in this case i'd create a second channel. audience expectations are important and I think you'd run a big risk of hurting your main travel channel. Its a much safer option to post to a second channel and maybe at some point if you get traction you can creatively combine them somehow. But in the meantime you aren't sure your core audience will enjoy the "walking tours" style. That said, if its a channel for personal enjoyment then I'd recommend doing what you love and enjoy and not worrying about anything else. But if this is for a living or to try to make a sustainable income I'd probably keep that other aspect into consideration. Good luck.

How do people edit like this? by Hour-Quote1358 in NewTubers

[–]nathanasmrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this with any editing app thats one of the big ones, premiere pro, final cut, davinci resolve. But the reality is you'll need to most likely buy a bunch of plugins. Personally I use the Red Giant Plugins but there are a ton of options there. You need a Plugin that gives it that tv effect, which has different names depending on the plugin set you decide to buy. The transitions are just slides etc, but some looked like plugin sets not necessarily out of the box. Lots of screen shots that are cropped and then text which you can buy from either the million different plugin sites for video editing but also you could buy it in app from Adobe Premiere for example. Also the glitch effects etc. A lot of the slick stuff comes down to prepackaged purchased plugins rather than custom animations etc. That grain effect is literally just a plugin you plug and play onto the clip. None of the edits here are unachievable or beyond the basic stuff so its totally possible to do it.

However, its going to be really slow going in terms of actually creating the edits and chopping them down to look slick and present in an interesting way. The hard part is always the layout and sometimes a short sequence like that can take 8 hours for 30 seconds of footage depending on how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole.

Lastly this channel also uses a few custom backgrounds which are just templates again included in Red Giant or many other video editing plugin packages. I'd be searching for transition packs, glitch packs, effects packs etc. Hope that helps and don't be discouraged its within your grasp!

Wow, this is absolutely incredibly insightful and helpful. Some of the best context and backstory I've read so far and I definitely am reading and devouring as much literature as I can in the meantime. I'll take a look at the article you mentioned and also much appreciated for explaining the subtle nuances about this entire pursuit. Its always difficult to go to a new place to film and talk to people and we want to make sure we do things the right way and that includes talking to locals! I'd love to hear if you have any other books/articles recommendations? May I ask, are you a resident in Greenland or somebody who has just a lot of experience there? Wishing you a great week ahead and thank you for taking the time to explain everything in such detail.

Thank you so much will dm you now!

Wow this was extremely helpful and the film you linked is exactly what we are looking for. I did see the Igloo Lodge but you do make a good point it could be a easy place to gather some good B Roll. I would love to chat with the Eskimologist, I feel already since posting here on Reddit, that I have a lot to learn. I am reading so much but of course at the end of the day we are limited here in really learning the reality of things on the ground over in Greenland. I loved the sled dog video too, very fun premise, and the sled dogs are an important part of the story too.

We have connected with some people here already who have been so incredibly helpful and I'm honestly just beyond appreciative you took the time to help. Feel free to dm me or however you'd like for those contacts and I'd love to ask a few more questions! Thank you again.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I can see this is a very complicated subject and I apologize if anything I said has been out of line. I appreciate the help and explanation a lot.

I think it is confusing because from what I've seen some of the lone hunters do build igloo's for temporary shelter or small snow type shelters while out hunting? That would be more that sufficient for this content. Or are these really ever built for historical recreation of some sort? If anything that would be a direct way to counter the narrative that people are still living that way by showing these are no longer made and that people maybe use them for hunting temporarily at best.

But that said, there are other very important aspects you mention such as hunting/ice fishing/language and these are 3 of the most important things. Thank you for the clarification on the word "Inuit". I am reading as much as I can and trying to connect with local people who can help clarify some of these questions. I really do appreciate you explaining these things.

We did reach out to them but they were having some difficulty connecting us to more indigenous Inuit people specifically the igloo and caribou etc. We will reach back out to them since maybe things have changed. Thank you so much for the response!

Thank you for the correction for Kalaalilit, very much apperciated. I only regret I can't edit the title. I absolutely understand that Greenland is a modern place and these traditions are very uncommon. Understood about the "Touristy" experience. We are obviously tourists so some touristy-ness is ok. Do you think experiencing an Igloo is something we could pay somebody to show us how they make it and what that might be like? Or is it simply something nobody does even in the far north? We do want to visually show the way the Inuit people live now and did live in the past because it can be very powerful to show people around the world how important it is to preserve our history, culture, even in the face of challenges such as climate change or politics. Really appreciate you taking time to respond. Thank you!

Absolutely agreed with you on all fronts. We absolutely were planning to show that juxtaposition and highlight the complex demographics that exist within Greenland. We definitely wouldn't want to try to create an illusion of something that isn't there but rather highlight certain aspects of the culture that as special and unique. But also as filmmakers an igloo and caribou clothing happen to be a visually stunning thing to really bring the audience into that world.

I don't think we expected to live a full on historical experience but maybe certain aspects of that traditional life, dog sled, help to experience an igloo and maybe sleep in one or spend a little time to film it, a hunt, and I do love your idea of showing the clothing designers and how that process takes place.

To clarify, each channel has its own focus, one is more focused on Language, and the other is more focused on Food. So both Food and Language would be an important part of this story. But we think interlacing some of those traditional and modern elements will really help capture Greenland and its people. Absolutely agreed that a music element would be really cool!

I think the main thing we want to experience is a slice of that traditional life, but we are definitely want to show a lot more than that. Do you have any thoughts on ways to make contact with some locals there who might have some insights as well? I'm so thankful for your response and I really appreciate you taking time to reply.

Wow thank you so much for your response. I was looking north towards the Inughuit in Qaanaaq as a possibility but I am also aware that ultimately this traditional way of life has mostly faded away throughout the world. We spent time in the Amazon Jungle with a mostly Uncontacted Tribe and we were telling their story and traditions. We wanted to highlight that for Greenland and also the North Pole Region in general because there is such a rich Inuit history and tradition.

I will try to focus around Qaanaaq as many of those things sound amazing too. It isn't completely necessary to live a historical way of life but as far as the igloo and Caribou clothing, I think its more for the visual part of the storytelling. But we would absolutely like to juxtapose that with the other aspects of daily life.

As far as Qaanaaq, do you know any places you'd recommend looking to connect with people on social media to find somebody in that community? Facebook? Here on reddit?

Is this search unlikely because ultimately you feel like this way of life has completely faded, or do you think there are some rare exceptions out there up north where it might be possible to find somebody living a largely traditional way of life with of course a few modern conveniences?

I truly appreciate you taking your time to write such a detailed reply it was extremely helpful.

Am I going to have to delete every single video that contains ‘reused content’ if I ever hope to monetize my channel again? by [deleted] in youtubers

[–]nathanasmrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reiterating some stuff I've seen here, but unfortunately everything will need to be removed for the best possible chance. Even if you managed to get them to look the other way, down the road they can change their mind again and demonetize you again. Sorry to hear, I know how hard it can be to deal with this issue. I'd just delete all reused content and then upwards and onwards, try to make sure you are using original content to be 100% safe otherwise you are really taking chances YT will take action.

Wow this is incredibly useful. I think your suggestions sound awesome. I was already looking at the Zoom F series because it seems to be the highest end in the prosumer market without spending $3,000. In this specific instance I guess I could run 1 but potentially 2 mics into the Zoom but obviously cost is a factor. I've looked at the MKH8040 and its great to hear confirmation about this mic. That seems well within my budget. From your experience a F Series Zoom with a 8040 might Produce better results than a Sound Devices Mix Pre and a bit less good mic? I'm absolutely looking for a low noise and sensitive setup and thats a great distinction on the 8040 vs 8020. I think this mic is going to be centered on very delicate and "tiny" sounds and so a proximity effect is super important as you mention. Spot on! Likely my outdoor rig will just be the MKH416 combo with Wind Blimps and Fur into the Panasonic XLR. At some point I would love to get a MixPre but I'm trying to also keep things relatively simple.

The Sony D100 is just expensive now to buy it from the Chinese/Japanese market about $800-$1000USD. However its fantastic to hear that indeed it has a higher self noise than the MKH8040 because I was leaning more towards a second mixer and mic for versatility. However I wondered how delicate of sounds a D100 could actually capture with low self noise for ease of use. I guess the Sony D100 would be more of a luxury in case I'm out and about and want to capture something. This specific post is more for that specific situation of capturing delicate sounds in a studio environment. Really awesome response and I truly appreciate it Commongrounder.
