"The more you care what other people think about you in life, the more it takes away from your life and is just detrimental to you overall..." - Wow... best advice ever, not just for Vlogging, but for life itself. Very very well said!
Another trick would be to imagine yourself as a journalist covering an event or a particular location. That way, you will believe in yourself and you will put the priority of this video above what people would think about you. :)
The one thing I think can be beneficial is considering why I should care about what the surrounding people think about me when there's a high chance that I will never meet them again.
Hi Gemini and Martin. In Russia when I tried to making vlogging people everywhere asking me what I’m doing and why I’m shooting them. I go to the car service, all men asked why I’m making a video there. I go to the post office all people watched me and doing the same. Maybe in US is another mentality and you feel more free of yourself doing that. Thank you for a video and tips. 😊 will practice doing the video more often.
That is a very good point -- the location where you vlog probably matters a lot. In the USA, especially on the west coast near the cities, it's not a big deal to most people. But I can see if being seen as strange or attention grabbing in another country. If you're faxing this, it's best to try to vlog in a less crowded area (ie an alley or quiet street), or learn to embrace the attention and making those people part if your video (Bald and Bankrupt and Harald Baldr do this very well).
@@Gemini_Connect Hi Gemini, thanks for a message. It's a simple idea, but I didn't used that. I will try to vlog with the less people on the streets and quiet places first! ❤
Beginner's mind. This is such an important concept, not just to be a better teacher or communicator, but to appreciate yourself as well. Don't take for granted your experience. I'm 95% equipped to record my first video removed from my PC, but that's 5% away from never doing anything. Beginner's mind. A beginning doesn't have to originate in ignorance, it can be deliberate. I know you review technology as a business, but this was an important philosophical concept that I recognize and appreciate. Beginner's mind. I'm not ugging the book, just know how you got there. I just checked, my GoPro has no setting for any of this, it's just trying to record at every click.
Great tips Guys. I've recently started my vlogging channel 2 weeks ago & want to get out in public with my camera this weekend, if it ever stops raining!!! Being in my 60's I gave up caring what people think of me long ago. Greetings from Tasmania, kind regards, Tony P.S. Your little boy is so cute.
A lot of channels have this - how to vlog or how to vlog in public- video made but this is still worth watching having seen many those. A lot of value. Thank you guys 🙂
sometimes I am more free and comfortable talking to my phone or camera, and there are other times I feel awkward when there are large groups of people around. I get what Gemini is saying. Thanks you two, keep up the good work
Great information here ! I’m heading to the Philippines 🇵🇭 soon ! I want to vlog with my GoPro . Also I really appreciate the other videos on set up and equipment ! Thank you 🙏
thank you for sharing this very informative video. this is a big additional knowledge for me as small vlogger or small content creator. watching from philippines.
Thanks for this video and encouragement! I found that most people actually want to be in the video when they see a camera and hope they make it in the final cut 😊
very nice. the last tip was really useful and my son also opened up my eyes on this. but i am finding hard to implement it. i need to overcome nervousness.
Totally understand! I still find it especially awkward in front of family and actually prefer blogging in front of people I don’t know (odds are I’ll never see them again). Start talking to camera on your own with no one around - that’s often the hardest thing to do - and then add people to the mix as your comfort grows.
Mahalo, Gemini's! No such thing as too information! Don't be afraid to fail & it's not how times you fall down that stops you, it's how many times you arise from the ashes that makes you bigger/better!...P.S....LOVIN the hat, Martin!
Dear Gemini connect.Its worth listening your advice..Its fantasticx and good help for the beginners...so nice of you..Madam I want to know which camera/mobile model you have used to this particular video?
I don't know how people can speak concisely and clearly in a monologue without a script. It's not possible for me. I have to speak the lines several times.. and that feels even weirder to do in public! 😆 But I will try. Thanks for the encouragement.
Being clear and concise is definitely hard, but the more you practice, the easier it gets. Another tip is to imagine you're FaceTiming a friend or family member, or that you're making the video as if you're speaking to them. That helps you keep things conversational.
16th Aprub. I too is easily intimidated when vlogging in public because of my being an introvert. But this video sure gives me that Boost of Confidence. Thank you guys! Stay safe Always!!! 💖💝💖💝💖
Lol. Same here, fellow introvert. Started vlogging while cycling. Found several places where i am ‘alone’ of some sort, en then start vlogging. After i have done that a couple of times, it became easier. When camera (small one) is mounted on the bike, hardly anyone notices it, and you can do it with people around, they all think you are handsfree calling someone. But no remarks or weird looks. Big camera’s are easily noticed ofcourse. Small gopro? Only noticed by gopro fans. Just try it. Big camera’s with mic’s and dead cats on top is still a no go for me.
I (Suzi) and pretty introverted too, but practicing vlogging in public definitely makes you more confident over time. You can also ease into it by starting with your phone. Imagine you're Face Timing a close friend and speak to your phone camera that way.
@@Gemini_Connect Hi Suzi, you guys don’t come across like introverts! I myself have the added problem that english is not my first language. So, besides sometimes needing to find the right words, it’s still weird to talk english in public. But i am getting over it step by step; i assume listeners will understand that english is not my first language from the start, and are ok with it. It’s a big world . Introverts are smart people 😁 and will get the job done… in the end.
Very nice video thank you. I have the GoPro hero 9 as well and will be using that as my main Vlog camera instead of the iPhone as I believe it’s easier to work with in port production. I did have a few questions. 1. What settings do you use for vlogging? 2. How far out do you record and post to keep content rolling with limited time in between videos? 3. What do you use to edit your videos for final production? I have premier pro on my pc, and with my phone I use iMovie. Thanks in advance.
Good questions. Our recording schedule on the vlog channel is sporadic. We film whenever we travel, which is usually at least 1x a month, or as many as 4+/month. Each trip will generate at least 1-4 videos per week of travel. We edit them with the intent to post a new video each week, and the videos are usually on a delay from real time.

Enjoyed the video. I had done an actual walk around video on the KCC Farmers Market that you visited. Sub'd quite a while ago and enjoying your informative and entertaining channel. Mahalo!
Thanks for that, I'm definitely very self-conscious in public. But I'd like to start making some informative videos with a bit of vlogging involved. Also, with all the references to "Kona" around in the video, I'm guessing you guys are on the other side of the island from me over in Hilo. :)
We were actually in Honolulu at the KCC Farmers Market, but Kona was definitely representing with all of the food! Farmers market video will be coming to our vlog channel GeminiDiscover soon.
@@Gemini_Connect Ah, neat! The foliage looked about right for Kona and the only other identifier I saw was a Big Island shirt, so I jumped to the wrong conclusion. :D
Very true that’s why we went to the DJI wireless microphone system. I love that they also record sound to the mic so if I can’t connect the receiver like my insta 360x2 camera I can still get the audio. With the GoPro I use the receiver.
@@Gemini_Connect we liked the charger box and the easy with which the sound files can be downloaded from the mics unlike the rode system. I had the rode wireless single system it was just ok.
@@Gemini_Connect i m tied between DJi pocket 2 and go pro hero 10 for vlogging.. i keep missing things for my character and pocket 2 does have small parts so it's directing towards go pro But i like the shallow depth of field.. to some extent in pocket 2.... Please throw some light and help me out with your experience
Awesome share. I recognized it was Hawaii pretty early on.. had to keep watching to be sure it wasn’t the Upcountry Market on Maui 😆here.. I have started a 30 Day Vlogging Challenge movement, Just posted a video and a short, I hope y’all check it out & everyone is welcome to join in the creation Let’s have fun and bring more vlogging to the world!
Depends on the location. Rarely do people come up and ask us to stop. Legally, in the USA anyway, we can film in public places without permission. But on private spaces, the property owners can technically ask us to stop and we’d have to comply.
I want to shake off the shyness. I make it through an intro, then get tons of B roll to fill the rest of the video. I did notice a lot of other people with cameras at the auto show, so I felt less shy. I want to do this so badly, it’s worth feeling uncomfortable.
