    While I can unfortunately not afford Patreon at the moment, I will try to support you by any other means available and I honestly feel that of all the channels I am subscribed to, this is one of, if not the, best.

      +Firzenick $1 too much?

    • @Firzenick
      @Firzenick 9 років тому +2

      +Alex Lord yes actually, but I don't feel like explaining this to any particular random person on UA-cam. I don't appreciate your implications of my being dishonest.

      +Firzenick often, when I've talk to people in my life about supporting creators, the idea that $1 (or $12 a year) counts as support is thrown out. It's just implicitly seen as not valuable enough to the creator to even bother. I was bringing up the concept as a possibly less than as a tool for shaming.

      +Alex Lord well alright, I apologise for jumping to conclusions

    thank you for taking the time to talk about this - you make the idea of selling your unique viewpoint really appealing, you should talk about your process for making videos, you have simple yet effective production design and I'd like to see how the sausage gets made sometime

    The thing about ads on UA-cam is that, for the consumer, or at least for me, it doesn't make much of a difference. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos, some of them have ads, some don't, and I don't really pay attention to whether that is the case. Until you mentioned it, I couldn't figure out whether this video had ads or didn't. Maybe that's only my experience because I'm really spacey.

    It's interesting how you punctuate your face movements even more than you punctuate your voice. Is that just an on-camera thing or just how you roll?

    • @kohashiguchi1454

      Just a thought: if you look at cartoon voice actors acting the voices, in photos or on film/video, their facial expressions exaggerate the emotion they put into the character. Think of photos of Mel Blanc doing Bugs Bunny or Yosemite Sam.
      Mr. Danskin USUALLY does NOT show his face. In order to have the VOICE we all know, match the voice in THIS video, he probably has to over-express----or, as you put it, over-punctuate his face :)

    your face expressions and mannerisms and hearing your voice while seeing your face reminded me a lot of Wife, the Melee legend. You do look very much alike.

    Why did you film yourself on the side of the frame and not in the simmetric middle?

    • @joeykeilholz925
      @joeykeilholz925 8 років тому +2

      Why did you need to say symmetric middle instead of just middle? Why did you spell symmetric wrong? Why am I responding to a 4 month old comment?

    • @SuperDuckPro

      ***** because I wanted to be more descriptive, because english isnt my first language, and you should ask that to yourself.

      rule of thirds, "Image result for rule of thirds
      The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section."

      The rule of thirds is derived from the golden ratio, the true source of all aesthetic good in the world

      belated, and I'm guessing too: putting himself off to the side meant that he had a space he could gesture to that wasn't in front of his face that he could put info in.

    Thanks for this informative video. I found you because of a comment someone left on the ASOIAF Reddit in response to a post about female stereotypes depicted in Game of Thrones. This person linked to your series on female violence and the archetypes typically depicted in movies. I am glad I found this channel! I am a singer/songwriter about to launch a Kickstarter campaign for my album actually.

  • @chrisgoodwin8956
    @chrisgoodwin8956 9 років тому +3

    You've laid out some compelling points here. As someone who enjoyed the Smash video orders of magnitude more than the Gamergate series, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you don't switch gears fully to political commentary (though with the rationale you outline regarding views vs. audience commitment I could hardly blame you). Best of luck with your Patreon!

    (didnt watch the whole video)
    okay see, this is why I wrote an essay on "why people should invest in UA-cam." I already know where this video is going.
    My sincerest question to you, Ian, is are you the only one?? Is internet culture actually a major study yet? How many others do you work alongside with because I think I could find myself a part of that crowd. If there's a way I may contact you personally, can you please send a reply to this? I would really appreciate the response.

    "What people are buying is the privilege to be part of your story."
    I had to pause the video and listen to that again when you said it. I'm outlining a superhero fantasy series right now that I plan to release for free on various sites, but with extra bonuses (mini-series, one-shots, etc) and early access hidden behind the Patreon paywall. This line just spoke to me. The importance of selling the engagement to my Patrons, giving them the "privilege" so to speak of being able to see what goes into the story. Things like what some of my original ideas were, where I drew inspiration from, even the music that I have in mind for certain scenes.
    "The privilege of being part of your story."
    This is something that I will truly need to keep in mind, to keep for my Patrons and give them an extra reason to subscribe. Thank you, Ian. Now I will continue watching the video.
    Love your Alt-Right Playbook, by the way. I've recommended it to people and watched each of those videos like three times. Say, for the sake of argument, there's this UA-cam commenter who wants more of the Alt-Right Playbook :)
