This is my first “video blog post” from Bangalore, India. I’m thinking of mixing my writing with one or two video blog posts per week. The video would allow me to give everyone a better perspective of the places I visit. Maybe I could even shoot other videos and then compile them into mini-documentaries.
My writing and photos wouldn’t go away — the videos would just complement them and give me another way of reaching out to you, my wonderful my readers. 
Thoughts? First impressions? Please leave feedback below!
YES!!!!! combine all the mediums together.
And also, if you need a backup of your videos (in case youtube kills them) feel free to upload them to my smug account. Throw them in a private gallery.
Awesome! Thanks David!
YES!!! Definitely combine your mediums. I think we get a more well rounded experience of your experience! Thank you! <3
Cool! Thanks Jessica!
Video and Pictures, I am not much of a reader! I only read captions under pictures and videos. =)
Also can you speak in an indian accent? Bear Gryill speak with a british accent. I think it would be entertaining if you speak with an indian one. LMAO..I just pictured you doing it. HAaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha That’s HILLLLLLLLLARIOUS!!!
I’ll post more videos and pictures, but no, I won’t speak in an Indian accent. I’ll leave that to my brother.
I’d love to see you sit down with the camera once a week and tell us all best things you’ve encountered… you really need to have something to talk about with video… great to see your mug.
Thanks for the support, Ali! I’ll make videos a regular thing!
liveleak.com wont ever get deleted you can show tits and ass, its real good, theres also one that uploads to like 10 different video websites
Thanks for the tip, Todd, but I don’t think I’ll be needing to post any videos of “tits and ass” anytime soon.
you gotta ask youself, if you film and naked chick running down the street or a guy getting his brains knocked out with a hammer, will it be deleted if i post it? Sure it may not happen anytime soon but what about when you do have something? going change video hosting sites? why not preempt it and do it now. heres that other website http://www.tubemogul.com/ , another good feature would be the stats on your videos from all the website
If I do film something like that, I’d be sure to post it to liveleak and not one of the others. Thanks for the TubeMogul link. I’m actually already using it.
I like it!
Thanks Donna!
Love it mate. Brilliant quality and you appear to be a natural, because I really enjoyed watching even just this short update. Definitely keep it up.
Thanks David! I’ve never heard anyone say I’m a “natural” on camera, so that’s very encouraging! The quality of the video is indeed stunning. I’m using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 and absolutely loving it!
I want your camera.
Hey Linda! The quality is pretty amazing, isn’t it?
Here’s the camera on Amazon: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1.
I think the combination of writing and video suits you well, Raam. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and video is adding an extra dimension to this. I’m curious, though, how you are doing and what your first impressions are?
Hey Bart!
I’m doing great! I haven’t gotten sick at all (besides a slight case of travelers diarrhea). India is quite an amazing place and I’m loving it so far. I’m definitely more of a “rural” person, so the city doesn’t appeal to me very much.
In the city, everything feels really rushed, but outside the city things feel much more laid back. I’m staying on a remote farm right now and it’s incredible here.
I’ll have videos and photos up as soon as I get to a faster Internet connection. I’m using a dial-up connection right now.
what video camera are u using? the quality is incredible.
Hey Dan! The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1. I am incredibly happy with the camera so far.
The wife says, those “palm trees” are really coconut trees. But other than that… great video.
Doh! I should’ve known that.
Tell the wife I said thank you for the correction! 
I say get uncomfortable. You are skilled at writing. I think you can be come equally skilled a creating video clips, maybe better. Yeah, give video a chance. The Internet <3s video! You will be expanding your reach.
Hey Lis! Thank you for the comment! I had not thought of it that way and that really makes sense. I went on this nomadic journey to get uncomfortable and grow, so why shouldn’t I apply those same principles to my communication medium?
More videos are on the way!
