    I get a lot of comments on how I make my videos so in this video I will tell you exactly what software I use along with free alternatives and how I learned to use them and I’ll tell you exactly what equipment is use.
    This video will be split into 5 sections: Research & Writing, Audio, Illustration, Animation, and Editing & Music. They’re in the order I actually make the videos in.
    So how do you make UA-cam Documentaries, well let’s find out.

    On behalf of all new and small creators who use animation, thank you! The research bit really hit home for me. It's a rabbit hole that can either suck you in, or give you half a dozen ideas for projects down the line.

    Do audio editing starting from the end. Because the last take is almost always the one you want to use. Once you isolate the good take, it's faster to seek through to find the last take of the previous part (because the words are different) than it is to go forward and have to wade through all your takes to find the last/good take when the words are all the same between takes.

    • @shayneweyker
      @shayneweyker Рік тому +13

      @@richiexandersin2864 An audio recording of voice over typically has the reader read the text until they make an error. Recording continues but the reader then back up to the point before the sentence or paragraph where they made the error and then they begin again. This means the recording will look something like
      Section 1 first take
      ...
      Section 1 last take
      ...
      Section 10 first take
      ...
      Section 10 last take
      By listening to the audio at the end of the recording you find Section 10 last take. One you determine that's the take you want to keep, cut that into a separate clip from the rest of the recording. Then remove everything back to the end of section 9 last take listening for the words you know are in section 9. Then keep repeating the process you did for section 10 for each section until you have one clip for each section with the last/best take.

    As it took me the longest for my first (and only) short educational video, I used to only use google/Wikipedia for my sources and came very empty handed.

    I wondered this almost every time I watched any of your videos, and honestly the most mind-blowing thing recently has been the illustration/animation! I assumed you might have used some help (cause it's way better from the older stuff), but pretty impressive to see you handle all the aspects of educational video making! Like wow that's pretty talented, I'm impressed.
    Even better is your dedication to quality research, without which the videos would essentially be pointless, if not downright dangerous for the misinformation... And while your "academic integrity" is great, it does seem a bit tedious - like ask a professor the same questions and they'll quote it off the back of their head (aka Reddit like you said)... which brings me to my next point - NOT ALL SOURCES ARE EQUAL. Sure use Google Scholar, but then also be aware of the biases of the authors and the limitations of their papers - which is something I feel you should have at least mentioned in your video. Some topics are so obscure, it's almost a sin to take all your sourcing from a single author... All that being said, like you said Wikipedia is pretty good, and all the topics that I personally know about have been pretty spot on... like mostly... some of it were triggeringly wrong, cause I see the ground reality here, where I live. But alas I don't blame you - Eurocentric anthropological studies and hard to access locations, like archeological evidence from decades old warzones or super restrictive countries, are a problem worldwide academia-wise! Really wish we could apply your (and mine!) passion to study all the lesser known topics in the world, which I always see this channel try to cover. And like honestly really well done! I appreciate it. I feel like you should be funded by National Geographic or something. Send a team of researchers to new locations. Awesome job!
