Now, this is just an idea I literally just came up with at 4:30 AM, but I am gauging interest.
I've been watching the YouTube series "
Becoming YouTube" by user ninebrassmonkeys, which is a documentary series starring many of the most famous YouTubers from the UK. (It's amazing, watch it).
But anyway, they discuss what it's like to be a YouTuber, what it takes to be a YouTuber, how to succeed as a YouTuber. And it's all very interesting, but there's a trend I've noticed with things like that. Not only this series, but other things like partnerproject and pretty much anytime anyone does any kind of interview with a YouTuber. They always speak with people who've already "made it." They speak with people who do this for a living. These YouTubers speak from the perspective of people with a lot more of a margin for error than the little guys.
I have a feeling people might have slightly different opinions if they don't get hundreds of thousands of views already. If they still have to keep their day job.
So I want to know what those people have to say.
My idea is to just ask a group of small youtubers a list of questions and put together sort of a "documentary" piece (although not to any kind of professional quality standard. Just clips.) where we discuss YouTube and being a creator on YouTube.
For this piece I'd like to involve small, but active, devoted creators. By that I mean, you have an active channel with regular uploads and a decent following, but your videos still do not generate any significant amount of income.
I"m thinking people with perhaps 400-5000 subs (with proportional video views).
I need people who speak clearly and confidently and can record their faces with decent quality. You don't have to have a DLSR, but I mean, I just want to be able to see your face.
Also it would be nice if someone could provide music for the project. Just light, happy sounding loops pretty much.
Anyway, that's the idea. I'm gonna go to bed and come back here later. If you're interested let me know, and with enough interest I will PM more details.
