I started my YouTube channel with no experience in video or editing. I just had a crappy laptop webcam, and a basic GoPro to do videos. To me, because I was a beginner and ignorant and naive, I had fun. I had no concept of what \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good editing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was, or how to do a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153proper interview\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I was totally ignorant of all of these \u00e2\u20ac\u0153film school\u00e2\u20ac\u009d principles, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m glad. This prevented me from falling victim to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153paralysis by analysis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I just made fun and random videos of whatever interested me, or whatever was fun to me, and from 2011-2018 I was able to gain 50,000+ subscribers on YouTube with zero video or editing skills.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Working on Layers: Manila Street Photography GoPro POV with the Fujifilm x100s\" width=\"1180\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KhGsLSlHKRs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However after a while, I started to get pressured to make more \u00e2\u20ac\u0153professional\u00e2\u20ac\u009d quality videos, with fancy lighting setups, fancy microphone and audio setups, and I started to fall victim to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153paralysis by analysis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.

Just random videos of my travels and living arrangements. Here are my new rules:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Only make videos or stuff that interests me<\/strong>: I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to make videos which might be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153popular\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153go viral\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty obvious what kinds of videos are popular (gear review videos, etc) but doing these videos are mostly boring to me. By making videos and stuff that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first interesting to me, I naturally have more excitement, enthusiasm, and authenticity in my videos. And to me, authenticity is the only judge of whether a piece of art is good or bad. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry too much about the editing or audio-visual quality<\/strong>: Focus on the content, that the content is inspiring, motivational, or empowering. Basic \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good enough\u00e2\u20ac\u009d audio-visual is sufficient for me. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Just do it<\/strong>: Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t overthink making videos, just have fun and do it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Osaka Japanese Grocery Store GoPro POV Tour VLOG\" width=\"1180\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G0qO16pH-aE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Play like a child<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80052\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80052\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"80052\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/19\/uji-osaka-diary-ii\/eric-kim-photography-osaka-2018-0611655\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Eric-Kim-Photography-Osaka-2018-0611655.jpg?fit=4928%2C3264&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4928,3264\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;GR II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1521464786&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Eric Kim Photography Osaka &amp;#8211; 2018-0611655\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Cindy going down stairs.

Osaka, 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also, this is my new philosophical belief:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Doing something poorly is better than never doing it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is my rationale:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a beginner or newbie, of course the quality of whatever you produce won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be as good as a professional or expert who has been doing it for a decade or longer. You must go through the baby steps in order to get really good in any field.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discouragement is death to the beginner<\/strong>. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting off in anything new, avoid discouragement and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153nay saying\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at all costs! If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a seedling, you need encouragement and protection from the cruel outside elements in order to grow into a redwood tree. Baby lions need to be protected from predators in order to grow to become big and strong. When we are baby artist lion-cubs, we also need to be protected from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153haters\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\/predators from the outside to grow and evolve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You will never have the opportunity to innovate or create something new without attempting it.<\/strong> Thus, allow yourself to be foolish and try new things. Also when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re starting something new, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t follow the manual. Try learning via trial and error, and just experimenting by yourself. This will prevent you from just following the beaten (and boring) path. Pave your own path and self-experiment\u00e2\u20ac\u201d you might discover a new technique or approach that experts didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even know was possible! This is the benefit of the beginner (beginner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou see opportunities, rather than restrictions (expert\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mind).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_79991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79991\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"79991\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/19\/uji-osaka-diary-ii\/eric-kim-photography-uji-osaka-2018-0611402-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Eric-Kim-Photography-UJI-Osaka-2018-0611402-1.jpg?fit=3000%2C1987&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3000,1987\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;GR II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1521381614&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Eric Kim Photography UJI &amp;#8211; Osaka &amp;#8211; 2018-0611402\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Triangle building.
