Hiya folks.

Well here is the story,the other day i was walking in town and i saw a lawyer struggle with his ''spanglish'' while talking with some brits,i was walking by and with some time to spare so i approached him and asked him if he needed some help.

We end up sitting down for a coffee while i translated for like 45 minutes,brits were happy and the lawyer too.

When the brits left he thanked me for the translating and gave me 50 euros,before taking it i told him i really didn't do it because i was expecting to get paid,i just like to help people.

Well anyway,we talked for awhile,told him about my backround,you know the time i owned my own solicitor business,my work with deeds,wills,NIE papers,etc etc.
Also talked that even thou i missed my work i couldn't start again since taking care of my pops takes a lot of my time.
We parted ways and this morning while i was out shopping he asked me if we could meet,was in a bit of a hurry but this lawyer dude gave me good vibes so said sure i got 15 minutes free for you.

We met at a coffee shop and once we sat down and ordered some coffee he took out a plastic bag and handed it over,a brand new Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (8GB · 256GB)
o_O yeah i know!!

Said that he knew about my situation with my pops but that he wanted me to do work for him,he noticed my cheapo smartphone i was using the first day we met (Alcatel that cost me like 50 euros) and for the stuff he needs from me i was going to need a better phone.
Basically it will be just be random calls,video chats with clients and some translating of documents.
If time allows it and we schedule around it maybe some meetings with his clients in person.

So yeah i got a part time job for now,still gotta work out the specifics about the pay and all that but hey for now i got myself a new phone and a pretty good one,think it cost 400 euros or more.

Well anyway all this story is just to share with you folks that in the near future i might be making some video vaping apparatus reviews,looked into and yeah it seems a bit daunting.
Well mostly the editing of said video,speaking on camera? Nah i can easily wing that,i mean my previous experience from working in the radio will make the speaking part pretty easy.

To be honest not planning in doing this for money,more like a hobby,something i really enjoy doing.

Gear wise i already got the phone,for starting on a budget i would just need tripod for the phone,arm for the unboxing part of the video and maybe some lightning circle thing i already checked out in Amazon.

If i do this i want to start the right way so i have to get myself a name for the youtube channel,animated intro/outro (probably the same to save on costs) and a logo.
Been racking my head for a name for my channel....its hard,first one that came to mind was ''Thunderlips'',name always makes me chuckle.
Its from Rocky III,Hulk Hogan's name in the movie hehe

Yeah i know,not going with that name,sounds too much like a name i would use in onlyfans hahaha.

Well anyway,just thought i would share this with you folks,will let you know once i get started with all this,got a lot of research to do before i dip my foot into the youtube pool.

I had never gone to OnlyFans until yesterday. Hilarious, and no I did not log in. I get the idea.

For making videos I used a pretty fast system, Dell Alienware. My laptop was not up to the challenge.

If you are thinking of chatting with anyone over the Internet through YouTube you will need a fast Internet connection. 30 megabytes per second or faster, preferably 50Mbps, or you are going to have problems.

Do some test runs and see what the quality is.

I'd give you my YouTube portal address, but I deleted it.

Ok folks need some help,could use some ideas so i am going to tag everyone and see if anyone can give me hand with this.
I need a name for my vaping channel where i will review vaping products,been at it for a week and nothing,drawing blanks...

Finally got a design guy,he is the one going to do the logo and the intro/outro video (on a budget so it will be short hehe).

I'm going full 80's on the logo and the animated intro,favorite decade so that is what i chose.
Aesthetic wise it will something like this:

1246070.jpg


That's just so you get an idea,lot of neon pink and blue.
Won't be that scenery but the motiff will totally inspired in the 80's and the predominant use of blue and pink neon.

But the name of the channel....can't seem to come up with anything.
Video reviews will be in English and all my English speaking friends and most of my clients back in the day called me Frank,Franky,Frankyboy, Frankybaby,etc,etc.
Name is Francisco (first name anyway,in Spain we have 2 of each,2 first names and 2 last names),so for them Franky was just easier and i kinda liked it.

Would kinda like the name of the channel to have the word Franky in it...but again nothing comes to mind,just feel that i am stuck if i can't come up with a name,once that is done i can get the ball rolling.

So tagging time,tagging everyone i know here in ECF and hoping for some ideas,remember there are no dumb ideas so just recommend what you come up with,its all good ;)
Not asking to drop what you're doing at the moment but hey if you're in line at the supermarket or driving around town and an idea in the form of a name for my future Youtube channel pops in your head feel free to drop a line here,might be a winner.

@hittman @Daniel Forsyth @Frenkyou @Letitia @ShowMeTwice @pt91 @DPLongo22 @Nailz @chanelvaps @Tor R @bigbob2322 @Pigs @AngeNZ @gloopdegurp @Z-Lee @englishmick @Fidola13 @ShamrockPat @somdcomputerguy @zoiDman @DavidOck @Izan @HyDrOpOnIc1987 @FranC @dreamvaper @440BB @Fredman1

Cheers folks,thanks in advance :)

P.S: If anyone comes up with a name that is the one i will be choosing they win a free weekend in the South east coast of Spain.
I will provide a bed (none inflatable,a real one),food,booze and my services as a tour guide and translator.
Plane ticket not included.

Sorry for the late reply,so much stuff going i totally forgot.
About the videos i won't be streaming or doing live shows,all with be pre-recorded and edited for the different parts of the video,intro,unboxing etc etc.
Connection wise i got 600Mb/s at the moment (for an extra 9,99 euros you can get 1000Mb/s) here in Spain its not that bad when it comes to prices for internet connection (Fiber-optic in my case)
29,99 euros a month for 600Mb/s,cellphone line with 25gbs in data and they always throw something in if i renew my contract,last time it was a yearly sub for Amazon Prime.

    Hiya folks.

    Been busy with my pops,seems we have some traction when it comes to the transplant so i am juggling a lot of balls at the moment.

    In the spare times i have which are far and between i have been trying to decide on the gear but can't seem to decide on anything,
    Still need a tripod for the phone (for the talking where you see my face portions of the video,i remove the keyboard from my desk and put the small tripod there),the arm for the unboxing part of the video that lets me record from ''above'',the microphone and some sort of light circle thingy.

    If anyone has some knowledge about this i would appreciate some help.

    In www.amazon.es even if you type in English in the search bar it will come up with the same results as if you were using Spanish,got a 200 euros (more or less)for everything:

    desk tripod,light,mic and arm (unboxing from above),so if you see anything you would recommend i would greatly appreciate some feedback.

    Getting started is tough,so much to do.

    Recorded some videos and used OBS to get some practice at editing,doesn't seem that hard just time consuming.

    Well anyway,thanks in advance folks :)
