Suggestions on finding YouTubers who want to collaborate?
hi tildes,
i’m an audio/video editor and want to work with youtubers (for free, probably). does anyone have any suggestions on where i can find people who either already have a channel and need help or folks who want to start a channel?
i found a subreddit for new youtubers (and their discord server) but it seems to be largely populated with folks who just want to do gaming-related things. to be clear, i’m not 100% against that or anything — i’ve watched some fun gaming stuff before — but i’m more interested in long-form content or even experimental/arthouse stuff.
one suggestion i’ve read was to search youtube itself for this but i struggled finding anything recent and in the realm of things i would be interested in doing.
has anyone noticed anywhere around the web people asking for editors/collaborators for non-gaming content? or does anyone here want help? i think i recall at least one tildes user posting one of their long-form history-related videos.
I’ll start off with some unsolicited advice: don’t offer your help for free. It devalues your work & can devalue others’ as well.
Secondly, I want to create some experimental short videos in December/January, but not for YouTube necessarily. I need them in order to promote an event that I’m organising. If you want to help with editing them, you can DM me.
Finally, perhaps you can share some of your edited works in this thread for me & others to see.
It is not directly what you want, but maybe if you offer your services on Fiverr you might be exposed more to YouTubers looking for editors?
Edit:
Do you have a YouTube channel yourself with demo material? At the very least I feel like you should have something like that at hand. Possibly use it as a place to put on experimental edits and all sorts of stuff. Basically, become a bit of a Youtuber to advertise your work and possibly attract the attention of some actual youtubers.
