I'm sure we all know what YouTube is. If you don't, uh, well... *ahem*. Anyways, I have been talking to a few others and decided to proceed with making a very simple video talking about City of Heroes, what it means to me and what others can do to help save it. Now, I'm not exactly a professional YouTuber. But it turns out that it's pretty easy to talk into a webcam for a few minutes and hit upload! Which is where my expertise ends. If I knew how to edit extensively or had the time to learn, I would. Until then, this will do.
Here's a link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-kCP-igzdg&feature=youtu.beIT IS CURRENTLY "UNLISTED". Therefore, only those with this link can view it. So I'm looking for feedback. Not on my hair or my choice of tank top, but on any -glaring- omissions or oversights. Barring any of those, I'll mark it as listed and begin sharing it, tweeting, blah blah blah.
More importantly, I am asking all of YOU to do the same. Not many people are going to see my video. But a wave of "Save CoH" videos has the potential to make an impact. Social media is a powerful thing! So make some videos. Trust me, it's not hard. If you don't have a webcam or aren't comfortable sharing your angel faces, make something else. Slideshow, etc. Anything works, just get a video up there!
If/when you do make something. Share it somewhere on this forum, in game, on the official boards, everywhere you can think of. That way we can share your video(s) too. If we get enough of these out there, it'll make a splash. Promise. If people are warm enough to this idea, one of the admins may want to consider stickying this post (though the sticky list is getting long, so I understand if that's not the best idea).
One last note. YouTube is useful for more than just uploading a video. Getting a -real- YouTuber behind our cause would be EXTREMEMLY beneficial. So if you know anyone who regularly posts to YouTube, approach them about helping us out. It's akin to getting celebrity help in YouTube circles. Most YouTubers are well-versed in social media, so any involvement on their part can have a chain reaction on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. So get out there!
That is all.
