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 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?
