A Youtube Channel Called Reel Robots
So what is next? As some of you know I've been throwing around the idea of a robotics Youtube channel. The notion of giving back my knowledge to the community via YouTube is intriguing. At the very least, the channel will result in a repository of videos showing current robot technology, 3D tools, and how I to use them to build robots. The channel also allow me to explore the hundreds of robot ideas in my head. Every robot build will consist of several episodes to complete (approx 6 to 8 episodes) and will be released bi-monthly. The channel will be rebranded as "REEL ROBOTS" ("REEL" as in a movie reel, as most of my robots, will look as though they stepped out of a movie) and will launch in May 2020. Robots are expensive to build as you all know, and support will be paramount. The success of this endeavor will in part be by interest, viewer participation, sponsors, merch, affiliate links, and Patreon members. If you are not yet a subscriber, please stop by my YouTube channel and subscribe its free! .
All the best,
Will
Thanks DJ, glad you enjoyed the process!
Thinking about this fella in 2021. Here he is in Zbrush. Upper body would animated with side to side hip movement....total animated prop build. What ya'll think? (7 foot 3 inches (221 CM)! Its a ton of filament...looking for a filament sponsor for this one..lol!
OMG!!! That would be awesome!! I wish I had the time to do a project like this!!! I am sure, your channel will grow exponentially on this build!!!
Is YouTube handling the Copyrights on Disney material for you? Or is it not applying for one of a kind build?
And why dont you put some nice little ZBrush related tutorials to a dedicated playlist...like "New Features In Version 2021" or "How To Move, Scale And Rotate In ZBrush 2021", "Quick Tip On Showing The Wireframe In Zrush 2021"? This type of content is fast and easy to produce and will generate a lot of views and a constant feed, which the YouTube algorithm likes!
Since it is one of your most used tools for creative output, it would also make sense as a complementary playlist in tandem with those projects!
Absolutely on my to-do list! Pixologic said they would promote any videos I make. Funny thing is my most successful video was the review of the 3D Printer! It has like 6400 views and 500 hours of watch time! lol. Killing myself making robots and youtube viewers want reviews of products..go figure. So Zbrush tutorials would prolly explode on my channel.
As far as I know Disney doesn't seem to care as long as you are not selling them...and even then they don't care if you are a small guy making a few ....many things on Etsy that are from Mandalorian, armor, the child etc.
Next episode is out.....enjoy!
I love the disclosure. I almost fell out of my chair. I REALLY enjoy your productions. Thanks for the enjoyable vid.

Your design skills are absolutely incredible! Is that really your workshop or is it a studio reserved exclusively for your videos? No one could possibly have a functional workshop that looks so pristine.
Wow that turned out great! What a clean installation, Will.
I second what Nink said - your workshop is way too clean lol
