How do you come up with your video ideas?

What do u guys do to come up with ideas? what stages do you pass through? how long? E.T.C...

For me Most of my ideas come from when i am sleeping and when im watching other vids. I Write them up in a word document and when i need ideas i just look through it and pick out the ones i need/want.

We have a dry erase board. I usually come up with most of the ideas on our channel. I channel my inner Johnny Knoxville/rob yreck and see what comes ou with what we have lying around the house.
 
So interesting to read other people's thought places.

I try an avoid going into think mode before sleep but my morning coffee is a great time to get ideas because I'm in comfy leisure mode.

But usually I get ideas from whatever is prominent/reoccurring in my life at the time - so maybe a cool discussion, a theme that keeps popping up in my head or sometimes even just from thinking about what kind if videos I'd like to be making.
 
I have a notebook where I write up my ideas, I like to write at least one every two days. When I go to record I pick out whichever one I'm in the mood to do or the one that I think will fit best with my current content.
I don't really know how the ideas themselves come into my head, I suppose it's a combination of watching other videos, thinking about my own life and thinking about what I'd want to see.
 
well i just go through my day and every time a idea pops in my head i wright it down then i use that in video and it works most of the time. But remember everyone is different come up with your own way to think about YOUR video.maybe try just sitting and watch videos and relax and think about it and good luck with your video! :)
 
I usually always have a bunch of very bad ideas that I then upgrade on until I think it's good. Then my girlfriend tells me they're still not enough and gives a twist on it and then the idea becomes great.

Occasionally mine will be good... lol

Just kidding, but really I feed off of my really weird imagination and note down everything that passes through it, just in case!
 
I steal them!! JK, i get mine while i'm driving or at work. My problem isn't thinking up new ideas, it's that i have soo many i can't decide which one i should use next.
 
I try and put myself in my viewers persecutive and think what would they want to see.
Also just asking them in my videos or in real life.
I met a marketing manager one. I explained my channel and asked for general advice and I got a bunch of good ideas from it.

Also the just randomly come to me.
