Watch a Segment of My Elitism Video
🕑 Added 2022-01-24 18:23:42 +0000 UTCHey all, as I mentioned before, this video is quite massive in scale and will take a good bit more time to create. While you are waiting, I thought I would share a few sections in advance, beginning with this one. It is a short section that occurs mid-way through the video.
It also gives you a small insight into the structure of the video, which is comprised of lots of smaller, self-contained parts, stitched together by a common theme. Each part touches on a different aspect of elitism and gives more context for the next part.
This part I'm sharing is quite polished, although there is grading and sound mixing work to do. I'm curious to hear your thoughts and suggestions about the production & delivery.
Apart from that, I hope you don't mind waiting while I continue putting this jigsaw puzzle together. It has been a crazy amount of work (even sourcing all the footage for this one little section was a tough task). I'm not a fan of making massive videos too often because I feel it leaves everyone waiting around for far too long. However, the result will easily be two or three videos worth of material. More updates (in video format) coming soon!
Thanks a lot!

This is so important Martin! Important to me at least, I mean that genuinely! This might just be the greatest YouTube video of all time! 🤣

It is murky. There is a general liberal use of footage on YouTube that most people just hope to get away with. Some copyright holder (such as Disney) don't care as long as you stick to short clips. Generally, you try to avoid getting in trouble by using clips shorter than 5 seconds. Without sound is much better. Often content ID will catch numerous parts in a video prior to publishing (which everyone agrees is a useful system and YT encourage it). Once you have resolved all those issues, you are broadly good. However, 1. it can happen that you get snagged by content ID much later (even years later) as new footage gets added to their system. In that circumstance, you may lose the right to monetise your video. 2. A representative may manually notice that you are using their footage and make a manual claim. This has only happened to me once (Eurovision) but I know it has happened to other a lot more. A good tactic is to stick to older video footage, which is less likely to be carefully looked after. Keep away from music videos - especially of the Beatles! There is definitely an element of crossing ones fingers and hoping for the best :)
Thanks for the preview! I really like the cadence of the narration in the "list of lists of the best" segment, and again towards the end. I know the music's had a bit of criticism from other comments, but I think it works especially well at the end of this segment. Question for you: how does using clips from music videos, bits from MTV, photographs you don't own, etc work on a legal level? Is this permitted because your videos are critical or educational works?
