since the dawn of youtube there have been many different types of youtubers there have been those that show their face those that never show their face and also some who ask people to subscribe which i mean i'm just saying we're almost at NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN now but in NUMBER_TOKEN something new happened we started to see a lot of youtubers flooding youtube with the rising popularity so now it's NUMBER_TOKEN and i wanted to try something new once again but instead i ended up doing the equivalent of putting a fancy paper bag on my face and it's kinda creepy so then why did i do this how did we get here well since i started doing youtube i've been in the crowd of those who don't show their face doing a face reveal has been a scary thought for me because i'm not really sure how it would affect my day-to-day life so instead i opted to just make videos where the highlight of the video is the content itself and not necessarily me but earlier this year i mentioned in a video that i want to start streaming which i still haven't really done yet most streamers that i watch show their face on screen and it becomes a big part of their content since this was out of the question for myself i started looking into other options earlier this year i considered trying to do something similar to code miko she uses a motion capture suit and some facial recognition software to animate a character model on screen to me this seemed really cool it was just as expressive as any other streamer that shows their real face wanting to try it out for myself i looked more into it and found out that it was really really expensive all of the cheaper alternatives were still pretty pricey and people in my audience didn't really seem to be that into it in the first place so i just dropped it entirely i didn't give another thought about it until much later when i rarely decided you know what maybe wearing a helmet would be pretty cool i figured that there were already a lot of people who wear something like this like marshmallow dead mouse and daft punk but the only problem that i saw at the time was that these people were all music producers whereas i'm a game developer so naturally i looked to see if there were any game developers who did something crazy like this and to my surprise there actually was some of you may have heard about the near franchise in both the original near and near automata there's a character named emil due to circumstances in the games he ends up with a unique appearance with a circular head and an unsettling smile now let's look up the creative director behind the near franchise yokotaro despite seeing a grown man wearing a really creepy match to cover his face my brain decided yeah this seems like a great idea and i decided to try it myself i didn't know how to make it myself and i don't own a NUMBER_TOKENd printer so i started looking for someone who might be able to help me the first guy i found was designs by perry who i think makes the official helmets for marshmallow and dead mouse however he seemed to be really professional and i wasn't sure if he'd want to make a custom helmet for someone like me so then i found another guy who makes all sorts of helmets brave helmets inc makes a lot of things ranging from unique
