The Truth About Youtube Videos (On A Budget)

- June 19th, 2011 at 11:57 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

Youtubers are a very resourceful bunch. An actual budget for materials and special effects is rare when I’m making videos. This is because when I put money into a project, the cash is usually being gently siphoned out of what was previously the grocery bills.

So in order to avoid eating canned nuts and Ramen for a month, we tend to figure out little tricks to make the video LOOK decently shot while only using ordinary household items. Here’s how it works:

60SR: Breaking Dawn Trailer Reaction

- June 14th, 2011 at 2:42 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

Listen friend: let me talk to you about attention spans.

A) I don’t have them

B) You don’t have them

C)

That’s the idea behind my new webshow, The 60SR: Random news, Reviews, Recaps and Rants, cut into a 60 Second video. Your panda videos will barely notice you were gone.

If you click that subscribe button you’ll be able to see all the new shows as soon as they’re up. Also, you’ll have a higher chance of being able to shout FIRST!, therefore making you King Of The Internets.

The Emo Buffalo (And Other Montreal Photos)

- June 1st, 2011 at 4:41 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

Last week, I took a vacation to Montreal, Canada (as I oh-so-often do) after finishing the revisions on my Secret Project.

While there and desperate for anything to do other than what I’d done for the past 2 months (writing) we went to La Ronde, saw an amusing but intensely depressing movie, saw another movie, interrupted that movie for another movie, and even went on a safari with some Youtubers (RIPfilms and SongPidgeon). The girl in the portraits is the famous Ilana Zackon.

Obviously, I love taking photos when I travel. Now, you too can experience the joy of a 50mm f1.8 lens.

(The week away made all my work pile up — a vlog of the trip is coming soon!)

Haters Pay My Bills

- May 15th, 2011 at 3:49 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

If you have ever visited that hallowed space on the internet known as Youtube.com, you’re likely accustomed to seeing comments like this:

The fact that human beings can actually reach out and connect with one another, from various places all around the world, is genuinely heart-warming. In light of all the negative publicity the human race has received due to wars and corruption and crooked corporate doings, it’s such a sweet reminder of the fact that we are all united in this journey of life together.

Wait a moment.

Oh.

My.

Mistake.

That’s more like it.

People ask me how I deal with bad reviews of my books. The fact is, I rarely even notice bad reviews. The relentless criticism I’ve received on a daily basis over YouTube for two years has hardened me against any criticism I receive, professional or otherwise. Sometimes, critics are merely trolls who can spell correctly.

Unfortunately for online haters, the fact is that for every hate comment I receive, my videos and blog posts only get more and more exposure, more and more hits, and more and more views on my ads. So essentially, these haters are helping pay my bills.

To celebrate these trollish individuals automatically pwning themselves, District Lines and I are making some shirts (what better way to celebrate something than a shirt?)

PRE-ORDER THIS SHIRT HERE

You can pre-order these new shirts NOW! The first 5 people who pre-order a Haters Pay My Bills shirt will receive a SIGNED Bran Hambric book, and the 10 people after that will get signed Bran Hambric posters.

Meanwhile, here’s a free desktop wallpaper. PEOPLE LOVE DESKTOP WALLPAPERS:

Hope you enjoy the new shirt and showing off your anti-hater pride.

The 60SR Show [And My Robert Pattinson Video With Over 600,000 Views]

- January 23rd, 2011 at 1:30 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

If you’re a subscriber of my Youtube channel, then you’ve likely already noticed that I started a new show!

The 60SR is a new webshow featuring top entertainment stories told in 60 seconds or less. The show covers popular news and viral videos, as well as fandom updates for The Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter, and more.

In 2010, the second video in the series (Robert Pattinson In Spiderman 4) virally reached over 600,000+ views (!!!) even though it was much shorter (how could I survive only talking for 40 seconds back then?). The other videos have been some of my most responded to date. Due to the success of the show so far, I’ve decided to try these shows as a regularly scheduled feature on my channel.

Be sure to subscribe and be part of the show (I’m so close to 60,000 subscribers right now!). Subscribing is free and lets you know when you visit Youtube.com if I’ve post a new video:

The plan is to make a new show every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (if writing deadlines get in the way, I’ll switch to Tuesday/Thursday). These will be in addition to my regular music videos/vlogs on Saturdays/Sundays, and any breaking news updates. It’s the same type of vlogs I’ve been doing for years, organized in a sharper format. The 60SR is the 60 Second Rant, or the 60 Second Review, or the 60 Second Recap… all in one!

Here’s the video from  yesterday:
