Hi all,
I've always liked the idea of having a YouTube channel but often I can't keep to an idea.

I've had one channel which grew well and I kept at it for a while but after a few months it got boring because I found the type of editing the channel required boring. I was doing an information channel and all the editing that took place was recording a voice over and then having Google images to play during the voice over. I enjoyed the script writing and the research but the editing was such a bore.

I love to make short relevant films that are relevant to everyday people like Dan Mace does but I don't have an interesting life as I'm at school.

My real passion is football (soccer) and football refereeing. I would love to have a football talk show but no one I know would want to be in it. I would love to make videos about and surrounding football but my main discouragememt is that I'm just repeating what someone else has wait with a news aspect of it. As I said I would love to do something in football but I'm also open to suggestions about the above.

Thank you

Firstly, welcome to the forum!

I think the idea of a talk show is pretty nice, especially if you can dedicate a corner of your room to be your ' studio' so you have a consistent background (and maybe even put up a greenscreen?). You don't need guests for a talk show (just look a the Latenight talkshows etc).
I think your love of scripting and research would work very well in combination with football. Maybe start off with focusing on the most recent events. Like, highlights and/or analysis of the past week. If you're okay with being on camera, I can guarantee you it is much easier (and a lot more fun) to edit a video were there already is base footage (you talking) and you can add images or overlap it with other video fragments as you go.

Hope this helped a bit :)

I concur with Dutchie Abroad. She is quite right! I would add that perhaps, apart from commentary on matches, you can also dedicate videos to how the game is affected by management decisions (Stoke City appointing Nathan Jones as manager), PR decisions (Manchester United partnering with Stonewall), governance, rules, racism and politics. Why, because although these topics are covered briefly by the mainstream media, it's usually only when an "something happens", and the discussion is usually between the pundits. Would like to see in-depth discussion by an everyday Joe with a genuine passion for the game.
