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!

Happy Birthday to Half of my Life

 ...actually a fourth, or maybe a third, but anyway, "Mažasis Genijus" is now eleven and it has been with me a while.
 "Mažasis Genijus" is a company I worked for for about 5 years. Yes, It might sound weird, as you don't usually do that, right? "Microsoft" has been a part of our life's for a very long time, in some cases it has always been there (which is scary, by the way), but we don't actually celebrate a Happy Microsoft Day every year!
  For me "Mažasis Genijus" is special, as it introduced me to definitions of respect, goal, fellowship, responsibility, dependability and friendship. It was the firs place I was acknowledged as a part of a team, as a partner and as a film maker. It was a place where I met many incredible people, many of them became my friends.
  It isn't fair, however, to make this company solely responsible for the best times of my life. The people that brought it to life, gathered so many others around them and are still holding the flag, they are my heroes and friends, and partly, family. However, I am sure they would't mind being summarized into one proud name called  "Mažasis Genijus" .

 I made this clip for them.

P.s. "Su Gimtadieniu" on the cake means "With Birthday", or "Happy Birthday" in Lithuanian.

Year One Passed

And so, Year one is officially passed. I am not familiar with UK's evaluation system, so I am not really sure if I am very excited about my results, however, I met our lecturer Deborah the other day and she said 66.8 is quite a good mark. So I guess I should be excited. Either way, what I know, is that I will be really excited when these marks bring other results, like a proper job, for example. So, onward, to 70% and beyond!
