J-Vid 11 – My Two Dogs 2 [Electric Boogaloo]

If you can’t see the video above, click here.

Today, I’d like to talk about how I first came to YouTube and how I’m currently using it.

Around late 2004-early 2005 when I was still in college, my friends and I would browse around site like Fugly, KillSomeTime, and eBaumsWorld to watch funny video clips as well as pictures. They were basically like the YouTube of their day, but minus the vloggers.

When Lazy Sunday exploded all over the internet, we discovered YouTube. At that point, we just added it to our list of sites to browse around for funny clips. It wasn’t until around 2006 that I began watching people like TokyoCooney, RodgerSwan, and SxePhil. I then wanted to get involved with the community so I signed up for my own YouTube account on March 1st 2006.

Although I had already posted some videos, it wasn’t until I got my own camera in September 2008 that I really began to do stuff, and I’ve been putting out videos ever since.

Well, that’s pretty much it for now. Like I said in the video, more new stuff is on the way (including more Navy videos) so stay tuned. Peace!

TheAndySan – My YouTube Story

If you can’t see the video above, click here.

It seems like ages since I last made a vlog, so I decided to do a quick one to explain the status of my various video series as well as what’s been going on recently.

It’s been a great experience working with my best bud Eriopolis on the Movie Night series, and I hope that we’ll continue to make more videos together!!

Until I started working on the Movie Night and Life In… series, I haven’t really sat down and watched my videos that much. A lot of them seemed stuck to a certain point of time and there are a couple very early videos that I’m downright embarrassed about. The reason I still keep them up is to show my progression as not only a YouTuber, but as a person. Despite the overall badness of some of them, I still get warm feelings of nostalgia when I watch the videos that were taken back when I was still at UU! Ahh, memories…

But anyway, getting back to the subject at hand, several of my video series are in a state of flux at the moment. Let me just give you the short version of what’s going on:

J-Vid – Unless it’s for a collab or as a response to a popular video, I don’t have any plans to bring back the J-Vids as a regular series.

Life In… – Since I’m beginning to run out of interesting places to record in the local area, I might only have a couple more episodes of the Life In… series left before I move to San Diego. Once I move there and am able to do stuff, you can count on me bringing the series back in full force!

WAR – Because of the recent increase in views and interest from this series, I’ve been tinkering with the idea of bringing it back. I have a couple of excellent CDs in mind to review! There’s also the distinct possibility of doing a long-awaited anime review *audible gasp!*.

In conclusion, just stay tuned and I hope to be giving you guys some more awesome videos in the near future!

J-Vid 10 – Why I’m Glad

Since I had some time to get online this week, I just wanted to write a brief post saying what I’ve been up to this week as well as what to expect with my upcoming vlogs.

Ever since I started posting my Navy videos, I’ve received mostly positive feedback (I’ve even managed to turn one of my anti-Navy critics into a good supporter). Although I’d like for all of my videos to be seen as much as possible, I didn’t really expect the Navy vids to do as well as they have. I’d like to thank all of my subscribers here on TheAndySan.com, as well as on YouTube and Twitter and wherever else you’re following me, for all of your support. I do read all of the comments (even the “lol dats funy” ones) and they’ve helped me create better videos as well as better blog posts.

The Status of My YouTube Video Series

Due to the unexpected popularity of my Navy videos as well as the influx of questions about the Navy from YouTube, I am gonna be recording more Navy-related videos. This is including the workout and diet that I used to lose 20+ pounds in a month-and-a-half.

I’m also gonna work on a new series where I take you on a tour of my hometown of Celina. I’ll show off the landmarks as well as different places that I visit regularly and record my videos at. This should be interesting indeed!

As far as my other existing video series goes, it’s hard to say right now. I know that I don’t want to do another J-Vid unless it’s part of a collab or something of the like. It started out as a great way to work on my Japanese skills, but then I started relying too much on Google Translate and the sentences became more and more cumbersome to say. But never say never I always say, haha!!

Like I said in my previous post, I’d love to do more review videos. I think those were my most worked-out videos compared to my other videos that were usually recorded on the fly. I have several ideas floating around for what I could review, so look forward to some more reviews!

Where To Go From Here

Once again, I’d like to thank you guys for your support and I look forward to hearing more from you guys! In the meantime, I’ll be working on some of the upcoming videos that I talked about as well as continue to play Pokemon Diamond (I just caught Dialga and I’m now chillin’ at SunyShore City. Does anyone know how to bring the Gym Leader out to battle?).

Well kiddies, I’m off to get some gas and then I’m heading home. After that, I’ll start recording for the new videos. See you guys next week!!
