 Hey guys, Rafael from Hardware Sugar here and instead of doing a play-through, I thought that I would do a Recap of about what it was like to be a content creator for the very first time because You know the pandemic has been a long ride and I don't have the I'm not a video Person maker like I didn't know how to edit videos. I didn't I didn't know how to Shoot videos my education is I'm a lawyer I'm a literature professor and I never took up how to do any of that junk so I Thought that I would end the year recapping all the things that I learned and how I You know started my journey. It was a bit strange I mean, let's look at like my first video, which I released October 2020 Which was a little bit more than a year ago already, but I mean you could really like you can really see the difference Here we go. This is the very first video I ever made like the very first I mean if you look at my the content that I produce now, it's so much more different like if you look at this number one the sound is horrible like the sound is absolutely horrible and Like I you know I Well number one the sound is horrible and then it's like a boring background altogether and then so like let's move on a little bit closer to like the And here this is an in essentially this is my attempt at b-roll so you can see that it's a rather shaky camera It's like it's just like essentially. It's just me on an iPhone going like like that like that Here like you can really see that I'm just trying to guess like how to go about Shooting videos for the first time and then after that editing it So yeah, this is this is my very first attempt at making a video and Also shooting it actually the thing about the thing about making content It's that at least I mean on YouTube It's you have to do an outline on like what you want to say about the video So there's a writing aspect and then after there's the editing aspect about the video So for those of us just joining us now I'm doing a recap of everything that I learned and this journey of mine to learn how to video edit and to shoot videos and This is right now. What's playing right now is the very first video I shot and there's so many things that I get really irritated looking at it Like for instance like here the bars are cut if you look at the if you look at the bottom Like the bars are cut. It's not even full screen I didn't know how to make it full screen when I put in the video when I actually put in the The game into it the game into the video itself Here I'm talking about how the mouse the Corsair harpoon mouse has a really bad Grip because it's so tiny So yeah, this is the first ever video I ever shot and edited Actually, you know to be honest. Oh You know what the funny thing about this video is the major complaint that I got from this video is that I Can't I talked really really slow like Like people complain that they needed to speed up the audio Because they couldn't stand how low I was talking like here. I can I'll just Play a little bit Which seems basic Like even this even this desk setup is Different now, I don't have that keyboard anymore. I don't have that mouse. Hell. I don't even have that I may monitor is different now As a first video, it's not bad. However, I've come so far like let's check out the next video That I got I got a little bit creative with this video which came a bit afterwards This is I did a bit. I did a video review on a blue tooth speaker Bluetooth and a blue broadcaster and Yeah, I'm really proud of the way that the B-roll has really My volume down so here as you can see the lighting for the a-roll is a lot better here And by the way, what I'm using to shoot this is just my S21 Ultra cell phone Right now. Actually even the unboxing is greatly improved here. It I valiant happy new year The I mean really I mean I'm looking at this now. I mean can you compare like the how I started out My previous a-roll was just so boring to look at and it was bad. It was bad lighting here As you can see that the b-rolls are now actually very Smooth in transitioning and that's really thanks to one tool. Let me pull it out and it's a it's really thanks to the DJI gimbal my gosh, man like this this is like my number one companion like it taught me so much on how to like Get really smooth shots So Like actually the interesting thing about this specific video that I that early on I think I believe I think I made this in February You can see all these videos on YouTube, but I just wanted to showcase to you My progress as a content creator doing this for my first for the first time So actually this video didn't get a lot of views because mostly because it's you know It's a Bluetooth broadcaster and I mean who really wants to know about a Bluetooth broadcaster However, I'm really impressed with the b-roll shots. I'm able to get it with I mean the lighting is a lot better And so that's really how it is you want to be able to improve on Your skills are at least me I improved on my skills with each video that I made even if The video that I was making kind of sucked like I look look at how the b-rolls is go up and down now It's not just random like I like that angle. I mean like look at that. Look at that and then so the the The it's it's just really fulfilling Seeing the transitional change in fact if you look at my original video the asus m3 mouse That was my very first video and you compare it to this one the m3 still has a lot more views because It's a it's a cheap. It's a it's a budget mouse. It's a gaming mouse. It's a much more Fascinating topic all together as opposed to a Bluetooth broadcaster, but if you ask me this is a Better video Than the m3. It's just that the topic isn't just as interesting like again the b-rolls are like dramatically different here, I'll let's just let's just go back to the b-rolls of the Bunion let's just go back to the b-rolls of my first one hold on a second I must say though. I like that house shot Okay, let's go to the asus k3. I made this video around the same time as the second video I ever made See there you have like It's you know the the point is there, but I'm a Joe choppy there we go so I Do like however that I was able to figure out You and in the kind of I Luigi Yeah, you call that that panning of the house shot was nice. It was all done with this I'm telling you man Like you don't even need to like get a fancy camera like your cell phone is It's pretty much everything you need already and a gimbal to keep the shot steady Here this is onion. This is my this this was originally this current one This is originally my most watched video, which is the asus k3 Apparently lots of people really wanted to buy this k3 keyboard after I released the video review Not a lot of people did cassette and in a review on the k3, but because the k3 is so inexpensive like 3000 pesos and then you get a you get you get so much stuff with 3000 pesos You get the mechanical keyboard with blue switches So it's a good product. I Actually like this shot with the RGB actually the thing it's very challenging to shoot with the cell phone camera in Low-light That's where onion when you get a mirrorless camera the mirrorless camera really helps in low light situations But like if you go back here, look at this It's it's very grainy. It's very grainy with if you shoot low light cell phone shots But with a mirrorless camera, let me show you what a mirrorless camera will look like in a low light. I Shot this one with the Fujifilm X with the Fujifilm Yeah, I know I have some oh, yeah, this is an end. This is a more recent. This is a Mejo expert ish kind of a video now Hi Christopher da jay da jay Happy new year. I mean I'm trying to look for a night shot. I on and that's gonna look at that That is a lot better. I know I have more night shots and Well there it's definitely not green. This is pretty much a night shot that this is onion This is taken with a Mirrorless camera as you can see the differences are very onion very I mean like this is actually my very first ever 4k Video shoot ever like you can see you can really see like the wrinkles on my face here Anyway, we're running. Let's go back to my earlier videos so Let me go with The next step is oh Yeah, one of the most popular videos that you know really put me sort of on the spot Internationally was the video that I did with the S21 Ultra. I did a full review of this This was my attempt that being like at trying to become sort of like Marquez Brownlee Reviewing cell phones so far. We haven't had a lot of cell phone reviews actually the only cell phone review was this one so far and It's this was a great video because so many people from around the world actually began watching our channel because of this video Mostly because everyone wanted to know everyone wanted to watch every single cell phone review There was about the S21 Ultra when it came out in February when it came out in January so this was my this was My first attempt at doing cell phone reviews is just very different. Mind you It's very different from doing reviews on mice and keyboards because with cell phones Because with cell phones you actually have to review the hardware The software and it's not just ordinary software like the RGB of your keyboard No, you need to review the OS like because a Sam like this is a Samsung cell phone which runs Android But Samsung always has made it their thing That they want to have their own kind of mini OS and Android so But reviewing a cell phone it really requires a lot of effort. You need to look at battery So many tears actually Maybe it's because from Luigi. Maybe it's because reviews for the X and O's version wasn't really common abroad Well in the West I guess Hmm A lot of people that's true. Most of the like sick at reviewers they had They had the snapdragon version and then us poor people but the Europeans because they're the Europeans They got the X and O's so if you watch like What's his name if you watch the UK tech reviewers, they're reviewing the X and O's version But actually Well anyway overall, I think that I had a lot of fun with the camera of this Hi Mikan TV tired of practice now Paniero. I wouldn't say tired. It's more of like Yeah, maybe it's tired like Not in I feel like my creativity has been stifled with the legal profession. Oh, yeah, mr Who's the boss? Hi Pesto. Yeah, mr. Who's the boss is great. I think he had the X and O's version because If you cut I said, I think the only one who had the snapdragon version was the buddy Americans and Australia I think then everyone else had the X and O's version But yeah, you can see here that I actually this Hi, Jericho de Leon the as you can see here this this video Was one of my first videos now I had a full script and then I was just reading it in front of this this microphone the blue yeti and it was It was honestly a lot of fun. It's really it's really difficult to edit videos now Now without any a roll a roll means talking head as you can see in this video so far Well, I'm talking head though. Literally the whole video is shot with b-roll and then there is a roll audio But because there's no a roll video that means I need to make sure that every Six or eight seconds. I need to have a different kind of video footage. So this was an extremely taxing video to make but It was very helpful to put this on the spot Hi mark. Happy New Year. Thank you By the way, but by the way at the s21 old trucks camera is amazing. It's amazing Look at this. Look at the quality of this You can really make YouTube videos with just your cell phone camera really look at that 10x cop grab it Yeah, then you call that making this review was so much fun. I by the way, I didn't I was I'm not sponsored by Samsung in any way But I do really enjoy Samsung cell phones. Hi Mikan. Thank you. Happy New Year Uh Keep it together, but you know, I can't I can't just that in bed. Oh, I don't also don't want to go to I also don't like going to the courtroom only to find out that the judge decided not to come in. No offense I does who happy new year. Anyway, so like going back to the video so this probably was The first video in the beginning of the year, which I was very very very proud of See you three. You're happy new year That's what happened new year Oh, grab it and Mikan Like you go you go on in my court hearing cut up was absent see judge and then Well, I can't say because he's a judge. Yeah, I mean Don't complain. I didn't put on a good job anyway, so like This is 21 ultra video review by me was Was the first video that which I felt validated now. Holy shit No, I've only been making videos for like four or five months, but I was able to make this I Mean it was a very complete video in terms of content like there was The the writing was everything was there. You had like footage to demonstrate each feature Um Definitely it was a up in my in my game in the learning process especially it was enlightening to know that That I was that I'm learning I'm doing all sorts of shit here like Here I'm testing out directors of you Yeah, but by the way, we call we had these cassetti and the thing the cool thing about this is that I was able to Take a record of holy shit. Look at that. You can actually see the The mother bird feeding the their younglings actually they they nested in our house And then what I did was I put my cell phone the S-21 on a tripod And I left it rolling because the mom bird wouldn't go to their bait to its babies unless I was gone So anyone couldn't record you try pod Yeah, yeah, it's one of my best captures and then I'm really glad that I got I was able to shoot it for this video Review because it really brings out the quality of the camera. And so Even though I'm just talking about the S-21 Ultra here All the techniques that I learned in order to shoot for this specific review I was able to apply it to everything else afterwards and Again, this was the beginning to like this video was really the beginning of me realizing that Shit, Kai Coppola and damn I could make a really good video That's complete. Even if it was only like I've only been like trying out for like four or five months Brian Pagal, hello hardware sugar. Do you have a certain philosophy that you follow in life like stoicism? No, I don't have a specific philosophy However, what I can share is that my brother Anton and I we're the founders of hardware sugar we have a philosophy that It's best to Know a little bit of everything Rather than to be an expert in just one thing so that we really practice that like as you could see from our Education, it's my brother and I went literature for college. We taught literature in college We went to law school. We taught law school. We taught law in college. We thought we taught law Afterwards we became lawyers and after that we put up an apartment rental business. So I mean, it's very different And right now we're video editing and selling PC stuff so Brang It's very Varied and the good thing about having very varied skills is that you can do a lot of things And you can do this for instance like a lot of people who stick to just one skill They get bored and then they feel end up being trapped Which I think is what I felt like when I went into the legal profession I felt like my creativity was stifled But you know, I mean like even if I abandoned the law part Even though I ban on the law part, it doesn't mean that I can't go back to it every time There's always somebody who's asking me legal advice, you know, it's good to help friends and Every day like it's always good to be cautious You know that you know you're following the law and that you get to help people so it's it's not a wasted endeavor Mikan TV that you're still learning now. No, I don't know man Like I get a thrill I get a thrill legit legit thrill when I'm doing in-person classes because I like to I Consider the classroom as like my as like a theater stage And so I like going back and forth and then I fed recitation. Yeah, and so Socratic method back and forth conversations I don't have any patience to do zoomed classes. So after I mean after the pandemic I don't mind going back up reapplying and teaching again in my alma mater cell Not sure if I miss but does the S 21 ultra front camera have a mirroring function? If you have if you use the selfie camera for the S 21 ultra It definitely looks like it definitely has the mirror effect. Yeah, but there's no way to switch it around All right, so moving on from the S 21 ultra video I'm by the way, I'm going through the videos in chronological order like from what I learned and then how I applied It later on to the other video. So yeah, the S 21 ultra was a pretty good Review a video and really helped me move on Okay, what was the next video? Oh, sorry the question's Carl that firm ka pooba Oh, I taught and then after that I took freelance work And so I never really joined the law firm, which is onion. I should have an in Something that people really should do but the problem is because I put up a business with my brother when I was in law school So we were really kind of like We had a heavy load so it was a it was a choice between taking of expanding the business or me quitting the business and leaving it to my brother all together or And then join on a law firm So I chose to just stick with the business moon and then see where it goes and because because the law is such a Law is such a demanding profession. It really took what five years of my life four years law school then one year bar review and then I'm not because I mean, there are other people who are super passionate about the law and they get a high on it, but me As a man as a creative because I used to write in college I really wanted something new Apesto yeah, yeah, no no that it never owned the DSLR. This is it was all the videos were shot with the s21 ultra I mean like in fact, no, we've we've rarely released video I mean like I think we've only released maybe like 15 videos with the new camera Oh, by the way, this is a flay. I big I big a big a really nice of flay Okay, next moving on is ah So the s21 ultra I was super happy with that video, but look at this this Hello All right, I think we we crashed we crashed when I was moving videos on peeps. Let me get the chat back You know heat up D2 Obviously, I'm still learning here I'm duplicate. I'm trying to get the chat back docs. Am I live? I am live Okay, hold on. Hold on guys. Fuck. Where's the chat? No, we're lying chat I think it's here import duplicate docs knock ui custom browser docs Ah, anyway, sorry guys. I can't read the chat right now No, well, ah when I restarted the stream But anyway, it looks like I'm I'm live anyway, so I'll just keep on I'll just keep on talking And then let me see if I can I'll just manually pull up youtube and facebook and then maybe I can catch your chats there Let me see if I can I'll just manually pull up youtube and facebook. Maybe I can catch your chats Hold on. I got the youtube chats I mean get the facebook chats. Hold on guys Okay, all right Uh, hey jp renor, ganda ng alex jowers kaso ang mahal Yun nga yung problema Is it just me that the video? Yeah, yeah, yeah, pesto it we went dark All right. All right going back. All right. So this by the way was this Like you thought the s21 was like the shit now apparently, you know, I this I made this I told my brother, I was like, you know, what's in style right now desks and chairs So I said Anton, you know, I think it's a good idea if we do a chair view and I'm like, oh my god Like and damn, you know, when we release this chair view, you know, I This yeah, it's me assembling it Man, we got so many subs and so many fall and so many views on this chair video and and it's about a It's about uh, what it's like It's uh 3500 pesos chair and so it everyone was like, oh my god, like, you know, like people are really interested in this and um, you know, the history of this chair is that I just randomly was looking on shopee For, you know, affordable ergonomic chairs and then this looked rather interesting. So I went and got it I know I didn't get it. I messaged the company. I said, hey, would you be interested in? Yeah, that's the company there Would you be interested in lending us a chair for review and then after that we'll return it after We're done video reviewing it. So this ethan chair was our first branch off into non tech related content, but related related because it's part of the desk setup So this and I'm really happy because apparently a lot of people go to Hardware sugar to see my reviews on chairs and the thing is I really talked very passionately about chairs Because I love furniture. I really do like uh, see Anton Like he can't believe that I could talk for like 15 minutes about a chair Like he thinks that Is like maybe like two minutes, but no man. I can keep going Talking about chairs. It can be like a cheap chair Like even if it's a cheap chair like this, I can keep talking about it Like there's so many things to say so many good things so many bad things Even though it may not fascinate everyone. Oh, I could keep going about chairs I know what to talk about. I know the material and so This was a sort of relatively daring move on the part of the hardware sugar channel to start something new and It paid off. It really did pay off because There are a lot of requests about this chair and then after that I decided to make more chair reviews. In fact, I Have I haven't reviewed my and then after that I decided to make More chair I haven't reviewed my Herman Miller air on chair yet And I actually have a budget chair downstairs, which I haven't assembled that budget chair is only like Two thousand pesos, but I'm curious what it looked like after But yeah, so in the in the reason as to why I'm bringing up this specific video is because this This was the first time that I suggested to the chat to our channel that we produce something Not directly related to content to tech But a skewed something that people who like content might like And we were able to attract a lot of people and because of this single video I was now able to produce more regular content on this specific topic So there it was a leap of faith in this regard and um It's you can essentially if you really if you're really passionate about a subject Uh, you can end up just it's like people people will go to your channel If you're very knowledgeable and passionate about something and the thing is it might not even need to be something very Interesting at first like who the hell you think would care about watching chair reviews Like it's not the most important thing in the universe, right? Like really But yeah, apparently there are people who care about chairs and I apparently You hobby co about researching and sitting in chairs and How chair connoisseur like, you know, like if it was if there was like chair wine tasting at all That's me. Like I like sitting in chairs regardless and then tasting how they feel and stuff If there was like chair wine tasting Ah, hi Dazoo. Sorry. I'm looking at the chats now. You you subbed because of the chair vids. Thank you I'm glad chair views are great. Luigi. I notice my house have used them on desk setup. Yeah, that's Desk setups are totally in now. In fact, I have any and I have a desk setup video. I have two actually All right, so let's move on to the next video So after the Ethan chair, by the way, I returned this chair. I didn't we didn't get it for free I did a I did a video on the By the way, I returned this chair. I think we didn't on my budget chair. I did the ergo dynamic A ya damn, you know, this legit This is an old ass chair that this is the chair That I used immediately after I passed the bar. I think or I was studying for the bar exams Everything that I say here is totally legit which is that I'm super impressed like super duper impressed at um I'm super duper impressed at how long lasting this chair is Uh, and anyway, as you can see originally I started out with a video about You know the mouse the asus m3 mouse and here we are With complete a roll good lighting and then you know, you see more of my face As opposed to the original First video that I made for the people who are just joining us now. I'm I'm just talking about My progress as a content creator. So here check out check out my very first video again Look look at that a roll. It's horrible. It's absolutely Horrible. Okay. I mean compare that shit Which by the way, this is october 20 20 Okay, and so and then compare that to less than a year later This is the kind of stuff that I make. Let's go back to the orgo dynamic Hi, sorry guys, because apparently my computer doesn't like it so much if I keep changing the videos Sorry for the for for for that Um, I echo audio more brother. Uh, sorry Uh, yeah, yeah, let me let me kill the let me kill. I think I know what the problem was Yeah, okay. Uh, okay. And then adobo poggy. Sir. Why are you not into custom keyboard hobby because Because I revenged on Happy new year revenged on Adobo poggy the reason as to why I don't custom keyboard is because I'm not hooked yet. Okay. Like I don't have any interest in keyboard And to be honest I'm scared because if I try I think I might go down that rabbit hole and just spend shitloads of money I since I don't have the pull yet I'm gonna like Stay away first because there's so many stuff to buy. Hold on. Let's see What It's good to be alone in the house. I don't need to worry about anyone getting covid from my sneezes Jericho, you want to set it up for me? No Even like if anyone sets it up for me that it means I'm gonna try and experimenting with it. I don't At least not for now. I've ever just someone make it for Anton. Anyway, so I was talking about apparently I realized that the stream will shut down every time that I See mark polo mode commented rocky. Is that an old video? You look like a lawyer trying to sell keyboards to people. Yes. It's an old video. It's my very first video See mark. See attorney mark. Uh, we were schoolmates in law school together But yeah, so like you could really see It drew kind of weird there. I'm still trying to figure things out here Anyway, let's go back to the ergo dynamic like just compare that kind of The kind of content I was producing and then compare this Like damn man, this had like this had like music It had um had good b-roll. Look at that. Look at the look at that transition Man, look at that. Look at that. Like, you know, you couldn't and then I got good a roll here Compare that a roll. I'm sorry. I'm just a I'm that confident dude here And then you switch to b-roll Very different very different. This was only this took like what? Like I think this was released five or six months later But you can really see a dramatic difference in the way I make stuff here Uh, what do you call it Revin Johnny? I don't actually if you check out the If you check out and then I think the latest hardware sugar posts, I know Anton Like he delivered something recently to a customer Uh, Brandon, what's up? Buy a board buy switch buy keycap buy a new board buy another. Yeah, you see see JP. That's the thing It's a it's a horrible thing to keep going. I mean like oh My my rabbit hole is lighting. Mejo I overspent money on philips hue lights like and that's expensive So, uh recap so here. I mean here. I am showing off the chair Like I realized now, okay Like the good b-roll shots for a chair should be like the armrests You zoomed in part and then I felt looking at the mesh material. I like how I mean I decided to just like In and out that way you can see that it's mesh no my butas butas And then here I'm talking about the cooling the cooling benefits of mesh in general And uh here I'm talking about now. Don't ever get Leatherette chairs because it'll peel it'll peel because I mean when you sweat or even if you don't sweat There's always some form of oil and then after that that will rupture the The leatherette again, you know, this has nothing to do with pc building But it's related content and it was something that I I'd like to think that I'm uniquely qualified for it because I think I'm the only one in the hardware sugar team Who really cares about furniture? Uh, and I it's not like I have like I sell furniture. We don't even sell furniture I just like really like furniture, but I'm showing this video because It's it's me owning. It's me owning the video meaning I am well aware that I'm a master in the topic and it's unique to me Number two, I know the kind of shots that I can I'm capable of doing like just now I have a tripod before when I started out. Well, I'm trying to call And here I am demonstrating doing some funny shit and how important is to level the height And the best part about this ergonodynamic video is I had b-roll of the other chairs And so every time I made a video I keep all that b-roll because when I make another video I might need to borrow it So actually all the videos I ever made There is sufficient b-roll for whatever purpose or reason So actually, I've I've borrowed a lot of b-roll for this for other videos simply because to demonstrate the ergonomics kind of how a Of how to make sure that your chair should be leveled so that I like the shots here because they really do demonstrate the importance of Of what you call it of Of comfort for a chair and therefore these are the kind of things you should look for a chair like even if I zoomed in here and stuff So, yeah, this is Sanyin The camera angles here are really dramatically improved Pesto, I you always thought that mesh material supporting your back would break easily I could see why yeah, I could see why because essentially people might think that It's like a fishing net, right? I mean like I mean like how durable is a fishing net, but actually in truth They're actually quite durable like I think mesh really should be the default for a quality office chair Oh revanjan. Yeah, okay. You saw that from Anton Okay, that's good to know So Yeah, man like look at this like I'm really like I'm really owning it here Of course, this is also the first time in which people began to comment on how I'm getting bold And so like I had to get used to I had to get used to people calling me like Pinoy or like And then yeah, it's kind of irritating, but you know, I figured that's that's part of the profession Then but also by the way, uh stop calling me pinoy because you know what I mean I mean and president is an unimpilipinas that and in rest in peace, you know, let him be let him be You can make fun of my hair. Just don't call me after someone who passed away already But yeah, um Yeah, I'm really proud of this video like Really came came very far At least for all my videos Um, they're all completely shot scripted Edited by me. Uh, some of the videos that anton shoots he does it But sometimes it's by any and other people from our team But for me for the most part, I like to make my own content because really editing by yourself You'll really learn all sorts of things camera angles um Color lighting Hell look at this I mean after that patience dude patience like So much b-roll to go through in order to get the proper shots for whatever scene And then I said, there's the a-roll. You know the a-roll I can't do a-roll without the teleprompter and I believe if rocky the programmer is watching this He would also agree Nagrabe Teleprompter is love Uh, if me can't even ha uncalled for comments foul Ah Uh, we have a lot of comments in the book then the chair Ah, in fairness, no, no, no, most dramatically lots of people were commenting about the chair But it there was a form of consistency with respect to my My hair actually the thing is it's actually kind of irritating with respect to my hair because I'm younger than my Than Anton. I'm only like 33. Hell my dad who is like 70 has more hair than me Okay, so I don't know man like It's not like I asked for to lose my hair, but the same time I have a girlfriend. I'm very in a happy happy relationship. I learned all these skills has to do with my hair And uh, yeah, I can live with it. Like I'm trying to Yeah, I'm trying to live with it. In fact, I think I lost more hair during the pandemic But hell, you know, I don't want to shy away from the camera just because I'm losing hair Hell, you know Vin Diesel has no hair. Who has that the rock Johnson has no hair. So yeah, maybe I just need to buff up Uh, was there a video where Anton fell from a chair you're reviewing? Yes Um, I believe that he collapsed With the charcoon chair, which let me let me pull out I it might by the way the this this might crash Again, but uh, hell, you know, I'll I'll pull it back up Yeah, okay. So the interesting thing about the charcoon chair review is this was the second chair review that I ever made and interesting enough It wasn't popular like no one watched it. I was like, holy shit. I thought I thought kong chair review everyone will watch it It's not like that. Like apparently Kennecky see hair is overrated. Thanks, man Thanks, brother. Thanks Anyway about the about the charcoon chair after I did the chair review the Ethan chair review I was like, okay, bust a chair Everyone watch it and the best part is um Fujifilm Philippines lent us, uh, the xs 10 mirrorless camera So I took advantage of it. So some b-roll was shot with the xs 10 and it's really nice smooth b-roll of the chair Like this. This is already this is the mirrorless camera This is my s21 ultrapa uh, but the interesting thing is that No one really watched this chair review and I was I don't understand The editing is a lot better than the Ethan But the reason as to why no one watched it is because number one Panang um I believe The chair is expensive because it was like I think at the time this was 18,500 pesos And then as compared to the Ethan chair, which was like three five So definitely it was the content which was the problem This is was too expensive and not fascinating enough for people to click in to watch So not all chair reviews even if it is a detailed chair review because by the way This was a this was a more detailed chair review than I ever did with respect to chairs as opposed to the Ethan But you know the price was too high and maybe people weren't familiar with charcoon enough I don't know but Yeah, I learned the hard lesson that here look even if the camera footage is great If your content is not interesting no one will watch And so I took that lesson to heart Keneke your hairline is receding. So I feel you sir. Yeah, you know, you just go with it, man I mean, I'm not gonna I mean, you know, it's good to have hair if you don't have hair What I don't got green more You're gonna commit suicide because you have no hair or you're not gonna appear in camera anymore. What the hell with that? I'll own it, man. Oh Anyway, so yeah here what I learned here was Even if you have a fancy camera If your content is not fascinating enough no one will care So in short if you want to start youtube Just start Okay, just start don't give the excuse of There guys Like I'm actually gonna make a video right now about my favorite youtubers who have like a million subs And they're just using a cell phone camera. So yeah, I'm sure in a charcoon video because Definitely has better b-roll But Yeah, no one watched it So, yeah, that's what I learned not every not all chair views will be any interesting Another thing that I learned about Asya, let's do one. You can see Once the next video we'll look at. Oh, yeah, I thought I like this All right. This was my man cave video. This was completely shot on the s21 will shot No mirrorless camera or nothing. It's all cell phone camera. And When I shot this God this this took like maybe like two or three weeks of just me working on this every day until I finally got it I had this I had a long-ass script here. I'm talking about my room And this is sort of like a branch to my furniture love because I like furniture I also like about I also like room design And so you see a little bit more about my character and personality here and What my what I learned from making this video is the importance of lighting And the importance of what to show the viewer at a specific time like here I was able to transition from day and night and it almost looked like it came from the same angle So those small camera techniques Uh, also what what in what kind of bothered me with this video was You know, I was showing our house and so I felt like oof, you know, like I'm uncomfortable. But same time because if you're a content creator Uh, you should also own what you have what assets you have And so, uh, I felt uncomfortable doing this video because it felt like I'm showing off the house But to be honest This house was a nightmare to create like, uh, I helped my parents build this house during the pandemic And my gosh, man Have you ever built a house during the pandemic where prices go up and then no there was worker shortage and shit? It's a never-ending nightmare. So I'm pretty proud of the work I put into this house I this I I chose the paint I chose that I chose to Repurpose the wood I chose an end to make I chose the glass supplier and then I followed up and shit. So like grab it Anyway, so I made this video and the other things I learned were Yeah, let's play with lighting. Let's do this. Let's do that And let's have a good script which organizes everything. I really wanted to show off Um, how I have a free garden like this is not even my garden It's the garden of the village And so I feel like I get a freebie every time that I look outside my window And I don't even need to take care of those plants and trees. It's someone else's Pesto, you're wondering if Ikea would lend you their gaming chair. Actually, you know, I'm actually planning to Ask Ikea if they could send this over for a review Uh, so let me see. I think I believe I talked about I I here I talked about The aircon. So, how would you call that? I think I should uh I hear uh This was uh, you know, I'm talking about chairs I think at this point I'm talking about sofas. I'm talking about my lounge chair and stuff like that Uh, yeah, I mean like this this was a fun video And I learned so much from this even and it got it got a lot of views However, it didn't get as many views as like my chair videos So what I learned from the month from this is I mean, obviously it's a house. It's a nice looking house But even if the con even if the even if you know, it's it looks expensive or it looks grand That does not guarantee people will watch your videos Again, people cared more about the ethan chair of 2500 pesos more than this video which showcases all this smooth b-roll and so really it goes down to Content is king and you need to understand the Who you're making content for I'm not saying that everyone hardware sugar are like cheap posts because to be honest I would mind buying a chair. It's 2500 pesos also and really I'm expensive and even with my shark with that in with the see who chair of 8500 Well, actually no not really. I think it's a very well priced chair, but uh, yeah, I mean um You know our job Is to one enjoy ourselves number two to create content Which is relevant to the people who watch us and really I don't mind actually making content about chairs Which aren't inexpensive and I'm gonna try and go for more chairs which are on the mid-range level All right guys, uh, I'm gonna call it wraps for today because I have some new years I have some new year plans and I just wanted to say Happy new years to everyone and thank you so much for supporting the hardware sugar channel both, you know the store Following us on youtube and facebook That means a lot to us, especially now during the pandemic now.
