Welcome to 2018: A New Year of Excitement and Exploration
Hey what's up guys, Mkbhd here, fresh new graphics, and welcome to 2018. As you can imagine, we have a lot of exciting things planned for this year, and I'm sure you're all as eager as I am to see what we've got in store. One thing that's changed lately is the fact that our channel has started to turn more into a team effort. It used to be just me, my camera, and maybe my computer - not exactly a lot of material to work with! But as we start to get more hands on deck, we realize the benefits of being able to do more things. We can now capture third-person shots, move around while filming, and even try out different angles - it's all about capturing those experiences that I couldn't have done on my own.
This new dynamic is going to make our videos a bit more dynamic, but don't worry, it's still going to be in a good way. We're always looking for ways to improve and push the boundaries of what we can do. And with this team effort, we think that we'll be able to make bigger and better things - not just content-wise, but also in terms of our overall output. So stay tuned, folks, it's going to be a wild ride.
One thing that I didn't tell you guys last year was that one of my goals for the channel was to create 100 videos by the end of the year and get all of our projects fully complete. Well, we ended up at 95, which is still an amazing achievement - but I'm confident that we'll be able to reach our goal this year. We've already made some great content, including a casey Neistat studio tour as part of a new series, and we're excited to announce more collaborations in the future.
We also took a bit of time last year to hang out with dead mouse and shoot some car videos that didn't make it into our final cut. It was a fun experience, but sometimes things just don't work out - at least not right away. However, we did manage to create one video that did end up making the cut: our Tesla project love day video, which ended up winning a contest. That was an amazing feeling, and we're excited to see what other car-related content we can come up with this year.
Speaking of new technology, there's so much coming out this year that it's hard to even keep track. I've been getting non-stop questions about the red hydrogen one - which is definitely a big deal - and we might just have some surprises in store for you all. Maybe an 8K TV? Electric cars? Foldable phones? We can't wait to share all of these amazing things with you, so stay tuned.
One thing that I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for is the support of our community. Without your engagement and enthusiasm, we wouldn't be able to do what we love every day. It's an incredible feeling to be in a position where we can experience bleeding-edge tech and share it with all of you. And yes, sometimes that means stepping outside of my comfort zone - but that's what makes life exciting, right?
So here's the deal: I hope every video I upload this year is better than the last one from previous years. I really do believe that we can keep pushing ourselves to new heights, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes us. Thanks for watching, talk to you guys in the next one!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys mkbhd here fresh new graphics and welcome to 2018 and we have a lot of plans for this year as i'm sure you can imagine and notice i keep saying we because this actually gradually started to turn more into a bit of a team effort at this point as you know it used to just be me my camera maybe my computer and not a whole lot but as you start to get more hands you realize the benefits of being able to do more things so you know third person shots moving shots all kinds of fun angles basically capturing things and experiences that i ordinarily couldn't if i was the one already focusing on the camera work so this changes things a bit makes it a little bit more dynamic but in a good way so yeah bottom line we're going to be expanding on that again for this year and i think you'll notice the difference it makes to the videos and it'll help us make bigger and better things and also more often in fact in 2017 i didn't tell you guys this but one of the goals i had was to make 100 videos to get a hundred projects fully complete we ended up at 95 so like i got pretty close but i think this year in 2018 there's no doubt we'll have a hundred videos for you in 2017 we also made the casey neistat studio tour as episode one of a new series and then we were planning out episode number two and we're getting all hyped up and we hung out with dead mouse in his newly built studio and then linus made his video which was basically the same as we were so we're that's cool we're back to working on that we got the dope tech series going that is a fun one that's going to continue of course and we also shot some car videos that will never see the light of day in their completion took a couple days on them did a lot of shooting and learned a lot but then later we did make a car video that did see the light of day the tesla project love day video which also happened to win the contest and now let's just say there will definitely be some car videos in 2018 that do see the light of day that's a guarantee we got a pretty good playlist name for it too something else we dabbled with in 2017 was the whole idea of custom merch you know a limited edition design here and there and that's fun but i think in 2018 that beast will be entirely different i don't want to give away too much but i think you get the idea so in 2017 the channel passed 5 million subscribers which is incredible and also rolled past 800 million total video views and of the 95 videos uploaded in 2017 they were watched about 266 million times in total which multiplies out to 1.1 billion total minutes of watch time geez that's a lot of time but look in 2018 what we really have to look forward to is all this new tech that's coming out the new mac pro allegedly apple's coming out with that this year i've gotten non-stop questions about the red hydrogen one that's a big one um and there's going to be mysteries of course too maybe an 8k tv or beyond electric cars foldable phones there's going to be surprises but i'm going to do my best to show it all to you literally my favorite thing to do is talk about tech and experience it and use it and i don't thank you guys enough for this but i am super fortunate to be in a position where i can not only experience some bleeding edge tech and amazing stuff all the time but then i can also turn around and share it with you guys i literally one of my favorite moments of last year was when i interviewed at the end of my google i o video i interviewed sundar pachai the ceo of google and that was fun obviously kind of an on-the-spot thing but that wasn't even my idea that was google's idea that they came to me with so the fact that companies at this point are reaching out uh shows that there's a lot of doors open and i just have to step through them to try to share that experience with you guys a lot of it's going to feel outside of my comfort zone and i know that and that's sort of like a general new year's resolution to do that as well but that's what makes us better either way bottom line welcome to 2018 uh i hope every video i upload this year is better than every video from last year and from all the previous years and i think that's definitely possible but other than that thanks for watching talk to you guys the next one peacehey what is up guys mkbhd here fresh new graphics
