FAQ

 

Is 'Joey' your real name?

Yes, it is. It is how my friends call me.

 

How old are you?

Just turned 19 last April 9, 2007.

 

Why video blogging? Why not the ordinary blogging (writing)?

I just though of having something that could help me talk to people. I thought more people would listen and watch me if I do video blogging.

 

When did you start doing these videos? Why?

You see, I do basic non-linear video editing. I work on something for our class reports, documentaries, etc. Then there was a point in my life where I wanted to make use of the skill but have nothing to work on since school was over. One day, I was on youtube and realized that I can use the site for me to talk to people. And voila, video blogging!

 

Who helps you whenever you do a video?

Oh, you mean my production team? There are times when I need the help of my brother or sister to hold the camera, but most of the times, I do everything alone.

 

Why "Kaprito Stand By Me Productions"?

My class in college has this production group called "Prito Worx" where I am usually one of the video editors. In my country, the Philippines, whenever we use the prefix "Ka-," it is like saying "-mate." I was so attached to the Prito Worx that I used "Kaprito" on my one-man production, ergo "Pritomate." The "Stand By Me" on the other hand came from this silly song I sang in front of the class. I might do a video blog about that to explain further so stay tuned!

 

What are the stuffs you use to produce these videos?

I just use my four or five-year old camcorder, Sharp DV. And as for the editing program, I use Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5

 

Why co.nr as your domain?

I would have used .com only if I have the money. For my age, I still don't have my own enough resources to pay for that domain, maybe soon. The domain I am now on, co.nr--with the help of freewebs.com--is free and has good hosting reputation. As soon as I have the money for my own .com domain, I will upgrade my site to one.
