Youtube
I have been fiddling around with video editing software like Camtasia 8 since I was a teenager, most often just making funny videos for my friends.
In 2021, I began a YouTube channel revolving around my favorite game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. While initially simple in nature, it began to grow, and I started learning about all aspects of video production, including researching, writing, voicing, editing, graphic and thumbnail design.
My YouTube channel has been my favorite avenue for improving my skills between bouts of university and travel.
While many other channels aim to be entertaining through clickbait, my aim is to be entertaining and informative through objective information and logical speculation. I believe that quality trumps quantity, and that is what I strive to be.
Researching
Every good video must start with good research, diving deep into forums, HLTV, whatever it need be.
Writing
While many other channels' goal is to drive views though opinions and misinformation, I aim to provide factual information in an engaging way. Striking a good balance between information and hooking entertainment is difficult, and scripts therefore undergo many revisions.
Editing
After voicing, Sony Vegas Pro is my tool of choice and videos undergo hours of meticulous editing in order to achieve a concise flow.
Thumbnail
The final piece of a good video is an intriguing thumbnail to attract viewers.
