Why I Resurrected My Hidden Youtube Channel "Abroad Perspective" (Patreon)
Content
It's refreshing - to pull out a camera and film something at 10 seconds notice, film it in 15 minutes and have it uploaded within an hour. Sometimes I wish I was an actual vlogger...
While I'm proud of Abroad in Japan and where the channel is after 7 years of hard work, I can't help but feel recently that my hands are tied and I have no quick mouthpiece to the world any more.
The bar I've set for myself with Abroad in Japan videos is so high that there's always tons of editing required - often a minimum of 5 long days to produce a video (writing, filming, editing, etc.).
I miss making more spontaneous spur of the moment stuff (like in this video) and I feel like I may be able to unleash a bit more creativity without being burdened by the shackles of expectation through Abroad Perspective.
In the past I know I've talked about things I'd like to do with the channel, but rather than sit around and think about what to do, from now on I'm just going to pull out my camera and film something and get on with it.
That doesn't mean the quality of the videos will be lower - it just means they're going to be raw, and in all honesty, a bit bolder than what I'd dare place on the flagship channel. But above all, I just want to have fun with.
Now go and watch me fail at building a futon!
