How often do you post? I have been on a hiatus this year due to health reasons, but when in full flow I tend to post once a week. What do you post about and why? I create vlogs in which I tackle issues across three main themes: mental health and wellbeing, social commentary and futurism. What ties them all together is this desire to look at the human condition and identify how our value systems needs to evolve in these exponentially changing times. As someone who has lived and breathed YouTube for 12 years now, it became increasingly clear to me how online video is an excellent vehicle for instigating social change. I therefore feel a responsibility to share these experiences with the world to help those wishing to fight their own causes more effectively. What gear do you currently use to shoot, record, edit and distribute your channel? And how has your tech set-up evolved over time? When I began on YouTube, I would have a basic £30 Logitech webcam that sat on the top of my laptop. Editing was done using Pinnacle Studio on a Windows operating system. As I began investing in better cameras, and thus captured higher-quality footage, I switched to an iMac and used Final Cut Studio. I currently shoot my videos with a Canon EOS 70D DSLR, capture audio with a Rode Podcaster microphone and light my room with two box lights. Editing is conducted on Adobe Premiere Pro.
