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 with your friends?

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

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: 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.

Hey whats up? My name is Nate.

I was accepted to the New York Conservatory School of Acting for Film and Television which is HUGE because they only accept 180 people in the country per year! I planned on going there but auditioned for a feature film being filmed in Denver and i got a small role! We start filming the movie in February 2009 and i can’t wait! After the Movie is done being filmed I will go to the New York Conservatory for the summer and then depending on how that goes I plan on moving to LA after the summer. Acting just took off for me as I have only been doing it for about a year and a half now. I’m thinking its a sign that i should stick to it.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “popular youtuber”?
A: The best thing about it is when someone is having a bad day or rough time they go to my videos and watch them and they feel a lot better. they laugh again and are happy. nothing makes me happier than someone saying they had a bad day and turned on my videos and felt better. best feeling in the world.

Q: How old were you when you started making your videos?
A: I had just turned 12.

Q: Why did you make your videos? Any influences?
A: Well, my dad was the one who introduced me to Youtube, and I thank him for that! As far as later videos (my old ones really sucked, like most people’s first videos), my inspirations were/are livelavalive, KassemG, wastetimechasingcars, supermac18, and grocerybagdottv, among LOTS of others. And I’ve always had a sort of rivalry with smosh

Q: How long did it take you to become “famous” or get a lot of views/subscribers?
A: A LONG FREAKING TIME. Haha just kidding, but it’s kind of true. Besides being on MyCollab about a week before writing this (that got me hundreds of subscribers), my semi-popularity was a slow climb. It was literally a gradual increase over three or four years.

Q: What is the best thing about being a “popular youtuber”?
A: Cliche answer: The good comments, “fan” mail, and being part of a community. Blunt answer: Getting money from making videos (but the three things above are true too, I swear!)

Q: What is the worst thing about being a “popular youtuber”?
A: Feeling bad when I don’t make a video for more than a week. It’s especially hard when you have your main account, a drumming account, a side account, and a collab channel.

Q: If you could only subscribe to one person on youtube, who would it be?
A: Ahh that’s a really hard question. Livelavalive, I guess…he’s my main inspiration. But I’ll admit, his videos aren’t that funny to me, they’re just really cool and inspirational.

Q: Do the people you see often (eg: Friends, Family, Citizens of your town..) know that your on youtube/youtube famous?
A: They wouldn’t call it famous (neither would I, really), but most of them know about my Youtube. I’ve kind of stopped telling so many people, because sometimes it’s embarrassing when they bring up one of my videos in real life. Good thing they don’t know about my Twitter (haha)

Q: What is the best thing that has happened since being on YouTube?
A: Becoming a Youtube Partner, definitely. Not only can I make $$ to get better camera stuff, but it has allowed me to become more active in the Youtube community. I don’t know how it did that, but it sure did. Also, it’s a great motivation to make good videos.

Q: What is the worst thing that has happened since being on YouTube?
A: My JVC Everio’s hard drive crashed one time, and I lost a year’s worth of videos. Back then I thought they would have turned out okay, but now I realize they probably sucked. Also, my little bro passed me in subscriber count, but don’t worry, I’ll catch up haha.

Also, making quality videos, and then being ignored view-wise. AND YOUTUBE TOOK DOWN THE FEATURE BOX! The Editors at Youtube used to hand-pick rising new videos daily, and they would basically make undiscovered people famous. Now stars like ShaneDawson and Charlestrippy are pretty much all you see on the front page.

Q: If you have a number in your username, what does it stand for?
A: I don’t. But I have a letter, “z,” which stands for Zach.

A: Indie pop. Of Montreal, Belle and Sebastian, Matt & Kim, MGMT, The Fratellis, and The Postal Service. Also, Ratatat, The Spinto Band, The Thermals, Neutral Milk Hotel, and PK. PK is incredibly awesome because they let me use their music in my videos!

Q: What are your favorite books(book)?
A: *looks at Facebook page* Freakonomics, that’s all

Q: What is your favorite thing to do when your bored?
A: Make a video, edit a video, drum, eat, and reply to super old comments on my videos and surprise them.

Q: Do you read ALL your comments/messages?
A: Yes, I just don’t reply to them all.
