Youtube asked me to make a video for comedy week, so I thought I’d use the budget to make myself a new CV.

Clearing my computer I found some designs I did for Khyan’s What Love Is video last year, proving that ‘collaboration’ doesn’t always have to be a big part.

When am I making a new video?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 12:27:45 +0000

The question has been nagging me as anxiously as it has some of you. When am I making a new video? I’ve wanted to for the past few months, but things keep getting in the way; from feeling creatively dried up, to taking on work to make ends meet, pursuing my other creative endeavours, and just wanting to do a good job.

That’s what I’ve been caught on recently. By being absent on Youtube for so long (now three months), it seems that anything I put out on Youtube now will be considered my ‘comeback’. The self-made pressure has left me too embarrassed to simply fizzle back onto the scene with apologies, so I decided that if I’m going to have to do a comeback, I might as well do it properly.

But doing things properly is easier said than done, so things are taking longer than expected. I hope to be back on Youtube in a couple of weeks (ish).

So, yes, I’m not dead and I am busy making stuff I hope you will like.

Also, I reserve the right to leave you unimpressed.

thetomska:

So earlier today I lost my cool [link] over feminists reacting badly to those with good intentions. Twice [link].

One Tumblr user compared my frustations to “telling us to put our weapons down when we’re being attacked.” In reality, I was saying “stop shooting at us, we thought we were on…

I’m glad you sat down. It was a long-ass video!

"Girls on YouTube"

emily-diana-ruth:

After a very emotional day, I’m not sure I have the energy to really sink my teeth into the discussion of why the new episode of Becoming YouTube is troubling to me. As a female videoblogger and filmmaker, I am keenly aware of how this unbalance in the youtube world extrapolates into the world of film; it’s something that I struggle with and will struggle with for the duration of my career. And sometimes the added weight of sexism in your chosen industry is just too much to take when life is already throwing you a few curveballs.

I will say, however, that one of the key problems with the episode to me is that it assumes that YouTube success (ie views, subs etc) is indicative of quality of content. Which I wholeheartedly disagree with. There is plenty of amazing stuff being made that does not garner the same attention as a lot of the YouTubers we see being interviewed on Becoming YouTube. Maybe this is because they defy the format of the traditional “vlog” that we have grown to expect, or because they just haven’t had the good fortune to have the right people find their stuff and have the compassion to share it (I NEVER would have had any subscribers if it wasn’t for Lesliefoundhergrail finding my first video and tweeting about it - thanks gurl). And I would say that a lot of this quality yet seemingly undiscovered stuff is being made by females. Probably over 75% of the content I watch on YouTube is made by females, and a good portion of those creators have proportionately “smaller” viewerships than some of the more well known people. (I use quotations because, um, 10,000 people is A LOT OF PEOPLE.)

But alas, still people can’t seem to find the “elusive female YouTuber”.

Well I found a lot of them and I’d like to share. These are just some of my picks, but I encourage you to check out Becky’s tumblr for a more boss list that she is curating (because she is boss).

Alright that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ve left out some people but have at it. I am always looking for new creators too!

And remember - caring is sharing. If you like something someone is doing, why not spread the love?

EDIT: Just like to re-iterate that this is not a comprehensive list but just the people I have been watching - and that list will surely grow over the next couple days while I check out your recommendations. Also that I am so delighted that our collective frustration has managed to turn into so much wonderful sharing and you guys are all the coolest.

I make an appearance in the latest episode of Becoming Youtube, which is about Girls on Youtube, and has hence started a lot of online debate.
