This vlog came from Steve Garfield, the man behind the Off on a Tangent blog and author of Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business. It uses a "man on the street" technique to appeal to (you guessed it) the man on the street: he uses a handheld camera and is only seen onscreen when the interviewee asks him to turn the camera around. I normally wouldn't care about the event he covers (BlogWorldExpo 10), the guy he's interviewing (Mark Burnett, reality TV producer and current producer of Sarah Palin's "documentary" series, Sarah Palin's Alaska), or what they're talking about (the premiere of a clip from said show), but Garfield's use of a handheld camera and his everyday speech patterns make him into a surrogate for the audience; it's easy to step into his shoes.
