Loving YTtalk
Originally i started youtube because i liked to goof around with a camera and the idea of people commenting about my videos was exciting. after doing it for awhile i realize that i loved to do this and it was my passion and i dream of making it a career but i haven't had a lot of professional success. There is a very small group of people that tune in to watch my videos and comment when i make quality material but it doesn't quite give me any professional success. I don't make any money and it just kind of works as a hobby and that has been fine so far but since I graduated i've been getting more outside pressures. Right now i'm taking intro courses to a computer science degree and i'm rather good at what i'm studying my instructor even signed me up for two student competitions. I like the stuff i'm studying but i'm not passionate about it i don't dream about it. I am passionate about youtube though, right now i have signed up for a half class schedule (i'm in classes every day for 3 hours with a 3 hour workload outside of class) so that i can continue making videos but im getting a lot of pressure to take a full class schedule from the school and my parents. If i do i'm not sure if i'll be able to make videos properly or even at all. Im stuck i can either focus on a down to earth "real world" career plan, have security and not follow my passion or go after this dream and risk having nothing. what im looking for is other passionate people to give there advice on what i should do
 
Dionite Films is an ode to living your dream. We both uprooted and went to pursue our dreams. We quit our jobs, left our home towns and Roberto even quit school. We moved into an apartment together. Set up our studio and we are now doing YouTube full time. On the side we do freelance film stuff and use our YouTube style to make them so we are still having fun. Although we're not making a ton right now we are paying our bills and eating well. So we wake up every morning happy vs. waking up not wanting to go to work. We wake up ready to go to work and that is what I feel everyone should strive to do.
