I forgot to mention - whatever you look like or sound like... OWN IT! I'm a firm believer that personality and perseverance wins at the end of the day. Good luck 👍

[@bennyw9975]

Agreed. Perseverance and persistence is key. The speech by Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc in ‘the Founder’ sums up persistence well- character flaws aside.

Your style of presentation is fantastic. A great mix of professionalism and casual attitude. It feels like a chat/sit down with a mate, but not in a lazy or lacklustre way. Ignoring negative comments and not giving a shit about other people's judgement is a very important step in life. Other people have no idea what you have been through in your life. The earlier you get your head around this, the better!

[@sjwright2]

This particular video might seem low effort at first glance, but I was genuinely impressed at how few cuts there were-especially considering the lack of a teleprompter. Your ability to speak paragraphs of clear, interesting, well annunciated, umm-free, pause-free, slur-free storytelling at the camera without need of a prompter is remarkable and better than some so-called professionals. Nice one, baldie.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Thanks mate. Don't worry I mess up my lines plenty! Head a few good runs in this one though 👌

[@Cyclingchoice]

You voice has a sense of calmness and authenticity ... I think its really a positive point for you!

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Thanks mate!

[@bennyw9975]

I think your appearance and presentation style are part of your appeal. You are relatable and not pretentious, when watching your videos it is like talking cars with mates… often whilst eating KFC

I subscribed to your channel after seeing that AU Falcon video back in the day. I'm Norwegian, but have absolutely no knowledge of Australian cars. I subscribed due to your high production quality and your funny comments / narration. Keep up the good work!

[@1969Risky]

Another great video Sean. I remember years ago when YT wasn't so strict that there was money to be earned but they've changed the rules etc so other YT channels now find other ways to generate money. I did however consider filming my ute when I was restoring it but other things got in the way & I could not film & do a restoration at the same time. I took plenty of photos & they are elsewhere to be seen. You're right about Aussie cars being under-represented & we do have a unique history which is why we watch them on YT. The biggest cringe I have is Americans when they grab a hold of an Aussie car & try & tell you about the facts, especially in regards with utes. Try & be as factual as possible when you're filming a car. Design, specs etc, just don't rely on one source & make sure it's officially verified. Holden VY & VZ One-Tonner production numbers is a bugbear. It had a short production run by any standard, it came in V6 & V8 as well a AWD V6. An article that appeared in a major Sydney newspaper back in January 2006 gave totals for all V6, V8 & AWD variants of the One-Tonner. The problem was that it was never officially verified by Holden & the author of the article never verified it either. When you online search for One-Tonner production figures, this article is the only one that pops up & everyone takes it as gospel. I know people who have worked for Holden & a couple left that I know that work for GMSV & I've asked them about One-Tonner production figures & all they can tell me officially is that it's low. Holden will only tell you the full production output of each series. I even contacted the author of the article & there was a lot of side stepping from him. Having worked as a copywriter a few lifetimes ago for a few publications, the authors article wasn't written by him but by someone at Holden's PR department for publication for the author to tag his name to it. I found that out later by a contact of mine who worked at Holden & it was a PR nightmare for them for a number of years. Again for anyone, research heavily or you'll get picked on about it. Ask Doug Demuro, he gets everything wrong all the time on his channel cos he can't be bothered to research, but yet his subscribers believe everything he says. As I used to say back in the day..... Facts, not fiction! Everybody here will agree Sean, that you present yourself as a practical, honest, entertaining, authentic person. You do your homework before you film & you're also providing Aussies & overseas viewers a taste of what Australia used to produce. Dad bod, balding or not, you're passionate about the cars you own & there are like minded people out there. I might be a Holden bloke, but it's good to know about Aussie made Ford Falcons & it's derivatives as in the end both companies made automotive history.

[@TAVOTravsDIYGarage]

I see myself very much like you, introverted, dad bod, balding and automotive channel. I feature most of my cars but the main focus is building my VK Calais. I like to make videos of things I would search but not find, so can hopefully help others in the same situation. And the odd “cold start” video. Keep up the good work!

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Good on you for having a go. I'm sure you've helped a lot of people, they don't always leave comments 👍

There is so much to like about this video. Entertaining, informative and authentic. Even if you are not into cars, but want to learn how to get started on your KZbin journey - watch this video!!!

[@MotoringBoxTV]

True, the techniques work for most outdoor filming.

[@allyboy8]

Nice video Sean. Easy and calming to listen to. 👍

[@MeatballGarage]

Fantastic advice Sean! That is some great info about all the fundamentals right there! I have small channels dedicated to two of my passions (Cars and Travel). My two golden rules are 1) I must enjoy the whole process end to end and 2) KZbin and your audience owe you nothing (keep your expectations realistic). You definitely get better by 'just doing it' and in no time the whole process E2E becomes easier. Agree with having thick skin and right attitude towards the comments section - I have been called a S#%T C##T, a hack, a wanker, boring, along with the standard 'your doing it wrong' comments. I use to hate them but now kind of look forward to seeing them so I can have a laugh! Love your work as always, Cheers Marc (Meatball Garage & Marc's Mildly Interesting)

[@OzRetrocomp]

These tips are great for just about any aspiring KZbinr, not just automotive ones. Thanks for the video, Sean!

[@tomhudson1409]

Great video mate, as an ex mechanic, I too have a passion for cars. I’ve always thought it would be cool to share the automotive work I do now in my spare time. However I don’t have a passion for videography, it all seems too technical and time consuming. So for now my work and skills and way of explaining things will go un-observed. Thanks for sharing, and I think your channel is awesome.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

It's definitely hard to learn and get into something which you don't have a passion for. Ideally you'd have have a mate or younger family member who'd give you a hand with it!

[@RossReviewsau]

Bang on mate! i started my channel with my old Iphone 7! i had 0 idea on what i was doing.. if i can do it anyone can.. tuff skin and a huge work ethic is needed! also gotta be willing to self improve and take criticism.

[@ClunieGarage]

Well said Ross Reviews. We started with a Hero 8 and a scrap book of videos we wanted to create. Hats off to you both on the success of your channels.

[@TheLuke2reeve]

I’ve been here since you started mate, I’ve always loved your editing style and just plain and simply your videos mate. Down to the simple interior cleaning videos! I now scrub my carpets and then use a wet and dry vac! Cheers mate! Legend

I’ve watched and 👍 a few MotoringBox videos but they way you said “I really don’t give a shit what anyone thinks” I hit Like and subscribed instantly. Love the confidence and love the content. The occasional mild profanity gives your videos a sense of casual honesty that is like you’d get just chatting to a mate. Plus I’m a Ford man so I love your cars! Keep up the great work, congrats on your success so far. Loved this video, a really selfless and positive way to share your experiences and encourage others.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Thanks so much mate. Comments like these really make the world of difference to people who are starting out too. 1 awesome comment can easily make up for 50 crap ones!

[@jamesgibbins1349]

A way to see if you're going to enjoy doing KZbin as a hobby and be consistent is try doing an instagram account with short 1 shot videos and then upscale to your desire. Still not actually too sure about this one. The concept of it seems to be pretty good.

[@mitchellharding8778]

This is such a quality channel. Really satisying to watch very few cuts and how well you structure your phrasing and roll with it (seemingly naturally). Well done.

[@knight2425]

You have a really good presence in front of the camera, I think if somewhere in the future a company decides to produce another motoring show in this country you definitely are not doing any harm to your chances of applying and being considered for a role also. I don’t know how production companies source hosts but you may want to look further into it if you haven’t already even if it’s not about motoring as you come across just as well if not better than some of the bigger names out there.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Thanks mate. I doubt it would happen, but I'd have a crack at it if they're ever casting

Haha, waiting for your possible videos in the future as your loose lips said, "Sex Toys Motoringbox". Can't wait for that episode :-). As a previous VT Calais owner, now VF Calais, the Commodore episode created tears with your beautiful cinematography and music selections for the VT. The VF is the best last Australian Holden ever built and am happy I got one, but I still sometimes miss the VT which was, the best selling Holden after the HQ?

Hats off to ya mate for perservering. a) You're a decent looking bloke (and I'm NOT that way inclined 😁) b) You speak well....so well that even a Yank can understand you...... unlike the Ocker Aussie. c) What you say is interesting and doesn't sound scripted. And most amazingly, unlike Jay Leno who can do 1,000 videos with 1,000 different cars, you're working with just 2 cars. Keep it up mate. Back in 2013ish I started my channel (chevy resto) and had very few views, and just like you said, one day it just took off. BUT....my mistake however was clicking on my own ads on my videos thinking i would fraudently boost income by doing this. Then google picked up on what i was doing and i was demonetized since 2014. Since 2014 my views went from hundreds to thousands and i will never earn a dime.....Doh!

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Good advice.. don't ever try and pull the wool over Google's eyes! They've seen everything before and they're ready.

[@pangaute]

Mate, your selling yourself short, there aren't many people that are 'watchable'. You also have well researched content. People can instinctively see through BS and patronising tools. It takes more than sleeve tattoos and 'merch' to make a good channel

[@electriccarcafeatevolution4319]

Well done fella.. lots of relatable advice.We’ve just started actively growing our channel and some of our latest videos haven’t done as well as we would have liked. The last video we listed was all about an electric DeLorean so I guess we need to wait for the YT algorithm pick it up?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

The thumbnail looks good, but the video title may need work - it doesn't contain the word Tesla for a start. Get as many keywords into the title and use as many of the 100 characters as you can (without it sounding ridiculous) as this tends to make a big difference. If you're ever at a loss as to why a video might not be doing well, take another look at the title and also the thumbnail.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Not that I am the title master, but if it were me I would go with something like: "Tesla Powered DeLorean EV Project Introduction - Converting a DMC DeLorean to Electric Drive"

[@electriccarcafeatevolution4319]

MotoringBox Excellent! Many thanks.

[@brainsmatterpodcast]

I really enjoy your channel. My dad had an EA Fairmont (which was a much better car than critics would have you believe - mechanically anyway, body quality left a bit to be desired) after being a Cortina family for years! As far as video production, I'm going fairly easy - started with iMovie but have moved to Adobe Premiere Pro, but it's early days after being audio only for years (as a podcast). I'm looking at DaVinci Resolve but it looks very complex. Here's to fellow Aussies doing shows (video or audio!)

[@ClunieGarage]

Thanks for the tips mate and will definitely take them onboard. I have really struggled with getting good quality automotive audio into my videos so will look into the solution you recommended. Do you find editing difficult by synching up the voice recording with the video as they come from different sources?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

It's just an extra step, you get used to it. Some software has the ability to sync the tracks automatically. I typically just clap loudly so you hear it on both, and then use that as a marker to line them up manually.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Just checked a few of your videos - in the garage the audio is actually pretty clear! Do you just have issues when driving?

[@ClunieGarage]

@@MotoringBoxTV ah awesome, a clap marker would do the trick rather than trying to lip synch! Yes the garage and how to videos are all good, it just when we are out in the wind at the race track and inside the cabin when the car is on full noise. We have also tried to do out of car shots with the Go Pro mounted on the roof and quarter panels for example but the wind noise just kills the videos. Awesome channel mate and love your explanation about how the algorithm grabbed your earlier Fairlane video. We had a similar experience with a video that suddenly got 70k views but not 200k+. The AI in the algorithm is seriously clever and constantly changing.

[@jedixo]

what is the trick to your panning shots when you're driving where the camera will pan from the road to you? is that a mount and how is it controlled?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

I use a GoPro MAX 360 camera to achieve those shots - but as awesome as it looks, I don't really recommend it and decided not to talk about it in this video. In a nut shell, it is difficult to use, saves HUGE files (around 32GB for every 8 minutes of footage) and requires a very quick PC with a fast SSD to edit effectively. Even with an i7 10700k, 64GB of RAM and a Samsung EVO 970 SSD it struggles. So for the average person starting out it would probably be the most frustrating thing in the world.

[@benjaminstein1692]

Great video, very insightful. One question. Time, how much do yiu you spend on it from idea of video to uploading?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

It depends on the video, but it is more time than most people realise. I just filmed a video replacing a particular part on my car and it took me around 4 hours. Editing time will be the same again if not more.

[@damonlangley6615]

Hey Sean! This might not be a question that you can answer, but how do you find inspiration, ideas or content? I've wanted to start an auto blog or a youtube channel for ages now, apart from a few owner reviews on car advice I've kind of hit a dead end. I'm not terribly mechanically minded, I'm not Mark Webber and I can't afford a new flood damaged Ferrari every month to make content with. You've developed a really cool idea and overall theme for your channel. Did that just come naturally? Thanks for this video as well, it makes it seem so much more simpler than one would think it would be!

If you're not continually looking at different cars, you'd have to be willing to learn how to work on them starting out with simple tasks like oil and filter changes. To be honest I am not mechanically minded either, but having this channel threw me in the deep end and forced me to try and learn more to make content. I do plenty of things wrong and some may criticise that, but there's a lot of other people at my skill level or below who want to learn the same thing, so that's kind of nice. The only other thing you can do with cars is travel places, so there's that too.

by doing almost the exact opposite of what you say for around 5 years I have made a border line successful you tube channel haha

Content is king in the end.

Enjoy your videos, abit of fun and interesting so keep going 👍 on the other hand l do reviews on small cars slot cars starting out any hints 🤔 cheers

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Looks good mate. As you go I'm sure you'll find ways to improve. I would take a look at getting some lighting so you can really light the cars up bright, and maybe get creative with the background or even the turntable itself. Keep it up!

I used to be a youtuber back in 2012 to 2015. Thinking about giving it another go. Thats why i was asking what go pro you used.... i am currently restoring a 1986 ZL Fairlane which might intrest people.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

I’d be interested to see that

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Shit yes - throw a video up introducing the car in it's current condition and send me a link

[@martyburgess341]

I am thinking of doing tech stuff on my channel. I hoping I can get a start soon. Marty Burgess.

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Yup, you don't know until you try. And after the first video you'll spot 10 things you could do better next time. And then the same thing will happen next time and the time after that. Before long you'll start getting into the swing of things!

@@MotoringBoxTV Thanks mate! Much appreciated! I will keep you informed.

Hi another great video, other than Australia, where do most of your subscribers and viewers come from?

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Vast majority are within AU. But the USA, UK and NZ all make up about 15% together.

[@jasongarufi8187]

From knitting to sex toys. I might go out and knit myself a willy warmer. Awesome channel, keep up the excellent work

Interesting video! I liked it 👍 I wonder what Dr Freud would say about "knitting" and "sex toys"?😅
