2012 is shaping up to be fantastic already. I'm too excited for exclamation marks even.  Since you've taken the time to read this, I won't disappoint you today.  This photo is how I'm capturing the vlogs you see on my YouTube channel "jubajer" which is more easily found by searching "Jerry Arbs".  Using a Shure condenser mic, Canon EOS 550D, lots of lights and some small tricks in studio, I plan to further boost my quality in the next video posted this Thursday.  I also plan on a short Photoshop tutorial video, introducing newer users to the basics of how to navigate through the application and also how to create and use layers, and masks within those layers for some awesome effects.  I do have one other video to post, but I don't quite know if it's something for YouTube.  I'd like my viewers to see consistency through my videos, and by that I mean good production quality, not handheld junk, but this seems worthy of a good listen.  Anyhow, if you have questions, ask away. If you have snacks, come on by.

So I'm back at it, and glad to be.  Being able to look out and know I'm speaking to anyone in the world who may be listening, is awesome.  I recently saw that I had one individual view from Kazakhstan, which even just as ONE view, made my day.  Now posting a vlog every thursday with a better set up, more crisp image and an all-round better clearer mind set is very exciting. I hope the viewers enjoy what is happening in 2012!

There's the link to the new Boss 302 video posted today! Been lots of editing hours into this project and hope to get a lot of feedback from everyone!  Lots of projects in the works for 2012 and they're well on their way as you read this.  Show your friends. Show your wife, your kids and even your husband. I'm showin' everybody up in here. 

Aww SHOOT!

So I started shooting my latest project this week.  This is what I would consider the beginning of something extraordinary, being my first proper quality video yet.  I've shot a lot of silly shorts, and piddly projects, but haven't had the equipment to do what I really wanted to get out there, and this is one of them.  The shoot went well, even with the extreme time constrictions, and I had the help of my friends. A small number of people kept it very simple for moving around and organization.  I also learned to make sure to storyboard for the next project more efficiently to have locations planned come shooting day.  Now it's on to edit 30+ Gigs of footage, and to dub all audio.

Going through the details in the script, trying to remember lines. ;)

Headed to the Gala

Off to watch "Woman in the 5th" at the film festival last night. Had a fantastic time with my date, a great crowd and made a very unique friend in the business who I hope to keep in touch with. His whole production crew was very welcoming and I look forward to their next project.  As for my understanding of the movie we viewed...   ....after missing the first 10 minutes or so of this psychological mind game, we were both completely lost. Hahaha.  Great time either way.

The behind the scene blog stuff starts here!  This is what the cake from my Shick & West 49 "Break the cake" competition ACTUALLY looked like smothered on my face, unlike how it seemed in the video. ;)  That red writing? Yeah, that could have been glue by the way it adhered to my face. haha  That Light behind me on the chair, was actually DIRECTLY visible in the video shining right at the camera which most people haven't noticed yet. ;)  My favorite part of filming?  When we went to shoot the scene where I lifted the cake to my face, just as I was in upward swing the camera beeped and died before we got it.  Then we were left with this mess on my face and no shot of the cake hitting me!!  That's why we used the low table shot in the final video to hide the face imprint second time around. If you look closely at the first time you see the cake, you can actually see that it's a little messed up. ;)  P.s. This is the video that won me my iPad!

The video I'm talking about is right here --->  Break the Cake Competition Video

Look who made ME laugh ( A Must see!)

So I've been stalking this girl for a while, and it turns out I'm busted.  Not only busted, but exposed! Hahaha.  I saw this and almost rolled off my chair in laughter while probably blushing!  This is Cupcakeandtea on youtube.  It turns out her and I are the only male and female YouTube vloggers in the city of Sudbury.  Population? Almost 160,000.  Video Bloggers?  2.  JubaJer & CupcakeandTea.  How's that for an army? Well she's got her own army as well.  She's also got this interesting personality that's fit for a vocabulary contest and creative outfits like you'd never expect.  I give props to her for every detail put into them.  I think we'll be seeing more of each other in the future. :P
