Duo Lightning Production Studios – How To Start A Minecraft Machinima/Roleplay YouTube Channel in 2021.

Hello everyone and welcome to dual lightning production studios i’m sally wolfstrom125 and today we’ll be talking about the steps of becoming a minecraft youtuber so without further delay let’s get into the video so i can assume you are here to learn about how to make minecraft machinimas roleplays whatever

So first i suggest that you start out with planning me personally my machinimas were inspired by dantdm’s custom mod adventures logan exploiting tnt and many other forms of media but to start out you want to have a plan what do you want it to be about

Find a story you want to be told and tell it that’s really the most i can say about the subject Next you want to gather the materials you need to create the story don’t start with expensive gear start out small because you do not know if you want to keep pursuing this after your first trial i personally started out with a logitech headset to record myself obs for capturing software filmora for editing

Which we will talk about later and of course java minecraft i can promise you that it is never too late to upgrade since my first film i’ve graduated to using a toner tc30 davinci resolve for editing and minima or screen capturing if necessary you may want to add mods to

Minecraft in my first minecraft movie i used mr crayfish’s furniture mod optifine custom npc’s mod etc for me getting mods was a pretty lengthy process and it took an entire spring break but once i figured it out it was worth it and i was ready to go

Now on to the part that most of you came to for this video and that is recording i personally can’t give an opinion on software like bandycam because in my career i’ve only used two forms of screen capturing and that is obs and minima as of now all of my films

Have been recorded with obs and recently i upgraded to using a minecraft mod called minima which produces high quality videos within the minecraft software itself if you have a lower end pc i recommend using minima because it will help with the frame rate even if you don’t care about stuff like that

I do recommend before you start out play with obs settings find out what may work for you but i personally recommend both forms of screen capturing now ask yourself what format do you want to record you want to record it in role play format or machinima format the main difference between the two

Is that rule plays are first person video which centers around live improvisation it doesn’t mean that you can’t have an outline of the plot in a role play but what characterizes a role play mostly is a first person point of view involvement of real body actors and improvisation

Meanwhile a machinima is a third person cinematic scripted video that is defined by a script third person point of view and cinematic camera work if you ever have trouble telling the difference between the two think of dantdm’s custom mod adventures and a majority of exploding tnt’s videos

Once you believe you have all your footage it is time for the cherry on top editing my first two machinimas were edited with filmora and once i had a grasp on editing i moved on to hit film express without process part three and my latest one was edited with

Davinci resolve one of the main things i want all of you to take away from this video is to do what works for you there are many different ways to do these some may be challenging some may be too easy but after doing this for a while you will find works for

You as a youtuber and as a content creator now that your video is done it is time to get it out there all creators will grow differently i personally got 100 views within the first few hours of releasing the outcrosses part 1. after that the video grew gradually

And the fact that i didn’t post for months after i finished did not help my channel’s growth at all while quality over quantity is important to me i do feel like you need some sort of secondary content to keep your viewers entertained sometimes youtube will help you with promotion but if you

Plan on promoting your content one thing i do not recommend is promoting your content and other people’s videos comments i cannot tell you how many times i have been scrolling through random videos and had an old comment of me promoting my first role play and had a cringe attack

Unless said in the video please do not promote in the comments i am speaking on behalf of your older self instead get involved in communities discord servers facebook groups as a small youtuber it is always best to be a part of some sort of community instead of being some random spammer

Or just another person promoting their content actually get involved in the community if you have promoted your video and knows that people are ignoring it then maybe you need to change something about it whether it is cutting out a small proportion changing the thumbnail the description or title

Tools that i do recommend are tubebuddy and vid iq to help you with your youtube process i personally use both youtube extensions and they have doubled my success in the youtube algorithm the most helpful feature that has helped me is their tag tools which help me

Discover which tags that i will rank for so that is it that’s all i have to say about the subject if you would like to see more tutorials like this i suggest you subscribe or save this video thank you for watching and i’ll see you in the next video
