The YouTube channel of popular game director Masahiro Sakurai has come to an end.
This will remain an outstanding document that hopefully will teach basics to generations to come. Thank you Masahiro San!
Regarding this last video above, I am impressed with the work ethic and discipline. I couldn’t never have this level of mastery because I have a different background and life. Still, there are something to learn not just on video production, but on content design in general:
- Everything was planned right from the start: outline, scripts, footages. Everything.
- Focus on 1 task at the time and cover the entire content length
- Keep everything extremely organized in folders and find name conventions for easier queries
- Collab with external partners only when everything is well defined, because you will have management overload
- Use the email with bullet points for feedback and general comms.
Masahiro San says that he invested around $630k and got $0 as revenue. He did this just for the improvement of our beloved industry. I would like to see more Masahiros around here…
