How would one start to create YouTube Videos?

Question

I would imagine creating comedy YouTube videos would be a great hobby. But how would one start? What kind of video camera, and what kind of other props would be important? Of course I would not expect to gain any subscribers, but after watching popular YouTube comedians, it seems fun.

Answer 2

Being a youtube comedian IS fun... lots of fun.

1. First you need a camera. It depends how much you want to spend, but for starters, go with a cheapish camera. Second hand ones can be good, but risky... make sure don't ever spend under $150 for a video camera. Get a good brand, too. I use a Canon, and it's great to use.

2. Then, you'll need a tripod. Again, you can spend really high or really low, it depends on how good quality you want it. I use a $15 one, and it's lasted me for ages.

3. Make sure you have FireWire on your computer. It's an attachment that allows USB cables to go from the computer to the video camera (It has a 1394 at the top). Most new computers have it, but if not, you can get one put in at a computer store for around $50 - $60. The USB cable will cost from $20 - $30, depending on the brand. If you don't have this attachment, you won't get the info from the camera to the computer.

4. Film your video. It can be about ANYTHING... make it fun for the viewer and a topic lots of people can relate to and enjoy.

5. Get good editing software, or just use Windows Movie Maker. Your editing needs to be smooth and attractive to watch.

6. Have fun!

Answer 5

It's kinda fun actually =) Get a standard camera, but make sure it's got video capabilities. Maybe get a higher quality one for $140ish.

Get a good memory card, I'd say a 1-2Gb chip is good but make sure it's the right one.

Then take the video, and put it on your computer ( through card, or USB cable that comes with it ) then get it onto youtube =)

It should convert the video for you so you don't have to worry about format.

MAKE SURE the title and tags are what people would search for! if you get good tags, then people will find your video more and maybe you'll get some subscribers =)

good luck ^^
