It began in 2006, when I first started uploading content to my YouTube channel. First it was just a bunch of poorly edited gaming nonsense, but over the years I have expanded the scope of my videos to also include MTB races, airsoft games, concerts, etc., and have also refined my editing skills with Premiere Pro to the point of being able make a damn entertaining video if I put in the effort.

During the site's renovation, I looked through my collection of videos and took the sub-par ones offline - well over 100 of them. Why? As mentioned on the About the Gallery page, I have been attempting to shift the focus of my published works from quantity to quality.

Another thing worth mentioning in this article is the recent trend of audio copyright claims on YouTube videos. For those who are unaware of the situation, record label companies like WMG are causing videos on YouTube to have their audio muted or substituted with another track (via YouTube's relatively new "AudioSwap" function). While I understand the position of said record labels, I feel that this onset of audio censorship infringes on the ability of YouTube users to express themselves. So in order to avoid this censorship, most of my videos are now mirrored on other video sharing sites like WeGame and Vimeo. (Fuck WMG.)
