Channel Change

If you read my blog regularly then you might have seen the video blog posts that I have been making. I have made a new short video to explain the fact that I have now created a new YouTube channel which I will upload videos to from now on. The link to the new channel is in the video but I will also put it here in case you'd like to watch my videos or subscribe.

Thanks guys! 

Cambridge Satchel Review & What's in My Bag Video

I've had a Cambridge Satchel for almost nine months now so thought it was time to do a proper review. When I was looking into purchasing one I found watching videos and reading blog posts really helpful, especially as the bag comes in all sorts of colours and sizes. I recently filmed a blog post for the first time and thought I would film this one too so that I could really tell you guys about the bag. I hope it's helpful!

Thank you so much to the people who gave me such lovely feedback on the first video, please subscribe if you like this one. I'd also love to see any videos you've made too, so please leave me any links.

February Favourites...Video

As I sat down recently to write a 'February Favourites' post I thought "why not film this one?". This is something that comes into my head almost every time I write a post on here...but this time...I actually did it.

I studied Television Production at university and both of my housemates are Cinematographers so I took full advantage of all of the filming kit we have around the house and went for it. It was so strange editing a video of myself but I can see why people enjoy making them. I had so much fun putting this together and I really hope you guys enjoy watching it. I don't know about you but I always love seeing the person behind the posts and feel like I can get to know them better through their videos.

Please let me know what you think guys, I'd really appreciate any feedback. If you make videos I'd love to see them too!

Organ Donation Through a Lens

This is a very different type of post to usual so I don't expect you all to be interested and I don't mind if you aren't. But it's about something that's important to me and something i'd like to share with you guys. I mentioned briefly a few posts back that I had entered an NHS film competition called Organ Donation Through a Lens. My three minute film 'It's Time We Talked' was shortlisted along with eight others and the film has now been on the Transplant Week YouTube channel for a couple of weeks. I still have until next Friday 21st to get as many views as I can. There will be an overall winner and the film with the most views by that date will be awarded the 'People's Favourite'. 

The film is about my friend Kate who underwent a double lung transplant last year. She is the most incredible and brave person I know and this is why I wanted to make the film. The film is aimed at young people and promotes the importance of organ donation as well as the fact that you should tell your family about your donation wishes if you do sign up. 

I love making films and it is such a great way of reaching people. This is such an important message to me and that's why I wanted to share it with you guys. Here is the direct link if you would like to watch the film or share it with friends and family.
