How do you come up with your video ideas?

[CookieLovingZombie]

Most of my ideas come from watching cartoons like Adventure Time or weird films like The Holy Mountain.


Since all my sketches are what I call 'micro-sketches' they don't take long to write. I use website called Celtx. I could use Word but it just feels more professional using a website which has real script writing tools

After watching something like That 70's Show or Invader Zim (completely different genres) me and my bro laugh and say a lot of stupid things and then we say "hey, that should be in the next video!" and start from there

My videos are how to instructional so I suppose that makes it easy for me. I just say ok Im going to make a video .. and I make one. After I slam out a thousand videos or more it might start becoming more difficult .. or at least I will need to be more selective in choosing what topic I cover.

I get ideas at work all day - I've got a pad of paper that I write them all in and build off of them. People talk about stuff that makes me get ideas, when I'm out and about I get ideas. Inspiration strikes at all times!!

I start with a topic I know and try to formulate a show around that. My videos have structure of, Intro, body, outro, so I just write pieces that fit that mold.

I use Google Drive for my outline writing, it's great since I can access it at work, home, on my phone or iPad.

Recently I've planned nothing and just talk to the camera. I improvise, I watched Hank Green's advice about editing vlogs to help cut out everything that wasn't needed. That helped me a lot.

I'll usually be just be living life when all of a sudden something happens or something reminds me of something to Vlog about. And usually I watch yotube Vlogs at nght so when I'm done/going to sleep all these ideas rush into my head. and then when I want one immedietly I look around my room while I think haha.

Work is where I get most of my ideas too! I work in an art gallery, so I am surrounded by creative people and stuff. I have a notebook I keep in my pocket as well.

I come up with my ideas when I'm with my friends, at school, doing homework, shower,when I go to bed, listening to music, and just getting deep into my thoughts daydreaming. I improvise on them while I'm creating/editing

I have a notebook where I write down anything that comes to mind that could potentially make a good video. Sometimes I'm able to develop it into something, but often I just end up saving it for later use.

i also do the same thing but i always end up procrastinating and it is so annoying lol but i gotta work on it..this is a good way to come up with ideas along with being on the toilet and shower
