[Blindtlk] Doing Videos as a Blind Person

[justin williams]

Do what si comfortable unless you are trying to present a certain image.  If you can't focus your eyes, and if it distracts from your presentation, then maybe where the sunglasses. Or, just state in the beginning fo the video, that you are blind, and so if it appearsif my eyes aren't focusing, then that is why.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Doing Videos as a Blind Person

Hi everyone,

I’d like to ask a sort of odd question. I like to do videos on Youtube for my website. Everyone seems to enjoy them, as far as I can tell. But yesterday, a friend I recently met suggested to wear sunglasses. He said it might be odd for people to see my eyes, since they aren’t focused. I have no vision at all, and I can’t control my eyes.

I don’t know what I think of this. No one else has said they were bothered by it. And I don’t want to appear as though I am ashamed of my blindness. I’d like to see what others would say.

And this friend means well, even if it seems a bit rude. I just want to see how others handle doing videos, who are in a similar situation.

Thanks,
Brandon
