I started this youtube channel to learn to make the content I watched when I was younger. I taught myself to edit raster and vector imagery, make motion design, produce video and live broadcast on tight deadlines, and make/manage a steadily growing online platform from scratch.
audience
The audience I chose were my friends I grew up playing Call of Duty with. They’re the ones who’ve watched flashy montages with Frankensteined gameplay/pop-culture clips since 2008. Their attention span may be short, but they still appreciate nostalgic edits and skillful play.
content
After dabbling with walkthroughs and tutorials, I built the techniques to make montages. The goal was to show real gameplay with a focus on narrative elements, rather than sacrificing the story for eye-candy alone. This style resembles the nostalgic montages myself and my audience remember.
