Episode 21: Consensual B&E

Hotline Bling

In this episode, we dive into our current projects and filming techniques. We chat about our week, upcoming plans, and the challenges of filming outdoor projects. We also mention other DIY creators we admire, like DIY Danny. We share our filming setups, including the use of sliders and drones, and discuss the importance of capturing different perspectives and using manual focus for close-up shots.

Mike Coffey talks about the benefits of storyboarding videos and using a physical storyboard to plan content. He explains how he organizes ideas, thumbnails, and talking points, helping to create more engaging videos. Mike also emphasizes the importance of compelling thumbnails and titles for YouTube videos, planning them in advance to ensure they are eye-catching.

We also cover Mike’s experience with Patreon and how he uses it to offer valuable content and engage with the community. We discuss the value of building a strong community on Patreon, dealing with negative comments on social media, and creating fun and interactive chats for patrons. Additionally, we talk about the idea of creating a trophy for the best dad joke and our upcoming episode with The Piney's.
