This is a new double edged sword I now face.
I keep telling people to make better videos. I hear other people telling others to make better videos. "The best way to grow is to make better videos"
We need to be focusing on making sure our intros are on point, and by intros, I just mean the first 10 seconds, not an actual intro animation. Your editing needs to be on point. You need to be telling the right story within x amount of time. You need to "kill your darlings". You need the video to be as to the point as possible. You need good sound, you need good lighting, no clutter. Make things more interesting with b roll...
I have all these messeges rolling through my brain of how to make a video better, knowing that some of my videos simply won't be able to be better... which makes me wonder what's even the point in uploading.
"Done is better than perfect" is very true... but a done, sub par video, isn't going to do much for your channel (except those videos that take you 10 minutes to film, slap them together because you don't care, throw them out into the void for the sake of "content" and "having something done" and "consistency" and boom... that 10 minute fluff does better than the video that took you weeks to craft.
It gets annoying at time, the constant mental struggle to try and make better content, a better viewing experience. You get fed up so you throw out garbage and the garbage does better than your "good" videos. You then wonder "what IS a good video?" and it just leads to a lot of mixed messeges and confusion.
There's no real point to this post outside of airing the frustrations of a creator battling the balance between done, and "good content"
Who else feels that struggle.
