I wanted to do something with art, and I saw this as an option, so I choose it. Now that I know more about it, I\u2019m glad I chose it. The people I met are fun and interesting, all with their own passions and talents.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">My creative work is focused on YouTube. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve wanted to do since I was a kid, and I love the idea of making videos for the internet. I mostly want to make video game content, like Let\u2019s Plays<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, since those videos are what made me want to become a YouTuber in the first place, and I love playing video games.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Something I\u2019m currently working on is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCEIXo-lbn6nKVL2QftD3RBA\">second part of a let\u2019s play series<\/a>, which is getting the \u201cKnight\u2019s Honor\u201d achievement in Dark Souls Remastered. This is a sort of standard video that\u2019s easy to make since it only really requires me to record footage of the game and commentate over it, and it\u2019s much like the videos I watched as a kid that influenced me into wanting to make YouTube videos. As this is the second of many videos I\u2019m going to make, I hope that someday I can get a following on YouTube and maybe make money from it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QipA3KAagus\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I only have two videos right now, one is the first part of the Dark Souls let\u2019s play, and the second is a more\u2026 random video. I got the inspiration to make this from another video I saw that was a bunch of clips from a TV show, where the host asks seemingly random questions over and over.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I thought it was hilarious, and late at night thought it would be fun to make my own version of it, with my own questions and statements. It started off with me just recording myself asking questions, but I hit a sort of block while doing so. I had all these ideas before hand about what to say, but in the moment, I couldn\u2019t think of much. I ended up with 10 minutes of footage, which after cutting out most of the pauses, I had about 5 minutes of usable stuff.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There was some of the usable footage I felt I should cut as well, some things I felt didn\u2019t work in the video. I am proud how it came out, there were some good jokes in there, and the way I arranged the clips was satisfying to me. The experience was good, for splicing clips and rearranging them, and thinking about the order they should go in. It\u2019ll help with future videos when I think about how all the footage I collect should be arranged for certain narratives.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For people starting into DAC, creative practice is whatever you need it to be. If it\u2019s sitting in a quiet room with a pen and paper, then do it. If it\u2019s pacing the house talking to yourself, do it. If it\u2019s shredding guitar at max volume\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">un<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">til your ears start ringing, do it.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0The creative process is yours to control, and no one can tell you what you should do. DAC can help develop your creative process. I\u2019ve discovered mine through it. I always had trouble getting started on things, especially the YouTube channel I am now working on, before I was in DAC. The class forcing me to make something for it helped push me to discover what I needed to start my creative process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of a series of profiles featuring the DAC Capstone cohort of Spring 2020.
