About:
This is my experience of getting views on CZcams, whilst trying to focus on learning CAD, 3D Printing and film making.
--- - Věda a technologie
There's so many people on CZcams making maker-style content who have really high production value - Scott Yu-Jan just uploaded a video earlier today I really enjoyed. But I don't think I've seen anyone be so open about the learning side of the process and showing themselves developing the skills to make something like this, while also having nice production value and really put together videos. It's neat! Looking forward to whatever you do next
Thank You!!! This comment is exactly what I am aiming for in these videos. Trying to honestly share my journey of being a beginner, with enough story and production value to make them interesting enough to watch.
Cheers mate.
Oh and Scott Yu-Jan is a big inspiration. I have a SYJ inspired project coming soon!
PCBWay is already wanting to sponsor you at 500 subs? holy crap their youtube department is in the know
They're all over Maker CZcams! Another maker did show them my video so they obviously have creators who like them enough to share the love.
Perfectly captured how I felt when picking up all these skills. Editing feels like it came from a channel hundreds of times bigger, very cool.
Thanks a lot! I'm still learning so the editing takes a long time. I'm glad you like it.
Wow, you clearly put in a TON of time into the script, making, filming, and editing. Super surprised you haven't been doing this for 5+ years already! Keep it up, I'm subscribing!
Thanks for that! It's definitely the hardest I've worked on videos - two in a month!
I'd be lying if I said these were the first videos I've shot and edited. I've dabbled a bit in the past. I've probably made 10-15 little videos of some sort in the past 10-15 Years.
I think the slight warp on some of the planks actually makes it look more realistic. I can't believe this is only your second video, the production and editing feels much more higher quality than I'd have expected. Definitely subscribed! Can't wait to see what else you bring us, just make sure you don't feel too rushed.
Thanks man. I put a lot of work into the story and edit so I'm glad they come across as a little bit above average for a new starter.
HES BACK! Honestly im impressed with how fast you picked up CAD and I love your honesty!
Love the rotating shot at 9:05 btw
Apparently your janking things together is my normal way of doing things haha. Also that bench turned out oddly realistic for a 3d print!
Thanks man! I wanted to do a lot more fun editing in that montage but started to run out of time... And energy.
I still barely know any CAD but I will say after trying and getting frustrated with Fusion 360 something about onshape just clicked with me.
@@AttemptedMaker keep going, I like seeing the progress!
As someone also trying to learn how to 3D model and beginner 3D printing, it is definitely worth it to just keep working toward that goal. I personally find myself gaining too many interests and hyper focusing on each one, one at a time. Your openness and honesty about your own faults and struggles along the process is very refreshing and it's honestly very wholesome. Keep making great stuff, just be yourself, and we'll keep watching :)
Yeah for sure man. It's hard to focus on one thing for long enough to improve without getting distracted by a new thing. I'm glad my style is connecting with people! Thanks
You are hilarious without even trying and I'm here for it. Can't wait for next video, whatever it is 😄
Thanks! haha Trust me... I'm trying
With only 2 videos and already 552 subscribers I think you're doing pretty good! Great job, from a new subscriber 🤩
I know right!? No one is more surprised than me. Thank You!
For a second video this is amazing. You're not an attempted maker, you are a maker.
I mean I'm hardly a maker compared to your skills, but thanks!
Great Video! It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't try to accomplish a project using only the printer and ignoring all the other tools/techniques we have. Multi colour prints are neat and all, but a little paint can do so much more...
If you want to go down another hobby rabbit hole. Investing in an airbrush can really up your painting game ;)
I stumbled on your first video and it felt really relatable to me. I never considered myself to be a maker, but I've been really interested in 3d printing lately and have one coming in the mail soon. It's pretty cool seeing your perspectives on things as a beginner when most channels I've found have been from people who have been making things for years. Congrats on the growth and the sponsorship!
Thanks mate! I made these for people like you and me. So much of what is out there is amazing work done by massively talented people. It's really inspiring but can feel so out of reach.
Your second video is another great one so no pressure on your third!
Thanks man. That means a lot coming from someone whose
videos are so well made, especially your latest one (130K Views!!!). It's a great example of what you can do when you put the time into it. I'm excited to see what you cook up next - whenever that turns out to be.
Great to see a fellow Kiwi on CZcams, and using a 3D Printer! Good on you for being so honest about starting this journey. Loved the video, and have subscribed.
Thanks Hamish! Making this channel has helped me actually meet kiwi makers which is cool. Now I have the obligatory 3D printer upgrades video out the way I can start making more fun stuff!
I love making stuff and love to share what I’ve made and what I’ve learned along the way. I’ve wanted to share on CZcams but I make stuff…not videos. lol. Great job getting started on your journey. I’m excited to see what you do next.
I get you. I love making the stuff. I've always wanted toake videos but even I find that part more difficult that the making part.
Just a thought, that Ive considered in the past. Have you thought about finding a friend or someone local that likes making videos but can't find a subject worth sharing and teaming up?
Great video, love the concept. Nobody wants to look at a CZcamsr who knows what he's doing. Keep going mate!
Thanks! I love watching CZcamsrs who know what they're doing. But I love that people enjoy watching some guy stumble around in the dark. 😆
This channel is going to do very well! subed!
I sure hope so. Thanks
2nd video and you already hit recommend, wow
It's wild. I have no idea what's going on.
I loved everything about the video and the bench turned out so awesome! Great job!!!
Thanks! I'm kinda proud of it 😅
I’ve just started with 3d printing and cad too and I was completely immersed in your story. You truly are a big inspiration for me now! Keep it going! I somewhat feel like we are in this together (kinda, somehow) 😁 and it’s truly an awesome feeling. Thank you ;)
Thank man. That means a lot. I just published a video that was about my printer and not about my journey as as was making it I realised that I would much rather be telling the stories of my makes and journey. So hopefully you'll like what is on the way!
Waiting to see more 👍
Thanks!
What is helping me to finish(?) things is not to seek for the perfection. Good enough it my goal - that helps me to make anything and not only think about making it or just giving up at start. Even if results are mediocre at best - I've usually learned a lot in a process and next "projects" benefits of that.
Yeah for sure. This video is a good example. There is SOOO much I wanted to fix and improved. But if I kept at that it wouldn't be out for another month... and maybe never get uploaded at all 😅
Beautiful work man. I can speak as a CZcams producer from a previous career, and currently a maker, all that shit aint easy and it does take foooreeever. You're putting in some amazing work right of the jump dude. Would love to connect and chat. Subscribed.
I'm feeling you on the learning how to CZcams! If you have maker/3D Printing questions, reach out! Keep up the great work! Your videos are fun!
Love it. Really impressed how well that texture came out on the wood. And the #jankbench also looks great too. Keep making videos, you're really good at it.
Thanks Jack. I'm happy with it. No idea what I would do if I had to make it look like nice new wood tho.
I love the direction and your willingness to admit that you are not an expert! Too many 3d printing channels that make it look way too easy and very far from reality.
Thanks Ross! That's what I'm going for. I don't know jack!
Great video,
Just getting started learning about 3D Printing and now seeing what I have to learn Oh Boy!
Thanks for making this video. Looking forward to future videos.
There's a lot but it really is fun. Thanks Mate
I enjoyed this video and will be subscribing, and I learned some new resources for modeling and achieving textures on prints I didnt know avout before. Keep up the good work and I'll continue watching!
Thanks Jake! I had initially planned to try and explain how to use it, but then I realized I have no idea what I'm doing 😅 - I'll leave that side of things to the pros.
4:17 So true. Glad someone said it.
That's right - I'm out making edgy comments like "stuff is hard".
I'm feeling your channels vibes. The Hobby Hopper type thing was something I thought about doing too. Cool that you guys can do it together. I think I might be your 500th subscriber - what an honor!
Amazing editing, great sound design, pacing, and atmosphere once again! I'm going to take some notes. Everyone makes videos differently, and the natural way you achieve yours is really, really good. I had issues with scripting too at the start, I still script a ton, but before, it was word for word, shot for shot. It was robotic. (My old G10 video is a good example,) Unlike yours which feels human. Much more human. We're also getting a story, with a project. That's more than a win. Glad you got PCBWay on board! Everything changed for me once they reached out and I'm sure the same will be for you too. (As you mentioned, NZ Camera gear is expensive haha.) The bench turned out great! Appreciate your support too! All the best Scott. Cheers, Tommy.
Thanks Tommy, I still have a lot to learn. It takes a lot of work to appear natural 😅. I've done a bit of writing and performing in the past so I'm not exactly starting from scratch. Still doing it in front of a camera whilst trying to remember to check you haven't accidentally changed the shutter speed is a whole other thing!
Whenever I find a CZcams channel I like with awesome videos, I always go back and watch their first videos to see how they started. You can really see how much you've improved in your videos, your Ender 3000 vid is so good.
Yeah I can relate to that. Getting the settings on point takes some time, but after a while it’ll be ingrained. If you a bit of photography as well it can help, that’s how I did it at the beginning. The pro’s make the talking to the camera part look so easy, but they’ve got wells of experience.
I do the same as well with other channels, comparing the Boya Review to the Ender 3000 video would be fun, huge contrast. I love the Ender video, it’s one of my favourites. Your first video is already extremely good as you know, so I can only imagine where you’ll be in 6-12 months time. I’ll be there to see it. Cheers, Tommy
Subcribed, and I'm ready for the ride. Keep up the good work. Raw and honest content is hard to find around here nowadays.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my style.
I think this is an awesome video! What you made is super realistic and looks awesome! The video itself is also insane! You did some good research of how it all works ;)
Looking forward to your next video! I've liked and subscribed ;)
Thanks man! You've got some good video production yourself. And some real maker skills!
I love your story telling. I hope you make more.
Thanks Anders, I appreciate that comment. I'm actually just secretly using making things as an excuse to tell stories. Please don't tell anyone.
@@AttemptedMaker The good ol' Bait and Switch :D
Investing early in this one, subscribed!
One of the first (and possibly only) 600! 😀
Thanks
@@AttemptedMaker gonna come back to this comment when you've hit 100k
im in the same shoes of learning videos and it’s so timeconsuming and hard to get „perfect“ shots that I usually skip it when making stuff. Thanks lad, I’ll take your approach and just film it anyways, even when it’s not that good
Yeah mate - There are a lot of bad shots in this video! Videography is probably my biggest weakness in all of this. Just have to trust that if I keep trying to learn from all the bad shots, they'll get better.
Sponsored content on your 2nd ever video? Congratz dude you've made big time already haha. As the journey goes, don't stress too much about it, the only way to go is up, so don't forget to rest every once in a while and enjoy your steps along the way. As the miniatures goes, man that's a nice bench well done! Can't wait for what you'll come up with in the future :D
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, and for looking out for me. There is a bunch of pressure that comes with people paying attention - but without external pressure, I'd honestly never get anything done! 😂 I am trying to make sure I take time to chill tho.
Another amazing video brother! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Thanks again!
this is amasing love the video and to se your progres and all the fails.
Thanks Silas! I have plenty more fails to come!
Wow! This is wild. I can't believe PCB Way sponsored your video! Congrats!
I hope you keep making videos, but don't feel like you owe us anything (sponsors are a different story). There is infinite appetite for authentic content on the internet, so do things that interest you and CZcams will take care of the rest.
I'm curious, now that you've made this video, will you do anything differently on the next project? How do you decide when to collect B-roll, video check-ins, etc? Do you write the script at the end? Or discover it as you go? Asking for a friend... lol
Thanks man! I appreciate you kind words. I think I owe it at least to myself to keep making videos for a while and see how it goes.
I'm still figuring it out. The advice I've been given is "film everything". So I'm working on making that easier to do... But then you end up with an overwhelming amount of footage to edit!
first of all, good pacing and editing in general! maybe that's just me, but i didn't think the song you put under the montage video was very fitting, but i think i heard that song in a fps drone video or snowboard tricks compilation, so maybe that's why.
On the last shot of you talking to the camera your exposure time seems to be off and it resulted in a lot of motion blur. rule of thumb is an exposure time of 1/(2x your framerate), so if you film in 25fps, your exposure time would be 1/50 for a more natural motion blur. other than that, i think you're on the right path!
all the best on your future endeavours mate
Thanks for the constructive feedback mate. That conclusion shot was killing me! I had accidentally changed the shutter speed. I set myself upload deadlines to avoid falling into the trap if not finishing videos and I just didn't have the time to reshoot it (along with a lot of other stuff 😅). Music choice is pretty overwhelming, I'm still feeling it out. Might take a few videos before I really get a feel for it.
I guess you're a youtuber now! We, the audience, now expect bi weekly videos 😋 Panic cam was great. I hope you stick at this.
Oh no! Am I? I reckon I probably need at least a couple more videos filled with please like and subscribes before I can truly call myself a CZcamsr. As much as I'd love to feed the algorithm weekly, I'm aiming for an upload every 3 weeks... but we'll have to wait and see if I can keep to that.
Looking amazing! Deform that was made by sun, and your correction on it, kinda gived more life on wooden planks🎉 happy that on second video you got sponsor section 😮omg, that was implemented it scenario in this vid, how cool it was, in shockd🎉🎉🎉 great vid you made
Thanks so much. Yeah the bent legs turned out better than expected and made for a good story!
Hey this is cool i am starting to model on printables you are soo cool and i like your models on printables thank you for being here ❤
Thanks for checking out my Printables account! I'm definitely a beginner but I'm trying to share what I have. There's a lot of good stuff on there! (and other model sites)
Nice work, keep it up 😉
Thanks Mate! 😁
I can definitely relate to taking a break…I’m currently taking one from creating a plan for my plan…great video!!
I've been there... Many times. Thanks man
Very happy for you! Keep going!!!
😄 Thanks!
Damn! This doesn't look like the second video of a new channel! Great content, great editing, overall 10/10. Looking forward to more videos 💪
Quick heads up regarding your steel filament: Your nozzle is made out of brass and this is softer than steel. After just a little part of that spool, your nozzle will be fucked due to abrasion! If you plan on printing more steel filament (or glow in the dark or carbon fiber), get yourself a hardened nozzle :)
Thanks Felix! I recognize that blue hair from a comment on my first video.
Yeah I had a bit of the video I ended up cutting out where I talked about using a hardened nozzle, all metal heat break and upgraded bowden tubing. Basically it was printing well and I didn't want to mess it up. I already had the parts to upgrade so in the end I just printed it on the old parts, then spent way too long doing some upgrades.
Hey mate great to see another Auckland Creator! Awesome video by the way!
Hey Simon! There are literally dozens of us! ... I assume, I've not actually met any other Auckland creators before now. Checked out your channel - nice work mate, you're getting a lot out there - I could not keep up that pace. Do you focus just on Home Assistant or all Home Automation products? I'm constantly dealing with issues with my Nest Speakers, Cameras and Deco Mesh network! 😖
I mainly play with Home Assistant connected devices. Thank you for the kind comments about my channel. I am focusing on quantity at the moment.Your quality is amazing! It would be great to organise an Auckland meet up of creators! @@AttemptedMaker
Subscribed. Specifically for being genuine and honest. Please continue to include the difficulty along the way. I love to see how people learn to learn. I love to see people having trouble along the way. ...Because that's what happens.
Thanks
Thank You. That's the plan! Though I see why people don't include their troubles in videos, it's surprisingly hard to capture them and show them on camera.
Great video ! the editing is really cool !! Did you have to learn how to edit for your channel too or is it something you already knew ?
Keep posting, I'm waiting for the next one !
Thanks! I have kind of been learning to make videos and edit off and on for a while. But I would only ever make like one video - take a break for a year or so - then make another one... and have to re-learn everything again! Mostly it was holiday videos or just a fun idea I had.
You really shouldn’t be stressing this much. This is amazing content.
Thanks for the encouragement 😀
At around 11 minutes, the talking to camera bit's framerate took a dive. Every other shot has looked great. Nice macros. Keep it up.
Trust Me... I know 😅 - I accidentally changed the shutter speed just for that shot. I really wanted to re-shoot that. But was running out of time (and energy). I won't make that mistake again ... hopefully
I watch a lot of youtube maker videos with the goal of filming my own future project. CZcams recommended me your video and I felt you were on the journey I was destined to take and with only 30 subscribers, I felt you were someone I could join on the journey.
I feel you and I are not alone - there are many in our shoes, and we all want to know how we will go.
Don't stress about content, just do you and we will be here when you get around to it.
Yeah man, you and I are on the same journey for sure. Thanks for joining me - make sure you let us know when you upload something, so I can follow your journey.
That’s awesome! Just subscribed keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
Well... I used Fusion 360 for 2/3 years, and I was never able to do that shape xD, so... you get that, man 👍🏻
Haha thanks - I just make my projects One CZcams tutorial at a time, like everyone else. (oooh that's a good line, might have to put that in a video😂)
bro got a sponsor on the second video, your gonna be a big youtube i know it!
Thanks Man! It's pretty insane eh.
Let me know when you print that Fillet Gauge - it's no Handsome Squidward but once you have it you'll measure the corners of everything in your house 😆
That thing turned out great
Thanks!
That's a very cool thing! Cool things are awesome. I especially like how the wood texture and color came out. I've not tackled wood filament yet, but I think I'll give it a try!
Go for it! The wood full was pretty easy to work with, more so than the metal. And trust me no-one is more surprised about how well it turn out than me!
You‘re awesome, keep up the great work 👍
I like that your Lego avatar is screaming your comment 😂 Thanks
Great content! I remember having to learn all of this!!!!
Thanks! I really am just learning so I'm keen to hear any tips and tricks people have.
@@AttemptedMaker only suggestion would be to get any of the Bambu’s or the K1 Max and it will make your life so much easier! I do commissions and have been able to quadruple the amount of prints I do now it’s amazing. So making prototypes and revisions for your idea it would make the whole process faster and let you make more video! Got the bell on man keep it up you got this sh*t!!!
So true. Now if only I can someone get Bambu or Creality to send me one for free... that's how being a CZcamsr works right? 😂
You have done it again great video bench and table looks real I've sat on similar bench seats. Steve
Thanks Steve! Hey wanna know a secret? That seat I sat at in the video intro wasn't the actual seat I copied. The real one was about 15 meters away and there were people nearby so I was too nervous to film there. 😅
I actually love this
Thanks Fluff! (can I call you Fluff?)
@@AttemptedMaker most people refer to me as klophe but sure i dont mind man!
SO. UNDERRATED. AGGGHHHHHHHH
Me? I dunno, I feel pretty rated right now.
i do feel year old brakes from stuff
real nice vid, home-y vibe ^^
Thanks mate. Yeah, they never start off as year long breaks eh, but somehow end up that way. Stupid time and it's constant passing.
Jank has entered the chat.
Great video!
#EmbraceTheJank We'll make it happen.
Nice job you deserve the success
Thanks Kevin!
Great job, though I'm a bit disappointed you didn't take it out to the park to get some shots with the real thing.
I had thoughts about trying to do a bit of a Zack King style swap out with the real park bench. But that's a lot of work! Might give it a go for a short or something when I have a bit more filming and editing skill.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. So this is how you started this YT channel?
Pretty Much - I mean there was a lot more sitting around at my computer staring into space, but yeah. Thanks!
good video 👍
Thanks SB!
Maybe you can use electoplating for the legs. Otherwise verry good video
That would be wild. Actually I have some Aluminium legs now - wondering how I should weather them 🤔
-1 for not going all the way. Where's the park, where's the concrete pad it sat on? JK. You went pretty far with it. Respect. Looks great.
Haha you're pretty on to it. I actually took photos and wanted to include the concrete pad, and grass, and a backdrop of some sort... Then I remembered I have no idea how to do any of it.
@@AttemptedMaker You really did good, I just poke fun at the amount of dedication you have. Can't wait until your skills improve and can do what you are really thinking, with all of it including editing.
Cool
Cheers!
Hey what's the heat gun you use?
Dremel Versatip. It's a gas soldering iron / heat gun. It's the same thing I was using to poke at the table legs to attempt giving them texture.
Fuck I love finding antipodeans on here. Kiwis are a good laugh cuz.
Cheers bro
I was here at 500 subs
I was here at Zero - Beat That! 😄 Thanks Mate.
Under 1000 subs?? Im in
Yesss! Thanks
“Youchube”
It might be going against the grain but if you really want to do this and enjoy it. Please make videos that you enjoy and not videos that produce numbers. And I know its hard but try not obsessing over the numbers. If you think you made a good video people will like it. Try building a community instead of a company
Thanks for you're thoughts. I feel you for sure. I do have a bunch of ideas of videos I actually want to make. I'm still gonna make the videos I planned to make when I expected no one would pay any attention.
The trick for me is actually making them! I know this video really plays up the pressure of making a new video, but the truth is - for some weird reason - I need pressure and deadlines to force me to actually do (and finish) the things I love.
But damn - those numbers tho
@@AttemptedMaker i am really happy your video is doing this great. And my man, im walking in the same shoes as you are. Obviously i dont know you but i think it has to be adhd or smth similar. Without deadlines or preassure i just procracinate forever whilst thinking im a frickin dissapointment for not making anything. Personally having friends motivate you, "ordering" you to do your projects works somewhat
Yeah dude I know that feeling. And yep - ADHD. Just diagnosed last year and Medication helps!
