I really didn't want to upload this video because I thought it was really embarrassing, but since I am a saint and a scholar I listen to Bryant and Nick and uploaded it anyway

So this video was originally uploaded to InstagramTV. I thought this crazy video would put my new profile on the map. I thought, these intense edits, the likes instagram has never seen in a skit before, would put me on that top list of internet influencers. This however was wishful thinking. InstagramTV is a broken platform. Instagram didn't really know what they were going for. The first mistake was that they made it a completely seperate platform from instagram. Why not just make instagramTV a part of instagram? Many of my friends told me that InstagramTV was annoying to navigate to which made them ultimately not even touch the platform. Not only thing, but I think having vertical video as your only means of uploading is a huge mistake. Yes its easier to watch on your phone that way, but by making it mandatory, you just deleted a large amount of creators. Editing for vertical video is really strange. There is a reason why widescreen has become the norm. They should have just allowed you to upload how you want. InstagramTV could have been an actual competitor of youtube if they used their brains a little, but sadly now its just a barely used side-platform for instagram.
Regardless of that, I think I made a pretty hilarious video for it. It was so fun to act and edit. I really do miss making skits with friends. They get less views, but they are the videos that are the most fun to make. After the whole tokyo ghoul incident, I was really mad at youtube (still am). I wanted to spread out my videos to more locations so that I didn't have to rely on youtube for everything I do creatively. I rationalized making this video an exclusive by thinking that it would be the only way to build an audience on my newly made profile. This though, was probably not the move. By making exclusive, you split up your audience. Not everyone wants to switch platforms just to see certain videos a person makes. I realize that now and am instead doing a new strategy. Upload everything, everywhere and just build the audience in those particular communities with the same content. Yeah, I might upload more troll videos and pretty pictures on instagram, might complain more on twitter, and might post more on snapchat, but the overall big uploads and stuff like that will be the same regardless of platform. No more exclusives (well YouTube will still probably have more videos since it doesn't have a limit on video length). Hopefully with this new outlook, I will become huge and make big bucks and then live the happy life of spo

I made this video for one of my friends in University. He is part of a pep band and his band members always improperly wrap cables which damages them and forces him to pay for more. He asked me to help make a video to inform them why they shouldn't. As usual, I made a diamond quality video and did it in under 24 hours. Call me Al Capone, because I'm a freaking boss.
I know, I know, Its been a long time since I made a anime video or whatnot, but that stuff takes time. I'm thinking about making two over the summer. One with clones and one with the original members of thedancingtako. It will be glorious.
Welp, that's really all I have to say. See ya.

EDIT 4/17/2016:
Fun Fact: The video couldn't get used because it was deemed too racist. Having Bryant dying by choking on a cable apparently means we were secretly sending Hanging and lynching imagery in the video. Like wtf, people are way to soft nowadays. If we really wanted to be racist, I don't think I, a black guy, would be ok with it. But whatever, I guess i'm secretly some sort of KKK member or something. smh, smgdh.
