Junior Jaron Lucas

Question: When did you start YouTube?

Answer: “I started YouTube back in early June [of 2016].”

Q: Why did you start YouTube?

A: “It’s important to do something that I love doing, and I truly love the process of making a video — there’s something about it I just really like.”

Q: What software do you use to edit the videos?

A: “I upload me talking about things I’m super passionate about, such as negative things society puts in our heads. I also upload covers of songs and even original songs, too. I would like to get more into short films. I like the idea of telling a story through them.”

Q: Who inspires you and your content for the channel?

A: “I think who inspires me the most is probably Jesus. He’s the reason I’m here and I’m able to do what I love.”

Q: What do you expect will come out of making these YouTube videos?

A: “My goal is not to gain subscribers or gain fame — it’s more to tell people who I am and what I love to do.”

Senior Evan Phillips

Q: Why did you start YouTube?

A: “I bought some root beer flavored Oreos and figured I could make a video out of them.”

Q: What software do you use to edit the videos?

A: “The charm of the show is in its low-quality production — at least that’s what I tell myself to justify my laziness. I film the videos on my phone and upload them straight to YouTube. Should there be some editing or at least sound balancing involved? Probably, but where’s the fun in that?”

Q: Who inspires you and your content for the channel?

A: “The show isn’t inspired by any channel in particular, and in fact the reason there was such a long gap between videos recently was because I discovered a glut of similar content on the site. Eventually I decided I was just unique enough to have a reason to exist. I would like to shout out RyanBeard, which is a channel featuring my friend Ryan Beard, who was on the last season of ‘America’s Got Talent.’”

Q: What do you expect will come out of making these YouTube videos?

A: “I don’t make the videos for any long term endgame. I have thought about announcing the channel’s end a few times in the past, but every time I do, some random person will tell me they just started watching and they love it. This gives me the will to soldier on.”

A: “I grew up watching YouTube, so I was easily inspired by the creators I watched. I found the whole concept very exciting and knew I wanted to make videos just like my favorite YouTubers did.”

Q: What content do you upload?

A: “[My friends and I] mostly make sit-down talking videos, lots of challenges, monthly favorites, shopping hauls, face painting and occasionally some failed attempts at baking.”

Q: Who inspires you and your content for the channel?

A: “Since I started watching YouTube, Bethany Mota has always been a huge inspiration to me. As of now I really enjoy [watching people’s channels who are] very passionate about the videos they make. They all showcase their different talents and entertaining personalities on the internet, and it inspires me to do the same.”

Q: What do you expect will come out of making these YouTube videos?

A: “Fame and money.”
