My name is Will i'm 17 years old (and on an imprtant note have aspergers syndrome). My passion in life is to be a filmmaker, my favorite genre to make is comedy (my inspirations are John CJG, Shane Dawson, SMOSH, and RackaRacka) I upload my videos on youtube to hopefully be famous and get a youtube play button award they give when you reach 100,000 subscribers. which I want because I never won any award in my life. But no one watches them I only get 50 views for each video and only 20 subscribers and I don't get it, I have an upload schedule and I use good tags and no one watches them. But I'm apart of our schools cable acess TV show which is shown to our media fundumentals class (who review our segments) and my segments have gotten negative reviews. What I do on the show is a series called A Halo Story which is loosley based on Arby n The Chief which is about two Halo action figures and they come alive and play my video games and they talk with a Microsoft voice voice and had a lot of video game refrenceces and footage which was my favorite but nobody liked it they call it annoying, repetitve, and copyrighted, sure I was inspired by that series but it had nthing in common with the Arby n the Chief execpt the protagonist is a Master Chief and Arbiter action figure, and because of the negative reviewws I was forced to cancel the series after 9 episodes much to my sadness and dismay, and when I put it on youtube nobody would watch it. I also do stopmotions with legos which I've been doing for years and yet I got negative reviews on those they call it bad animation and bad voice acting. I don't get it, my test audience which are fellow cast members and friends enjoy them, why not anyone else, why does nobody watch my gaming videos and yet they will watch a boring vlog from SHAYTARDS which is nothing about life which gets millions of views, why can't I have millions of views too I do funny skits and I only get 40 to 50 views, what do I do because this is what I want to do with my life, writing and directing films and doing youtube as a hobby.



so iow you want attention and approval from others

No I just want to be a youtube celebrity

Hi Will. You've been given a lot of useful, friendly advice by previous posters, so I won't bore you and everyone else by repeating what they said. Don't worry, you're 17, there's plenty of time to achieve what you want but it's going to take years of effort. Plus the film industry is extremely difficult to break in to (as a writer and producer I've had dealings with it myself) and there are lots of very unpleasant, dishonest people who work in film. It's all about money. So be warned.

As Alex said earlier, why not start by posting a link to your material here, and we can give you some reviews. The people on Wrong Planet are a lot nicer than the a..holes in the film business, so you might get some positive feedback. And if you want to write screenplays you need to find someone to show them to who can give you advice before you start marketing them.

Hope that helps.

It also might be good to turn off permission for comments, or at least check the "by approval" option. I've turned off comments on my channel for the very reason that there is so much mindless, ugly trolling on Youtube that it just isn't worth it getting all that thrown in my face just for the chance of the few nicer comments that normal, nice people might make.

I'm happy just putting up my videos for general interest, maybe to show people something they don't get to see often, teach them a little bit about the birds in my videos, etc.

I would put your films up with comments off for the time being, and just don't worry about numbers for now.
