Q: i feel like i need to work on a big project but can't figure out what. i can also create a lot of things like videos, 2d/3d/art/animation, music, etc. and have been releasing it, but i want a bigger audience. i want to create my own 'history of japan' and i mean that as an example of a big project to work on where i can demonstrate my abilities and finally get noticed. how did you figure out that was what you needed to do?
A: my strategy for 'getting noticed' was not to do a huge video first. instead i started by making much smaller videos very quickly, and flooding my website with them, as well as some other sites. after about a year, it started to catch on a little, and then about 6 months later when the audience was much larger, i decided to take the risk and make something much longer. by that time i had much better skills, much more focused procedures, and a large audience. those elements combined made the video release a success
