Hiya, I'm CraftyMattGaming

Heya everyone, I'm Matt from CraftyMattGaming

I've been lurking here for a while now but finally had a moment to sit down and write a post!

I have been wanting to do video gaming related stuff for years but up until recently I've had the means to.  So I've started my channel and taught myself video editing with Sony Vegas from scratch. My main goal is to improve the quality of editing and try to show something new with each video in terms of filming or narrative.

My YouTube is small time at the moment, its a one man operation and all entirely word of mouth. I want to do short reviews, top tens, convention retrospectives and other fun stuff that comes along. The name CraftyMatt comes from a nickname thats a play-on word of my last name. So it kind of stuck. Not to mention too that I have a crap load of ideas to post for my channel.

However, being new to the trade, I'm still getting used to talking to the camera, so over time I'll be improving. Any feedback you guys can provide will help me much more than you think.

As such, I'll be lurking here every now and then and posting when I feel it would contribute. I look forward to seeing where this community goes. You can easily find me on a YouTube Search, but i also have a link to my channel in the signature of my profile!

Heya there Crafty! Welcome to the club. After quickly perusing through your most recent videos I can say you got some good stuff! I really enjoyed your quickies. Keep up the good work, I look forward to whatever else you have coming.

Thanks Joe, that means a lot to hear.

My main goal is to improve with each video. If you compare my Unboxing of Axiom Verge to My Quicky with Nuclear Throne or Siralim, I've come quite a way already in my goal for improving my editing. However, if I was to pick my two most well recieved, it would be my ConBravo 2015 or Siralim (Since the devs found it and emailed me thanking me for making it)

Glad to hear you liked it, my next project is the IndieBox for Nuclear Throne. My scriptwork is done so I'll be recording tomorrow. But probably won't get posted until next week. (50 hr work weeks delaying my time to make YT Vids)

Welcome! Glad to see you here!

I watched your retrospective video and really liked it. Keep at it!

Hey Matt, welcome! I like the flavor of your reviews, might buy Siralim now. Good mix of serious and funny, I'm taking notes

I like your voice. Be careful with reverb in your bedroom; try using a boom or a lavalier if you can. Try not to force jokes or force change your voice. Your editing is consistent and your videos seem to improve over time.
