Don't end up looking like a shiny Oompa Loompa.

Okay, so I have been back for a while now. I cannot believe how much I have missed blogging and making YouTube videos. Right now I am filming in a bedroom we have turned into a closest because, there are no closets in this house! This did not go very well for us in the beginning, especially with my husbands insane T-shirt collection.

I found my self a wonderful window that gets natural light pretty much as long as the sun is up, so its perfect.
I have been trying to figure out my webcam and I have come up with a few things that I found to be important, Like place your camera a few feet in front of your light source, followed by you being a few feet away from the camera and work that zoom feature.

I work with a webcam so I have to kill the auto focus and the auto light, so I don't end up looking like a shiny Oompa Loompa.

If you look like this on video stop and re adjust your settings.

I received a product for review, today was the first day I used it and I am pretty happy with it. I just have to figure out how to make a blog post and video on it when the time comes.

I joined Linkedin, I always ignored that social media platform for some reason. Come to find out its pretty awesome. It's kind of a cross between twitter, facebook, and google+, but more for professionals so if you want to be seen by PR reps get one! It's still new to me and I cant find my own timeline, but I have 111 contacts so far and its only been a day, so I think its working hehe.

I wrote a post on themakeupsquid.com about how to tell if your a beauty blogger. So with that I found a lot out about me and my passion.

Filming with a webcam

If you know me, then you know I make or I should say try to make beauty videos on YouTube.

The main thing you need to know about beauty videos is lighting and video quality.

The best source of light for a beauty video will always be natural lighting, so I placed my make shift vanity in front of a window that gets great light most of the day, however video quality is a problem for me.

I am currently using the Logitech C615 webcam. I do have a Nikon CoolPix camera, but it runs on batteries and when filming in HD I get like about 20 mins of footage and it doesn't pic up color well.

The webcam works well for reviews and just speaking to the camera, but for actual tutorials it gets really bad. The colors of the products don't show up well and when I try to adjust it I get really orange or washed out.

I really want a camera that pics up color well and films in HD. It doesn't have to be a fancy one, just as long as it does the job.

I am going to be experimenting with my webcam and try to get a better quality video up.

I love making my videos and enjoy every aspect of it, but I would like my finished product to be seen. I have been so dissapointed in my tutorial videos. when you watch my videos it looks like I always wear the same colors, but I am not.
