There are a lot of people out there creating content lately. Despite the internet speed in PH, we use social media A LOT to share random things. A new breed of content creators pop up lately! With that in mind, I want to know The Tech Behind some of the famous personalities, tech or not.
Meet Isa Rodriguez!
She’s currently the Lifestyle Editor over at GadgetMatch (a site I personally follow). She used to go to law school until her love for blogging and social media prevails! Now she gets to do what she loves so much! I got a chance to have a little interview with this lovely lady and her personality really shined through! Hehe.
URTechie: How did you first get into blogging/vlogging? What made you go for it?
Isa: I grew up without Facebook or all these social media platforms – we had Yahoo Messenger, MIRC, Xanga.com and Blogspot.com. When I was in highschool, having a blog was just a way to express yourself and tell a story – and I like telling stories. 🙂
URTechie: What inspired you to start blogging/vlogging?
Isa: I guess you could say that I’ve always been interested in expressing myself and this was a way for me to do so.
URTechie: Were you into technology for a long time?
Isa: I’ve always loved the internet and I’ve always been fond of social media but I was never really a “techie” the way other members of the GadgetMatch team are. I do lifestyle-tech content so it works for me. But, I’ve also learned so much tech stuff from the team!
URTechie: What’s your daily driver?
Isa: I still have my iPhone 6S that I use in between review phones.
About GadgetMatch…
URTechie: This one’s a doozy. Favorite GadgetMatch teammate? Why? ?
Isa: Haha! When I first received this email and read it out loud, Chay said, “It’s me, obviously,” so I’m gonna say it’s her. ? No, but really, I love everyone on this team and I think it’s great that we’re all friends and not just colleagues. <3
URTechie: What other gadgets/apps do you use to help in vlogging?
Isa: GadgetMatch uses Sony cameras with other devices that vary depending on the circumstances, or what gadgets we’re writing about at the moment. We have a studio set up at HQ and for remote coverage, we travel with a ton of equipment. Michael Josh, Kevin, Chay, or Rodney would be better able to answer this question – they taught me all I know!
For my personal vlogs, I use whatever phone I’m reviewing to shoot or my FujiFilm X-A3 (the pink one!) and a Joby gorilla pod. Most of us edit on Final Cut Pro.
URTechie: What else do you do besides writing for GadgetMatch?
Isa: I also have a personal vlog! I make videos about the different things I try, places I visit, and the things that happen behind the scenes.
Speaking of her vlog, here’s one on her Dumaguete food trip! (I had to pick this one, Isa! ?)
URTechie: Anything you would like to plug? (Social media, featured video)
