Speed Projects

I've been adding videos to my YouTube channel for about six months now. I get the camera (my phone) set up, get out some supplies (usually including something I "just had to have" and purchased recently) and do a little project. Sometimes, I have somewhat of an idea of what to draw/paint/collage ahead of time, but, most of the time, I just wing it.  On average, these videos take around 30-60 minutes in "real time" to make.

I usually post all of the videos that I create, whether I like them or not. I get inspiration from other YouTube channels and artists, and some of it just "comes to me."  Lately, most of my "process" videos, have been in a "speed" format. That is, I speed up the tape to between 300 and 500 times the speed that I recorded it.  I remove the audio and add music later. Why?  Because that's the kind of video that I like to watch.

I recently joined a Facebook group called "Art Supply Junkies Unite."  We totally enable each other's supply addiction, but I have also learned a lot about various mediums AND about what people like to watch on YouTube.

It seems like around half of the people like watching tutorials or demos at "normal" speed and with narration and about half like the speed-videos with music and subtitles. I'm not sure which way I'll end up going with this... I love watching my drawings come to life at super speeds, but I also like to tell others my thought process and how I figured out how to do my projects!

Here are two videos I posted recently... one on a bargain craft supply "haul" and the other is a mixed media speed project.

What kind of YouTube videos do you like to watch?
