Well, it's been just over a year since Flarecorp Media was founded! Happy Birthday to us! Woo! It's been really enjoyable and we've gained 61 subscribers in the first year! Hello to all of you and thank you!
The video below explains most of it (it's certainly long enough to not leave much out), but I started this YouTube Channel as an outlet for my video creative endeavors. I've been fascinated by videos and movies since i was 10 and used to steal my parents' camcorder to make little home videos. If there was a video camera in the area, I'd walk in front of it and steal the show. It's just always struck a chord with me.
So after years of playing around, including some serious attempts on my storm chasing website, Unreal Weather, I decided to give it a go. I was happy seeing the quality I could produce with the Drone Christmas Lights video in December 2016, I figured I'd learned enough to at least not put out completely amateur looking stuff.
Along the way, I've been on a journey finding out what I like to make videos of and refining my technique. I've given myself until the end of 2018 to just have fun with it, regardless of subscribers and build up a library of videos of the best quality I can make. After that, I'll decide if I want to put more effort into it as a real business or just continue having fun.
Thank you for being here for the first year. There's some good stuff planned already for the next year. Please subscribe on YouTube so you don't miss out on it. I also put out bonus content on Facebook, so like that page to see all of that.
I'm taking a short 2 week break to recharge my batteries and catch up on somethings, but at the end of January, I'll be right back to work making videos.
Have a Happy New Year!
