RT! Controversial findings

So it seems that, even if I am right about YouTube and Online media domination in our region - Europe, TV advertisement and popularity grow bigger in other regions. Interesting - have to look into this! yay :)

RT! & C3P! YouTube Creator Academy - Maximise Your Channel - 100%

I'll just brag a bit :)

RT! & C3P! Silly Shorts - working on an intro/outro for the new channel.

So I've been wandering for a while - creating a new YouTube Channel (which is a pain, or was, at least) and committing to regular posting there, or, trying to create content for my existing channel, but completely overhauling it from its initial goals. Which is no good. Luckily, now we have our Research Project on the way, and with me taking up a topic of content creation for YouTube - making a new channel would work best for me, my research, its artefacts and so on. Without further ado - "Silly Shorts" intro/outro evolution.

Any thoughts?! :)

CONTEXT 3 Portfolio! Inspiration One

I thought it was just about time to document my inspirations. I will start with the One I found recently, but I think I am getting moved by it. A bit. Like a tree by a truck. But I love it. I never thought that this kind of film, person, life, would resonate with me so much, but "hey!".

Casey Neistat 

I will never remember his name and I won't ever forget his videos.

RT! InVideo Programming on YouTube

So here is an interesting thing I've learned today! InVideo Programming is an awesome feature on YouTube that lets you watermark your videos with your channel logo and suggest something like your latest video on vids across your whole channel.

Researching Things! YouTube Space and Creators Academy

Starting a year with a bang! I always wanted to make something recognizable on YouTube, but I never thought that this platform will grow so big and would actually envelop me in a full-year research project! But here we are!
The initial idea was to figure out what makes a video popular on YouTube, however now I see the picture is a lot bigger!
This week I have enrolled in a 3 week YouTube Creator Academy and found this breathtaking tour of their YouTube Creator Space! People, who where sceptical about that being serious - think again... And they say they've got one in London!
