Still struggling to find a format for the creation of YouTube content, after numerous challenges and setbacks. I have found that game play videos are simply too long and involved to make good content – they are rather dull to watch, take forever to edit down, and I don’t have the gear to make them with any real quality. I have been tasked with recording my son’s football games each week, which gives me several opportunities to try out different ideas. However, due to various concerns around child safety and the sharing of the “secret” plays of the team, I don’t really want to start publishing those videos. And in reality, I can’t imagine it would be all the interesting for anyone who doesn’t have a kid on the team.
My new theory however revolves around short length content, perhaps 5-10 minutes instead. My theory is a running stream of projects, based around both the 3d printer, and my efforts to paint terrain and models. Since I have a fairly nice timelapse system set up on the printer (thanks OctoLapse), I can easily capture a build video from each project, which I can then add to with cleaning, priming, and painting content. My goal is a video per week, though of course that will be challenged by the rest of the busy schedule and travel.
However, step one is a reliable overhead film setup, the parts of which should be here by the time this is posted. Assuming it all works as hoped, I will post a build article and progress updates as I go.
First up is a fun project I have been eyeing for a while, to give me a nice desk ornament.
