 swear you better work on stream on we're back we're back we're back man that is just like OBS to crash in the first stream we've done in a freaking six months all right welcome back let me get everything settled here on the stream and very very special day here at site 42 everyone it's not a site 42 stream if the stream doesn't break you all know that I all know that all right well let me give you the short version of the story I was telling since this is the beginning of the stream again quicker on down we have a silver play button to unbox that's the last thing we're gonna do shake shake shake stop shaking scream we are going to tell a little bit of history of site 42 we're gonna tell a little bit about the future of site 42 and the SCP community as a whole at least the part I want to help with I will chat with the chat I will Q&A we will take some donos and answer some questions if you want to help out there are links in the description to the site 42 support links you can go to our sponsors you can go to our patreon you can help us build the best damn independent SCP film studio that we can so with that in mind from the top YouTube so we started with accidentally getting into the SCP voice acting game we made some voice demos they got views that was entertaining we didn't expect that and so from there is where we started actually making content and it was about I'd say about six months before we hit a thousand subscribers now back in the day there weren't as many SCP youtubers I think obviously Samarian good to see in the chat thank you brother you're gonna come up with us we're gonna keep making good stuff we're all gonna get bigger as we go jack good to see in the chat so at the time we had vulgar and east side Steve for the big guys the animated channels had not even come around yet and so by and by we were just getting started in the YouTube scene but if you look at my podcast stuff it's just audio which I've got an actor's voice I can edit it well enough but without the pictures that east side does or vulgans beautiful animations the channel has always been slow to grow and so while people like Samarian skyrocketed ahead of site 42 back in the day because better visuals telling community news the dank memes great ideas everyone's got to have their niche we just kind of slowly slowly slowly grew until tiktok and when it came to tiktok that is when site 42 started to blow up because we were able to get a lot of crossover over from there and in that same token once we started doing online on the on camera cosplay stuff for tiktok that's when we're like okay how do we move this over to YouTube and get on camera as well and that's where we made progress because we made a deal sponsorship deal with a app that vulgan and a bunch of other people didn't want to work with because they didn't want to do streaming so I made a little deal with them I did a streaming show for them the original original anomalous broadcast from site 42 if you go back in the day you will see the old videos the first ones behind a screen the later ones on camera but really low rent and so obviously we're looking better these days but we still have a long way to go we're still using the same laptop we use from that original show and so we're working our way up on the tech thing we're working our way with collaborating with other artists the collaborating with other artists is where I really want the future of site 42 to go so over our time I realized can't do it alone you can't build a film studio with one man so we started by getting synthetic alien to come on now if you go over to synths channel since I'm gonna move my microphone it keeps dipping lower it's weird well pick it back up lock it in place as I said low rent low tech so synthetic alien if you look at his work in the scp film space he deserves a lot more attention he's actually the closest thing we have to a homegrown filmmaker in the community doing indie stuff I met him way back when he wanted to use audio from my scp 3999 reading in a short film about scp 3999 which was pretty cool rather abstract so when you get that abstract it's hard for people to get it but we brought him in to help so that I could do the on-camera scp readings I'm gonna warn you YouTube is saying it's about to crash again gosh gosh darn it darn it be aware fingers crossed so we got synth on board we started doing the on-camera readings it's still on camera or it's still just scp readings but now we had better video quality we had better having someone on screen rather than just an audio podcast so that was a massive improvement Charles joined the editing team soon after that actually because he had been doing podcast editing and wanted to join the scp community in that sense so that was rather helpful as well and that is our current team of three synth myself and Charles while we work our way up to bigger and better things but trying to get in ways that we can help other voice actors we started doing that this past winter we have brought on as you may have seen Jack Mockery joined the voice cast as agent Jack Urquhart doing the ethics committee reading we've got two other voice actors who've yet to debut but they are working with Charles to get more scp's red than is currently possible in a one-man production and what that means is that the funny thing about doing these audio readings the way we do them is they make little to no money if you look at the streaming revenue even on larger channels there is not a lot of revenue in just plain scp readings but there is some and the hope is that if we keep building up more and more and more if we keep getting more and more people in it community-wise then we'll be able to fund bigger projects and we're not to that point yet either but my plan is that we're working with other filmmaking teams so we worked with the guys at sozo bear films they made the scp nine seven eight desire camera short film we were working with them on that and I thought that turned out really well for just a three minute little short about the desire camera they filmed it beautifully I hope they continue to work with us but then we also oh please stream stick together on this the internet's fine why are you failing YouTube all right you know what before the stream dies again let's do what we all came here for huh let's take this and we are going to open the box welcome to the box opening we tear it open because the tape is too powerful we open it up here we pull the tape we do our best not to self docks get the tape from the bottom we pull it out it's a race against the clock it's a race against the YouTube app my feeble researcher hands are not strong enough to break the tape good thing I have a pen perfect that's one tape number two pop tape number three pen goes bye bye box opens womp womp it's foam do you remember your first subscriber your hundredth or your thousandth chances are you do and we know that you'll definitely remember your 100,000 your fans may have found you while searching YouTube learned about you through a friend or maybe you showed up as a recommended video no matter how they

up to this camera we will all bask in the shininess because of the situation with performance mode I can't actually see if this is showing on the camera right now show me a second boom there it is there now I can see boom we got it we made it out alive so now that we have gotten that out of the way if the stream crashes we're good to go so we can keep chatting yeah we're not in the stream yet we just get started boom they put this somewhere where it's not gonna fall down oh it's obviously gonna fall down Sherman what are you doing boom good play button excellent yeah you can see my tripod in the reflection wonderful of course I can't drink water Ethan I am drinking anomalous fluid renegade media thank you for the super chat and good to see you guys I hope you guys's film comes out soon can't wait to see it I need to see you guys's progress on that so the future of site 42 my plans are to keep building what we're doing here we want to conscript more voice actors and we're gonna use the resources we have to help them get more tech so that their quality is better help them get the skill and practice in recording so they can both deliver good audio as well as practice their acting to improve their skills for future work when it comes to the film side I've renegade media in the next month fantastic reach out to me we gotta talk about that so my inspiration if you have Netflix there is a documentary series on there called the movies that made us and the movies that made us is about classic movies from the 70s 80s 90s that are pop culturally relevant and it goes into the behind the scenes of them and watch the episode on nightmare on elm street nightmare on elm streets production was super low rent and when it was being made it was just low budget low budget horror movie but once they got it done through financial and technical delays that low budget horror movie was so big that it made its budget I think it was 25 times back and it is the creation of new line cinema we have the teenage mutant ninja turtles live action movies because nightmare on elm street all it takes is a scrappy team to tell stories to make films and you can run that momentum and you can keep running that momentum and so we are gonna do this on YouTube we're gonna take the new line cinema model we're gonna be like a 24 making scrappy independent stories in the beginning it's gonna be us using YouTube and tiktok money to fund filmmakers we're gonna be the producers basically and the distributors we're gonna put them online and we're gonna use a combination of the indie studio model alongside the business models of YouTube greats such as Markiplier and MatPat they really have the key in on making art and projects in the YouTube space so if we can thread the needle of those two production workflows we will be able to fund and continue to fund and continue to fund something that was very very promising for us is that we were able to go fund me the scp 3008 theater show trip for myself toad king and emotional entropy we were able to raise three thousand dollars thirty five hundred dollars to fly the crew to LA now that was just barely enough I pardon I budgeted the expenses very well but I think I paid us like thirty dollars a day each for the trip but at least we didn't pay all of that out of pocket so that was a big improvement over not doing that but if we can do three thousand thirty five hundred dollars for a trip to film something we can start thinking about crowdfunding our own projects and between TikTok YouTube and Twitter or as I call them the site 42 red black and blue divisions we will be able to at first fund other people's projects and then eventually through distributing and helping the community we will be able to fund our own projects this comes from my back on that my background in community theater I worked with a troop in Florida for about seven years I came in as a dance captain and I taught them ballroom dancing which is my day job still have my day job we're not out of those woods yet but I taught them ballroom dancing and eventually I became an actor on their cast and then because I was a theater college dropout when the director left I was nominated to take over and so I directed a cast of about thirty five actors along with ten or so tech staff and that was the project for about four years I directed that show and so working with a cast like that annually putting on a show you get a workflow you get a community of people and you know it's a community of people so there's good and bad with that you get people who produce bags you get people who are you get bad eggs which anyone familiar with the scp community is used to but once you've been in enough communities once you've worked with enough people you realize you can't get brought down every time you encounter a bad egg you just got to get rid of the bad egg and then keep moving forward it sucks when bad people show up in a community but sometimes they can be saved and sometimes they got to be excised like a tumor it's not the tumor but with that in mind we keep building a group of competent artists and those competent artists will continue to grow as they practice and work with us and you know some of them they may go off and do their own thing maybe they don't stay with scp forever but if we have a good little film studio that can just keep working with new people building new projects building the ranks of our team so that the things we work on improve I mean marble hard marble hornets started with nothing cane pixels is starting with just animation and stuff all of this is small projects that if you farm them correctly you can expand and eventually you're one guy like markiplier and then you have as he likes as he said in his interviews unfathomable amounts of money and with that you can put together a giant three movies worth choose your own adventure project like in space with markiplier or I think he just announced he's working on a feature film and so it's time for scp to come together and do that I do not think I am the best best best person in the world for the job I don't think I'm an expert I don't think I'm much more than a loud-ass guy who keeps trying to do this but I see the crew we have and I know if we keep trying and we keep building the audience and we keep building the staff I'm at least gonna keep trying to do it and so well I may not be the perfect guy for the job I am the guy who's gonna try and do the job and that's better than not having a guy who's trying to do the job and hell we went from seven years getting 90,000 subscribers on YouTube actually we did five years to get 9,000 and then when tiktok blew up and data got us a million within the first year now 3 million in three years that brought YouTube up to 30,000 50,000 70,000 9000 or 90,000 took us seven eight years and then we innovated again synth has been moving the tiktoks over to shorts on YouTube and YouTube is pushing shorts right now I think they're chomping at the bit for tiktok to get banned because that's going through another cycle in the Congress and so with tiktok on the possible chopping block again YouTube is pushing shorts and we just had 12 million YouTube views in a month technically in three weeks now those are shorts shorts pay much much much much much less than a regular video view but we had just had the X is not an scp compilation go viral as well so we just did two big viral bumps in a row which got us 60,000 subscribers in three weeks so that is why we are just over 150 now we are over 150 subscribers on YouTube and it's crazy because we have 3 million on tiktok that sounds like such a big number but YouTube it's so much harder to get seen it's so much harder to build up so we're living in a crazy world people yeah I think I'm done ranting I think I've hit the end of my spiel we talked about the past of site 42 we talked about the future the stream is held up and so until I finish this beverage we are going to sit and chat if you enjoyed this then make sure you like share and subscribe all of our YouTube and tiktok videos follow on Twitter the bigger we make site 42 the more influence it has and the closer we get to our movies and our shows how did I get into scp I don't actually remember it's anomalous I can't remember how I got into scp I was using it as a monster supply for Dungeons & Dragons in 2014 but I don't know how I found it it's weird I've been amnesticized any other questions in the chat undead muffin my friend good to see you and thank you for the congratulations we're making our way up top the classic question favorite scp's I have what I like to call six favorite scp's that aren't mine obviously if you go to link in description my author page is there you can read mine but I always say 3043 Murphy law 3999 I am at the center of everything that happens to me 008-J Jeff 5175 death knife 5031 yet another murder monster and I think it's 5032 or 5023 which is the long fish that just goes on forever there is the idea of an on-site and off-site fandom which one do you believe your content caters mostly to excellent question so I try my best to do a balance because you need for the for the animation channels especially the content farms they only cater to the off-site they cater to they basically cater to children and they scp shouldn't really be for kids it's a horror fandom that's something I mean when do kids watch nightmare on Elm Street for instance when did they get into horror with adults being responsible and stuff like that that's one question but what guts me and the thing I try to avoid my content even though you can't avoid it completely is that they don't try and raise the bar they do the same thing over and over and over again and my problem with that is not that in and of itself when you find a niche that works and you do it that's good and otherwise I'd have a problem with Vulcan and Sumerian and reading channels like them and I don't I think that is great the work they do but I think that the reading channels are limited in resources whereas the animation channels aren't because they're all big companies who are doing x y and z or I can't say all but I can say most and because of that they are just coming into use scp for money but they don't want to contribute to scp they don't want to improve scp for me I use like let's say the X is not in scp show that is a just like map hat and all of other YouTube that is a blatant attempt at me to farm views off of whatever fandom is popular at the time siren head is popular make a siren head is not an scp video that's just good business I can't argue with that that's how you got to make money and get paid just like can't argue with creators taking sponsors I take sponsors when I can because as a creator there's not a lot of ways to make money so you got to do what you got to do but but as much as you can focus on offsite and hopefully not children as you should be focusing on making good content making your content as good as it can be rather than turning out the bare minimum working on improving your craft as best you can through effects through visuals through audio telling better stories if you make stories and that's why I make an effort to interact with the onsite community because the onsite community they are the creators of scp I've written scps but minor like mediocre at best I'm a jack of all trades master or none and that means everything I have is mid with that in mind their scp authors that I am working with getting into working with these film teams that way these film teams are coming in with camera equipment know how of making film but then the stories they tell are just kind of okay sometimes and with the storytellers and the creators if we can put it all together we can make something huge and very good eventually I want to see my favorite idea for an scp series this one if I get my infinite money unfathomable money then this is what I'm gonna make is I'm gonna make the scp version of warehouse 13 I want two or three agents who travel the country finding anomalies and containing them I want them to encounter anomalies I want them to encounter groups of interest I want them to have to say get an anomaly out of a town before the GOC blows up the town to destroy the anomaly and you have 48 hours to get that thing out of there I want one of the agents to have a love story with a citizen in the town during the episode but then that person is affected by the anomaly and the only way to save their life is to amnesticize them so the agent can't stay with them it's like there's so many good stories from that yes visiting the infinite Ikea although if we got big enough to make it a show we probably have to do an off-brand because they did just sue that game dev Ikea sued them to stop making that game so big oof for people just getting into scp the best thing you can do is just just keep consuming you need to read stories from the wiki as well as watch the content creators the content creators are nice because we kind of curate what we like I don't read any stories that don't that I don't like if I don't like the story I won't read it on the channel so you're getting kind of a I read it and so now I'll pass it on to you when you watch content creators most of the time and then when you go on the wiki proper that's where you start to get the real meat of scp and so make sure to check from each generation go through series one series two series three series four and make sure you're reading a little bit of everything because you want to know what's on the beginning and you want to know what's at the end if you want to make friends with the on-site community make sure you're following what's new because they're the ones writing it and the way that the site evolves is based on the users who write the stories so make sure that you are paying attention to that that I see a question about content creation in here that was just inspiring you to make scp content wonderful I love that for you I am very proud of the site 42 tick tock platform being as large as it is because there are a lot of people who never heard of scp and a lot of creators who never heard of scp and now that they've been exposed to it they're making content for it whether it's tick tock videos whether they're getting into it and reading the stories it's spreading the influence and it's spreading the author's work and so I believe in the project and I want to help the project and its creators the best I can would you have a party with me and oh nine six well if he has the bag on his head then maybe but I don't feel like he's a very proper tea party guest not very talkative you see and since it's a social engagement I mean you could but I don't think you'd have the best time do do do I support other creators like scp explained story and animated so I want to do a video in the future where I do a joke ranking of scp creators uh like radigar doing uh scp content creators I could kidnap with my van I go watch radigar's content but especially the kidnapping video it's so funny so funny but yeah every content creator has a grading of this is what I think of their content objectively do I think their audio is good do I think their acting is good do I think their social media sharing pardon so that they get seen is good do I think they their goals are good do I think their morals are good do I think they're doing right by the community so it when it comes to the animation channels my problem is when they're doing the bare minimum when they're not trying to expand what scp can be when they're just kind of like bottom feeding and a little grumpy because they're so much bigger and so much more wealthy than us and if we had those resources we'd be doing a lot more with them I think but some are better than others uh for instance even though I don't like either I would say that I prefer explained over detective void and or the rubber but that's not a high bar for them I vastly prefer samarian vulgan uh agent maxwell scp unredacted trying to take up game development and when like ideas for some sort of story-based scp game so there's a lot of good scp game ideas out there I'm working with a couple teams on a couple of them so I don't want to share those in case they end up getting made but the biggest thing I want to see that I know isn't being worked on right now is I want to see a character driven rpg in the foundation verse something similar in like the earthbound undertale vein where it's an adventure in the foundation you'll deal with anomalies you'll deal with staff members but it's the characters it's the characters that is what's missing from the games I'm tired of I'm tired of shoot them ups man at least containment breaches more like exploratory I got this uh I got this anomaly fluid anomalous fluid from my good friend johnny walker can you kill 096 I mean it's been done in some cannons it's not been done in some others I'd say it's a 50-50 shot do I think about 049 well he did make my character canon so that is uh Dr Sherman's canon initially because of being featured in scp 096 so that's fun but I think the guy's a bastard he killed my friend Raymond it's pretty rude pen down pen down shake shake shake shake shake I have not read Minneapolis burns on the wiki I don't know what that is it's such an interesting thing with how many stories there are on the wiki there's like 15 000 pages between tales and articles on just the american language wiki and because of that so many people's favorite stories are stuff I've never heard of and because of my reading like 700 stories for this channel and many more for tiktok I've seen like not even 10 percent of what the wiki has on there and then you get to the foreign language wikis which gosh there's so much content I do not know what the great lake of memories is that's another concept that I'm unfamiliar with also now that inside job is canceled we need an scp version of inside job I'm just saying it was right there can't believe they canceled inside job rage absolute rage all right I believe that this is the last sip of this beverage second to last sip so let's start our closing we are going to move forward in 2023 and 2024 we're going to continue to build the site 42 staff we're going to continue to improve the content we make we're going to continue to reach out to other content creators in the film game space and we're going to reach out to other communities to absorb them into scp this would be fun if you made it to the end of the stream you get to hear my fun ideas for new site 42 content I have show ideas and so this is if you made it this far you get to hear as closing my new show ideas so as we improve the tech of site 42 and as we improve getting me to quit my day job so I have extra time and working on getting more cast so we can streamline the workflow of these projects I have one two three four five six different show ideas that I want to put forth and pardon the reason I point this out is because if someone can do these before I do and they can do them well take them anybody can use these ideas if they can do them well because in the scp community if I can't do it I just want it to get done so someone can go on there and take that so the x is not in scp I want to do season two we just did such a good job with that compilation it went super viral so if we get into doing more x is not in scp the comments on that video alone have like a thousand suggestions so sonic the hedgehog is not in scp uh any anything is not in scp that is the beauty of that show uh next up I want to do streams now obviously my streams are terrible because my tech is bad I want to upgrade to a good desktop with a good streaming setup so that we can do maybe a weekly stream or maybe twice a week stream where for four hours we just read scp stories and talk about them in the chat because the old show we used to do interviewing the authors that's also on the docket but those shows the big problem was I never talked to the chat and so I want to do something that specifically focuses on the chat and interaction so that is what we want to work on second third scp Wyatt has been putting out those scp shower thought videos and I've been reacting them to them on tiktok but what I need to do is work with synth and put together a good reaction video here for youtube where you listen to the question you answer it not like a tiktok duet where i'm talking over him so that would be a very fun idea he has dozens of those videos and so doing those but proper reactions would be fun and they're interesting because as a writer as a creator what i'm doing is basically improv he asks a question I go yes okay to the best of my ability this is how that would work now sometimes I do have to say that's absolutely wrong if it's like a question with an answer but then I have to do the research to know the answer so either way we're covering a lot of ground with that um I think we can do also reaction videos to different scp content we uh we could react to the scp 096 short film we can react to ethan royalties dollhouse and overlord and such like that we can react to confinement episodes and that could be a fun thing to do for site 42 building content we can do I want to bring back scp declassified as a show on my channel we all know scpd is the discord server everyone hangs out but what I mean is what they originally were was writing explanations of scp's and back in the day we had these scp declassified show on the channel we had the same name it's just because that's a really good name for explaining scp and it's where I like declassified the scarlet king declassified doctor wondertainment or specific scp's and you have to do research on all the lore and all the different stories tagged with that entity to have a pretty good idea of what you're going to say and so with that in mind I like the idea of bringing back scp declassified and then finally I wanted to do that ranking video on scp creators and make some jokes and stuff and the ranking part is not as important as it gives me an excuse to talk about everyone that way everyone gets seen because especially now that my channel has more than a hundred thousand all I want to do is just make sure everyone around gets lifted up as well because then the more people we have with the more resources the better the content we're going to get at the end of the day the site 42 project is about building up myself and other creators so that we have the research resources to make the best scp films games and other content that we can that's our mission statement that is what we're going to proceed to do working with other creators working with the scp community and of course with you guys the fans that is the power that helps us do this we are nothing without the resources of hundreds of thousands of people willing to amplify our voices if you think about actors if you think about content creators we are like the gnomes in gravity falls the gnomes form into a voltron and the content creators at the top of it and so you give that content creator power I want to help other content creators have that power and I want us to be able to all use that power for freaking epic scp films shows games and capital C content and with that in mind here's a toast to you tiktok to you youtube to you silver play button secure contain protect fam this has been another anomalous broadcast from site 42 let's look forward to our gold play button everybody
