Well, being in front of a camera has never been incredibly comfortable for me. Throughout high school I spent a lot of time behind the camera and in the editing room, creating short films, mockumentaries and sketches. I loved it, and it’s one of the things I miss doing a lot of. I regained some of that passion when I started doing some audio production - which is a whole other beast - but in a lot of ways, got me back into editing on the computer and tweaking things to get them just how I wanted them. So, being behind the camera or editing desk feels completely comfortable, but sitting in front of the camera…well that’s another story.

Over the last few years I’ve been broadcasting more and more, whether it be on community radio or podcasts, I’ve been getting a kick out of entertaining and speaking to audiences. The common theme of course is that’s all been behind a microphone. No one could see me. I’ve decided to take things into my own hands and change all that! My YouTube channel will mostly be pop culture themed. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll have noticed blogs about comic books, animated series, superheroes. I podcast about film, video games and technology. I’m going to try to incorporate all of that into the YouTube channel, with some blatant cross promotion of course. In fact, my face may not be the only new face you see. Lachlan & The Colonel could soon be seeing a switch to YouTube, though the audio podcast will continue.
