Been a minute since I last posted (like a month lol)...

but i’ve been cooking up something new. Got to work on a really cool project mixing tech, startups, business, engineering + documentary filmmaking. The perfect mix of everything i'm into.

Finally able to start sharing it now, will share more in a future vlog but tap in to see what I've been working on đź‘€.

Should you plan out your vlogs?

What are your thoughts on it, i like having a mix of planned scenes but also letting life flow freely in my videos.

Made a video about my creative process in notion + free template!

I know first hand that learning how to colour grade can be a slog.

So for everyone asking about my process and how I make my videos, I have something for you. The one and only colour grade that I use in my videos, now available as a LUT for your own cinematic vlogs.

Check them out here: www.byjasonz.com/

Documented the entire journey of curating these as part of a three part series. Excited to see what you guys make with it.

Happy vlogging!

for people who create vlogs! what’s the most difficult thing you’re dealing with when it comes to making videos? talking to the camera, filming yourself, editing?

Creators! What camera do you vlog with?

I’m team apsc and have been for so many years. The price, the size, the weight all perfect for me, especially for those long days of filming/travelling.

Let me know your thoughts! Always wanting to hear what other people think, no wrong options. I started filming years and years ago with my phone and still use mine in vlogs.

The last few weeks has been a change for sure. Balancing University with YouTube has been new but I’m falling into a good groove.

Refined the creative process a bit to adjust for my new life, been uploading weekly but am hoping to spend more time creating. More videos hopefully.

So if you haven’t been keeping up with the recent uploads, you’re missing out! Hope to share more vlog inspo, filming tips and ofc cinematic footage to you guys soon.

Let me know what videos you want to see more of!
