How we fell in love with vlog

Zhu Zi

It is a free way to express yourself.

Unlike the advertising and short-form videos I usually shoot, vlog doesn't need lighting or scripts, nor does it require a good camera and lens.

The way to film vlogs is to make it free and realistic. It can quickly capture the reactions of others and my personal feelings. Things presented on vlogs are "raw" and I quite enjoy that. It also helps me to think in a different way about shooting other types of short video.

I posted my first vlog in March 2016, when vlogs were rarely seen. With creativity and processing, "raw" vlogs show more respect for the audience, as well as the vlogger. At that time, I thought the Chinese did not know about vlogs but if they became familiar with them they would love them.

I am very happy to see more and more excellent Chinese vloggers and interesting ideas. Vlog has liberated our brains and hands, to a certain extent, which is very interesting.
