agamingcouple 28 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) What's up guys! My name's Dave and I run a small Youtube channel with my girlfriend! (hence the username) We are going to start a Standalone survival series. This being said, we know that about 80% of the DAYZ videos on Youtube are survival series episodes. So this begs the question, What do you guys want to see? I've seen so many awesome video ideas, but we need your input! Below I've compiled some video concepts that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm sure you have enjoyed as well if you have already seen them! (if not check them out) In short we want to know the following:- Which types of videos are your favorite? (Social Experiment, Cinematics, Comedy/Interaction, Hardcore Survival)- Who's Your favorite DayZ Youtuber? (Mr Moon ,Mr Blackout, Syndicate, GoldGlove)- We're doing a survival series: What would you like to see to spice it up? (Should it be Hardcore? Should we try to not KOS ever?) We would love any constructive criticism! Anything in parentheses are just examples, thanks for reading! :) Video Concepts-MR MOONS VIDEO: Jam Jar's VIDEO : Edited May 15, 2014 by agamingcouple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Element47 2480 Posted May 14, 2014 i dont really care too much for the type of game, what makes or breaks it for me is the voice and the commentary. thats why my favorite youtuber remains John 'totalbiscuit' Bain, i love listening to him no matter what he plays or comments. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agamingcouple 28 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I can attest to that. Unfortunately, I hate the sound of my own voice! Though, Natalie helps with that haha, I feel like any woman's voice is easy on the ears! Edited May 14, 2014 by agamingcouple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nexventor 429 Posted May 14, 2014 Tactical first person shoot outs. Tension, suspense, shots from out of nowhere. I might watch the odd funny one or "social experiment" but usually when it is recommended by someone. I prefer 1PP and usually subscribe straight away to 1pp as there are so few of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruullor 56 Posted May 14, 2014 I liked the second one because I like shorter vids mainly. I also like the social experiment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
101anavirn 36 Posted May 15, 2014 TBH You should be creating videos you want to do and not what other people want you to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh like Hardcore? I was thinking about giving hardcore ago, but there's so few people on the servers for the most part! D: BTW i subscribed to your channel brotha! :) Edited May 15, 2014 by agamingcouple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, I am relatively new, and I'll try anything once! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D: BTW i subscribed to your channel brotha! :) Why thank you :thumbsup: Most of vids so far I have uploaded are me playing 1PP on reg servers (I am so far behind in my editing lol) but I have finally convinced my team to go hardcore and after a week of pain and jumping back to reg they really started to enjoy it; we play that about 80% of the time now. I am always interested to hear feedback as well, so don't be afraid lol Do you have a link to your channel mate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
escobert 112 Posted May 15, 2014 I prefer funny videos but, a good shootout is fun to watch too! I watch Frankie and Green Avenger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it'll be up by tomorrow! Haha, just like you I have a LOT of footage to wade through! xP Edited May 15, 2014 by agamingcouple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His videos were the first one's I watched in order to see if DayZ was worth it! (Also, I love your profile picture! ATHF is the shit!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I watched Frankie videos back when he first started but I can't make myself watch more than 5 minutes of his dribble now. His vids are typically filled with people (often little kid screachers) fawning over him and its just sad and pathetic now. That and his content isn't all that interesting to me anymore. YMMV I primarily watch Mr. Blackout, Syndicate, PSISyndicate, Jam Jar, Mr. Moon and a few others. Whatever you do please for the love of god do not make videos like the rad brad. That guy gets on my freaking nerves and his DayZ videos were so sad with him hiding in buildings or darting in bushes when he would see people and he was always so scared to lose his gear. Just pathetic and I'm glad he stopped doing the series for people roasting him in his comments section for being a pu$$y. Make your own videos the way you like them. DO NOT MAKE SCRIPTED VIDEOS (huge turnoff). If people like your content they will subscribe or leave a like. Edited May 15, 2014 by haknslash 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may set up a scenario such as the "social experiment" video above, but what happens after the set up will be raw! lol I've never watched theradbrad really, but I watch Br Blackout religiously! lol I'm gonna post our first vid in the next couple days! I hope you stop by and give us your opinion! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Mr. Blackout is probably one of my favorites at the moment, at least for the more serious player videos. I've watched his Diary series from the beginning and his new daily Hardcore series is awesome IMHO. He has a cool voice (no homo lol) and I never would of guessed he lives in Cali but clearly from England. His content and gameplay are also good and I like his subtle editing style mixed with groovy choices of music. Jam Jar being right up there as well. I watch Syndicate and Mr. Moon vids to make my gut bust from laughing so hard. Syndicate for being just some high-strung crazy funny guy and Mr. Moon for his hilarious commentary and how he interacts with players in direct chat. "Affirmative" :D I'll keep an eye out for your vid. Best of luck in your youtube endeavors. Edited May 15, 2014 by haknslash 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, I am relatively new, and I'll try anything once! :) I do wish you and the GF the best of luck, as being a hit on youtube is hard, especially gaming. With so many people doing it. If I could give any sort of Advice, it would not to give up on it and don't stick to DayZ. Play and record a mixture of games, which I think you plan on doing anyway. Ill check them out when you make them for sure. Just send me and the rest of the community the link. If you need any help or good constructive criticism let me know... I know this doesnt count for much when it comes to making Video Game videos or maybe it does in a way but I am a Actor/Director/Writer...and like I said help or good constructive criticism, let me know.

Thank you so much sir! Natalie and I have been at it for a little over a year now, and have just recently made some serious strides in terms of viewers and what not. I'm currently editing the very first episode, and we would love constructive criticism! When it comes to you doing so much in the film industry, it counts a hell of a lot to me at least. It means you know a good production when you see one, and I hope I can have your blessing with this DayZ series! Cheers man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
