My Interest In Content Creation & Digital Media

Besides IT and Cybersecurity , I am also especially interested in Content Creation. I love thinking about beautiful visuals or video Ideas , and bringing them to life . I enjoy the process of creating content and teaching others about new avenues of a topic I’ve learnt about .

For the past few months I’ve refrained from creating content because of work and other commitments, and pushing through to make a video in those times would just reduce the overall quality of my videos . After taking some time away from it , I can clearly think about what I want to really make , and take inspiration and influence from other better creators. Nevertheless, I will make more.

The process can be taxing , but is almost meditative to me. In the beginning I jumped in with no oversight and just started creating the videos on the fly . Which worked great, until I started reaching the ceiling of “winging it” . Then as i got a little better, I started scripting the videos and putting more time into research and fine tuning of the video, creating a thumbnail and script before the video even got made. This draws an interesting parallel to my studies in computer science where my professor Emmet Cooper advised me not to jump into implementation , but plan out the program first , which Is what I do for almost all my videos from now on , even if they might not look it .

For a while , I also delved into digital marketing and branding and it really taught me about company brands and how integral marketing in general is to a business, even one with an existing large customer base. Branding is something I got slightly better at aswell following this endeavour although I have not settled one exact brand image yet for myself , but I am slowly finding a pattern and building on it .

The truth is , there is nothing else more rewarding than creating something worthwhile; whether it be video games, content or software . I intend to make more, help others improve their own content and grow a community in the near future.
