I would like to make youtube videos to learn from and to gain experience. I’ve thought about movie recaps but i was told its overdone or done too much. What im most afraid of is possible burnout.
But what do you think or advise?
I just saw one that was more than an hour long. Why? If you recap something running for 90 minutes with a feature nearly as long, you’ve misunderstood what a recap is.
Are movie recap videos overdone
Yes. Why’s that a question?
First of all, if you are trying to make money then lower your expectations, many current Youtubers are struggling to continue to do YT full time.
If it’s just for fun, then go for it
ManOfRecaps is like the only good one out there. There’s plenty but it’s AI generated or uses a voice synthasizer. So overdone yes, overdone well no.
It depends what your goals are. Just for fun and training? Why should it matter if the content is derivative and overdone.
Even if you do perfect orginale content it doesn’t guarantee success.
If you want to to do recaps you should look at what you can add to make it more unique, like jokes or animations.
Burnout usual (not always) come from the expectations that every video will perform better, which is amplified if you are depending on it for you rent and food.
Only start the channel if you’re going to bring something to it that nobody else does. If you’re just planning on summarizing a movie in 3 minutes, yeah it’s been done, but if you’re adding jokes or other content to the summary, then go for it!
