I wasn’t even born when dad swam in the Olympics. I’ve seen videos of some of his swims, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in the Olympics. He’s been a massive support right through my career, and it’s good to have someone so close to talk to who knows all about what it’s like to compete in an Olympic Games.
Miranda is extremely tacky. I personally want to edit my videos well, but I have to keep Miranda’s character in mind, so there are bad angles, flashy cuts, and sparkles everywhere.

I went on YouTube and saw videos of Angelina Jolie on some talk show showing people switchblade tricks, and I was like, ‘That’s what I want to do.’
I used to watch those rock videos where they would chainsaw the piano. And I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ I thought classical music was corny.
People naturally want to retweet and engage on super funny videos and memes.
I work out most days, normally first thing, and then I just see where the day takes me. I recipe test most days, do lots of social media and emails, but nothing else is constant. Some days, I film YouTube videos; other days, I have lots of meetings, work on blog posts, brainstorm ideas, and work on upcoming projects.
‘Hometasking’ was genuinely a team effort. Because we were all in lockdown and didn’t have anything to do, the team watched lots of videos and passed them on to me. It was a really nice way to spend a few months and feel like you’re actually helping other people.
Back-to-school videos always do really well for me.
There’s an underlying sense with ‘Tongue’ that… it’s really… it’s real. I mean that in the sense that now I’m not afraid to touch on relationships and on my sexuality in my videos.
When I see someone wearing fur, I just want to sit them down in front of one of PETA’s videos and show them just how badly animals suffer for this supposed fabric that no one needs.
It’s really cool to see how many people try to imitate me or wear my stuff. I get a lot of Instagram videos of people doing my entrance. I think that’s so cool. To see the variety of people, little girls, guys, doing it. I never really thought that would happen. It’s amazing.
When Geoff Ramsey and Jack Pattillo started ‘Achievement Hunter,’ we expanded heavily into ‘let’s play’-style gaming videos and have since expanded with a massive roster of gaming talent and multiple channels dedicated just to gaming videos.
I dropped out of school at 17 and joined the Irish band The Frames, getting my first glimpse into the world of professional film making while shooting of a number of rock videos.
We actually make all of our own music videos. Often we come up with the visual concepts at the same time as writing the music.
You can watch videos and hit off the tee, stuff like that, but at the same time, it’s you against the pitcher. I just need one swing or one pitch to click, and you can find your swing.
For a while I had a little company and made corporate videos, did some little documentaries, almost, for court cases and mediations.
I don’t think any artist has really relied on music videos the way I do. It’s almost like my radio.
E-mails, phone calls, Web sites, videos. They’re still all letters, basically, and they’ve come to outnumber old-fashioned conversations. They are the conversation now.
There was a time when country never used to do videos.
My true memory has been tainted by old home videos of my sister and I, ages 3 and 5 respectively, singing karaoke to Britney Spears’ ‘Lucky’ in our living room, and tape recordings of my parents trying to elicit songs out of our throats at a similar or younger age.
I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It’s all authentic.
When you’ve got videos up on Web sites that are literally shot the same day, the whole skate community knows right away when new tricks are invented or new techniques are available.
Every dollar I made from DJing, I put into my videos, promotion – everything.
With most of the songs and music that I’ve composed, irrespective of the myriad videos made, I was always careful not to overly define the experience, leaving room for people to internalize things for themselves, making their experience more integral.
I constantly ask why one of my kids has the tantrums that he does, and it’s not because he sees videos of me acting like that onstage but because we’re bound by blood.
Apart from some of the videos and haircuts, I don’t think I’ve made any wrong moves, ha ha!
If somebody likes your videos, they’re gonna tell their friends. They’re gonna send e-mails about you, and before you know it, your name is getting around.
Film was something that I didn’t see as a step up from music videos, though obviously, music videos, the fact that you work with a crew and a film camera, are the closest to film I’ve ever been. That is the only schooling I’ve ever had.
All of my videos, everything I upload is short and edited.
I think the most important part of anyone creating videos or creating anything is just being genuine and having it be true to what you want to do and who you are.
I’ve got so many dance heroes, and it’s such a cliche, but how can I not say Michael Jackson? Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul – they are the people I remember when I was a little girl, watching their videos and trying to learn all the choreography.
I’ll never forget my mom coming into the room middle of the night with YouTube videos of hypnotizing people saying, ‘You’re happy, you’re going to be okay,’ and she just played it in my ear as I slept.
I have noticed that videos in general are receiving less reach than usual. It’s concerning because a lot of people depend on social media to showcase their work and reach new audiences.
So I do make a real effort that all of my videos are things that, if I had kids, I wouldn’t mind them watching.
I think visually, and music videos spark my creativity.
I’m going to be writing and directing my own videos, and performing in them too, and I’m super-excited about it.
Grizzly Bear’s ‘Knife’ is one of the best videos of all time – everything Encyclopedia Pictura has done is really incredible.
I have made multiple videos telling fans not to come to our house. I feel like a zoo animal.
Dance has been a driving force in my life for 25 years. From music videos and hip hop, to jazz and musical theater, to ballet and classic modern dance, I have had extensive exposure to a variety of techniques that inspire my own electric style.
Back in the day, I used to get really upset when people used to say that I didn’t really make all my own things – like my art or my videos or whatever. I work really hard on everything, so it used to upset me when people would try to discredit me or say that I wouldn’t have what I had without this person or that person.
If you get rid of music, images, videos, words and literature from the smartphone, you just have a simple phone that would be worth $50.
I’ve been doing my own makeup since I was 15. I would steal my mom’s products, go online, watch YouTube videos of girls doing their makeup, and try.
Music videos are really expensive, and if I mess it up, it’s like, ‘Oh, there goes 15,000 dollars,’ you know?
My videos are a one-woman show – it’s just me. I have my camera in front of me, and underneath my camera, I have a monitor. That’s where I see everything.
For many people, when they come to Twitter, the language is opaque. We need to push the scaffolding to the background and bring the content forward. The media, the photos, the videos.
Games have has as much an impact on Hollywood filmmaking as MTV music videos did.
When I had to have a little seizure, I looked up videos of people having seizures. I remember looking up symptoms and what happens to your body. You kind of just lock up and I had to prepare for that. A lot.
In today’s society, many people feel stressed. So when they watch my videos at the end of a busy day, I want them to relax and experience something nice, to take away some of their anxiety and stress.
The most difficult thing about music videos is that a lot of young filmmakers come into the medium, and they have so many different ideas, but they need to understand what the musician wants.
It’s fun to be around people who don’t think I’m creepy for making videos in my bedroom on the Internet.
I’ve shown the players geese videos. I’ve shown them why geese fly in V formation, what everybody’s role is, how geese support each other and, most importantly, why you fly further together. That’s the bottom line. Geese wouldn’t be able to migrate to the sun without all traveling together. It’s the same for us.
The days I’m not doing videos, I always have random stuff. We do production meeting stuff. Those are so stupid. Everyone’s like, ‘We like you; we don’t know what to do with you.’ I’m like, ‘Cool.’
There are a lot of coming out videos of people who are gay or lesbian, and they’re so confident. But it made me cry because I’m not that. I don’t know who I am 100 percent.
