Will your art survive?

This Issue should’ve had an announcement for the Creator Starter Package Giveaway but after a very inspiring community call we agreed that before we can do the giveaway the Channel has to hit 500 Subscribers.
So subscribe if you aren’t or share the channel with one other person to help us reach this milestone!

You don’t understand editing

While the basic technical skill of editing is easy to understand mastering that skill requires a deeply intuitive understanding of the interplay between action, framing, timing and pacing. Now the question is how can you teach something based in intuition? That’s what Sven and Dr. Karen Pearlman talk about in this insightful episode of This Guy Edits

If you want to create videos that are more impactful think about these points.

• The difference between Timing and Pacing

  Timing is about when a cut happens while pacing is about the speed of motion. That can mean the frequency of editing but also the action within a single shot.

• Trajectory Phrasing

  Is what Dr. Pearlman calls the technique of creating patterns, anticipation, and breaking established patterns to create emotional impact.

• Linking or Colliding Are the shots linking seamlessly into one another or are they colliding to disrupt patterns? Employing these techniques, can guide the viewer's attention and heighten the impact of key moments.

With that understanding you can build your editing skills to a level that distinguish you by creating a point of view that is your own. Instead of creating something that is uninspired and could easily be done by AI.

YouTube's Biggest Art Collab is Finally Finished

Over a year ago Art Creator Ten Hundred set out to create a collaborative artwork with creators from around the globe. The idea is that he would start painting a canvas before sending it out to another creator who would continue it in their own way. Continuously making it’s way from one artist to the next. Until finally making it’s way back to Ten Hundred’s Studio.

This series is one of the best examples how different creators can collaborate without appearing in each others videos. Any ideas what art we could create together?

Worldbuilding grew his YouTube channel

Rick Hertel’s channel just grew from less than 900 subscribers to 12K with one video in a week. In the video titled: I've Spent Ten Years Building A Fantasy World — How Worldbuilding Changed My Life he shares his journey of becoming an Artist and Content Creator thanks to starting a game of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) with his friends 10 years ago.

What stands out is that he openly invites the viewers to weigh in on the future of the channel and the overarching storyline of future videos.

Why do you think this video found a large audience and exponentially grew his audience? For me it was the title in the Thumbnail: How Worldbuilding Changed My Life that captures my attention. It promises a transformational story that I have experienced myself and I want to know how creating fantasy worlds has positively impacted others. Hearing his story also gives new viewers (like me) a reason to look at his library creating an instant content loop.

Food for Thought

Recently I’ve seen an influx of thumbnails that make me ask: Is this a real person? Featuring a person with a clearly AI enhanced appearance but then it turns out this is a real human in the video. The images do stand out, in an uncanny valley kinda way, but I hope this is a short lived trend that isn’t going to stick. But what do you think? Would you put an AI airbrushed version of yourself on a thumbnail? Let me know.
