I Tricked the Internet with Fake Clones

[bronze marlin]

this is a draft im too tired to fix the lighting on my face but it will happen

[tame finch]

As long as this is a draft I can't see anything wrong really

However "gaslighting the internet" doesn't make me understand the ai walking through a building or something, maybe change the title but I dunno what the video idea is

[hushed stratus]

I get that this isn't exactly the same thing that yikes did, and also that you might've had this idea first. But like if this is indeed because of his new video... I think you're crossing the line of inspiration to a bit of stealing... Inspiration is ok... but that doesn't mean you get inspired by one source only. Thats not inspiration.

Like man, I get that you want to make content that yikes makes. I do to. But that doesn't mean you get to/have to copy him. Don't try to copy his ideas or anything. Come up with your own ideas. Put more twists and stuff. The other video was fine. Sure, one-off thing. But two for two? I don't really know about that.

the secret isn't to copy yikes, its to get inspired by him and find your own things (thats what I'm doing)

BTW, just to clarify, this is a comment on the idea not the thumbnail

[bronze marlin]

Yeah man, I guess the title hasn’t been clear enough, the plan is to do something like rotoscoping me out and cloning me in frame, I realize that it’s very similar to yikes title wise on paper but I think the actual video concept is different enough

[bronze marlin]

Yeah I got that 👍

[hushed stratus]

If you're talking abt cloning yourself... that was also a yikes video

[bronze marlin]

This is also me just going through the motions of ideating and creating packaging for a video and the chance that this video actually gets made is low

[hushed stratus]

I see I get that...

I mean idk though

I definetely think you're clinging a bit too much on yikes. Like ig my advice is just be yourself, and make videos/ideas that you want to make, not just videos/ideas or similar videos/ideas that did well on yikes' channel. Even he said it on an interview, what works for him isn't gonna work again for anyone.

[bronze marlin]

If it makes it any better (which I doubt it does honestly) I came up with the idea of it in bed about to fall asleep without reference of what he’s done

Also, I know all the stuff you’re telling me in theory, but unfortunately, there’s a difference between what you know and theory and what you do in practice so I’m trying to get that to sink and right now

In full honesty

[hushed stratus]

If you want, lets make a group together. We do make similar content afterall, so idk, wanna bounce ideas together? lol
its fine if you don't

[bronze marlin]

What do you do?

I’d love to see some of your stuff

[hushed stratus]

I consider myself a yikes/ryan trahan esque content creator
Making my second video atm

@bronze marlin dms

I feel like "I tricked the internet" is lowkey a better title. Wider appeal, more people use it, easier to understand for younger audiences

I also think you just need shadows on the text and some of the robots to make it pop a bit

I like this concept and amazing draft (would also make yourself a little bigger to fit frame) idk why its bothering me so much but thats my personnel opinion, whatever you feel is right

[bronze marlin]

I put it like that to line my eyes up with a rule of thirds grid

[crimson hazel]

ahh yes your a smart man
