So today I made a YouTube channel and a nice shiny video to go with it.
I included two people on here: Peter McKinnon, and Casey Niestat. Casey you've all probably seen before. He's incredibly talented and just sold his company to CNN for a gazillion dollars. His company, by the way, that he built while vlogging, riding a boosted board, and flying almost constantly. He won GQ's New Media Man of the Year and his videos are incredibly cool. The pacing is awesome and he does a good job of keeping everything within a storyline.
Peter McKinnon is a newer one, and his YouTube channel is exploding right now. He's a wealth of knowledge in cinematography, photography, and editing all of it. Every time I go watch a video on his channel I feel as though I've learned something new. It's awesome. Go watch them both.
The videos could be a regular thing. Who knows. During the rounds of interviews last fall some of the feedback I got was that they wanted some "on-camera" of me. It's something I've really not done before, but I'm getting better. This is my way of getting it out there and pushing a little more into being comfortable on camera and figuring out the right pacing, and how I need to work all of it in. It's actually incredible just how much work it is to make something like this on the fly and then button it up in post with a quick turn around.
I think that's why Casey Niestat is really so cool at what he does. He did a new video EVERY SINGLE DAY for almost two years. Shot, graded, edited, mixed, published and BOOM.
Thanks for watching! If you're not (nobody is.. it's cool) already, go subscribe to me on YouTube. I don't know how any of it works, but they say more subscribers drives more interactions, which blah blah blah. Just go do it. Thanks.
