I think you're doing a great job! A great channel with enjoyable live streams covering interesting topics. Been a subscriber for maybe 5/6 months and haven't missed a video. 👍🏻
Thanks Shaun, Glad to have you here. Took a risk with this video being a little ‘off topic’ but something I wanted to get out of my system ✌🏼 I’ll be back to physical media next week.
This was a great watch and its great to see you've found so many benefits to starting YT. As someone that has been going through a bit of crisis when it came to my phsyical collecting habits, I decided I must rid of my collection entirely a few months back, which was a really rough decision to make, but Im doing so much better for it now. I've been watching your vids for the past 6 months and you have really helped me realise I had to take action against my own issues surrounding collecting, thank you! and keep the brill content flowing.
It’s a strange feeling isn’t it. Those things you held so precious for many years… once they’re gone, the feeling of the weight being lifted is quite unexpected. I’m glad my videos have been helping you with the process. Marking the videos has certainly helped me with the process when thinking out why I’ve been collecting (or hoarding). Thank you for the comment, glad you’ve found something relatable in there 🙏🏼
@@PhillwithadoubleL It really is intially, the amount of emotion and uncertainty that goes into such a decision, but like you said the feeling of weight just being lifted is such an amazing feeling, and something that surpassed the inital doubt. They really have, and thank you again, I will continue to watch everything you put out. Have a great day Phill
Glad you found me Izabela… and so happy that you liked the video Appreciate your comment. Hope you stick around to see what else is on the way. Not all content may suit your tastes but there will be more like this on the way… soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thanks for being here AJ. Feel like I took a risk putting this video out as it’s not my normal kinda topic. It’s something I wanted to do and, yep… probably add to how weirdly unique my content can be at times.
I discovered your channel several months and while you and I will never meet I find your honesty about yourself so interesting while I share your interest in Physical Media I also see something in you that is in me. anyway best regards in your life. Trevor From Australia
That’s lovely Trevor, thank you. I’m so glad you find me relatable. I want my content to remain honest as there’s so much that just doesn’t really get talked about. I hope I can continue to give you relatable content as I go along.
I love the production quality of your videos. You’re entertaining, engaging and have a passion for physical media. Physical media is a dying industry at the moment (so we are led to believe). I love owning my content so I can watch it when I want to….. in the best picture quality of course 😂 I hope we never ever see the disc format (or physical media) disappear. It will be a sad day. 😢
Thank you 🙏🏼 I love owning my content too… well, most of it. As you well know, my collecting was a little unhinged. 100 % gotta own those great movies though. Got an interview coming up soon on the channel. Couple of guys that set up a new boutique label for physical media. It’s an interesting chat.
Thanks Stephen 😊 that’s awesome to hear. Working on these videos is helping me sort my collection too, it’s weird how vocalising these things has affected how I collect and what I keep.
I've been following you for sometime now and I'm so happy to see you blossom and take flight. Please keep pushing yourself and expanding your skill level. I look forward to what's next!
Thank you Raymond. I look forward to seeing what’s next too. I’ll continue to try new things and try to take a different approach to the norm. I hope I can keep it interesting for you 🙏🏼
You're such a great youtuber Phill. I also have a big problem with buying too much media with my massive CD, DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray collection, many British tv, American series and plenty of boxsets. Keep doing what you do as it's great for the community and us film enthusiast's. A must watch channel 😀👍
The lesson I learnt from this is that always be grateful for what you do have,never sell yourself short now that you have the skills, the experience and the talent,and also that the saddest part of life is waisted talent from what I have been hearing about. Great video to learn a little more about yourself ❤👍
Bit of a different kind of video isn’t it. I’ll dip into a little bit more about myself from time to time. Obviously I’ll still be keeping my main topics (and the live streams). Just thought I’d share a little more from time to time.
Well done Phill, i enjoy your content as its just easy listening and you show good engagement with your viewers and are relatable. I used to work in the City myself so know how you feel, however you need to always appreciate what you have got. A lot of my industry has been decimated recently due to a number of factors and i was put out of work so as much as i moaned about it at the time i do miss it now a job that isnt perfect is better then no job at all.
Absolutely, fully appreciate that I have a job. The grass isn’t always greener. I do hope that I can find better balance with things. I also consider if I’m having a bit of a mid life crisis 😂 With the videos I’ve been making and looking at certain life changes… is this a crisis 🤷🏼♂️
@@PhillwithadoubleL Lol, well i am enjoying your content and videos and major kudos on the IMDB i checked it out, several recognisable ones there. You have your niche with the height and the viking type look, maybe they will get you to be the next Kevin Peter Hall (Predator). Did my first movie pickup today in a long time: Harry Brown, V For Vendetta and IT Follows by Second Sight.
Thanks Kermit, appreciated. It’s been a weird couple of week for the channel. I know this video was perhaps a little of ‘topic’ for the channel but something I wanted to do. Last weeks video (the one that is now missing) I dumped because I didn’t feel it was thought provoking or had anything much to say… so, to the bin it went. It was just a little shelf reorganisation but just didn’t feel right.
Love your channel Phill, you ask the questions and discuss the topics most, if not all collectors ask themselves. I always catch up with your live streams as well during the week. Keep up the great work and continue giving us the interesting topics we can all discuss and think about.
Glad you’re enjoying the channel. I like having topics and something to discuss. It’s more fun for me to have that interaction and differing opinions. Hope I can keep the lives interesting for you too.
I feel so blessed my office realised it could save money on heating, building rental, selling unnecessary buildings and carpark area etc. by llowing a lot more hybrid or home working where it was now possible (they'd pais out to massively upgrade the computer infrastructure during Covid so it was all in place now at no or negligible extra cost). Still below 300 and a bit frustrated (often at my ill health but also when I just _;get out of the habit'_ of regular videos) at not growing but I still enjoy my YouTubing. A lot of what you say here is very true for me too about starting and what you're saying is really interesting... the community of RUclips for me has been huge and has now included real life meet-ups and friendships. And what you say about self confidence is so true (though I still take any negatives a bit too hard, I've learned to ignore most of them, which I wasn't sure if I could when I started)
@@blujustin4175 keep going. And if you want to build it up. Perhaps take a look at the RUclips education channels like VidIQ, Creator Booth and a whole bunch of others. Lots of tips and advice for building an audience and getting your videos suggested to the right audience. Biggest thing though, don’t for yourself and because you enjoy doing it ✌🏼
I’ve been following your channel since I discovered you via Matt V’s Movies. Well done on your success so far - I think you have picked a great sub section of a popular niche that is in people heads, but very little is said about - which is at least for me what seperates your channel from the rest. 👍
I like to go against the grain every now and again. More to promote discussion and thought. I’ll continue to dig through the stuff that not too many talk about ! Glad you found me 🙌🏼
Well done Phil. I found this super inspiring. I’d love to be as brave as you and do my own channel. Utterly petrified it won’t be good enough. Your video has given me a lot to think about
@@lukemcgibney Thanks Luke 🙏🏼 the way im looking at it… every mistake or failure is a learning experience. The more I do, the more I learn. For me, at the moment. These videos are all about learning. I need to put myself out there and keep myself accountable in some way. I’m trying different things, they don’t all work but they all come with lessons. The worst that happens, people don’t watch. But… I can never say I didn’t try something new along the way. There are a bunch of things I’m prepared for and I do want to make. At the moment. This is my training ground until I feel ready to tell some other stories and feel I can do them justice… and also try to afford myself a bit of a crew and maybe some actory folks to help tell a couple of those stories.
Glad it's working out for you Phill and pleasure to be a subscriber! You and Kermit's Ghost are the better 'blu-tubers' here and don't waffle on with unnecessary bullshit! 👍 What computer spec / gear do you use for editing?
Oh I can still waffle some nonsense. I try to edit out as much rambling as possible 😂 In terms of editing. Everything I’ve done so far has been on my iPhone. I’ve got my Mac mini set up with Final Cut Pro now. My only problem at the moment is carving out the time to sit down and learn Final Cut and what it can do. At the moment I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. Doing extra courses at the day job has stolen a lot of energy but I should be through those next month and able to take some time off to knuckle down into this Final Cut learning. Cant wait to learn some new trick and trim up my videos even more.
The dumb thing is that I have like... most of the STUFF I'd need to make videos, but none of the ideas, charisma, or desire to be on camera. I mean, I have a decent gaming pc, which means a decent editing pc... I have a 64tb nas that i could store all my footage on. I have a 4k camera. Just no idea what to make the content about. I guess maybe it could be the house I just bought and am renovating, but I'm very self conscious about being on screen.
It all depends on your desire to make videos. Home renovation is a good topic, gaming PC builds can be another good topic too. You don’t have to be on screen, provided you have the decent well thought out footage and can practice your editing skills then there’s no reason you have to have your face on screen at all. Don’t doubt yourself. You could even do a video just for yourself to see how it comes out and not even post it ! If it’s something you fancy trying… why not, no one has to see it if you choose not to share !
Great video Phill. I feel the same way as you in regards to wanting to be able to do this full time. I’m in a lucky position where I enjoy my job. I’d love to hear more about how you got into acting, tips and tricks and advice for those wanting to do it themselves.
Thanks Dave, The acting type videos are on my list of things to get done. Want to do one about how I got into acting and then I can defo do a tips video for those wanting to try it for themselves.
Love the editing of the Corona news clips. Just shows these idiots governing us have less clue than us. Great humor and the message to as shia would say JUST DO IT is an important one. Only thing I would add is dont worry about numbers views etc, that will come in time. Engage with others that interest you and share an interest in whatever it may be. And have FUN. It shows and people will pick up on it quick. Not everyone can edit or has the gift of the gob and it is a strange thing to get used to chatting to a camera/yourself/imaginary people😂 Very soon the people come some are nice some are not, just as in real life but NEVER let that deter you if you are enjoying yourself.👍😎
Someone mentioned to me that they could see over time through my videos that I looked a lot more comfortable in the newer videos… getting more comfortable with the process. One thing for sure though. At the moment… I am having fun and happy to be developing some new skills
COVID showed us how fragile the rat race system has made our society. It's so frustrating that some companies didn't learn from it and were in such a rush to go back to that fragility rather than adapt to a more flexible model.
I do get a certain amount of flex but after such an extended period of realising what the possibilities were in terms of working patterns. The old model of needing the office and using it more frequently than not just feels much harder than it used to. It’s really difficult to explain to businesses how much it affects things now. What once was standard and expected no longer feels like the correct way to be working.
