FRIDAY NIGHT [OT2] - Official NeoGAF Weekend Kickoff REDUX

<3

I'll post it once I've finished a new edit or trailer. Right now, it's pretty much inactive

I've tried everything from chasing trends to experimenting with different styles, but nothing seems to stick. I know I have the talent to create great stuff, but I've been off my game for the past two years. Honestly, I'm way too impatient to finish anything right now

whats the recipe nowadays, gotta be present on all platforms, gotta put out content constantly, what else?

It's just a damn grind. 1 part regular uploads, 1 part quality videos, 2 parts clickbait title/thumbnail, and 1000 parts getting lucky.

I'm not active on every platform, but where I do post, I focus on alternative trailers and edits from movies and series I (mostly) love

It's pretty niche I think, so daily uploads aren't really feasible

For example, I made this when the new Matrix trailer dropped a few years ago. I thought it could get some decent views but nah

I dont remember it being anything different, from conceptualizing stuff in 2010 until now, trying to get that bag. Social media engagement is the highest form of cancer too.

But this one is getting a fair amount of views daily. It even has a small part of Lucy in it hehe:


You need every platform, especially the fast moving ones like tiktok and facebook shorts.

I'll take a look as soon as I have finished this run of 'The Equalizer' clips, so in about 10minutes.
 
Seriously, I think Steam is pranking me. It keeps taking forever to verify the game.

I am just going to have to leave the laptop on overnight.

from a european standpoint and from somebody who watches stuff but doesnt produce:
i cant watch anything over 20-30 seconds that doesnt capture me immediately, when I notice it's american its a skip. everything is dragged out too long to get to a point they could have made in the first 30s.
both clips are something that I would watch in its entirety, and not just because you posted it here, it has a lot of value added.

you should keep this format and produce longer videos as a repository for people interested in your channel, but also drop short clips to increase channel interest.

its what I do as a user, i just click a username from a guy dropping interesting stuff and find a lot of interest in the long-er form videos

Thank you for watching and for the advice. I really appreciate it. I don't often get feedback or talk about the things I create. I'm very picky about the stuff I upload

So basically, I should keep doing what I'm doing, but start posting shorter clips or snippets on popular vertical-format social media platforms? I can do that.

from what I see, and I dont mind being corrected, you need to spread your content around. insta/tiktok/facebook/youtube with short clips, keeping youtube as your long-er-form stuff repository.
it's a lot of work but it could net you good engagement, maybe big bucks. these seem to be the steps.

Youtube has monetization stats you need to fill aswell, taking part in google adsense was a part of it when I was trying to find out what you could do aswell.

I've got a few ideas. Unfortunately, one of my drives died, so I have to start over on some things. It's nothing too major, though, and I'm definitely ready to get back to work

minor inconvenience. upload stuff privately tho, some stuff doesnt mind already being in youtube-format
This was a really exciting moment. Basically, someone from ComicBook.com saw one of my edits and wrote an article about it
thats it, get a hit, earn subs, dont be searchable apart from that account, do your agenda, dont be poltical
 
none of you told me about Mobland

none of you

p angy rn

edit: jesus watch Mobland. I admit that love Tom Hardy so much but man this series is balling.

I'm hoping when Wreckfest 2 comes out eventually on PlayStation 5, I can entice him and others to jump in.
We did the new touge track in Forza Motorsport. Both with a Trueno. The downhill sections are so intense and chaotic. He's a very good racer.

I think whenever racing games come out we should check interest.

Also @everyone I might do a stream next weekend of Jackbox Party Pack if you guys are around and interested.
 
notseqi notseqi (and everyone who's interested lol)

Uploaded my first short yesterday as a test. The video I linked in the Short is also starting to gain views

I typically get around 100/150 views on my channel within a 48-hour period. In the image, you can see the exact time I uploaded my first Short. The video I linked in the Short is also starting to gain views.

Obviously their Short format and vertical style make them easy to scroll through, which often leads to higher view counts in a shorter amount of time

Fun story of the day: how I inadvertently obtained someone's dick pills(?) (which were probably laced with fent)

Was driving to the store with my son, and we saw a pair or really nice leather loafers on the side of the road, and strangely they had rolled up socks in them. We made a joke about whoever was wearing them was probably struck by lightning but their shoes and socks survived. Anyway, really nice looking, expensive pair of shoes.

On the way back from the store, maybe 45 minutes later, we're driving home through the neighborhood and notice that they're still there. I asked my son to pull over, so he did while I opened up the passenger side door and swiped the shoes (with socks still in them). As I'm opening the door, my son says "hey dad, hurry up!", and I look back to see one of my neighbors rolling up behind us in their methmobile. As he starts forward again, they pull up right behind him, and they're riding his ass. We came to a four way stop, and I told him he should turn left (instead of right, which is towards our house) to see if they follow us - which thankfully they did not. But it was the first time I thought "maybe something is up with these shoes".

I take a minute to fully inspect the shoes - these are nice shoes. I remove the socks, and see that there is a pill bottle inside one of the shoes. I read the label, and it says "take one hour before needed for the symptoms of erectile dysfunction". I did not recognize the name of the pill, it wasn't Viagra. Given my neighborhood, this might have just been someone's drug stash they shoved in their dick pill bottle.

Anyway, the way he had turned left us in kind of empty lot thing that butted up against the woods, so I put the pills back in the shoes and threw the whole thing out into the trees. Might make a squirrel happy.

We were kind of dreading going back home, thinking the neighbor might be waiting for us, about how we might have interrupted some asynchronous drug deal. Thankfully he had already left by the time we got there, and nobody's said shit to us for the past six hours since this happened, so I think we're in the clear.

Important lessons were learned.

EDIT: this is what a methmobile looks like

Happy birthday man. How old are you going to be and what's the plan to celebrate?

I'm turning 41 years old

What's likely to happen is my brothers, their wives and crotchfruits come over and we eat Chocolate Cake and order pizza for dinner

What I want to do. Not involve my family at all. Go to Reno Nevada, Las Vegas or Amsterdam and go totally crazy for two weeks and yes that includes lot of weed and hot girls. But that involves planning and money (which I don't want to do right now, since I'm a cheapass). I would go by myself

But I'll settle for the family thing instead. As annoying they can get, they still family

Love the crotchfruits too
