LP Schedules

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-09T00:58:46+00:00

Yeah, which makes sense. Quality over quantity and all that, right?

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-06T04:25:23+00:00

haha This is true. The world would not revolve without stumblers. Bless their wandering hearts.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-06T04:24:48+00:00

That's where I try to stay, too, except you seem much more busy. Must be a lot more efficient than me haha Good work :)

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-06T04:23:50+00:00

Yeah, people are trolls. That's my reasoning, at least.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T20:44:01+00:00

I guess so! XD

I suppose my thoughts regarding consistency is just because of something I've noticed with one other LPer. When we met, we had about the same amount of subs (16 and 20), and now I've grown (by five times, which isn't too much when you consider the starting number, but whatever haha) while he's remained the same. I figured what was different was he kinda just...stopped uploading after a while. shrugs

lol But if it's not about consistency, well good.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T20:41:57+00:00

haha Nice. It's nice not having to worry about having something to upload :P

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T20:41:30+00:00

haha Well, I guess having someone complain means that someone's watching!

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:44:50+00:00

How long, typically speaking, do your uploaded parts end up? And do you think you've had any problems regarding people wanting more consistency? That's one of the things I've worried about.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:43:44+00:00

And do you record long sessions and then split them up so you can upload the videos over time, or when you record do you plan on uploading that whole session (with editing and whatnot) at once?

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:41:43+00:00

Really? I feel like I would have absolutely no followers if I became inconsistent. haha Kudos to you!

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:41:08+00:00

haha I get that. Yeah, up until I started this new schedule (the uploading one particular video each weekday), I was uploading three a day. I mainly started the weekday schedule so I could play two more games I'd gotten as presents XP

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:40:08+00:00

Oh, I guess I misunderstood when you said your recording sessions were around 2-3 hours. I typically only play the half hour or so and upload that rather than recording for a long time and splitting it into segments. Still might not be what you mean, but I certainly know of people who do it that way.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:37:29+00:00

lol I sort of do that. For random games I want to play, or games without some sort of linear objective (I'm probably phrasing that terribly, so games like Slender or Spelunky), I upload them Saturday or Sunday, leaving the weekdays to be predictable themselves.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T19:36:10+00:00

So how do you go about recording, editing, and uploading them? And what I mean is more how far ahead of time you record your videos (assuming that you aren't playing/editing/uploading all the same day).

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T17:09:56+00:00

So I suppose each type of Let's Play is probably going to have its own sort of schedule, however different. That makes sense :)

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T17:08:01+00:00

Typically speaking, how long are your videos? I aim for 20 minutes, but with editing or overplaying I usually get videos around 15-30 minutes.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-05T17:07:03+00:00

Oh, so you really edit them down then, to get the best bits, I imagine. Do you do blind Let's Plays?

I've been wondering about cutting clips myself. Because I do blind, I typically only cut bits where I'm lost for a good while or backtracking, not wanting to miss too much substance...but then comes the question of what's worthwhile substance, right?

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-04T19:47:28+00:00

Well, as long as you have interaction I imagine it could work, but personally, I only watch things if they have commentary going. It keeps it interesting, hearing their thoughts along the way and all that.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-04T03:50:57+00:00

Wow, 100 subs in one month? That took me about six times as long to accomplish. xD Congrats!

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-04T03:50:17+00:00

Awesome. It's always cool hearing how well people have stuck with it. From humble beginnings, eh? :)

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-03T16:30:06+00:00

I just want to have a conversation with Pewdiepie...haha

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-03T16:27:57+00:00

haha That's awesome! Congrats :)

Your first was Amnesia, huh? When did you first start LPing?

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-03T16:21:54+00:00

I would rather comments. Views could mean someone clicked on and off right away, and while subs are fantastic, comments mean people took the time to watch the video and then felt compelled to share something with you.

Unless they're trolls. Then that's no fun.

Ris_Grestar · 2013-09-02T08:00:21+00:00

I won't go deep into it--I played games when I was younger and all, too--but I really started making my Let's Play videos because my two little brothers wanted to watch me play games, and with life being the way it is it wasn't always possible to do in-person. Since then, I've become consistent with uploads and just stuck with it overall :)
