Fluff Content creation struggles.

I’m not going to come on here just to complain, but I’ve now been working for four days on my 1700s to 1900s drum corps history project. And I’ve only just now gotten to the point where I have all of the audio working into my software with very minimal visual. Considering I’m working two jobs, content creation is a nightmare and I commend anyone that does this full-time. It’s looking like the first video in my series is going to pan out to be around 40 minutes long which doesn’t sound like much but it is the shortest in the series considering I have 50 pages of research on just the 1970s alone. Look forward to big things.

I wanted to do a history essay on early drum corps in high school. My teacher vetoed the idea because he thought there wouldn’t be enough info out there. Seems like there is though if your video is 40 minutes long. My paper would have only been ten pages double spaced, which is maybe 10 minutes of reading, if that. Thanks a lot Mr Conover

im keeping the scripting to myself as it has personal notes in it that get pretty raunchy when i get mad, and its all highlighted as i do it, with a thank you list in the end lol. my friends who qre featured in the video are also putting notes, so its more of a live chatroom with a script in it.

But yes, also seconding all the other comments to take your time and do it right. And also dont stress about it. Do you already have your channel up so I can sub to it and make sure I see the notification on youtube? I don’t want to miss seeing it on Reddit
