[Sacrifice 2,278]

Hello Tankers! In today's article, we will be interviewing one of the well-known YouTubers of Tanki Online: Taspens. Read to find out more about your favorite YouTuber!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello Taspens! Welcome to Tanki Online Newspaper.
Thanks for having me.

 

Awesome. Let's get started with the interview! Taspens, can you please introduce yourself to the community.
Hello, my name is Taylor, but I am known in Tanki Online and YouTube as Taspens. At the time of this article I have 9.5k subs and I make Tanki Online videos. 

 

That was a fine introduction, Taspens. Now, let's start from the basics first. How did you find out about Tanki Online and when did you start playing it? 
I started playing Tanki Online just before Moon Silence came out in 2011. My older brother showed the game to me and I instantly became hooked.

 

Let's get straight into this and talk YouTube. When did you start making videos and what pushed you to join the race? 
I started making YouTube videos with my crappy laptop back in November of 2016 with a watermarked Bandicam recorder. I guess the saying that “you have to start somewhere” was true for me. I wanted to start making YouTube videos because I saw content creators videos like Ghost Animator and MrThunder and thought how cool it would be to become famous like them. I started recording during the 2016 Halloween event and uploaded my first video, which was a game-play on the Halloween map.

Most people have a hard time grinding subscribers. How would you elaborate your struggle in this regard? 
At first, it was super hard to gain subs. I remember thinking how much easier it would be just to stop uploading and give up, but after uploading and uploading, I could slowly see more and more people starting to subscribe. It's important to not give up even when it looks like you are going to fail. Just keep on uploading and slowly the subs will roll in. Getting the first 100 subs was the hardest couple of months of my YouTube career.

 

I can sure agree. Like the famous saying goes, "The first step is always the hardest!". Can you also shed some light on the software you use for editing? 
I have been using Wondershare Filmora for multiple years since I first purchased it in December of 2016. This editor is great for new YouTube channels looking for a way to edit their videos. Recently, I had help from Graphics, I.Alfi and Redweg, who have both shown me how to edit well with Adobe After Effects. I look forward to making some awesome edits in the future with this software.

 

I am sure that will definitely add to the quality of the video! By the way, Copyright strike is definitely the worst nightmare of a YouTuber. Have you had any similar experiences and what would you recommend the aspiring YouTuber's in this regard? 
I have not received a strike on my channel before, but I do know some YouTubers who have. When using other people's clips, it is important to remember two important things:

• If you did not get permission to use a clip from another YouTuber, they have the right to copyright strike your channel, so only take content from other channels when given permission.
• Secondly, it's always better to do something yourself than to use another person's content. Using copyrighted music isn't a big deal if you don't care about losing some money along the way.

 

I agree! Now a question about time management. How do you manage YouTube as well as real life responsibilities side-by-side? 
As long as I stay on top of my homework and real life problems, it isn't too hard to manage YouTube.

 

How do you plan and record your videos? 
Usually I come up with an idea the day before an upload and I record the footage throughout the day and edit towards the end of the night. Although, oftentimes I do get lazy and push it off to the next day. Typically, it's smart to stay on top of this, but as long as I get the video out, I don't have a big problem with it.

 

Having a large fan following has its set of responsibilities. Would you like to shed some light on this matter?
Often enough, I will have people who come to me for advice daily and this can oftentimes become a hassle, especially when I am messaging over 20 people a day on Discord about YouTube and Tanki. It is important to stay calm and not get mad at the people who just want a little help. I try to get back to everyone, but if I don't, it's usually because I was very busy.

 

What advice would you like to give to those applying for helpers positions as well as the aspiring YouTubers? 
I would tell these people to not give up. Even if it doesn't work out at first, always try again.

 

Is there anything else you would like to say to your fans who are reading this? 
Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey in this game. I hope to continue uploading for years to come. Thank you!

Cool interview with lots of interesting questions. It was nice to hear from a youtuber's perspective.

[chinufire1 119]

This was a brilliant interview with really useful information especially the editor you use, I have tried iMovie but it is a bit clunky. I may have to try Fiilmora or Adobe After Effects as I have heard they are user friendly software. You're a true og when you record with the bandicam watermark xd. Keep the good content rolling :)
