I just wanted to post a current update as to what I am doing now. Don't worry, it's not a "I'm leaving YouTube" message. But do take a read to understand my current small situation.
I've been trying to think of the next video to do since YouTube has always been a great time for me. Unfortunately, I have been having weeks of "writer's block" in YouTube form, meaning I just do not know what else to make.
I have to give credit to the mashup I did last year, which miraculously achieved 1 million views as of today, which is the highest for any video of mine, so I thank you all for the continued support! Because of that, the building of hype for the next video is rather ambitious. I know that lots still make new videos next even if the first one tops it. But I want to make videos that meet expectations and don't just get thrown out for the sake of adding channel content.
My thought process has always been to do mashups that get better the more I learn more. I've done the first TMNT mashup with the 1987 with the 2016 theme, then adding the Shredder's Revenge in a new video. But then, changing course to the more popular video of the 2012 with the ROTMNT themes.
The issue with the latest one is not that it's bad. But from everyone's very positive and heartwarming reactions, it's the contrary that's the reason. This is a personal opinion, but the video has reached possibly the highest peak on the channel that it makes it hard for me to figure out what to do next.
It's not that I do not want to upload anything else, like I said. It's when you accomplish something you never thought possible and wonder what to do next that's the issue. How do you build from that? What new thing can you do that can either be on or exceed that same level? I'm sure some of y'all who are YouTubers experienced this "writer's block" scenario.
Another thing: I've been playing a very addictive MMO called Star Wars The Old Republic. That has been all my summer days as of this writing. I've been constantly going back and forth about doing a review on the game, but I'm not very sure.
Again, please do not take this as a "this is goodbye". I am determined to continue making new content. Even if it won't reach the heights of the mashup I spoke about, that shouldn't keep me from doing more for the channel, especially because you guys have supported me so much and I just can't thank you enough.
I've said this a thousand times, but any mashup ideas are very much welcome. But it will depend on the music and what can be edited to fit perfectly. I do have some music at the back that I could upload, but fine-tuning may be a priority first.
Thank you guys so much for the support. Like I said, my mashup reached 1 million views, the first for any video of mine. I sincerely enjoyed doing this for you wonderful folks and I hope you continue to share it to others, make your own mashups as I've seen from time to time! I will figure it out eventually and let y'all know what video will happen next!
