Why Isn't the Corridor Channel Crossing 10 Million Subs? | CorridorCast EP

[@ericgonzales4979]

The framing and setup of the room is farrrr superior now than ever before!

[@NicCrimson]

I like the old framing better

[@TheCaphits]

Disagree. Needs more Sam.

[@NotHasanPiker]

I love that they're in the same frame

[@Triflixfilms]

Have and always will refer to your brand as "Corridor Digital" regardless of the channel.

[@dannywoods17]

Your unhinged video really speaks to the greater film making post realism era from Everything Everywhere All At Once, to Rhett and Links new show. Keep it up!

[@slimefudge]

Young padawan is learning from the master! So much fun listening to the conversation about experiences, matching a laughing and having joy with it ^^

[@carlseiler]

Was just looking forward to another corridor cast.

[@JoestuffOfficial]

The Grand Canyon video was so funny 😂 I absolutely loved it

[@RaiOshynnCat]

I wasn't subscribed, but I am now. Doing my part.

[@gdog5798]

One thing I love about this channel, is that they let everyone who works with them shine, almost reminds me of Conan and his crew when the writers strike happened, both shows are solid and have an amazing cast and crew

[@bobbyr]

Probably the funniest Corridor video to date. Love the edit towards the end.

[@shredmajor700]

Dean is the type of homie to build a pit trap in his backyard then he comes and taunts for days before saving you, just to get that sweet sweet emotionally dramatic reads. Great work! One of the greatest Corridor vids yet.

[@Triflixfilms]

Jumping the Grand Canyon is the best Corridor science video lol.

[@marcuscoquer5958]

I had no idea you did a podcast! I know what I am using as radio for a while now.

[@harrisonmudge]

That Grand Canyon video was brilliant! I honestly couldn’t stop laughing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@brokenstudiotv]

I'm about to do some boring rotoscoping work, so this episode couldn't have come at a better time.

[@genrerahul]

Hey how did you add that rotoscoping link. It's helpful.

[@brokenstudiotv]

@@genrerahul I have no idea, I just wrote “rotoscoping”. What does the link lead to?

[@genrerahul]

@@brokenstudiotv it was leading to shorts related to rotoscoping

[@TrueDemonLordRimuruTempest]

40:06 ‘See one, do one, teach one’ is a saying used in the book/ audiobook/ tv series ‘This is going to hurt’ by Dr Adam Kay describing life as a surgeon in the NHS

[@Levi_Zacharias]

My 3D school experience is exactly what niko mentioned briefly, of the software flexibility and quickly learning ui. We would model something in maya and zbrush, hop to Marvelous for some cloth, uv unwrap it in houdini, texture it in painter, render it in unreal, edit the render in resolve. in addition to jumping between Unity and Unreal for development. Then my first industry job was 3 months of training, then only living in maya. The ability to jump between UI's and camera controls is vital.

[@Sumaleth]

Corridor video idea: a challenge for everyone to do the Blender Donut tutorial in their own tool of choice, and who can make the "most satisfying" donut animation?

[@johnnycher]

OMG, Niko at the end with the Zucc comment. I love it. You guys are the fucking best.

[@ProgrammedAttempts]

Yeah that little bonus was a nice touch.

[@najibzulkafli5820]

Corridor Channel just crossed 10 Million Subs!

[@GewoonGw]

Yeah I still call it corridor digital. Also love the idea to let the team create shorts to boost the channel and give them a great incentive to make them great! I'd love to have the competition of it in videos within a few months or so

[@elijahsutherlin5280]

The best way to get that channel to 10M in my opinion would be to do a Crew react to their own VFX episode of your old videos, could be Sam Niko and Wren. 2nd best would be to start your own tik tok, love or hate it, it blows things up.

[@zeroheromw]

Would like to point to the Pirate Software channel for a strategy on Shorts. He basically says that they chose not to send notifications to subscribers because the algorithm would then offer the Short to nonsubscribers. He explains it better than I can.

[@SirWrender]

Haha I saw that too, but when we tried it it BOMBED hard!

[@CaptC96K]

Love the podcast. Sorry never watch shorts. Already subscribed

[@Thirsty555]

14:20 Hearing that the math doesn't really add up...I feel it should have been a Corridor channel video

[@Covenant-R]

Speaking of subscribers, I've been following for a while, how long, had no idea really since its mostly the crew channel, but was looking for something in one of my playlists and came across an old video I haven't seen in a while, and then I realise it's an old corridor video, 12 years old to be exact, shocktroppers, which might have been the first corridor video I saw. So looked at the making of and everybody is so young...

[@Maikigai]

Put billboards around town. “Local business needs subscribers. Support your local economy!” You could also run it as a contest, “New subscribers can win chance to be in a future project!”

[@ConnorHammond]

Captions are good because I often can't use audio when I'm having a quick scroll through socials. Loops are great because they're clever, and you'll get more viewing time from a bunch of people.

[@sniper44x]

Every time i come back to watch a video it makes me subscribe again as if it doesnt register

[@bioburden]

Love the new podcast guys

[@JustTheInformationPlease]

Y'all should make that light in the middle a color like purple, blue, or green. It's a bit bright

[@rickveerman8576]

150 till 10 mill🎉🎉🎉

[@Matt.Walker]

oh no lip sync :-(.... anyone looking to increase their render times should try sheep it its a community based render farm so its free il you play your part

[@stickyblicky11]

One thing about the shorts is to check the box that hides them from subscribers feeds because if people dont click on them it affects the algo negatively and also people dont like getting spammed with shorts.

[@RangerMcFriendly]

Just subbed to that channel so there’s one more for y’all

[@ANIMATIONNOW11]

How do you guys hire someone for your team? What kind of skills does someone need to join or apply ?

[@domak1645]

I can't believe I wasn't already subscribed to the main channel 😮

[@rainieralcazar7486]

My reaction while watching the Grand Canyon video was "Why did Wren let this inaccuracy slide?" Then I remember it was not Wren's video Lol

[@copordrop]

The entire tone of Jordan's video from start to end was a constant reminder that it was meant to be silly, a huge tonal gap from most of Wren's videos... I had no trouble separating the two from the start

[@HarshSharmaMetal]

I didn't even knew about the corridor channel. I thought the corridor crew was the original channel :O

[@MrMurkosullivan]

I just want you guys to know... when I was watching the car Jump video, it did occur to me when the ramp appeared, how incredible it looked, and in particular the layout of the support struts. I think if you hadn't fixed it, the whole shot would have been worse.. Not bcasue of nitpickers, but because subconsciously it would have felt more 'fake.' Because we know what supports look like. Well played Wren.

[@quntface1518]

Interesting thing about the shorts, I have another channel (with a few thousand subscribers) and decided to release a couple of shorts made from my old videos and I even unchecked the "Publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers" so as not to just be showing my subscribers what they've already seen and I still lost a few subscribers immediately after.

[@Iaceflow]

After effects is the coolest. The Learning curve depends on the person. 20 year user here and we all want fast renders so we could get more creative time

[@SubhanArchived]

Dude Jordans so awesome

[@D-Arora]

An idea for Wren's Gallium Terminator: What if you split the face mould in half and shoot the footage in reverse with a heated bar. That way as you're pulling it through the back of the head to the front there might be more time for the Gallium to heat up and melt.

[@Aegis_Mind]

Man I remember going into college on Saturdays and having almost 30 computers working on shots out of Maya that involved fluid simulations.

[@JoshJackson]

1:30 how do you miss Wren's amazing joke

[@ConnorHammond]

lmao losing subs as the end of your shorts competition would be so fucking hilarious. I just belly laughed, thanks Niko!

[@Silvergum]

when you do stuff like the Mythbusters you must remember their motto, failure is always an option the journey is what it's about

[@Alwin_Penn]

To add a personal note in regards to losing subscribers over shorts. I despise shorts with a passion, and I'm clearly not alone in that. Long form content or no content. That said, not dropping my sub or anything, just please don't start focusing on shorts. Kthx

[@isaaccarmona813]

Could use shorts as trailers for other projects, that's how end up finding new channels and end up subscribing. You guys can leave little trails of gold nuggets leaving the audience wanting more. Like a find out what happens next kind of deal. Just a thought.

[@theblackomen]

Is it just me or is the video/audio sync just slightly off?

[@ProgrammedAttempts]

It is, it's throwing me off when I look at it.

[@patrickkumar1055]

I just subscribed !

[@copordrop]

speaking of AE tutorials, "academy of edits" on yt is pretty underrated. top notch quality though

[@thegamedevcave]

on the idea that youtube might push content that uses their newly added features. i have 100% had this theory myself for a while now. they really push shorst, and i dont doubt that, at least at first they'll give a boost to longer shorts when they turn that on. The thumbnail compare feature too, it's relatively new and I dont always use it because, frankly, i can't be asked to come up with 3 thumbnail concepts for simple videos often times. but the videos where i do use it pretty consistently get more impressions and views. Now, is that because they preform better due to me spending more time and effort into these thumbails? probably at least partly... but it really does feel like KZbin pushes these videos out to a wider audience to in order to gather more data on their new features.

[@Sumaleth]

Re shorts: so I have shorts blocked on KZbin but youtube still sends me notifications to say that the channel 'posted something new'. Those notifications are annoying and I can easily imagine it prompting me to unsubscribe at some point, if I didn't know this was is just a short term burst, especially since I'm also a member on the corridor website and usually watch videos there. Just a little context.

[@harry3life]

Oh I thought corridor was gone. I used to watch all their videos but they just disappeared. I'm very surprised they are still going on.

[@jay-ks1ex]

I am manifesting that one day I will work for corridor.

[@TreyHusted]

I hope yo as well!! I used to edit and then I had a kid and sold my PC and haven't been doing any VFX for a couple years 😢

[@Musukinky]

Or you could be the start of the next corridor.

[@lonelylama5222]

They’re a company with a very small amount of employees so it’s hard.

[@glytchd]

KZbin unsubs me from stuff ib watch regular. In fact i just had to resubscribe Who knows what I've lost over the years. It should be illegal to mess with your subs.

[@DarkLeviathan8]

I know its stupid but I subbed to Corridor at 9.99M and I was somewhat hoping to see it move to 10M lmao.

[@sacoboyscinema]

You may want to turn off the setting that sends shorts to subscribers. I've heard that when subscribers dont watch shorts (dead accounts) youtube's algorithm assumes no one likes it and suppresses it. Love the podcast!

[@rneercats4574]

I hope your shorts experiment works out! But short form content is destroying humanity's attention spans. No thank you. Love you guys.

[@LFPAnimations]

I used to think shorts would help my growth on youtube, but I think they may only work for certain types of content. I still get more views with normal videos.

[@deddrz2549]

Idk, I feel like there is less discoverability with the Corridor channel. Heck, when I search corridor on KZbin the results just show Corridor Crew, and I STILL have to search Corridordigital to get the Corridor channel. Also my notifications for new Corridor videos stopped for some reason. Heck, I didn't even know that Niko's portal video went up until I was searching for the Grand Canyon video because I thought it might be on the first channel

[@theoneandonlyYouTuber]

It will.. It will..

[@bsevo]

Some channels crossed 10M subs but are pure 🗑 Even if you do not cross it, you are one of the best channels/teams

[@KING_PHILLIP]

Wow the audio and the video are WAY off 😢

[@JPKloess]

I love Rhett and Link's old sketches and couldn't care less about Good Mythical Morning; like them, your side channel started to become more dominant culturally to the point where people don't even know the main one.

[@MystearicaClaws]

Sorry! I don't watch any youtube shorts, as I can't just add them to my playlist to add to the mix. I used to be able to, but they stopped supporting that a while back. 100% of my intake is long form. At least HALF is an hour or longer (at 2x tbf). I have so many creators I want to support, so I try my best to watch what I can. Plus law tube is streams, so those can be anywhere between 1-7 hours a piece, or even more depending on the gavel-to-gavel trials going on (Johnny Depp, Gweneth Paltrow, Darrell Brooks, etc)

[@Luzarioth]

Can't wait until we live in a World where KZbin Shorts & TikTok are viewed like Smoking is today.

[@geoffwnielsen]

Just make a video that teaches your current subscribers how to convince 30,000 of their friends to subscribe.

[@NSA-admin]

I totally got the whole lost his mind and ignoring the reality thing at the end.

[@slothomatic]

what if rather than a solid Gallium head, you find a way to make a hollow one? That would melt more consistently.

[@atomichaeleditz]

Probably would’ve drove straight through the ramp at those speeds too in the hot rod video😂

[@epidemicstudios]

audio sync is off for YT

[@brianverduin]

I'd bet anything that uploading Big Wick Energy as a short would get those subscribers.

[@ssjenforcer191191191]

I don't know that Shorts really incentivices subscriptions as much. I am still not subscribed to A Guy and A Golden, but I click on every short I see with Teddy.

[@kylejennings819]

im soo glad you noticed that metric with shorts, i personally unfollow/unsub any channel that does shorts premieres or text posts... I got on youtube for videos, not vines, not tiktoks, not status updates or videos that will not be released today... Videos I hate to admit im not subscribed for this reason. but still watch them often.

[@DavidAStubbs]

only send your shorts to non-subs.

[@ronpetersen2317]

🎶Everyone was kung fu talking 🎶

[@adventuresinAI1982]

You have to keep in mind that a lot of your longtime viewers (like myself) can't stand shorts. During the first year of shorts I unsubscribed to a number of channels because I was suddenly getting bombarded by shorts, which I have no interest in, but I eventually I stopped doing that when there was no escape. My solution when it got so bad there was no escape was to look into extensions that hide them.

[@wildexperiense]

46:41 if Wren is trying to get the terminator shot with galium why is he shooting a heat gun at it, rather than heating the small bars of metal to imitate the cell wall. The galium would go through them in seconds, you then throw away the small metal bars or wires you used. Just go below redhot.

[@SirWrender]

Cuz I'm not doing that shot...

[@marcuscoquer5958]

Are you going to continue the shorts competition with the money made going to the winner?

[@mrande913a]

Please change the main Channel back to Corridor digital. I just seached for the Channel too se how close you where to the 10mil and it didnt even show up, just a bunch of random videos

[@SoCalYar]

26:00 I don't see any mice

[@ischeka]

it was on this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqDMqnZ_e7OAZpIsi=dsmbItz6dQCzIUXC&t=1565 at the left

[@anthonyzayas5609]

how about starting with fundamentals of art, such as lighting composition and sketching thumbnails...drawing from observation, understanding color theory

[@SpaceMace31]

less than a minute! what up!?

[@cermmi202]

I could see your long time subscribers leaving after being swarmed by shorts, its just not content they subbed for. I installed extension to remove youtube shorts from appearing in feed because shorts that kept appearing felt more like ads for channels

[@Iamnotsomebody]

You should call it Eat My Shorts.

[@FireJach]

Pro Tip: Shorts are destroying youtube statistics because people arent watching these and as a channel you are getting average less views per a video

[@Stig69]

Maybe Subway will come out with the "Million Sub" and you can get 10 of em

[@nickg77]

Corridor Digital is so much better!

[@VoldakHorasimov]

If you guys get an empty suitcase again instead of the diamond play button I’m gonna laugh sooo hard.

[@Thirsty555]

The audio is out of sync

[@albertohabacucrosales]

the hectic ending saved the video in my opinion it’s cool to have all of wrens videos calculating and giving me real facts but it gets boring just like smartsplaning everything to me isn’t as entertaining as someone losing it coz reality has set in so let’s take it where it’s not supposed to go idk just me lol

[@reilysmith5187]

Here are my tips in general for learning anything new: 1) Start with something you're passionate about and/or with a project in mind you want to make. 2) When learning something new set small goals at first. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good and don't let yourself get stuck at 'only' finishing 90% of the goal but move on to keep making progress. 3) As you learn keep increasing the difficulty of goals. You can't become strong if you just keep dead lifting 10 pound weights, no matter how many repetitions you do. Step up the difficulty for your next goal when you feel you have comfortably achieved your current goal. This way you don't stay stuck at a surface level understanding, but force yourself to obtain a deeper mastery of whatever you're trying to learn. 4) When watching tutorials, always apply them. You can't get any muscles by watching fitness content either. You would need to actually go to the gym. So always emulate the tutorials. But also play around and try to see what happens when you change parameters or make other changes. This way your learning becomes less linear. And if you find certain things do not work when you change them, that's also very valuable to know. 5) Stay consistent with each subject. Try to practice at least every other day to keep the knowledge fresh so you don't stagnate and have to redo most things when you take long breaks. 6) Don't drop it after 3 weeks for something else because you haven't been able to achieve what you want yet. When you feel lost and overwhelmed that's probably a sign of how much you've learned already so far. Stick with it a little longer.

[@ivpt]

Because it peaked 10 years ago

Can you do rhe real scale of the kanto region of pokemon

[@christianalmonrode]

I hate how shorts show up in your subscribed feed. I have un-subed from a few channels that I forgot about once they started uploading those

[@Mugmoor]

What is it about sitting on a couch while on camera that forces people to sit with a crossed leg? I've never seen someone sit this way in real life.

[@brandonsimmonsmedia]

I absolutely HATE shorts. The constant stupid notifications for shorts about videos I've already watched, makes me want to turn off all notifications for a channel. Then I miss their uploads, but that becomes more ideal than numerous shorts notifications that I don't care about nor want to watch in the first place. I come for the fully realized and polished videos that I first enjoyed from your channels. Not Vine/TikTok imitations. Why KZbin is pushing this so hard makes no sense, you're not going to steal people away from TikTok with the censorship differences, among other things, between the platforms. KZbin is literally forcing channels to regurgitate videos that already exist and making them suck, or making short form stuff that already has an established place built for exactly that type of content. KZbin needs to just be KZbin.
