Minnesota stories; Clarity Production; Glimse of City House

I watched a few vlogs and this is the one I really liked. It had an informative message. I felt like the other ones I saw had no purpose; in other words they were a waste of time. This particular vlog informs us of a non-profit organization designed to help homeless people and those who have been in jail get their lives back on track. The volunteers in the program help people spiritually and emotionally; which in return makes those who are being helped want to help other people. It is really great to see that someone cares enough to make a vlog about this organization and try to promote this humanitarian organization. It shows that the creator of this vlog really cares about the community; he is not just wasting people’s time with pointless videos, but he is actually promoting a good cause. The filming and editing of this vlog look rather professional for a vlog; versus the other ones that I have seen (which were home movies). The image was rather clear, the sound was not too bad (although there were some back ground noises at times, but that is kind of inevitable), the editing was rather good as well; the creator had the names and positions of the people talking on the bottom of the screen.
There is another vlog that I watched as well called My Stories of Life which was also under Minnesota stories. I did not like the vlog so much just because the title was misleading. It did not have a story; but was a video of kids playing on a slip and slide and the creator was naming the kids as they went on the slip and slide. The creator however had a really great quote on his page: “Life is a daily opportunity for new exploration and life-long learning. The meaning of life is based on the people you touch and the stories you leave behind.� It would have been really cool to see a video that maybe had something to do with that quote.
