When I was about 12 years old I got a hold of my dads video camera for the first time, from the moment I looked through that lens I never saw the world in the same way ever again. With this new tool I had come across I could capture anything I wanted onto film, this enormous obsession to film anything and everything took over my life. I began filming lots of home videos with the family and also started making short movies using my brothers like puppets to act in them.

A few years down the track when video cameras with the ability to transfer footage to a computer came around, I saved my little butt off for months and eventually brought one for myself. Now I was able to edit which was like magic happening before my eyes, I could edit my video clips by cutting, adding music, adding effects, using transitions and more.

When I stumbled across the website youtube.com I found this free space where I could upload and share my videos with the world. I began to communicate with other Youtubers (Youtube users/video makers) from all corners of the world, I felt at home with these 'Internet people' who I had so much in common with. After months of interaction with Youtubers from overseas and here in New Zealand online communities began to form and my video making became my 2nd life.

You may visit & subscribe to my Youtube channel here: www.youtube.com/patrickblog. There you can watch, comment, rate & favorite all of my Youtube videos.
