It might not sound like it, but VEDA can be insanely challenging. Uploading 31 videos in a row doesn't seem too difficult compared to the numerous successful daily vloggers on YouTube, but VEDA is a whole new kind of challenging.
Not only is August a busy month with school starting, but you are also feeling under productive due to being on summer vacation. That accompanied by lack of ideas and a time crunch to film, edit, render, upload, and CC all in one day can start to get stressful; especially when you have other things that need done.
Since it was my second year of VEDA I did feel a lot more prepared and I was aware of the problems I will face farther into the month. For example, I never just filmed one video at a time. I tried to film about three. That way I didn't have to look presentable to film everyday. It also eliminated laziness that comes with constant repetition.
Another major help I had was having back up videos. Especially farther into the month, you never know what could come up. This year I had my Five Nights At Freddy's videos (which I filmed in March), for example, to fall back on. Not only was that four less ideas I needed, but it was also a chance for a break from constant editing and stress.
I found video ideas to be a lot easier to come up with this year. Unlike last year, so many other smaller youtubers were also participating in VEDA. Many of them made videos I really enjoyed and had opinions on myself. So what better thing to do than to turn on my camera and jump into the conversation they started with a good old fashioned video response?
I'm insanely proud of the videos I managed to produce this VEDA. I wasn't just making content to make content; I made each video with a message in mind that I wanted to get across. It has been a challenging month, but the achievement high I got from successfully completing VEDA made up for it all!
If you didn't know I had a YouTube channel or missed out on any of the videos I uploaded this month HERE is a handy playlist of all 31 videos! Grab a cup of tea and a snack and enjoy your mini marathon!
