Q. I am interested in airbrushing t-shirts. I have friends who do it but they live several states away. I was wondering where I could find somewhere online that can teach me how to airbrush t-shirts. I looked at a couple sites but I heard talk of needing a room with fans and didn't see any mention of that. Also I'd like recommendations for equipment. Thanks for the help.
A. try looking it up on youtube
What is your opinion on keeping a uniform style if you were to produce youtube videos?
Q. Okay, that sounds a little complicated, but what I mean is, if you wanted to begin a youtube account and had the intention of posting videos regularly, how important do you consider it is that these videos all correlate within a certain style or theme? For example, livelavalive has a very consistent style, while some successful other youtubers do not. Do you prefer maintaining a style or not?
A. What successful YouTubers do not? This is called "branding" and is the same basic marketing concepts that are involved in many different areas of life from advertising to consumer products to politics, even schools. Think, your school has certain colors associated with it, as well as a logo or mascott, a song, etc. How about Apple products? No matter if it is a phone, a computer, an mp3 player, or software, they all have a consistent look that is incorporated somehow to the design of the product, the packaging, the commercials, even the store. What do you think of when you think of Apple, you think of something clean, crisp, with solid colors and simple geometric logos such as an apple or a circle. A certain type of font, etc. Even if there isn't an actual apple logo there is still consistency of style. No elaborate designs and techy-techy words or names. "iPad, iPhone, iLife, iMac, iPod, MacBook, Guitarband" Very short names often times with the trademark "i" followed by a word.
You don't have to go to that extent in your YouTube channel, but from what I see, it is HIGHLY recommended to at least have some recurring theme, at least some sort of direction that you follow. Not all successful YouTubers have a theme song, but they all have some sort of branding.
sXePhil - "My name's Phillip DiFranco, and YOU'VE just been PHILLED in!"
CommunityChannel - Says "Hi" the same dorky little way with a wave of the hand. "Porno Music/Comment Time," recurring themes of lamingtons, crocs, "your Mum" etc.
RayWilliamJohnson - Always features funny videos with his voice dubbed over narrating it. Often times of animals or kids. "This is =3. I'm Ray William Johnson, and I approve this message!"
Fred - Always uses the same audio editing technique to give the high pitched voice effect. A hyper energy. Same type of shirts. Etc.
ShaneDawson - The golf ball "swoosh" sound from Apple Loops. Recurring themes such as "Miley," etc. Recurring characters such as "Sha-nay-nay," etc.
Even some of the more serious channels such as the politics ones like "HowTheWorldWorks" always records himself in about the same position, ends the video by saying "It's Friday May 24th, and that's how the world works."
One really good thing to try to incorporate is a consistent way to involve user feedback, such as spotlighting some of the most interesting comments at the end of your video or featuring clips from video responses and giving the person a "shout out."
Hope this was helpful. Good luck with your channel, check out my channel "SpecialFester." Leave me a message on my channel and I will check on yours occasionally and give you input.
