Inspirations
About Me
Hi! My name is Iistener and I have been an avid gamer since I was 3 years old playing on the SNES/N64 and I've been consuming content on YouTube since 2008. From various let's players, skit and gaming creators, anime-tubers to League streamers I later fell down the the rabbit hole of HOLOLIVE and NIJISANJI in early 2020 watching Rushia and Kanae. My passion for content creation is deeply inspired by a large majority of these creators.
In my spare time I read manga, watch streamers, exercise, play Gacha games such as Honkai: Star Rail or Genshin Impact and play MMOs (FFXIV & Lost Ark Online).
Below are a couple featured role-model editors and inspirations for content creation.
Pinoy
The SMT-Persona and turn-based RPG savant himself. I first got to know him through his edits on Yassuo's YouTube channel and continued to watch only to see more of his editing style-- his complete take over of Persona game assets and memes is truly a work of art. I can't help but smile whenever I see his signature intro on videos.
Various Clippers
The unsung heroes of the Vtubing community who helped share the joys of live anime idols for western audiences, myself included. If not for these passionate fans bringing subtitled translations to a myriad of fans of different cultures, the western audience base would be a whole lot smaller I believe.
Ignoring the few bad apples in the community, the highlights and clips created by all of these wonderful clippers has brought many of us anime fans together through the enjoyment of all of the amazing talents. Much love and appreciation for every single hardworking clipper who wants to share their Oshis.
DunoisKR
Renowned video editor & YouTube manager for OfflineTV. Dunois consistently delivers on the large scale multi-perspective content that OTV and wow does he deliver. Brings out the best out of each everyone's personality and always adds a tasteful amount of jokes. During the few times he streamed his editing process it was eye-opening for me to learn from his experience and the amount of time he puts into each. Wish he streamed more but I understand why he's unable or doesn't want to.
Mudan
I can't help but always be blown away by the workload by some of the editors and their persistence to get videos and projects out in well-done fashion. At this point with how many well-produced videos there are I shouldn't be but, Mudan in particular with his extravagant use of assets and visual effects in especially Joeys' videos always felt right. A good amount of not over editing while still adding necessary flavour.
Wowzald
Randomly stumbling across this video in my recommended amidst my exploration of Japanese music which truly opened my eyes to the potential of well-done close captioning. The caption work itself added an immense amount of value to my enjoyment of an already well-produced video and it single-handedly inspired me to want to pick up CC work. It's helped me appreciate accessibility features done right. I wanted to share this video everywhere and I wanted to see more of this style of captioning done more because it's just mind-blowingly clean.
Otriggad
DisguisedToast's YouTube Editor. Similar to Dunois, they consistently cut together segments from multiple perspectives in a digestible, entertaining fashion.
The best example of their work I can think of is from the Hide and Seek Apex Tournaments that Toast hosted wherein it featured over 70+ streamers, in which they cut together highlights from hundreds of hours of stream footage from almost every streamer. The quality of Toasts' YouTube videos are all outrageously consistent and amazing; Otriggad is a GOAT.
