Man I found your channel a few weeks back and I love it. You deserve way more recognition. Keep it up! You are inspiring me to start my own channel to delve into topics such as this.
Your editing is so good! Also, the structure of the video, the quality microphone, the intonation, and facial expressions - it all feels... perfect. And I feel kind of silly because of course I'm only writing this due to the fact that you haven't blown up - I think I'd get sick of these comments after a while. But I am just baffled as to how it can be that this hasn't reached more people yet. Algorithm? Or do they not yearn for real content thanks to our fast-paced world? Although your delivery is quite quick (and I like it). I'm at a loss.
Thanks! Honestly comments like these a big part of the motivation to keep going. It's obviously super hard to grow a channel and very hard to know why certain videos will break out and get more views while others fall flat. You can chalk it up to luck or the algorithm not showing it to the right people but maybe it's just not a topic a ton of people are interested in. I guess my goal is slowly build a fanbase of people with similar interests but easier said than done.
This resonates with me. As a car TH-camr, I strive to shoot and edit my videos with creating art in mind, vs. just capturing what a car looks like on video (i.e. most car content). Relatively few of my viewers - I have a running less than 3% repeat viewership - seem to care about my approach. But it’s that small group who appreciates my “art” that matters to and motivates me to create art vs. content for clicks. As for _The Lights Going On and Off_ , it’s a neat in-your-face dynamic exposition of contrast, and color and shade/tint shift, that can only be achieved with the lights turning on and off. As for your content, it’s notable to me that since I subscribed to your channel just a few weeks ago, the number of AI-content-driven channels has increased. Thank you for being a biological analog content creator! I have more thoughts, but this comment is already long. Keep up the good work!
Great Video! Hopefully this shoots up above 60k views!🎉 Solid editing and storytelling. Myself, I’ve been trying to focus more on the writing and less on the editing. Easier said than done. I am curious- How much time did you spend editing, compared to Filming and Writing respectively? I’m consider adding my face to some of my videos and the insight would be helpful. Thanks!
Based on the first few days 60k is looking pretty unlikely with this one but I appreciate your encouragement! I spent a little longer than usual writing this one, had a few different drafts and it ended up longer than my usual video not sure how long exactly. Editing took a while too since I sourced a decent amount of clips and visual elements. As far as filming I can usually knock that out in a few hours if it's mostly just me talking into the camera.
The 17 year old version of yourself that wasn't brainwashed by the, "Hmm, this is actually a bold commentary challenging our notions of what counts as art," nonsense was the smart one. There are a million of these thing, and their only function is for people to ask these questions. There are plenty of questions you can ask about a Rembrandt self portrait that isn't just, "Is this art?" or "Who let this thing in here?" And it would have some answers too. Art isn't about what you do, but how you do it.
Also with the "Art is subjective thing." There are subjective elements to art - like how you experience it. But there are also objective aspects. I don't know why this is never acknowledged in TH-cam essayist land, but there are qualitative distinctions to be made.
You can apply objective criteria to art but you have to assign certain goals to it in order to do so. If the apparent "goal" of a piece is to capture its subjects realistically you can evaluate the realism of the anatomy, perspective, lightning, etc. And if you go to a formal art school you'll need to be prepared to have your pieces evaluated this way so you can continue to hone your craft. But much of this criteria simply couldn't be applied to a Rothko or Pollock. It's fine not to like those types of art if you prefer realism but that's a subjective judgement. And of course you get can get into the weeds with other kinds of art criticism talking about how well it conveys the artists intentions or elicits certain emotional responses but that all hinges on the tastes of the time and traces back to subjectivity in the end.
This video is art my friend!
I watched the whole thing. It left me inspired but also at a loss. Very good conversational topic.
For sure, lot's more to be said on the topic!

it is incredibly ironic and sad that there isn't even 200 views on this
That’s art, baby
Eloquently put... Thank you for this

Mmm Idk bro. I listened to a podcast about this - where a lot of your points here were obliterated.
What was the podcast?
If anyone finds that podcast my TH-cam career is over.
@thomaswarinner7768 I actually listed to a podcast where your comment here was obliterated.

So you wanna start an "Indie Rock Band"? Why didn't you say so in the first place?
I completed that phase of my life back in my 20s.
