I can tell you that this is still resonating with somebody like me. Great video with good information. It’s also highly motivating seeing your channel now and then 🙂

@Toivo1066 3 года назад

To me your channel is the perfect trifecta of information density, accessibility and quality of presentation. Bravo! I love this channel. I find that a lot of content providers try to make 20+ minute videos even if they don't have much to say, so they fill time with goofy, non-sense like unboxings with a verbal stream of consciousness for narration. I can't stand it, and I have dropped a few channels from subscription because of it. Your scripts are well thought out, written and very digestible. BTW I keep looking for your Patreon link so I can support your content...

@Zumikito 3 года назад

You are way too kind! Thank you for putting that comment together, not many people actually realize how much work it takes to put together video that is fast paced, condensed, yet informative :) I don't have a Patreon yet, since I feel like I don't have enough time yet to put there extra content, but I might start it next year! Once again thank you

@Toivo1066 3 года назад

@@Zumikito For my money, I don't need extra content. I'd pay just for what I get from your RU-vid channel with the hopes that your channel continues to thrive and grow. A lot of content creators promise lots of stuff for Patreons, and I don't like that system. I have access to about 9 discord channels, but I rarely even check them. I don't have time to hang out there and be an active member of any of those communities, so I always feel like an outside anyhow.

Hello. I'm a lurker, plain and simple, and this is my very first comment on youtube. Ever. The only reason why I decided to broke the silence is to thank you for this video and your content. Not only it brought a fresh view on painting those freaking eyes (the struggle...) but it gave me some renewed motivation to get back to my grey-pile-of-shame/backlog. Keep up the good work !

@Zumikito 3 года назад

I really appreciate that you say that, thank you, especially since you are not commenting! Yea, whatever it is, you can always improve, be it making videos or painting minis, just look at my first vid haha. Cheers!

@@Zumikito I will surely start a project soon and I'll document it. I'm far from being blessed by the god of painting (I suspect it's slaanesh) but maybe some people would take something from it, see how average Joe deals with the hobby. I tend to see big channels and hour long tutorials intimidating at times, the pressure of the inevitable comparaison.

Just to point out I've personally learnt so much even this far...... thank you so much... my only advice would be (not just to you but everyone) would be trim the fat edit those suckers, make them videos short and funny and maybe a bit silly, but you are already way ahead of the game my man! Next i want an over view of your work station and paints and general working area :)

@merahkuningminis 7 месяцев назад

Hi Zumikito - may I ask your solution for footage storage? Do you keep your raw footage after a video has released, or delete them entirely? That's one of my biggest roadblocks of starting a YT channel right now - file storage.

@gomezzara_creative 4 года назад

Marvelous video friend, thank you so much for share your experience . I was thinking to Create content... But i wonder do you have a way or workflow to Create the video between all the things you have to do? I wondering how you do it!

@Zumikito 4 года назад

Thank you! I will now mostly stick to this method: Pick idea from the list and create document for notes (what I have to mention, which angles, which minis etc.). Then when it is time, I make a script for which rhe notes help me. Then I shoot and edit parts with my face talking and after that I do the same with shots of me painting. Not every video has been done like that, but this imho gives me best quality and saves me the most time

@Deskofobie 4 года назад

Great video... There´s only one advice which I´m disagree: creating videos in English for wider audience. For sure there is more people speaking English to people speaking Czech, but there is also more competition. Fighting for viewers can be quite difficult, instead of "local" market, where maybe isn´t that many content creators and you can shine way easier. It can work both way from my point of view, you need to take a look around and consider your situation in your country and social circles. I wouldn't recommend to go with English straight away. Petr

@Zumikito 4 года назад

I respect your opinion, but I still think that it is easier to build and monetize content when there is already at least some market - I feel like it is better to get a small share of large market (while still quite niche) rather than get whole market that is quite small. Also, the competition is a good thing, since you can collab and viewers do not have to consume content of one creator exclusively. Sure, it can work both ways, but I take 5% of 1 000 000 potential subscribers (made up number) over 50% of 50 000 potential subs any day (if there is even that many people interested in miniatures in Czech Republic). In the long run this has to be the case.

@Deskofobie 4 года назад

@@Zumikito I think it´s also connected to your business model, if you want to take majority of money from YT itself, then yes. If you would like to collect money directly from your viewers through Patreon, Kickstarter or whatsoever... then I´m not sure. But I´m admire you for aiming high.

@@Zumikito I've seen creators who double up since they're doing voiceover - so you can make an english version and a czech version.

@Zumikito 4 года назад

I am glad that you find it helpful! Just as I mentioned: there is for example warhammer and minipainting subreddit, multiple discussion forums with dedicated space for modelling, facebook group etc. I would even say that starting instagram and facebook page for purpose of gathering audience is recommended. Also, if you ask for feedback when sharing, you will find some great insights. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else.

If any channel ever mentions how few of their viewers are actually subscribed, they've basically guaranteed that I'll never be among their subscribers. I think this is the dumbest thing RU-vid tells you to do. It feels like you're blaming your viewers for your lack of subscribers and it comes across as a guilt trip. I subscribe if I want to, not because a creator makes me feel guilty. Making a viewer feel bad while trying to get them to do something for you is just dumb. This is a pet peeve of mine. Terrible, terrible.
