Calling All Creative Types...
Thursday, September 24, 2009
We'd like to introduce you to the
Creator's Corner
, a new hub for aspiring video-makers. This section of the site brings together all the information a budding
artiste
could want to know about making videos, including:
video tutorials about
actions on YouTube
,
special effects techniques
,
tips on being successful on the site
and much more
Help Center articles about editing videos, optimizing them for YouTube, and the basics of uploading
a "feature kit" of tools available to creators
tons of
project ideas
a
dedicated forum
for creative discussions and collaboration
a
blog
focused on all the cool stuff you make on YouTube
discount offers
on products you're most likely to covet as a video-maker (right now Apple is offering free shipping on all orders over $50)
cool graphics
to place on your blog or site, to direct people back to your YouTube channel or video
We think of this as just the beginning: we're currently working on setting up some Webinars to help you take your video-making to the next level, and we're seeking out some of the most accomplished video producers on YouTube to grill them on the techniques, inspiration and secrets behind their videos. (First up:
read about tilt-shifting and timelapse
in Keith Loutit's
"Metal Heart" video
.)
In addition, we're eager to expand our
badge gallery
, so if you have an awesome graphic you'd like to share with others to help them advertise their YouTube presence on their own site, email it to ytcreators@gmail.com and we'll consider it for inclusion on the page. If we do add your graphic to the Corner, we'll be sure to credit you there and send you a T-shirt as thanks.
So please
give the site a whirl
and let us know what you think -- and what you'd like to see -- in the comments below or
in the forum
.
