Just wanted to hop on here and say THANK YOU to everyone watching and commenting on my shorts. I totally missed the announcement of 50,000 subs (which was like a month ago) and now the channel’s almost at 65K!!
I promise the long form vids are coming 🙏🏼 it’s taken me a bit longer to get them going than anticipated but I wanna make sure they’re done right. Thanks to all of you - it really means the world 🤗

🦖 32 years ago today (June 9, 1993), Jurassic Park premiered at the Uptown Theatre in Washington D.C. It went on to gross over $914 million its initial theatrical run and became the highest-grossing film of all time until Titanic (1997). In fact, it's the oldest movie to surpass 1 billion in ticket revenues if you include it's 20th anniversary re-release!
🎥 Jurassic Park won 3 Academy Awards for Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Visual Effects. Fun fact, most of the visual effects were done with animatronics and stop motion, and there were only about 4-6 minutes of on-screen CGI (63 visual effects shots).
🔊 The sound effects not only won 2 academy awards, they laid the foundation on how we thought dinosaurs sounded like for many years (probably until today, honestly).

I'm using the A/B Thumbnail test feature for the first time! 🥳 I'm running it on my latest video, where I tell the story of applying to become a university Professor. Which thumbnail do you think will win the A/B Test?

Help me choose a thumbnail!
I’ve got a new video tomorrow comparing a cheap vs expensive shotgun microphone. Really excited with how it turned out 😄 I would love your help choosing a thumbnail and title though. What do you think?
1. Synco D2 vs Sennheiser MKH416
2. $1000 vs $200 Microphone.
3. BEST MIC for small spaces 🏠
