On why Zack started his own Youtube channel
I started YouTube knowing I would make a living, and that it would put me on the right path. Life was pretty much figured out for me coming out of high school, and it didn’t excite me. So, I took a step back and asked myself, “How can I do anything I want, and be focused?” Sure enough, I went to high school with DeeFizzy, a fellow YouTuber.
That story is pretty long, but as said, I knew what I was doing. The same thing with animation. I knew exactly what needed to be done, how to do it, and when I would see results. That’s my TLDR thought process behind every step that’s taken.
On how you can make money from a Youtube channel
Sustainable means we’re making money back from our video to continue producing the videos. This is rare when expensive animation means low paying ad dollars.
-We achieved this by a sheer number of factors. Everyone works in their homes, low overhead. Videos are short, affordable budgets. Assets are reused, quicker turn
Any celebrity voices on the way?
We’ve come close a few times. Most of it comes down to schedule conflicts. Example: lead singer of New Found Glory would love to do voiceovers with us. He’s actually an aspiring voice actor who did an animated pilot, I believe with Jack Black. Sadly, our production pipelines tend to conflict with his tour dates. So, we’re always working with him and a few others to make this happen in the future.
