Alfonso Espina's Interviews with Jack & Finn Harries, Jim Chapman, Tyler Oakley and A.J. Rafael
This video is part of my YouTubers article on The Huffington Post: //www.huffingtonpost.com/alfonso-espina/young-youtube-partners-fi_b_2324241.html ...
Have you read the article this was part of? Because it goes more in depth
in to the concept of being a YouTube partner. If it wasn't obvious, I chose
to ask everyone a lot of the same questions on specific aspects of being a
successful YouTube partner with a self-name business/brand. But I did ask
different questions for each, to adjust to their different characteristics.
For example, A.J. Rafael previously used MySpace as a medium to promote his
music, which is why I asked him to compare...
okay. i just read the article. and it does offer some greater insight.
maybe im being biased because i think there are questions i really would
have liked to hear these guys answer and they just may not have been
relevant to your article and accompanying video. for example, jack and
finn's dad is a television and film producer, i would have liked to hear if
he was influential in helping them craft their videos. this leading into
asking them about their process of making a video, do they
ack..continuing from below...storyboard, write a script first? how much of
creating their youtube video is improvisation over set crafting? one also
major question i would like to hear answered by them or tyler or charlie
mcdonnell who have these ginormous audiences is how do they feel about the
shift from when they started and had smaller more intimate audiences where
they could connect individually to one where they have so many that
personal contact is all but impossible...
haha im not a big commentor so these are all out of order. also, do they
find it difficult to generate ideas after making videos for years. do they
feel pressure to create the same type of content that gave them their large
audiences even though they may want to shift to another approach? one thing
a lot of these guys also do is the same video (cinnamon challenge) why is
this? anyways, some of the things i thought might come up but didnt hear.
yeah alfonso i didnt intend for it to be a hate comment at all. i really
like these youtubers and have just really learned about them the last six
months and im really curious to see what they do as time goes on as i think
theyre at the forefront along with the likes of charlie mcdonnell, of
shaping online entertainments next generation. i admit i did not actually
read the huffpost article and i will to get context.
@Jussyizeful Thanks! I don't consider the previous comment a 'hate comment
though. I just think that if you've only watched this video and not read
the article you're going to misinterpret the purpose/focus of the
interviews. It's not a Barbara Walters interview. It's a business story. I
didn't want to ask them private questions that had nothing to do with the
business article.
Thanks! =) There's a link to an article on the description section with
even more stuff about YouTubers as entrepreneurs. It includes a couple
videos I made with my friend Cianna (aka Sachie) I did the interviews in
the span of September to November. Jim was the first person I interviewed.
The last person I interviewed was Finn.
This could have been really amazing, but the questions weren't very thought
through beforehand. They could have been really probing and insightful, but
they were a bit light. This is a fascinating medium and I wish the
interviews were more deep.
MySpace with YouTube: which was more beneficial in promoting his music and
brand. I highly recommend reading the article, because I feel like you're
misinterpreting the purpose of the interviews by watching them out of
context of the article.
Thanks! :D It's insane when you compare how many subscribers they have now
compared to that article in Dec 2012. A major increase in a short period of
time.
OMg he lost friends and even a girlfriend because of youtube :o i feel soo
sad for him , if i ever meet him i think imma give him the biggest hug ever

*COSMOS 2013 Lectures*
Ms. Sara Beck - "Variable Stars: Fun and Science"
*This year at COSMOS we decided to record all our guest lecturers and
upload the talks to YouTube. This is the second of the series, we hope you
enjoy them and consider joining us at next years COSMOS.*
*Summary*
Observing variable stars can be fun. Submitting your observations to
organizations such as the American Association of Variable Star Observers
(AAVSO) helps to ensure that your work is also scientifically useful. In
this talk, Sara will show what happens when people pool their observations
into a large database over a long period of time. She will discuss what
kinds of information can be gleaned from this database, and why
professional astronomers find it irresistible.
