I know how that feels. Working for what feels like nothing... It pays off in the end, you just have to stick with it. Cant imagine how difficult this was. Amazing work
zombieBOSS Gaming who are you talking to? me or him. If it is me I was just making a video game reference to how good that comment was. If it was him. How do you not know what he is talking about?
That's the point. If you help the community, then the community would help you in return. It's really toxic that ego ruins most adaptions. That's why most novel/game/remake movies are terrible. They can't even copy a thing well. If they had great source materials, they always ruin it because it's not "original".
I think what made this blow up more than your other projects was the story, and how you directed the whole thing. The beginning immediately caught my attention and had a ton of suspense, and it wasn't just pure action but had excellent interactions between characters. Great commentary, I'll be waiting for your next thing.
This. Is. Amazing. I didn't even realise it was made in GTA V because it was that well made. If you ever feel like putting yourself through it again, know that the work you did on this was without a doubt completely worth it. The way the characters acted made you feel disappointed and/or sad when one of them doesn't make it out. They are easily likeable and make you want to root for them until the end. The fact that you only showed the monster at the end created a lot of suspense as you don't really know what it could be. Personally I would've liked it if the last scene was them leaving the site but I don't know much about anything so I'm not sure on it. To sum it up in 6 words: Good shit man, keep it up.
You know there are even a ton more SCP stories out there you could do like "The failed exploration of the underground caves of SCP-610." "The incident where SCP-096 breaches containment and run rampant on a entire town with the oversight of Dr. Dan." "What happened to site 13?" "The police raid on The Children of the Scarlet King which lead to dicovering SCP-231." Or even do Narration videos like what the UA-camr "K0noa" is doing, who made some awesome stories with Men of War, Arma 3, and Hoi4.
19:20 The death of Quinn was pretty apparent to me. The body bag really hit it home that he was straight up dead. The scene where Graham is talking to him before he dies was actually where I figured he died, as I thought that was a little obvious, but having them around the body bag really made it way more emotional. I think that entire part was amazingly well done.
First Contact was in my mind a love letter to the early mornings in high school when I would be transfixed by your Shards series you did with Halo 4 , and besides RvB, Shards was the only GOOD series the game pumped out. With that series you lured me right away with the checker-past mercenaries and was heartbroken when I watched your video that the series being scrapped due to technical issues, which despite my sadness of the loss of a great I completely understand you scrapping. This video harkens back to the glory days of Machinima, and I wish I could shake your hand in thanks for you putting your time and detail into. I don't know what your plans are, but I think we your viewers who enjoyed as much as we did, for I know I did immensely from the checker-past characters (a fond memory) to the rising suspense, I hope you make more episodes in time. Your work is quality content and knows how to work out emotion in the viewer.
i want to say,if this level of machinima is what you can bring to the table,then youve got a whole mess of raw talent for making good stuff,and the team you assembled for it,ditto,its a shame that it took this long for your efforts to be noticed widespread,but im glad it finally did,i hope you stick with it and i hope yall get the recognition you deserve in time,ive been trying to hunt for visual supplements for foundation tales for ages,for years all ive had were stories and thankfully more recently,audio logs,videos,they're on another level
Dude, the video was great it's so well put together it took me several minutes in to even realize it was GTA V; Don't give up your Channel, I for one want to see more from your Productions because it was seriously good, regardless of what it may be on, SCP or not.
Your video was a gemstone amongst the SCP content there is out there. You really got me into loving the characters, especially Krueger. You had me yelling at my screen for them to run once the noise within the "pool" came. Well done.
I’ve been here all the way since your halo reach machinimas.. please keep doing what you do. Also it would be awesome if you could get TheVolgun SCP guy to work with to make awesome content. This was the best SCP video I’ve seen so far. The first scene fooled me as I thought it was real life, I thought to myself “wait how did you get MRAPs?”. Anyways great stuff. I am so excited for your work. Good job man
When using NVGs we don’t actually aim down our sights/scopes, we use IR (only visible through NVGs) lasers (PEQ 15’s) on the end of the rifle to show where we are shooting. At least that’s how my unit does it, I’m sure everyone has a different SOP on how to fight in low light environments
I actually know that, but unfortunately GTA V doesn't have any of that, and won't let me raise their weapons without ADS. Would have if I could have, dude.
Please make more videos you are the type of youtube i was trying to find like the GTA SCP first contact stuff for 1 year. You are the best keep up the great work bro.
Probably not from this guy the ending of the video wraps up what happens to the SCP and it doesn't need a second episode, his next project will most likely be a different SCP that he makes up
Everyone I forwarded "First Contact" to loved it. You did great work. Always amped to voice any role you give me, 'cause I know you're professional and top-tier as all-get-out. Don't ever give up.
I said it in your other video and I'll say it again here, you did a fan-fucking-tastic job on this. I'm legitimately surprised First Contact hasn't gotten millions of views up by now, but even if it doesn't I truly believe you will blow up on this site at some point. You have a very bright future in youtube, animation, film, and really whatever else you put that amount of work into. Even if you feel like this hasn't gotten the attention it deserved (which it hasn't), I sure as hell appreciate the amount of work you put into this, and I'm not the only one. I think if you keep trying you'll get very far, and I am definitely looking forward to they day you do.
The fact that you didnt hang up the towel on UA-cam film production is what gave us live-action masterpieces such as Dollhouse or Overlord. Keep it up, your directing work and the different people you are working with are all amazing!
Perhaps it's not my place to say "Worth the effort" considering I wasn't the one jumping through all the hoops, but still, can't deny how great this film was. I'm a routine player of GTA V, and I often in my freetime will read different SCPs, this is just perfect... Thank you!
SCP lore videos are something that I love to dive into. And man, YOU just took it to the next level. Amazing job, I'm looking forward to seeing more videos like this in the future.
I come back to your SCP videos consistently ever since I found them. Easily some of my favorite content on UA-cam. Great pacing, really believable acting/dialogue, great storytelling, great hooks, I could go on. Not a lot of people are making SCP content that represents the setting well outside of the UA-camrs explaining the lore. Don’t know what you’ve been up to since SCP: Overlord but I’ll continue to rewatch your films regardless. Keep it up!
Dude you have a knack for this, subbed, can't wait for more. Definitely keep it up bud. I got a shitty snowball mic too lol for uhh immersion. Something you could also try in the future is having a modded server to use and have actual 'actors,' I think that'd work as well.
You’re just straight up with everything, much better then other youtubers who make up excuses for not doing things/doing things ‘wrong’. Good stuff my friend, please make more videos
You did great man! I’m no professional in this but I’d imagine it’s frustrating to make something like this, but don’t let that beat you! Once again, you did awesome, I hope there could be more stuff like this in the future!
Amazing attention to detail, I really appreciate the amount of effort put in to make it feel authentic. I really agree with you on the uniforms part too, a lot of people kind of miss on that but it makes perfect sense. If someone were to capture you or videotape you and you got an SCP Logo patch on your uniform with "SCP" or "MTF" on the back of your vest, it defeats the purpose of operating in a clandestine fashion. You never see some organization like the CIA doing that. Its just dumb. It's different when you're on site and no one but members of the facility can identify you.
Eyy, I saw the original video on my recomend. It looked great, and I didn't even realize it was GTA! I thought it was a professional animation it looks so good! I have now subscribed, and I can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great work!
If you strife Towards an idea...or something you like....continue...no matter the result. Do what you love dont force yourself to do something you dont want to do. The video you did was amazing and the best animation i could see! You have the skills. And with some polishing in that you could become the best! I honestly enjoyed it it was creepy, thrilling, misterious and also amazing! You did an amazing job at it!
Lol I’m glad you finally got some recognition after all these years. Your machinima vids have always stood out as having some of the most fleshed our characters.
My favorite part of the whole thing was the banter between the characters especially near the beginning as I felt it made them feel like actual people. It was cool, good work.
Bro, people really love QUALITY SCP Content, you should keep it up, the stories are amazing, you would have material for years and years and never get bored over it !
Dude. I first watched this yesterday and I had to subscribe. It's just amazing! I've always loved machinima and what people can do to a video game. I've always wanted to be apart of one myself but I figured I didn't really have a decent microphone or anything. You do such a great job, though. The voice acting, the editing, the story, all just beautifully made. Keep up the wonderful work. It's definitely worthwhile!
Please do not give up on this channel. I was brought here by your the SCP video, but am now starting to watch your older content and it is great as well. Keep going man.
Love the video. It really made me think that Canada might be a little cooler then it really is. I was on the edge of my seat while watching it. I hope you do more like it. If so then I'm excited to see more work from you.
This commentary will help a lot of people making videos with a similar feel and look going forward. Thank you, and I hope we continue to see more of your work as well!
my roommate and i were absolutely blown away by it!!! please keep doing more of the horror genre in general, not even SCP. i look forward to more work from you!!
This was absolutely phenomenal! I loved every aspect of it; so suspenseful, so immersive, so real! I'm glad you didn't call it quits, and hope you continue on after this. I'd love to help out with any future projects you have, I'd be quite interested in working with you.
I hope you don’t quit man,this is the best stuff to come out on the SCP community in a loooong time.I would rather watch your video than movies partly because this is something I care about and something your good at.
Been patiently waiting for more amazing short productions from you like this for years, and it was worth the wait man. I’ll have to go catch up and watch Katabasis too - feels like watching a movie! Hands down best shorts I’ve seen have been your creations! I’m glad you kept going, we’re all still here 🤟
You have done some amazing animation work in making the SCP foundation a strong film with eerie intention and mystery. I can't wait to see what other projects will come out of you next keep it up!
You are doing what the community has been wanting for so long, but no one has been able to pull off quite as well.. Please do more SCP 'movie' type video's, I can ensure you that many of us would gladly watch more of this. Also maybe you could do some co-operation with someone like TheVolgun and the other SCP guys on here?
First video just based on how awesome that was instant sub bro props very very well done all around really loved the voice actors and there characters and dont give up bro everything takes time I'm new to the channel but cant wait for more all the sound felt like it really fit even the crackly mic
You should deffinently make more of this, for starters i think scp-1703 would be really cool to watch. Its a facility that was broken down and now a bunch of scps are still in there. I think that would be really cool
This was really good man! I could have watched a full length movie version of this. I also really like how you didn't just kill off every member of the team like I thought was going to happen. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Also, just so you know, I am brand new to your channel. This video (not the director commentary obviously) was the first video I've seen from your channel and I definitely just subscribed. Just an FYI.
Hey man, this channel is really good and the amount of work and effort into your videos are perfect, but dude keep up more work like this and have some patients your channel will succeed and always keep up the good work
It came out good. I thought I was late to discover the scp universe cuz all the videos I've seen are several years old. Very cool to see this movie of yours was only few weeks old. Other than the walking underwater I thought you made a solid video
My guy I love the stuff you’ve made, and I think that more SCP type stuff would help your channel a lot. The SCP Fanbase is huge and is out from mainstream so it stays even better(along with me being a huge SCP nerd).
I liked it very well, i was late by like a month, but it was a good video. Watched it like 8 times, real asf. I wish I had those outfits you all had during it, very planned out, took a long time, but it was worth it. One million views
I would literally do anything for you to continue work on scp videos and other things that you love. The scp ones are literally my favorite videos on youtube.
I know how you feel...... I feel the same when I put a lot of effort into my vids and no one sees them, really sucks but awesome mate love your scp series, wish I was as lucky as you, wish I had a quarter of the number of subs you have, well can't wait to see the next scp video, hyped for it the trailer is sick.
Hey Evan, Kudos for continuing what is really an obvious act of dedication and the love of film making, and it's incredibly creative of you to use the backgrounds of games like GTA5 to execute your visions. I am not sure if you'll read this, but it definitely sounds like your biggest problem (like any artistic UA-camr's) is exposure in an incredibly saturated market. While you have your own little technical blips to work out in your process, the ultimate issue is to get people to *see* it. I worked in the "influencer" business (with focus on UA-cam) for 3 years and now work in SEO, and there are a few things you can do to help UA-cam's search algorithm to better find your own videos, and then a few things you can do on your own channel to help with content to give you more "exposure" to UA-cam's algorithms: 1. Update your 'About' profile. The about profile is drawn upon in the overall algorithm, especially when they display a UA-camr profile rather than video in the search results. You want to explain to your viewers in a bit more layman terms what you do; I thought "machinima" referred to the company, not the actual video creation process. There is no mention that you create short films (which, for anyone who does not know the term machinima, would really help). Mentioning which games you use for machinima also help. If you don't ONLY do machinima short films, tell us about the other mediums! All of that helps your overall UA-cam SEO. 2. Tags. Go to an incognito/private browser, go to UA-cam, and start typing in search terms that you think you would like your video to appear for. See if other videos in your search term look very similar to your own production. If they do, that is a good tag to use! Try to be as broad as possible *while still being relevant to your video*. 3. Video title: At least one key tag should be in the name of your video title. One reason this video performed so well, I think, is that you used 'SCP', which has a small, but very dedicated fan base. Similar keywords could help push your video further. 4. Your video descriptions should also be detailed (without being spammy) on exactly what the video entails. For a lot of these animations and short videos, I see a brief summary of the content, then the technology used in the video, then creation/voice/etc credits. Consider adding all that in. You may want to go back to your older work that you think should be performing better, but is not, and optimize the video titles, tags, and descriptions to match what the content is, and what you think people would search for to try and see something that you are making. It's also incredibly difficult to keep content continuously coming for a channel like this, which is what UA-cam also wants to see. While you are creating new projects, to keep yourself "on the map", so to speak, here are some ideas for 'filler' content in between the great videos, just so you can attempt to have at least two videos a month: 1. Trailers (as you have in the past) 2. Bloopers (both in voice acting, the tech messing up, and just general human error like running into walls). 3. Little snapshots and 'previews' of in-progress work. 4. More videos about the technology; you clearly know what you are talking about, and these may be much easier to produce. Derral Eves is a UA-camr that focuses on UA-cam optimization; I would browse through his content for a couple hours to get a better idea of how to get UA-cam's algorithm to pick up your stuff. You clearly have talent and a good work ethic. At this point of time, it's just learning how to work with UA-cam's system to get your work out there. There is a bit of a learning curve, but definitely nothing you cannot handle with the technology you already deal with. A big reason I wrote this mini-essay is due to your obvious talent. I hope that this can be of assistance. Good luck! Email me at ainu . laire at gmail . com if you have any questions.
This was awesome. I'd love to give some feedback but unfortunately I don't know anything about working with this stuff and what your limitations are. But the way Military Forces typically handle aiming down sights with NODs on is using a laser like the AN/PEQ-2. It's actually near impossible to use sights with NODs because you don't have any depth of field, so it's all very blurry and aiming becomes difficult and much slower, especially if you have those big GPNVG-18s on your head like you said. So seeing lasers would be pretty neat if it's possible with what you work with.
I know how that feels. Working for what feels like nothing... It pays off in the end, you just have to stick with it. Cant imagine how difficult this was. Amazing work
speech perk has reached level 100.
What the he'll are you talking about?
@@vintageproductions6149 what
zombieBOSS Gaming who are you talking to? me or him. If it is me I was just making a video game reference to how good that comment was. If it was him. How do you not know what he is talking about?
oh how right you were
Dont give up! Everyone in the SCP community will absolutely adore you for these types of videos!
Idk Something
Aye! I would love if he did, “What Happened at Site 13”...It would fit the style.
So true. animated shorts like this one are definitely expanding media of the scp universe
Anton Parovchenko I don't know if you would call these animation maybe a hybrid or something because many shot look it was was taken in real life
That's the point. If you help the community, then the community would help you in return. It's really toxic that ego ruins most adaptions. That's why most novel/game/remake movies are terrible. They can't even copy a thing well. If they had great source materials, they always ruin it because it's not "original".
Truth be told there's not a lot of Focus to make media on the Militaristic aspect of SCP, let alone making accurate.
I think what made this blow up more than your other projects was the story, and how you directed the whole thing. The beginning immediately caught my attention and had a ton of suspense, and it wasn't just pure action but had excellent interactions between characters. Great commentary, I'll be waiting for your next thing.
This. Is. Amazing. I didn't even realise it was made in GTA V because it was that well made. If you ever feel like putting yourself through it again, know that the work you did on this was without a doubt completely worth it.
The way the characters acted made you feel disappointed and/or sad when one of them doesn't make it out. They are easily likeable and make you want to root for them until the end.
The fact that you only showed the monster at the end created a lot of suspense as you don't really know what it could be.
Personally I would've liked it if the last scene was them leaving the site but I don't know much about anything so I'm not sure on it.
To sum it up in 6 words:
Good shit man, keep it up.
You know there are even a ton more SCP stories out there you could do like
"The failed exploration of the underground caves of SCP-610."
"The incident where SCP-096 breaches containment and run rampant on a entire town with the oversight of Dr. Dan."
"What happened to site 13?"
"The police raid on The Children of the Scarlet King which lead to dicovering SCP-231."
Or even do Narration videos like what the UA-camr "K0noa" is doing, who made some awesome stories with Men of War, Arma 3, and Hoi4.
site 13 one would be haaard
19:20 The death of Quinn was pretty apparent to me. The body bag really hit it home that he was straight up dead. The scene where Graham is talking to him before he dies was actually where I figured he died, as I thought that was a little obvious, but having them around the body bag really made it way more emotional. I think that entire part was amazingly well done.
There is a real need for SCP animations or such. there literally is like 3 channels that do anything worth watching.

Your production quality is absolutely insane, I would pay for this.

You are the best keep up the great work bro.
More SCP content please
Do more dude, earned a new sub from me, I'll absolutely look forward to more SCP episodes no matter how long it takes it's definitely worth it
Pls don’t quit vro you’re really talented
Will there be a second episode of the SCP?
Eh probably
Probably not from this guy the ending of the video wraps up what happens to the SCP and it doesn't need a second episode, his next project will most likely be a different SCP that he makes up
Yes scp ghost town
It's already been contained tho
Nah nah, this channel is mad good my guy dead ass. Keep being awsome. The level of detail and execution of these machinemas is incredible.

This was so well made, it took me several minutes to realize this was GTA V and not SFM or some other game or program. Loved it.

Love the video. It really made me think that Canada might be a little cooler then it really is. I was on the edge of my seat while watching it. I hope you do more like it. If so then I'm excited to see more work from you.
This commentary will help a lot of people making videos with a similar feel and look going forward. Thank you, and I hope we continue to see more of your work as well!
I love seeing your creative process. It's interesting as hell.
my roommate and i were absolutely blown away by it!!! please keep doing more of the horror genre in general, not even SCP. i look forward to more work from you!!
This was absolutely phenomenal! I loved every aspect of it; so suspenseful, so immersive, so real! I'm glad you didn't call it quits, and hope you continue on after this. I'd love to help out with any future projects you have, I'd be quite interested in working with you.
This was super interesting and I liked the solo story telling type chill vibes of this. It's not every day people even do commentary! Very nice.
I hope you don’t quit man,this is the best stuff to come out on the SCP community in a loooong time.I would rather watch your video than movies partly because this is something I care about and something your good at.
Been patiently waiting for more amazing short productions from you like this for years, and it was worth the wait man. I’ll have to go catch up and watch Katabasis too - feels like watching a movie! Hands down best shorts I’ve seen have been your creations! I’m glad you kept going, we’re all still here 🤟
You have done some amazing animation work in making the SCP foundation a strong film with eerie intention and mystery. I can't wait to see what other projects will come out of you next keep it up!
Really like the setup of the room and the music in the background, great vibes man.
You are doing what the community has been wanting for so long, but no one has been able to pull off quite as well.. Please do more SCP 'movie' type video's, I can ensure you that many of us would gladly watch more of this. Also maybe you could do some co-operation with someone like TheVolgun and the other SCP guys on here?
Nice to see you making machinima like content again.
I found your channel through your S.H.A.R.D.S. series(WHICH WAS AWESOME).
This was great, thank you. It was very immersive. I'll be on the look out from more from you.
I saw the video and thought to myself, HOW THE HELL IS THIS GUY NOT SUPER FAMOUS YET
First video just based on how awesome that was instant sub bro props very very well done all around really loved the voice actors and there characters and dont give up bro everything takes time I'm new to the channel but cant wait for more all the sound felt like it really fit even the crackly mic
Great vid man, really love the SCP stuff
The video was super great definitely an inspiration I loved the mix of gta and scp two things I love keep up the good work man I love it.
Trust me,this is the best short movie i've seen so far.Keep it up!
Do not give up, you have potential, you just need ideas
Which I think scp is the idea he can do
You should deffinently make more of this, for starters i think scp-1703 would be really cool to watch. Its a facility that was broken down and now a bunch of scps are still in there. I think that would be really cool
I'm sad, I thought you would release another one... it was the best I have ever seen. Please make more
I loved the scene when I think it was Kruger got caught by the SCPs and screamed "RUN!" and blew himself up. That was just so damn good man.
I'm glad you kept going, I'll be excited for your next project.
This was really good man! I could have watched a full length movie version of this. I also really like how you didn't just kill off every member of the team like I thought was going to happen. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Also, just so you know, I am brand new to your channel. This video (not the director commentary obviously) was the first video I've seen from your channel and I definitely just subscribed. Just an FYI.
Please don't quit, we're here for you!
Bro this was amazing you gotta continue!
Hey man, this channel is really good and the amount of work and effort into your videos are perfect, but dude keep up more work like this and have some patients your channel will succeed and always keep up the good work
That video was fucking amazing. Please make more like this on the scp topic. The community will love it and so will a lot of more people
So this was done in GTA? I don't even know where to begin with how that's even done. I understand mods are involved but wow.
It came out good. I thought I was late to discover the scp universe cuz all the videos I've seen are several years old. Very cool to see this movie of yours was only few weeks old. Other than the walking underwater I thought you made a solid video
My guy I love the stuff you’ve made, and I think that more SCP type stuff would help your channel a lot. The SCP Fanbase is huge and is out from mainstream so it stays even better(along with me being a huge SCP nerd).
These animations are really amazing, please make more
I liked it very well, i was late by like a month, but it was a good video. Watched it like 8 times, real asf. I wish I had those outfits you all had during it, very planned out, took a long time, but it was worth it. One million views
You're legendary, can't wait to see more from you!
Don't doubt yourself fam, this was fucking amazing. You did an amazing job, I'm eagerly awaiting your next projects!
God damned great!
Dude, I didn't even realize this was in GTA V, you're darned good at this.
Keep up the good work!!
Make more SCP videos like this I actually felt a sense of discomfort I love it 😍 GREAT JOB 10/10
Make more of these man, they don't have to be long either these are really cool.
I would literally do anything for you to continue work on scp videos and other things that you love.
The scp ones are literally my favorite videos on youtube.
I know how you feel...... I feel the same when I put a lot of effort into my vids and no one sees them, really sucks but awesome mate love your scp series, wish I was as lucky as you, wish I had a quarter of the number of subs you have, well can't wait to see the next scp video, hyped for it the trailer is sick.
Hay man, you should totally turn this into a series! This could go sooo so far! Please do more! Another chapter maybe? That'd be so cool!
Hey Evan,
Kudos for continuing what is really an obvious act of dedication and the love of film making, and it's incredibly creative of you to use the backgrounds of games like GTA5 to execute your visions.
I am not sure if you'll read this, but it definitely sounds like your biggest problem (like any artistic UA-camr's) is exposure in an incredibly saturated market. While you have your own little technical blips to work out in your process, the ultimate issue is to get people to *see* it. I worked in the "influencer" business (with focus on UA-cam) for 3 years and now work in SEO, and there are a few things you can do to help UA-cam's search algorithm to better find your own videos, and then a few things you can do on your own channel to help with content to give you more "exposure" to UA-cam's algorithms:
1. Update your 'About' profile. The about profile is drawn upon in the overall algorithm, especially when they display a UA-camr profile rather than video in the search results. You want to explain to your viewers in a bit more layman terms what you do; I thought "machinima" referred to the company, not the actual video creation process. There is no mention that you create short films (which, for anyone who does not know the term machinima, would really help). Mentioning which games you use for machinima also help. If you don't ONLY do machinima short films, tell us about the other mediums! All of that helps your overall UA-cam SEO.
2. Tags. Go to an incognito/private browser, go to UA-cam, and start typing in search terms that you think you would like your video to appear for. See if other videos in your search term look very similar to your own production. If they do, that is a good tag to use! Try to be as broad as possible *while still being relevant to your video*.
3. Video title: At least one key tag should be in the name of your video title. One reason this video performed so well, I think, is that you used 'SCP', which has a small, but very dedicated fan base. Similar keywords could help push your video further.
4. Your video descriptions should also be detailed (without being spammy) on exactly what the video entails. For a lot of these animations and short videos, I see a brief summary of the content, then the technology used in the video, then creation/voice/etc credits. Consider adding all that in.
You may want to go back to your older work that you think should be performing better, but is not, and optimize the video titles, tags, and descriptions to match what the content is, and what you think people would search for to try and see something that you are making.
It's also incredibly difficult to keep content continuously coming for a channel like this, which is what UA-cam also wants to see. While you are creating new projects, to keep yourself "on the map", so to speak, here are some ideas for 'filler' content in between the great videos, just so you can attempt to have at least two videos a month:
1. Trailers (as you have in the past)
2. Bloopers (both in voice acting, the tech messing up, and just general human error like running into walls).
3. Little snapshots and 'previews' of in-progress work.
4. More videos about the technology; you clearly know what you are talking about, and these may be much easier to produce.
Derral Eves is a UA-camr that focuses on UA-cam optimization; I would browse through his content for a couple hours to get a better idea of how to get UA-cam's algorithm to pick up your stuff.
You clearly have talent and a good work ethic. At this point of time, it's just learning how to work with UA-cam's system to get your work out there. There is a bit of a learning curve, but definitely nothing you cannot handle with the technology you already deal with. A big reason I wrote this mini-essay is due to your obvious talent. I hope that this can be of assistance.
Good luck! Email me at ainu . laire at gmail . com if you have any questions.
i didn't realise it was GTA until the end, with the cargobob. it was amazing!
Keep going bro, I would luv to see more SCP or horror + guns videos from you. Absolutely Astonishing.
This was awesome. I'd love to give some feedback but unfortunately I don't know anything about working with this stuff and what your limitations are. But the way Military Forces typically handle aiming down sights with NODs on is using a laser like the AN/PEQ-2. It's actually near impossible to use sights with NODs because you don't have any depth of field, so it's all very blurry and aiming becomes difficult and much slower, especially if you have those big GPNVG-18s on your head like you said. So seeing lasers would be pretty neat if it's possible with what you work with.
Would love more SCP stuff! This is really really good.
shame you haven't gained much recognition, but your content's definitely convinced me to stick around
This was one of the best scp movie things that I have ever seen bravo
Your stuff is good man, I wonder why your channel hasn't blown up yet.
