YouTube Cartooning and You

  • YouTube gives the everyday animator a chance to prove their worth. When a good idea is a good idea, but a big time network believes otherwise, an animator can still put it up on the internet  for the world to see. And who knows, maybe it will be a multimillion view hit?
  • "Niche cartoons can remain niche and not cause problems for executives, as there is no competition over time slots. For larger networks like Frederator, that peaceful coexistence all but eliminates the challenges of visibility." I think this pretty much speaks for itself
  • The internet gives cartoonists almost complete freedom. Length, content, style, etc. Sure, if a video is more adult oriented, it will get less advertisement from YouTube, but if it is good, someone will still find it and are likely to tell two friends who each tell two friends, etc.
Thanks Ms. Licata
  • This article is pretty encouraging for me, since myself and a group of friends were (hopefully) going to post our own little series on YouTube.
  •  A lot of it is common knowledge (but that isn't a bad thing. It's still encouraging). Sometimes we need to be reminded of things we already knew
Question
What should one keep in mind before booting up a YouTube series? Any tips or advise for people just starting out?
