So you want to know more about my past and aspiring YouTube partnerships do you?
I'll try to keep this long story as short as possible:
Back in 2007 (a lifetime ago), I started creating short YouTube videos, I had 3 channels but only 1 was successful.
It was primarily focused on Stop Motion animations with WWE Action Figures.
|
200,000 views
|
82,000 views
|
But along with stop motion videos, I also created longer form "comedy" videos.
This was apparently the bread and butter of the channel, because the longer videos brought the views. I mean millions of them:
**Watch at your own risk, they are 5-10 min non-scripted videos full of cringy 2007-2009 wrestling references.
And yes, I've hit puberty since then.**

2,110,000 views

532,000 views
Created exactly one year after the first. |
288,000 views

The only requirement for YouTube partnership up until 2010 was to have a video with a million views - my video proves it's not impossible to achieve. However, there wasn't a lot of money in YouTube back in 2010, so I only made a couple hundred dollars.
However, it did push me to go to Mohawk College for Advertising and the rest of my Ad history writes itself.

8 years into the industry, the Corona Virus hits and ended the full time gig I thought I'd be placing my roots at.
While freelance gigs help pay the bills, I still wanted to find a way to fuel my creative fire.
One of my favourite genres on YouTube are called Video Essays, they are short docu-series on topics you find interesting.
Most video essays are on things like Music, Movies, Video Games, Sports, and even other YouTubers.
While I am interested in all those things, I found no one was really talking about the one thing that connects all the topics listed:
Advertising.

Enter the Advertising Cinematic Universe.
**I write and edit these myself. I'd much rather you watch these ones than the action figure videos.**

Did you know: The Baby Back Ribs jingle was written in 5 minutes by a Creative Director too embarrassed to give the project to his team?
|
Did you know: Playstation had to re-shoot a commercial after it aired because of a complaint from the Nigerian Government?
|
Did you know: Gatorade was going to use
"I wanna be like you" from the Jungle Book until Disney wanted $350,000 to licence the song? |
When I started looking up some of my favourite ads, I found there was an interesting story in all of them.
