TheHill88 And Caitlin Hill’s Story

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I sat down with YouTube fame, Caitlin Hill. She is an actress, dancer, video blogger, blogger and is looking to get more involved with live video. I asked Caitlin to explain some of her greatest challenges. She says:

“The challenges that one faces when they are a video blogger is remaining true to themselves. There is so much criticism and when you are also editing yourself you get to see a side of you that you have never seen, and you become highly critical of yourself. You also start to change yourself to fit what the audience likes OR you change yourself to go against what the audience likes. It can shatter confidence and increase self-doubt.

The hardest thing I face now, is just getting back to basics and also just getting off my butt and making the videos I’ve been dreaming about for years. That’s the problem, I’m too lazy. Another thing that is hard is keeping up with it all. The Internet is 24/7, as we all know, and as soon as you close your eyes, your whole digital world can change. It’s not a very stable environment to grow up in ; )”

That was excellent. Caitlin’s videos are entertaining but it’s her perspective and instinct with media that impresses me most.

Hey Sarah,

Great interview :) Nice to see an Australian pop up on your show. Just wondering what is Caitlin doing nowadays (as in for work)? Looks like she’s living in a great Manhattan apartment!! I’m hella jealous
