Hey all,
This thread is the ECF homebase for my YouTube channel, "Sloth Tonight" (formerly known as Scydivasloth Productions). Here's the link: Sloth Tonight
Anytime I upload a new video, it will be posted here. I will also be active here in case anyone takes an interest and wants to bounce ideas back and forth about channel related stuff, as I enjoy the community's input and have found it very helpful to me on many occasions.
Sloth Tonight (the new channel name as of 11/11/2017) began as a vape channel and indeed will always be vape related to an extent. Specifically, it began as a Nicoticket e-liquid review channel when I was super into Nicoticket, then it expanded to include the occasional product review, coil tutorial, and so on.
Going forward, the channel will be a mixture of 2 different video series and also various other videos of whatever kind (eg vape review). As for the 2 series, I will break them down below.
"Plankton Hunters" - in this series, Sloth and his trusty Plankton-Sniffing-Dog, Boomer, are on an eradication mission. It all began when there was a mysterious and seemingly inexplicable shipwreck in the Adirondack Mountains. Onboard were two gruesome, grotesque Plankton Farmers, affectionately known as the "Plankton Farming Pimps." Without ruining the story, the plankton got out of control and infested the Adirondack water supplies, causing rampant sickness and many horrible things to start happening. I repeat: Sloth and Boomer are on an eradication mission. The plankton must be stopped before it is too late.
The 2nd series is not yet named, and I will update this post when it is. It will be a newscast/weather vlog. Let me stop and say do not worry, this "newscast" portion will in no way ever touch on real events or even imply a political message. I have no interest in that at all! What it will include is ridiculous made up news stories, and a comedic take on the weather. It will also notably include a ton of gorgeous outdoor scenery as I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy going out in snowstorms to ski, bushwhack through the beautiful coniferous forests I live in, etc. I am most excited for this series, but it will not air for another couple of months as I want that first episode to really pop and need some time.
And as mentioned there will also be various other videos that are more true to the history of my channel. Got a vape review for another mod coming up in a couple of weeks. Got another mountain biking video in the works. Essentially, I just love making videos and "Sloth Tonight" is my creative outlet. You can also expect some "music videos" in which Sloth jams on the bass to a drum track or something. It's a place to have fun.
If you are interested in the videos please consider subscribing to this thread so you will be notified when I post new updates and videos. If this thread has quite a few followers, I will quite often pose some questions about things like video ideas, quality feedback, etc.
For the record, I have a lot of new equipment and software I am in the process of learning. There should be a slow and steady quality leap over the next several months. In the past, everything was done on my phone in 720p. Going forward, there's a mixture of cameras, including a GoPro for those beautiful action shots in the great outdoors, and everything is being recorded at or above 1080p (if above, downsampled to 1080p for the upload to YouTube).
Now that my opening post is out of the way, feel free to chit chat. This is definitely a lounge area and you do not need to stay on topic. I will be back with channel updates soon, as well as the 2nd installment of the "Plankton Hunters" series, or the 1st depending on how you look at it (I posted one already but it's sort of a prequel).
If you are new to Sloth Tonight and have never seen Scydivasloth Productions before, I am going to post some videos which will give you a good range of the content so far. Everyone should understand that this is a fun, creative outlet for me and no offense will ever be taken if these videos are not your cup of tea. I'd rather be hated by many and loved by a few than be your typical "meh" YouTube channel. Feel free to hate and move on, you're still A'ok in my book
Ok, a few of my most recent videos are below, starting with a channel update very relevant to this opening post (if you watch that just ignore me asking for advice regarding a name change). The last video I'll include in this list is my most "popular" video from a few years back, and one of my favorites I ever made. Quick props to @Kent Brooks for helping me get where I got with that video (over 3k views!!! a lot for me!). Note that "Return of the Plankton" is the "prequel" to "Plankton Hunters" (and sorry in advance for the awful audio, I won't make that wretched mistake again)
So subscribe to the channel, subscribe to the thread, or move on with your life - all is good with me man. But if you enjoy this stuff, you must be crazy like me. We'll get along just fine
ETA: For now, if you go to the actual homepage of my YouTube channel, the banner art etc still says "Scydivasloth Productions." That's confusing I know and it will all change in the next month or 2 over to "Sloth Tonight" - just clarifying
