Originally published on TheFlickcast.com.  9 August 2013.

Only five days after hitting the web, the Vlogumentary trailer is approaching 800,000 views. The documentary about video blogging is directed by Corey Vidal, and executive produced by Shay Carl. The two veteran vloggers released the trailer during a main stage presentation at last week’s VidCon 2013 to thunderous applause and plenty of tears.

Vlogumentary, which was previously titled I’m Vlogging Here, looks to be a poignant and honest portrayal of the impact of web video. The film explores the beginnings of many of the most popular YouTube channels as well as the art of vlogging.

Prominent YouTubers such as John and Hank Green (Vlogbrothers), Grace Helbig (Daily Grace), Toby Turner (Tobuscus) and many more are featured alongside dozens of lesser-known vloggers. Vlogumentary is set to release later this year.

YouTube’s favorite gal pals are making a movie. Hannah Hart (MyHarto), Grace Helbig (DailyGrace), and Mamrie Hart (You Deserve a Drink) will star in Camp Takota as announced at VidCon 2013.

Inspired in part by Mamrie Hart’s experience working at a summer camp, the plot of the film is pretty simple: Helbig is a twentysomething who finds herself returning to her old summer camp to work. There she runs into two old friends, played by Hart and Hart. Hijinks, humor, and booze are sure to ensue if the ladies’ history holds true.

The first trailer for Camp Takota released at VidCon 2013 and mainly consists of a lot of flubbed lines and laughter, much to the delight of fans. A booth at the convention let attendees sign up for camp, get a friendship bracelet and take their camp picture.

Camp Takota will be made available exclusively on pay-to-view platform, Chill.com.

Day two of the web video conference, VidCon, brought with it more amazing performances, the premiere of the Vlogumentarytrailer, long lines of anxious fans, and plenty of laughs.

ShayCarl and Corey Vidal’s documentary on vloggers and their community looks to be incredibly honest, touching and insightful. Previously called I’m Vlogging Here, the film revealed their new name, Vlogumentary and their trailer to the VidCon crowd. Afterward more than a few in the audience, me included, were misty eyed.

Attendees were also treated with another trailer, this time for the new season of the hit series, My Music. The mockumentary created by The Fine Brothers retains much of its format in the second season and stars Grace Helbig, Adam Busch, Jarrett Sleeper, Jack Douglass, and the rest of the main cast from season one.
