#12After letting 18 months pass between a near-final edit of a 2 minute video and actually posting it, I got fed up of my own procrastination/perfectionism/pissing-about and started posting one new video a day to YT Shorts on 11 August 2023 to get back into moviemaking.
It’s been transformational for me, having this work-in-public video sketchbook. Slowly moved from just uploading iPhone videos shot from the hip to mostly using DLog footage shot on a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 colour corrected/graded with sound design in Final Cut Pro, and I’m looking to add a Sony FX-30 to the mix this summer.
As a whole I call it my “Dailies” project - the term of a course an old Hollywood practice of developing each shooting day’s footage so the studios could make sure the director is doing a good job.
It’s also pushed me into a daily writing practice and hoping to do more sophisticated work this year, so would love to have some more eyeballs for this and all that. :)

#15I was a software engineer for a while, but it wasn’t making me happy. So I quit and now I drive around the world in my own vehicles having adventures. My most popular video is the heavily armed military guys in Nigeria trying to get money out of me (spoiler, I didn’t pay) https://youtube.com/watch?v=7RTlDa2cg0o
How do you support yourself while traveling around the world making videos?

As first I would work and save, then just live on those savings (It's MUCH cheaper than you think - around $1200 per month to drive to Argentina for 2 years, all in).
Now I write for magazines, do youtube, have a few published books and anything else I can think of to earn some side income.

#17My most obscure video is about programming VBA in VS Code. Other than that, I focus on Python for Excel (no "Python in Excel"): https://www.youtube.com/@xlwings9689
Nice - you have a lot of subs! How long have you been doing it for?
It's been 10 years. But upload videos very irregularly.

#18Here’s mine: https://youtube.com/@chadobear
I have a repo with some of the stuff I use to produce my videos, too: https://gitlab.com/crgk/chadobear-monorepo/-/tree/main/studi...
It’s very sloppy and hacky and maybe(?) more interesting to this audience than the videos themselves.
