Hi, Jess! Ok — I'm ALMOST through this vlog, but I wanted to interject here…..where you are talking about viewer attention to your videos — it MAY have something to do with your angel-like face and smile….so captivating, honest and just beautiful! I truly DO look forward to all of your vlogs and can tell you that I'm a fan for life! Your content is always "on-key" to your viewers — even this video, talking about editing styles! Thanks…..AS ALWAYS…..for a video so worth viewing. 😉 <3
Jess I like the way your videos open, I hate wasting time on "big repetitive" openings….and I love Daniel's music and smile!
What is your plan with the new UTube rules?
Jess, I know you are a very busy mama. However, is there any chance you could take a pick of my channel and give me a few pointers. You have been a great inspiration to me. I found your page back when you first released the cow panel trails video. Its just taken a few years to find my voice.
Thank you Jess and Morgan for making this series! My first videos were shot and edited on my phone(I have pulled most of them because of the subject matter – not the tech). I still shoot on my phone, but I now edit on Power Director. I talk to my phone, just like I am talking to a friend, and try not to think too much about getting caught up in the creative process. Regardless of the camera you use, the editing software, or the music in the background, people are drawn to authenticity and value (or density) in videos.
I've been enjoying these videos. They are different from what you normally do, but show another facet of your life. It is really interesting seeing the contrasts and likeness of thinking between the two of you! I have to say…your garden tours are riveting…I can't believe 40+ minutes have passed by when I watch them. Normally I would never spend that much time watching/listening to a video (unless it is Rain Country…I adore them too!). But they always keep me looking and guessing and learning, like I'm about to peek around the next corner and be fascinated…which I always am. Daniel's music too is so… "Home", "Pertinent", "Spiritual". It blends with your personality and what you are trying to share. It always sounds the same like a familiar cozy blanket, but varies in pattern and color too. I got a bit artsy there in description, but I think you get that.
This is getting long, sorry, but I truly think the biggest reason you have been growing the way you have is that Jesus shines through you, and your commitment to Him and His leading is palpable. He is blessing that spirit, I think.
Love these videos Jess!
Daniel”s music is one of the reasons I find your videos not only informative, but just a wonderful way to relax and get in touch with my feelings about gardening! Love it!
I like the free style vlog, that is what drew me to your channel
I really appreciate you doing this series. It is beyond helpful. I started my channel and have made 3 videos and I have been self discouraging myself. Thankfully I have all my old footage. After watching all 3 in this series, I feel like I'm ready to dive in! Thanks again.
I definitely need help lol wow
Daniel's music is one of my favourite parts of the vlogs. It feels like a soul massage when coupled with images of the farm.
Love that you both have such different processes. Just goes to show there are so many ways to do it!
Great info!! Thank you both for sharing
No lie, your vlog videos are my dreeeeeeam!!
I love watching both of you! Our homestead is a baby homestead in TX! We have our first garden, orchard, and a 50 flock of chickens, 2 geese and 9 ducks! Plus 4 cows!
I love your comment of living in a glass house. We homeschool and we want our kids to grow up with a hard a good work ethic. And watching you has so inspired me to see people with like minds! I look forward to journeying with you!
I love the subtleness of the music and he is a beautiful soul just like you and your family Jess ❤ You do you because it's awesome honestly.
Oh no! Wish we saw this before we deleted so much old video content! Thank you for sharing your thought process and heart!
Hi I truly have no money. And I am thinking of starting my own you tube channel. But I only have a smartphone. Is it possible to do it with no computer. Etc.thanks
Most important YouTube video series ever! Mom & Dad bought us a new camera and we gave you guys the credit in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6CgNqY0YJ0 Thank you!!
Gee… look at Ben… he has so many honorary aunties and uncles, I love getting to watch him grow up- I don't have kids- so thank you
Thank you so much for this series! so helpful
