Hey I’m Seb. I’m 16 years old. I’m probably one of the craziest people you’ll ever meet. I like to party and hang out with my friends. Signing up for YouTube was the best decision I’ve ever made. My life has changed over the past two and a half years thanks to YouTube.

Questions

Q: When did you start making videos?
A: March 26, 2008

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: 14.

Q: How do you make your videos?  Any tips to others?  Software you use?
A: I just try to be creative and original with my videos. I try to make videos people don’t expect to see. I use iMovie 09 to edit my videos.

Q: Why did you make your videos?  Any influences?
A: I was always interested in acting so when I heard about YouTube I decided to join and make videos to improve my acting. Over the years I’ve developed a passion for Film, Acting, and Photography.

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: Well I’m not famous and I’ll never be, but it took me two years to get to where I’m at now.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: The fact that your viewers are just so amazing for coming back to watch another one of your videos and leaving a comment on it.

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Haters.

I also signed a couple shirts, posters, and took a few pictures.

Q: Do you have any advice/tips for fans/people that look up to you?
A: My best advice is just be dedicated to what you’re doing. Even though if you don’t get viewers keep moving on because one day one of your videos could go viral. Also, make sure to reply back to comments, messages, and thank people for subscribing. Make friends and meet new people. Go to YouTube gatherings and meet people there. That’s my best advice.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages?
A: I do read all channel comments and video comments. I do reply back to all of them too, but messages I’ve stopped already because it’s gotten to a point where people just spam.

A: I’m double jointed and I love YouTube and everything about it.

The Future of Dillon: Changing the way viewers interact with YouTubers

By Andrew on December 5, 2010 in

Dillon announced earlier this week that he had come up with a new style for making videos.  He said he “sat down and thought about all of the different video style possibilities”.  ”There was one thing I couldn’t getting out of my head”, said Dillon, “which was interacting with the community more”.

“The basic concept of my idea is that me, and my followers can have discussions through videos. Another way the community can interact with me through this concept is that every video I will ask for discussion topics for the next video, so basically, the viewers choose what they want to see in the next video.”

By him doing this, he does not hope to gain more popularity, but “maintain a more-so tight-nit community in the viewer base I currently have”.  He said that by having his viewers interact with him, he feels like they are more involved with the making of his videos.  ”Which is great”, he said.  ”I honestly wouldn’t be the same person without all the support I’ve gotten from everyone.”

Short about you: I’m a 16 year old guy who enjoys making videos to entertain people.  I’ve been on YouTube for 4 years and fell in love with the idea of sharing my ideas with people across the world.  YouTube has opened the doors to so many different opportunities and I’ve made a lot of friends along the way.  Along with video making, I run cross country, drink lots of green tea and hope to study graphic design and film making in college. (and my best friend’s name is Taylor)

Questions

Q: When did you start making videos?
A: Hard to say, for the internet, 3 years ago. In general, I started when I was 7 or 8.

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: For youtube, I was about 12. For SlyFoxComedy, last year.

Q: How do you make your videos?  Any tips to others?  Software you use?
A: I film them with a Canon Rebel T2i (Most youtubers either have one or drool over one) and edit with Final Cut Express and Aftereffects CS5.

Q: Why did you make your videos?  Any influences?
A: To get noticed, and to entertain people. My influences are Tim and Eric from the Awesome Show.

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: I’m definitely not famous by any means, but I got to where I am now in about a year and a half.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Getting comments on my videos is the most gratifying part. Good (and plentiful) feedback is what every youtuber strives for.

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: There isn’t really a “worst thing” for me at this point in my youtube career, but I’ll definitely get back to you.

Q: If you could only subscribe to one person on YouTube, who would it be?
A: That’s a hard one, but I’d have to say… MagicHugs

A: If you ever want to be famous on a popular website, it is essential that you work very very hard. Cheating gets you nowhere.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages?
A: As I get very few comments and messages, I do read all of them. I’m sure if I got 1,000 a video rather than 50, it’d be a bit more challenging.

Q: If you have a number/letter in your username, what does it stand for?
A: I don’t.

Q: Do you have a girlfriend or is it personal?
A: I don’t have a girlfriend. It’s probably not personal.

A: Go on insane road trips. Eat food.

Q: How did you choose your username?
A: When I was in 5th grade, my friends and I wanted to start up a video production group, and my friend Sam came up with the name “Sly Fox Productions”. We’ve kept the name ever since… I don’t exactly know why, but we did.

Q: Anything else you want to tell us?
A: My favorite fruit is grapefruit.

I love making videos. Usually can only make them when I’m in a good mood and I love girls and I am interested in real love :D yay

Questions

Q: When did you start making videos?
A: June 18, 2008, 12:03 AM

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: 15

Q: How do you make your videos? Any tips to others? Software you use?
A: Recently I have been listing ideas I have throughout the day so I don’t forget them and so I have something to talk about in my videos or if I am making a skit involving multiple characters that I play, I pre-write a script before I film.  I would advise being yourself, being funny, have good video quality, learning to edit well (look up video tutorials on editing techniques) I figured out Sony Vegas Professional 9 mostly on my own because of previous skill I had learned from using the widows XP default video editor, Windows Movie Maker.

Q: Why did you make your videos? Any influences?
A: I actually loved making cartoons and I don’t really remember how I got started with those.  But I first started getting into filming myself in front of the camera when I went to Milo Academy boarding school  where they didn’t allow any Internet, TV, video games, or anything I wanted to do. On weekends they never had anything good to do, So me and my friends, out of boredom, used my webcam to film ourselves acting silly.  To try to make the video more interesting and funny, I used a similar technique of Fred on YouTube to make our voices more high-pitched.  Once I got sick of Milo, I moved back home and continued making videos and continued to really enjoy it.  In time, I began to really get into YouTube and watching and learning about how to be funny and how to edit well to keep an audiences attention.

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: I have been waiting for 2 years to get discovered and within the last month, my fame has been influenced by the mention of myself in one of Shane Dawson’s videos entitled “BOOBS ON MY HEAD?! – A VIDEO ABOUT PRESSURE”.  In addition he appeared at the end of my latest video at the time “TOO MANY UPDATES” which also got me more popular on YouTube.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: I honestly don’t consider myself that big quite yet.  I plan on going much farther, but the best thing would have to be the amazing amount of people’s lives that I can make better with my videos.  I get feedback every day about how I make their crappy day better.

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Spam

Q: If you could only subscribe to one person on YouTube, who would it be?
A: That’s a tough one…probably Onision.  My other favorite YouTubers appear on the homepage all the time so it wouldn’t be a problem keeping up with them.

Q: Do the people you see often (eg: Friends, Family, Citizens of your town…) know that you’re on YouTube/YouTube famous?
A: Some, most don’t.  People here don’t go on YouTube often enough haha.

Q: What is the best thing that has happened since being on YouTube?
A: I got to partake in a collaboration video with my favorite YouTubers ever!

Q: Do you have any advice/tips for fans/people that look up to you?
A: I personally try to think things through and do my best to bring satisfaction to myself and others for the future and present.  It’s really hard but all that thinking goes to good use in the eventually.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages?
A: YES.  However, I am a teenager and I have a life so I don’t respond to comments usually and rarely YouTube messages.  If someone is interested in doing a collab be sure to consider the fact collabs are partnerships and if you don’t keep up the pace with me, then It would be me advertising you and that’s no fun for anyone.  Not even the person I’m advertising because if you’re not funny, you will get hate and regret asking most likely.

Q: If you have a number/letter in your username, what does it stand for?
A: Comic in my old comic book character I use to draw as a child.  Fire is my favorite element and 7 is my favorite number.

Q: Do you have a girlfriend or is it personal?
A: Not as I’m typing these answers but I am usually with someone.

Q: What do you look for in girls?
A: Love

Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you’re bored?
A: Make videos and play the piano and hang with real friends.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?
A: Make videos, go to the movies, play ping-pong.

Q: What do you see yourself doing in 10-15 years?
A: I want to be a movie trailer producer.  That would be SWEET!

Q: What hair product do you use?
A: Different all the time but I usually use Pantine and Axe and Old Spice in the shower.

Q: Where do you live?
A: Grants Pass, OR

Q: Anything else you want to tell us?
A: I love you :D

Born, walked, talked, [skip ahead], video blogged, here I am :D

Questions

Q: When did you start making videos?
A: In the Summer of 2007

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: I had just turned 17.

Q: How do you make your videos?  Any tips to others?  Software you use?
A: I film with a “Canon Vixia” and edit in “Final Cut Express”. My advice to people just starting out is: Quality over quantity, audio over video, and always be true to yourself– if you’re talking about something you’re passionate about your passion will show.

Q: Why did you make your videos?  Any influences?
A: I started making videos because I was bored and had a camera! I’d seen a few things on YouTube before but hadn’t started watching anyone particularly regularly.

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: I would contend that I’m still not “famous” in the traditional sense of the word, but I started gaining subscribers as soon as I started posting videos. Growth on YouTube happens exponentially so I started out gaining somewhere in the neighborhood of ten subscribers a day where now I gain somewhere in the neighborhood of seven hundred subscribers a day. Determining, however, when I went from not being popular to being popular is a bit of a challenging task. A safe bet might be when I won the 2007 YouTube award for “Best Instructional Video”.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Knowing that a huge community of people cares about what I have to say There’s no better feeling in the world.

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: This is a really hard question to answer– I love just about everything about being a “Popular YouTuber”. I suppose if I had to choose something I’d say how busy I’ve become, but even that’s not really a bad thing. If you’re doing what you love you never work a day in your life.

Q: If you could only subscribe to one person on YouTube, who would it be?
A: Wheezywaiter.

Q: Do the people you see often (eg: Friends, Family, Citizens of your town…) know that you’re on YouTube/YouTube famous?
A: Yes. Definitely.

Q: What is the best thing that has happened since being on YouTube?
A: The community that has grown and continues to grow around my videos, commonly known as the “PogoTribe”. The PogoTribe lives at http://pogotribe.proboards.com/

Q: Do you have any advice/tips for fans/people that look up to you?
A: Don’t be afraid to fail. Fear of failure gets in the way of so much potential awesome in the world.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages? (Answer Truthfully)
A: Haha, no. I try but there’s literally not enough time in the day. The best ways to get in touch with me are through Twitter and my live shows.

Q: If you have a number/letter in your username, what does it stand for?
A: “Pogobat” is a portmanteau of “Pogo Sticking” (a hobby of mine when I made the username) and “The Aquabats” (my favorite band when I made the username).

Q: Do you have a girlfriend or is it personal?
A: I have a girlfriend. Her name is Danielle.

Q: What do you look for in girls?
A: Someone who is smart, funny, cute, motivated to succeed, and can keep me down to Earth.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you’re bored?
A: Play Rock Band. I’m a beast on Expert Guitar (If I do say so myself :p)

Q: What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?
A: I love just sitting around, talking. Board games are also pretty rad– RISK, Monopoly and Scrabble are my favorites. Did you know Scrabble was invented by a guy named “Butts”. That’s pretty neat.

Q: What do you see yourself doing in 10-15 years?
A: I have no friggin’ idea. The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard to know what things will look like even just ONE year from now. If I had to guess I’d say living on Mars.

A: August 2006

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: Just turned 13.

Q: How do you make your videos?  Any tips to others?  Software you use?
A: Canon Vixia HG20 & Final Cut Express.  Put as much work into my videos as possible until I’m happy with it.  Even one little unnoticeable change that may take an hour to edit is worth it.

Q: Why did you make your videos?  Any influences?
A: SMOSH!  I loved their videos and wanted to be like them.

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: It took me a year and a half to get 100 subscribers.  The next 2 years after that I now have 21,000.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Having the love and support of the viewers that got me to where I am now.  I’d be nothing or anywhere without them.

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “Popular YouTuber”?
A: Reputation.  I don’t like when people judge me before they know me by hearing bad things from rumors or truths.

Q: If you could only subscribe to one person on YouTube, who would it be?
A: Dan Brown. (Pogobat)

Q: Do the people you see often (eg: Friends, Family, Citizens of your town…) know that you’re on YouTube/YouTube famous?
A: Most of the people I know do know this, yes.  I used to be very shy about my videos, and never tell anyone.  I still never tell anyone, people just find out, and the difference now is that I’m completely fine with them knowing, I’m not as self conscious after making them for over 3 and a half years.

Q: What is the best thing that has happened since being on YouTube?
A: The traveling and the people.  The people are people I would of never dreamed of thinking of, amazing people, and traveling is my most favorite thing and I’ve done so many things just because of Youtube.

Q: Do you have any advice/tips for fans/people that look up to you?
A: Don’t focus on the numbers, focus on the fun.  For SO long I just wanted to be famous like Smosh.  I started forgetting the numbers, and the more fun I had making videos, the better quality they would be, and more people liked them, and now I’m where I am.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages? (Answer Truthfully)
A: I read all my emails, @ replies on twitter, and video comments each week.  Everything else (ex: myspace messages, YouTube messages) I only read a few.

Q: If you have a number/letter in your username, what does it stand for?
A: I don’t have one, but if I WERE to pick one, I would probably pick 81, because I’m a huge Lakers fan, and huge Kobe Bryant fan.  Kobe Bryant hit 81 points in a game a few years ago.  It represents achievement in doing what I love.

Q: Do you have a girlfriend or is it personal?
A: I don’t have a girlfriend right NOW, there may be somebody I’m into, but other than that, I’m single.  I’m not really one for relationships right now.

Q: What do you look for in girls?
A: Well personality is the biggest, and they have to be somewhat attractive to be honest, I can’t like someone that way if they aren’t attractive at all, but that’s pretty lenient.  They should probably be somewhat smart too.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you’re bored?
A: YouTube LOL, and play some basketball, go on skype with some friends.  Go out with friends.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?
A: Probably go to the beach, or go to a city.  Something adventurous that I don’t get to do very often.

Q: What do you see yourself doing in 10-15 years?
A: Something in Film, MAYBE YouTube?  I love YouTube and it would be amazing if it still existed at that point.
