Lately, I've been thinking about whether or not I should do one of those make a video every day for a month type deals. It's something that another of anime Youtubers have done and are doing, and it has its positives, but also negatives and, as I thought about it, I realized that I don't think I should make that decision on my own. I think it makes a lot more sense for you fine people to decide this sort of thing.

An important thing to note with this is that videos would, of course, end up being shorter for that month and would likely have much lighter editing and many of them would most likely be unscripted. Another thing is that, if I did do this, it wouldn't be for at least a couple months, as I want to get back into that FMA groove before I got and do something crazy like this. 

So, do you think I should make and upload a video every day for a month?

It’s just that, you’ve had to delay a few videos recently, and you’ve been working hard on getting the bigger stuff finished. I’m not sure a video a day would be right for you at the moment.

Lowart

Yeah, that's definitely a big part of it. If I did go for it, I'd be sure to have multiple videos ready before the month begins and to have all my ideas set out so that I know the videos can realistically be made within a strict time limit. Still, I see what you mean about the delays. It means that, for me, making a video every day for a month would be stupidly difficult.

Yes, I’m just worried that it might be too difficult for you. Extra stress and work isn’t something you need. I think this kind of thing would be better for the future.

IMO there are pros and cons to doing something like this. Pros: trying something new, challenging yourself, actively deciding to put less effort and editing into videos due to obvious time constants, (if it was me) cultivate a more relaxed Youtube experience and excitement of just throwing stuff out there. Cons: by all accounts it's exhausting and an incredible effort, people getting uppity over content, having that established commitment. Which is to say, I think if you view it as a challenge, something YOU feel excited about, and if it doesn't work out, no big deal, than could be really cool to try! I'm always down for more Lowart content.

I think it is a bit gimmicky. Sure, it can be entertaining, but it can also wear out quickly. I don't think it is necessary if you just want to make a vid every day for the sake of just making a vid every day. If there is an over-arching narrative or a theme or concept, then yeah, it might be worth doing. Then again, if the quality of the content will suffer too much, then I would say no.

Lowart

I totally agree about it needing to have some reason for existing beyond just "hey, I'm gonna make a video everyday because why not?" It can quickly end up wasting people's time. So that's good that you bring that up.

Lowart

Totally agree about the pros and cons, and I also agree that I should only do it if I feel excited to.

Could be lots of fun! And if you give yourself appropriate topics that lend themselves to that kind of quick, easy, almost podcasty style of video-making, I think you could actually have a lot of fun with it too. I’ve done a couple of portrait-a-day-for-a-month art challenges, and the gratification of completing a project every day is shocking. Pick your topics wisely, and it could be a great experience for you!

Lowart

Thanks for the encouragement, bud! That certainly sounds like a useful thing to do portraits. Actually, would I be able to see any of your work? I'd be curious to check it out :)

Braden Lock

Hey, my pleasure! And yeah, absolutely I’ll send you a couple of my pieces.

As for why some of the anime Youtubers (or even Youtubers in general) do a video a day runs, is that it at least was better at catching the youtube codeings to get on more sugested videos. However, if you're doing them just yourself, you may very well wear yourself out, and not like what you're doing anymore, not to mention having your stellar quaility suffer. And ultimly that's the big two reasons you are uploading videos, because first off you enjoy it, and secondly you know you do in depth quailtity videos.

Lowart

I think Patreon has a DMing thing, so I guess you could send them to me through there?

I'm in support of you doing like a period of sped up video production, but maybe not every single day. Like maybe two-three times in a week with no specific day so you can be fluid with it. That way you can get many videos out in a month, that would still be upwards of 15 videos in one month. While at the same time you could take some more time to refine whatever it is you are trying to do and have more of a chance to evaluate the things you say. You'd get tons of new videos out, be able to explore different things, but have more time to give them some quality and tuning, and it doesn't apply as much pressure on you.

Lowart

That's a great way of looking at it! After all, there's no need to just do one every day or one every week; I could always aim for something in-between. Thanks, bud! That's a good idea :)
