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
Just finally found time to watch your latest video after a busy Thanksgiving weekend. You never cease to amaze. I'm going back and watch it again! Nice work!
Well I crossed the finish line today. 4,000 hours of watched time 0r 240,000 watched minutes. I'm officially monetized! This should be the next step into other avenues of funding for the channel. Hopefully the ads wont be too distracting. Youtube gives the power to insert the locations of the ads, so I'll start adding in a "we'll be right back after these messages!" LOL, reminds me of saturday morning cartoons.
I'm also dusting off some older videos that have been hidden by not being public.
Next goal: 10,000 subs! for Merch.....i know everyone wants a drink droid tie! lol
That's awesome! congrats man! How are you enjoying the Intel T265 btw?
Oh, doesn't that mean you can have a custom URL as well for youtube? like youtube.com/Synthiam or youtube.com/DJSures
Thanks!
Ah thanks for reminding me..I'll have to look into it!! (URL)
I haven't had much time to play yet with the T265....kids home schooling, xmas lights/tree/ and I'm finishing up another video for the Zbrush stuff....hoping to get testing with it soon!
I'm so amazed at how much your doing with all these new skills! It really is amazing and cant wait to try them all out. Keep up the amazing job!
Thanks, Will! I was wondering where you've been!
Validation of all the people who actually love the software and are paying for it really helps my motivation. Who knew so many people depended on the software so much! It's great
Congratulations Will on the new funding stream. Nothing but blue skies ahead for you. Merry Christmas. This is quite a gift for you and your family.
DJ, most definitely we all depend on ARC. For me, my childhood dream would end if suddenly ARC stopped working. My Robot would literally die and turn into a statue.
Ya If there are a few negative comments about the new pay structure, I can see ,DJ never seems bothered by it ,only just keeps coming out with better new add-ons every day. AS There are way more people giving positive reviews from all over the world. Hopefully Synthiam lives long and prospers! (Shout out to Leonard Nimoy in Vulcan heaven)
I continue to make the people who believe and contribute to the ARC platform happy - after all, they’re the ones who pay the bills
