Hi everyone,

It's been awhile since I looked around all the different forums so I thought I would stop by and let you know or remind any who have seen me in the past about who I am.

My name is Steve, My youtube name is SadClown654. I am a full time single dad living with my daughter currently 11 years old.

I like to game (I mean who doesn't these days lol) but that's not the only thing I enjoy about making youtube videos, I am probably 1 of the few who actually enjoy doing things like editing videos, searching out music/sound effects and so on because a good video no matter the amount of views when finished gives a sense of accomplishment.

I also like to make minecraft animations though they take me a very long time to complete.

If you want to stop by my channel and see for yourself you are more then welcome to,

Thanks for stopping by,

Nice job writing a lot about yourself clown :p My dad's name is Steve! What do you do full time? Gaming is fun, what do you enjoy the most about making videos? Animations take a long time, but it can payoff in the end ^^

Hey, atm I am looking for work, I have too big a gap on my CV from raising my daughter so even when explained alot don't take me on, my fav bit about making the videos (aside from playing the games lol) is the editing. Its a creative art of sorts like drawing or writing if that makes sense

That's understandable, raising your family takes priority. Playing games works out great when you're having fun, and I'm glad that you enjoy editing. Some people just slap the uncut footage into youtube at times :p I understand what you're talking about.

some times I make animated intros, other times I use game footage like the link below. some games have nothing but a fade in but even on stuff like that I at min use a 2nd editing program to edit out my pc noise before rendering for a much lower file size of about 1-2 gb (I use dx tory so i have a seperate track for my audio so i can sort out pc noise but it uses a great deal of gb per vid lol)

the link i mentioned is

It's insane how many GB a file can have after recording. Having PC noise can get bothersome at times. Have you considered getting a higher-grade microphone as well?

Longer then I care to admit given how my views have dropped lol. I have been at it 3-4 years now and in the last year my views have gone from aprox 10k per month (covering all vids not per vid) to 2k I have tried lots of different things to get it moving again with little success

That's nice that you're improving overall, what was the deciding factor for getting your current set-up?

I think it just happens , a lot of youtubers go through that stage ! but keep doing what your doing , I'm coming to my second year on youtube soon ! My views have dropped a lot then gone back up :) I'm sure it will take off again :)

I really hope so, it's not the fans that are what i enjoy about it but knowing that I have made content that people have enjoyed. I like doing things for others so it's depressing when I'm not entertaining people anymore and its hard to stop that coming through on the vids
