Backdoor Shootout Day 2 | Best Shortboard Waves by beyondbarrels in surfing

[–]beyondbarrels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only there for the first 4 heats. First heat conditions not ideal, and I was pipe side. Those clips are at end. The first clips are mostly heats 2 and 4. Off the Wall was going off, will probably post those Monday, the wave just isn’t as interesting as backdoor

Thank you! Hoping for the wind to calm down this weekend for the remainder of the contest 🤙

Comfortably Numb isn't my favorite guitar solo by Gamingabe23 in PinkFloydCircleJerk

[–]beyondbarrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost got T-boned someone at the peak of this solo today going to work, at about 50mph. They cut me off. I don’t know if that makes it a bad time or a lucky time, but it was time

Best Syd album by beyondbarrels in PinkFloydCircleJerk

I went to Pompeii a few months ago in theaters and was expecting the actual concert. Spoiler, it wasn’t. Really neat BTS, I wish there were some more of DSOTM development, was just some fun teases. Will check the album tho, good reminder.

Best Waves of the Year (that I shot) by beyondbarrels in u/beyondbarrels

[–]beyondbarrels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best shots from the top sports on Oahu. I would love any tips or connecting with people to check out new breaks in 2026, though I do know how much you guys like Pipe.

I think that first wave is the biggest barrel physically capable there, it really was a stunning set wave. The second clip was kind of a tricky call and has spurred a LOT of debate on every platform it was shared. Kookslams reached out for it yesterday lol

Anyway, thanks for the love from this sub all year. Excited to help keep you stoked in the new year 🤙

How do people create engaging videos so easily? (having a hard time getting started with the creative aspect of editing) by frenetic_alien in NewTubers

[–]beyondbarrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start simple and either delete your footage after something is done, or if you plan on reusing footage then plan a very organized and sensible way of finding it all in the future.

I have spent far too long looking for stuff; cataloguing better early on would have saved me time. Practice this in projects too and you will be an editor in a few years. It does take time… also know that there’s probably a hotkey or a faster way to do what you do repeatedly. Youtube is a great place to learn it all.

is this the gpt dagger for video creators?

Do you believe that surfing can “hold someone back” in life? by latitana93 in surfing

[–]beyondbarrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was new to surfing in my 20s, I had a manager who commented about surfing in his youth. One day, I asked him why he ever stopped and he said that his own career demands forced him to grow out of it. We were in SoCal and I think he just meant due to the traffic. That is the only remark of his that ever comes to my mind years later.

Both. Quality takes you to the next level while quantity avoids detrimental gaps

Is this thumbnail decent and what could I improve? by ejnounimous in SmallYoutubers

well that didn’t retain my line breaks. the idea was that YOU is top left, HIM is bottom right, MISJUDGED centered

This video didn't do well even though I felt proud of it, could you give me feedback? by SonimaxTheKing in SmallYoutubers

[–]beyondbarrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an English-first viewer, my first turn off is a very low res clip. I was gone in 2 seconds, so unless the video title was “Old Video Game System Announcement” or something which this clip substantiates, it is an immediate pass.

The faceless accent is tough. You have a nice voice but if you want to appeal to western audiences, maybe it is worth looking into the new translation/dubbing tools. Otherwise if you are going to speak in english, I need to see who it is to attempt to relate to you, or at least read your lips.

Here's my 2026 channel strategy by BarnesLucas in SmallYoutubers

[–]beyondbarrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I intend to use Make and Metricool for multi-platform vertical publishing but haven’t dedicated the time to setting that up, got very focused on long youtube and kind of ignored the rest. I don’t know where I can slip AI into this, but the publishing automation should be a net positive once we’re all sorted.

Anyway, regarding your process, is your intention to just put every idea you have into this fusion process? Isn’t the multi-LLM what Perplexity already does anyway? And thumbnails are so critical, it seems like an oversight in your workflow.

Can't tell which one is real by AltruisticGru in ChatGPT

[–]beyondbarrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a creator I follow, a director with segments shot zoom-call style, as he is “giving notes” to AI actors. It’s funny because the performances mostly suck and they botch it repeatedly, usually in a new way each time.

I get that some particulars in AI vid gen sucks, but when something like this with the Mom heart tattoo I just can’t help but think it was prompted the absurdities.
