But these take time that I don't really have any more; I've got a girlfriend and we don't want to spend all that time on the road!
I tried to shoot a couple of 90-second news packages for a local news website but it was really hard.
I hate politics and I hate that breaking news cycle.
Off the top of my head, here are some things that I think would be fun
to shoot and edit:
Documenting local organised events. Not just the highlights; from setting up and packing down again, mishaps along the way.
From bin to...? Where our rubbish goes
Cancelled buses: why bus drivers are so hard to find
I feel embarassed to speak to people about these things.
The word "imposter" comes to mind.
I don't have any political agenda and I don't care about getting clicks via outrage.
It's about discovering how things work - how things really are - and sharing that discovery.
Alternatively I thought about shooting footage and uploading it "raw"
to YouTube and/or editorial footage stock sites. From there I could
pass it on to local news publications.
Keen to hear any advice on what I could do next.
Any YouTube channels which cover this kind of thing in a similar tone?
