iPhoneography is my main squeeze, but iVideography is making it’s way into my world as well. It is such a perfect and productive way to kill a few hours when on the road. Long bus or train rides don’t seem so bad when you are engrossed in the production of your very own reality series or Mother’s Day video for your mom (hope you aren’t reading this one, Mom).
This definitely won’t be turning into a “vlog” but I hope to have more videos up on The Blonde Gypsy soon. I’ve got an arsenal of video footage from Ukraine and Romania just waiting to be put together into some kind of wonderful. Not to mention a music video in the works for the rap song I recorded. You wish I were joking, but I am not.
Check out my latest article What gear do I need to start: iVideography on Matador Goods for recommendations on cool apps and accessories you can try if making videos using your iPhone is something that interests you as well. I am going to leave you with one of the very first videos that I ever made entirely on an iPhone. It’s from when I was in Romania and is totally amateur, but at least you can see some of the video apps in use (I was using iMovie, Splice and 8mm at this point). Maybe even get a good idea of what NOT to do ;)
P.S. Have to mention that although this video is up on Youtube, I am in the process of making the switch to Vimeo for all my travel related videos…
you made that entire video with your iphone??? i feel like ive been hiding under a rock.
my flip camera shuts off when too cold, my g12 takes crap videos, and my computer crashes everytime i try to edit a video i upload. maybe its time i engaged in a little bit of iFun myself.
and btw…you’ll like vimeo a lot more :) at least i do…
thanks for more iphone inspo as usual!

Do you have an iPhone? If so, then for sure get on board! If not, get an iPhone and then get on board! Seriously can do so much stuff with it, it still amazes me. Vimeo seems harder to search but it’s probably just me. I do love the interface so much more though.
i have an iphone coming next week. i used to have one in the US but got tired of it b/c i used email a lot for my old job and the keyboard was just not conducive to typing long emails… but im about to regain my iphone groupiness (truth be told…my friend is selling me her old one here…)
ill be stalking all of your articles as soon as i get it for help!
and vimeo is a bit more difficult i think, but like you said, the interface is great! it looks more professional too, in my opinion. have a great weekend!
Cool! Hope you’ll also get on the Instagram bandwagon. It’s addictive!
Wishing you a very nice weekend as well :)
I really like this, I’ve made a few or tried but none came out quite anything close to as cool as this. You definitely sound different than I would have imagined but I never imagined anything so there we are.
Make some in Stockholm, from a night dJing etc etc… I have one of a long trip from Managua to Corn Islands I’m working on but I assure you, it’s vanilla compared to this.
Most travel bloggers should stay behind the camera, you should spend more time in front of it.
Tips hat,

Oh, do you mean that you didn’t know I sounded like a man?
I could definitely make more and I should make more since I am getting so frustrated with writing but it’s kind of hard – like, LOOK AT ME. Have DJ video footage but saving that for my music video – thought about shooting specifically for a Vlog type entry but then it always turns into “But what’s the point?”. What’s the point of anything we put on our blogs though I guess is the answer. I’ve got one more video I could throw up from Transnistria, maybe will do that.
Thanks for the encouragement/compliment.
Curtsey (or whatever ladies are supposed to do),
hahah you don’t sound like a man but you should make more videos. Like get in the habit of just making 5 second clips 5-10 times a day mix it and boom.
I’d love to see more of Stockholm and so would the world.
Tips hat,

I’m not in Stockholm. Don’t you read my blog (or Facebook status updates)? C’mon, Robert! http://blonde-gypsy.com/2012/06/04/meet-mollan-coolest-neighborhood-in-malmo-sweden/
Good tip though on the 5 seconds, 5-10 times a day. With such sound advice one would think we would have seen a lot more about Little Corn on the vlog/video section of SHABL, no? :)
Oh yeah “Dracula” looked incredibly uninspired.
