A few months ago I asked on my FaceBook page “What kinds of events should I start doing?” A few people suggested I start doing car events. I am not a car guy. I said I would do a car event if it fit in with the other events on my YouTube channel. A good friend suggested I go to Hell. Hell, Michigan has a yearly car event all about hearses.
If you enjoyed this video please share it, commit, thumbs up, and subscribe for more event videos.
The debate has faded when it comes to wired vs wireless, it is no longer “what is better?” as it is “what should I use?”. Honestly what I hear the most is “why are we not using wireless?”
I still feel if I can get away with a wired microphone, that is what I go for. If the person is not walking around, and the wire is not a trip hazard, I see no reason to go wired. Although there is less chance of interference today vs ten years ago, I still feel like it is simply more reliable.
So what sounds better. I did a comparison video with 2 different types of the same microphone: Shure sm58. This microphone is a staple of the audio/video industry and you can find at least one around any studio. When you watch this still keep in mind, this is what is sounds like in my camera (Panasonic HPX250) on auto mode with no post done on the audio. Processors make a big difference so just because it sounds like this on my camera, doesn’t be you won’t find a difference on another camera or soundboard. Another big thing is with wireless you have to have a receiver so it may sound different depending on the receiver you are using as well.
Another VidCon came and went and here are the 3 videos I did for my channel 🙂

I have never made a demo with the intent to find work before. Networking has always been the key to finding work for me.
I am told however that I should have a demo. While looking for footage to use I found a demo that I completely forgot about. It was made as a part of a show I was doing for college credit. This demo was never shared before today and was only used as apart of a box set that was apart of my senior credit when I was apart of The Quad Spot.
The Quad Spot was a podcast that was about “The Next Generation of Youtubers”.
I am currently working on a similar show that focuses more on the topics mentioned in the demo, as well as merging traditional media with online and social media. (more information visit StreamLine Buzzer.
I included a Quad Spot clip (I liked the intro I edited) and some various events and footage. I didn’t not include lecture, multi-camera events, or any of the man on the street footage. I just not sure what all to have in a demo reel and how to present it.
