I’ve been thinking about creating youtube content for years, recently I finally got around to trying my hand at content creation. The technical aspects I’ve had sorted out for quite a while as I’ve been involved in supporting the technical aspects of remote teaching for quite a long time. It’s mostly the content itself which is the biggest challenge for me.
So I set myself up to record at home on my PC, I’ve installed some tools such as OBS, Audacity, Shotcut, and Handbrake, then sorted out the hardware as best I could. At the moment my microphone is probably the part that lets me down the most, being a relatively cheap one, but with everyone currently needing such technology it’s hard to get good equipment. I have an old web camera that is also sub optimal, but I don’t really plan on using it at this stage.
So what kind of content do I have planned? I’ve been planning on making some videos about gwbasic for some time, as the content I have seen hasn’t really been the sort that I’d like to watch. My first video is basically telling the story and demonstrating one of my gwbasic games that I made when I was a kid. In the future I’ll also cover stuff made by other people and in other languages such as QBasic and Pascal. However my focus is less on the programming and more on the programs themselves. Although if someone really wants a tutorial I may make a few.
I am thinking of doing gaming related content as well, perhaps some windows 9x games. I play a lot of Minecraft so that may get a showing as well.
Here’s my first video, warts and all. Let me know what you think.
