I've been thinking about doing videos in the Top 10 format. Example: Big games with underwhelming final bosses. Do you have to play the games that you plan on listing or do you take videos from other videos and credit them?

It will be the 1st time I do a video with a script, and I know if I play the games, it will help give my personality and my own perspective, plus my own gameplay. But at the same time, playing several games could take a while, without counting the proper editing of the video. What do you think would be better.

I'm working toward a live FX direction style for my gaming content and content in general. My goal is to make my content feel like a live performance, with humor, reactions, vocal FX, sound, and motion design happening in the moment rather than relying on heavy post production.

I respect heavily edited content, but that style doesn't come naturally to me. I prefer creating assets and directing things on the fly, and hyper-edited content isn't the direction I want to pursue.

I've already built my own FX library and have the equipment and systems in place to execute my ideas. My struggle is learning to recognize moments worth enhancing, choosing and remembering to use the right fx. (Ofc while keeping it smooth. Which I presume would just come more with time and practice).

I'm looking for advice on where to start and building that mental muscle.

Any recommendations of creators that have similar styles would also help. The Call of Duty DJ. Is the only creator that comes to mind. As someone who uses such a high volume of things in such quick succession and smoothly.

Feel free to ask me any clarifying questions.
