How to make YouTube videos the BEST way! (the D.W.E.E.B. method)

[@RetroGameCorps]

Great video, it was awesome to see a bit behind the veil! We have similar approaches but I don't write scripts, which fools me into thinking I will be faster but it generally takes longer in the end. The efficiency of your narrative does make me want to experiment more! Thanks for putting this together.

[@TechDweeb]

Haha ain't that the truth. I've done that many times. "I'll just film a quick off the cuff video oops it's 2h time to spend 7 hours trimming it down". :P

[@702johnny]

Your turn @RetroGameCorps. Show us what goes on behind the scenes.

[@ajpenninga]

We all know this comment was just made to throw us off your alter ego. Nice try guys!

[@X862go]

Wait, seriously, you don't write a script 😳. Your videos are so indepth I would think you wrote an 8 hour book 😅

[@WiiThing]

Wow Dweeb, Even the guys who drink rootbeer out of a cup follows you!!

[@danielhulan3058]

TechDweeb, I think its speak for many people when I say, your not like other "content creators". You're a director, actor, writer, producer, and any other production player for many filmed content. I love how you have created a persona that us viewers enjoy watching and learning from. You deserve millions of subs because the quality of your content and your number will eventually reflect that. Please keep doing this. As long as you keep making videos, I'll continue being a techdweeber.

[@TechDweeb]

You just made my day buddy. Thanks for that

[@mercyblack0101]

👏🏻💯 This!

[@danielhulan3058]

@TechDweeb no need for thanks. I was speaking the truth. Even if I have no intention on buying anything in your videos, it is still entertaining to watch. I love the idea of a behind the scenes view of how you create videos. I will say, I think you might be a root beer-aholic. At least it's diet. Also, if you think you can control your rootbeer use, then it's not a problem.... right? 😆 lol

[@potatuue]

very well said, def agree with this

[@chillpilldoc3782]

Here for the rootbeer count. Pretty sure he smashed past 6-pack range but lost track on the first viewing. Awesome video and as a dweeb with a dream, this is a big help and inspiration!

[@CheapOneLiners]

That's 9 root beers with a combined volume of 108 fluid ounces, so T.Dweeb's fuel efficiency is roughly 3,500 words per US gallon. You want to hear about his emmissions? Yeah, you do.

[@TechDweeb]

I'm in Canada, can you convert that to metric?

[@CheapOneLiners]

@@TechDweeb I'm also a Canadiorian, but I'll be happy to oblidge, my good dweeb: One US gallon = 3 + 1/8th Timmy's large (milk no sugar), which of course is just shy of 2 wineskins. One ounce is more or less a flagon, but only if you have enough of them. Put all that into a mukluk, and by gum you've got yourself a fair bit of fluid. Your Canadianananaioritism efficiency, then, is around eleventy fivish per 100 Labbatt 50s (stubby bottles). Hope that clears things up.

[@nickentros]

@@CheapOneLinersthat’s aboot the most Canadian thing I’ve ever read

Thanks so much buddy

[@markalexander5578]

I was upset when I woke up. My bed beat me up last night. This happens a lot when you are over 30. But Tech Dweeb posted a video. It will still be a good day. Also, you solely keep A&W in business.

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

Unless you have some genetic trace pointing to it, you'll shouldn't even has any white strand in your beard (if you has any bear at all); think 30ies are hard? just wait a couple more years for the 40ies and 50ies if you not live in a place where life expectation is around 70ies, but they kill you systematically as soon as you stop to need dippers, so you can reach the wooden jacket before the end of your sour teenaging years... hehe

I love the intro of the music before you start the video it's awesome and I love all your videos to and Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🌲🎁🕹🎮

[@TechDweeb]

Haha thanks buddy!

[@davidclement5665]

@TechDweeb you're very welcome Tech Dweeb and I hope you have a good Christmas 🎮🕹🎁🎅🎄🌲☕

[@nesnahprotsdam]

Honestly, I don't think anyone would mind "deep dive" videos once in a while where you don't do as much cutting/editing, but rather have a longer video where you just gush about something. A lot of us are fellow dweebs after all and your videos are cozy as heck. Just a suggestion 👍🏻

[@VladNerd]

As a small KZbinr still pretty much winging it and constantly trying to find ways to edit faster (took me 6 days per vid with the first vids, it was painstaking), this video is just pure gold, TD. I've always wondered how you do it, since your vids are super well made and I've never understood how you make them so well and fast at the same time. Thanks for sharing this. How you don't burn out for at least 2 days after such a production flow, is beyond me. I almost always need a bit of time to recharge after each vid. Keep it up, my awesome Canadian friend. ❤

[@TechDweeb]

Haha yeah, early on it used to take me ages to edit, before I learned all the little time saving tricks. I think the reason I don't burn out is because I love this. Every step of the process is as fun to me as anything else I do for fun. That's why I feel lucky that I get to do this every day :D You should make a vid like this some day!

[@grahammusk6842]

Great video. Loved finding out how you did this and would really like to see the other behind the scenes videos - editing and thumbnails.

[@RetroGamerDesigns]

Super fascinating to see how much time, effort and root beer goes into the making of a TechDweeb video !! Thanks for sharing.

[@DRH-km4hk]

Mad respect on sharing the behind the scenes and explaining stuff, living up to the name of TechDweeb indeed.

[@DG69GOD]

I've always wanted to be a KZbinr and then I watch vids like this and I'm reminded that it takes a lot of actual work to create well-made vids like yours. thanks for crushing my dreams!!

[@TechDweeb]

Some youtubers don't put much work in and they still make good content. I don't think it matters how long it takes to make a vid, as long as you're able to make something people want to watch you'll be good.

[@Allanrpsx]

even having edited some videos myself, I often forgot how seriously intensive and time consuming the process is. Seriously impressive what you are able to accomplish and the quality of your product

[@asmariamoon]

So taking the root beer jokes at face value, that'd mean you as an individual, go through a 12-pack every two or three days. Seriously though, I loved this little look behind the scenes. I always love the stories you weave into your videos, whether it's like the one about getting your first NES, or just "How does this doodad compare to all the other doodads you can get?"

[@baldlyrudy]

This is super inspiring! I appreciate the BTS video on your process. I wish I would script more than I already do. Thanks for sharing TD!

[@TheMrDShowVN]

I've been following your channel for a long time. And yes, I enjoy watching every video of yours.

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks for saying so!

[@TheMrDShowVN]

@TechDweeb Yeah, I really mean it. Watching your videos give me some strange energy, and it's inspirational. I got a small gaming channel too (not this one), and that energy might help me utilitze my contents. Thanks for showing us love

[@MundoUnboxingGames]

I'm from Brazil, and I also make videos about handhelds and retrogaming, and you are one of the biggest references for me! I love your unique style. It's great to see the processes you use in your videos, thanks for sharing with us!

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy! That means a lot to hear :)

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

@MundoUnboxingGames Your videos also are amazing for how you bring tips and show really what all these most time portable eletronics can do in our home language, friend! You two and some others turned into the few i keep watching for new content cause, different of many in this platform, you are the real stuff!

[@MundoUnboxingGames]

@ 😍🫶

[@Mugen_Pascal]

Hi T.D., You’re truly a source of inspiration. I sincerely admire how "transparent" you are-it’s clear that you’re deeply passionate about handhelds, but all the lore you've created around it's amazing When I watch one of your videos, it’s not just “Oh, cool, another handheld review.” It feels more like discovering a new chapter in the TechDweeb story! It took me a long time to finally launch my own French KZbin channel, but you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations. I’m still working on finding my own style, as I’ve only been doing this for six months and am juggling it with my full-time job. Thank you for everything you share-you’ve had a real impact! Pascal

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks so much buddy. And congrats on your channel! It looks like you're having lots of fun, stick with it and you'll do great

[@ArifDiamanta]

Thank you for made this video. One of the best no bullshit youtube tutorial.

I appreciate this video… my brother sent it to me, and… really, it’s comforting to know we have similar processes for making our videos (even though our videos are very different types from each other.). Thanks for sharing!!! It really is the storytelling that makes a good video… and your stories and humor are pitch perfect. ☺️

[@Bits-n-Bytes1409]

Thanks for sharing TechDweeb. Its nice to see all the effort you punt into your videos for us all to see. You sir are awesome. And a TD video of 30 minutens once in a while, ill definitly will watch those as well 😁

[@litnxt_official]

Thank you a lot for putting so much effort and time into making amazing videos! :D

[@LunaTrooper]

Your video revealed how much you care about the details, and this extra effort you put in sets you apart from other youtubers, regarding art and visuals. And also that your videos are not only about the device / toy / doodad? that you present, but also give you room to live out yourself and have some fun. I finally gave in and subscribed. Oh and i found the secret detail in your video.

[@exodous02]

13:51 I used to make videos but gave up because no one was watching but the part of you uploading makes me want to try again. Also, it is nice to see you're a human being and use dark mode. Boggles my mind watching other videos that show this and they just use the default blinding eye cancer causing default settings.

[@TechDweeb]

I LOL'd at the eye cancer thing 🤣

[@RedBeardRetroTech]

Hey techdweeb, I just subbed. Not usually a fan of the content, but the humor and information here made me a fan. Thanks for the content ❤ I look forward to your future vids and I genuinely appreciate this information. Thank you🙏

[@TechDweeb]

I really appreciate hearing that. Thanks buddy!

[@potatuue]

I’ve always wanted to make videos on yt, not to be a youtuber but just to make videos about things I want to share with the world. It really sounds fun and when I discovered your channel that idea became more appealing. Your videos are a lot of fun man. I wish to do the same when I’m done with college. Thanks for this G!

[@TheAshkroth]

Techdweeb i love your videos, everything about them are amazing and they grab my atention to the fullest. i wish i could have some of those handhelds you feature hehe its a little hard here in Mexico, i have a few friends that are intrested in retro gaming and i showed them your vids and now they are about to make their very first retro gaming handheld purchase thanks to your advice, you make great work and your takes are honest we can feel the love for retro gaming in your videos. i hope for the very best for you my friend.

I just bought my first compuper in over 14 years and I got it so I can run the newest Kinhank 12tb drive you made a video of. I used the link in the description and the $40 off discount code from the video. If it weren't for the information you provide in various videos I never would have felt confident enough to do this. Thank You Tech Dweeb, if I lived nearby I would cook a nice meal for you and your house members. 😄👍

Oh man I'm happy and proud of you my favorite Dweeb, cause this type of video is kind of mandatory for every succesful youtuber does(at least I see a trend I guess). If you ever doubted your success, don't do this anymore, we would watch you even if you speaked for 2 hours about adventure time and how root beer can cure deceases.

[@Chimaira555]

What an absolute gem of a channel, keep it up Dweeb!

[@poiXquared]

Back in 2015 I used to save up my extra allowance to buy a Sony A6000 to upgrade my then-new Sony NEX F3. Fast forward to 2024 I still never got my hands around the A6000 due to changing priorities and I still am satisfied with my F3 and still have it today. Glad to see you making use of an almost decade-old camera and still producing very nice and cozy footage. Like how I set up my subjects for shoots back then. I also notice you're still using the stock kit lens on the thing, not that it's bad I mean it's versatile because it can go wide or zoomed in but you can pick up a lens adapter and old used/vintage lenses from other manufacturers for more creative potential especially for b rolls. I got a 50mm F1.8 manual lens from Nikon on my F3 for portraits and I still love it. And my friend has a vintage Soviet era lens on his A6000 and we used to do photo walks around the city. Awesome kit.

[@JavierIAcuna]

This was pretty cool dude, would absolutely love to see the one for the thumbnail and the one for editing.

[@Retroborgen]

Awesome! Fun to see other youtuber's workflow. You always have a very visual and coherent look in your videos so it's really interesting to see how you set everything up and the thoughts behind. Great work, Dweeb!

[@TragicAyk]

One thing I noticed when I started watching your videos is how immaculate your hands and fingernails look. Really adds a lot to the video quality. Do have a few questions though: 1. How do you manage disk space? Do you have several HDDs or do you just upload to KZbin then delete the material from your local drives? 2. How often do you have to take pee breaks when filming? You seem to drink around 14 gallons of Root Beer per day. 3. Isn't it called "bee roll" considering everything is black and yellow? 4. How did you film the segment showing your Sony Camera for filming when you show your Sony Camera filming? 😱😱

[@TragicAyk]

Also 12:27 sandal reveal

[@TragicAyk]

To answer question 1: Mentioned in video "My BEST Content Creation Tech!" 1TB of NVMe storage for videos he's currently working on, 8TB HDD as video archive

[@TechDweeb]

You know what's funny? Before I started my channel my fingernails were always gnarled because I chewed them. Once I started making vids I started taking care of my hands. Doing youtube cured me of my bad habit! 1. I have a 12tb hard drive for backup storage of my source files, which is only 8gb full. I'll get another when it's full. A typical project file is about 30-40 GB. 2. Adult diapers 3. Yes 4. That was filmed with my phone. That's why the quality of some of the video footage in this one isn't up to my usual standards.

[@TechDweeb]

@@TragicAyk You caught me!

[@TragicAyk]

@@TechDweeb Man I'm glad you got rid of that nasty habit! To be honest I didn't even see a difference in quality at all. My eyes are getting worse + phone cameras are getting better every day.

It's amazing how much you can do with so little but tons of creativity - it's already a lot, but still little simple things - , which mirrors into really funny stuff! Many not-dweebs with access to higher tech and techniques and personal can't reach so outstandish results, even having a big crew working full steam behind their shenanigans... thats why i'm again giving another try to YT videos for entertainment with guys (considering TD are really a guy, but lets not be sexists and understood that i'm also including gals when mention "guys") as Techdweeb, Russ, Adin, Joey, Vlad and some other fnot english speakers that show content in my mother language, or not even need to say a word, cause the content speak for itself - but Linus from LTT still hit some good points sometimes. hehe Keep the good work and take easy in that root beer, my virtual friend!

On Amazon it says your camera is worth about 2000 bucks. I'm looking to do puppet builds and I'm wondering if you could recommend a somewhat cheaper version that is still 'ok'. I really like the desk shots but I'm wondering if I need that caliber of camera or is that mostly to capture the details on the handhelds. Most of my captures are going to be scissors and glue.
