A/V classes. Plus, I think it might be cool to actually see the actual DVDs that you’ve added to your collection. Plus, and best of all, you could practice at being a classic movie host…y’know, like for TCM or something.

Yes, I must prepare for my co-hosting gig when they finally decide to pick up our “crappy sci-fi movies” show!

Good lord, you’re right…I better start practicing, too. Look for my new video feature, “Todd Screams and Throws Things About Bad Movies”, coming to my re-vamped blog soon!

No ungainly Icarus metaphors here; I always believe creative minds should fly in new directions whenever possible, and there’s nothing wrong with variety of presentation, especially when discussing a visually based medium as the cinema, so why hesitate? It would be nicely complimentary to your always interesting prose.

On a site that’s primarily about a visual medium, it makes perfect sense! Can’t wait to watch!
