The day after we sat through the Mike Wesch video I stumbled upon an interesting set of videos that made me think about the idea of youtube vlogs and really opening up to a camera. Andy Warhol did a set of screen tests with 13 actors and actresses. These are people who spent their lives in front of cameras pretending for the world, but when placed in front of a camera and told to just be, to just exist, these men and women seemed just as uncomfortable at times and vulnerable as regular people who pour out their hearts on youtube. It's interesting to see the reactions of first time vloggers to those of professional actors and actresses in a vulnerable state in front of the lense.
