Pizza delivery man Paul Knight has been taking the internet by storm from his kitchen in Annesley, having recently won an award for Vlogging in America. Vlogging is a video on the internet, created by anyone. As Paul explains: "[It's] whatever you want it to be. It's [about] expressing yourself. A lot of people buy gadgets to film weddings or things that happen in their life - why not share it with the rest of the world? "I've put my wedding video onto the internet and it's been on iTunes for ages. Amazingly, I've had about 300 or so people watch it since I uploaded it last February." But it's not all holiday snaps and family videos - Paul, from Annesley, has recently been signed by BT Pod Show and has begun a new vlog series about space travel: "It's called 'Space' [and is] all about science fiction [with] a hint of comedy. It has all the old special effects from Doctor Who and what not - all [of which] are done in my kitchen. I painted the biggest wall in the kitchen green - [my wife] wasn't happy." But Paul's fans consider it a worthwhile sacrifice, as Space has proved highly popular:

"I can release an episode and within 24 hours at least 300 people have watched it." While Paul is now an award-winning vlogger and head of the UK Video Blogging internet community, his ascent into internet stardom was entirely coincidental: "[I got into it] by accident. I'd just got my new computer [and had] taken a 15 minute clip of my cat meowing. I found [that through] iMovie, you can slow down, speed it up and make the mouth move. I lip-synced it to 'Can I Play With Madness' by Iron Maiden. People loved it; I had loads of views and comments." Although he's received a People's Choice award in the Vloggies, Paul has no film background and has only dabbled in acting: "I've had no experience with the film industry; I didn't even do Media at school. The closest thing I got to acting was a couple of am-dram societies in West Bridgford and Beeston." Nottingham's own Confetti Studios provided him with the skills he needed to create vlogs, studying a simple 12 hour course with them in Final Cut Pro (an industry editing program). But, Paul urges, anyone with a computer and an idea can be a vlogger, with internet sites like Daily Motion and Youtube relying entirely on users to upload content: "The editing system you get on computers these days is just so simple to use. You just upload and paste it to your site - if you've got a decent broadband connection it's just a manner of minutes." |
