The YouTube Factory feat. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Lilly Singh, and More!



Summary: Lilly Singh takes The Rock on a tour of the super secret YouTube video creation factory.

This video was the second instalment of a video done of Lilly's channel which I have already reviewed so check it out. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised with the video, it had a lot of collaborations from top Youtubers which was probably to help The Rock get to the massive 800k subscribers in only 4 WEEKS!


Of course the production quality of the video was top notch because The Rock has the capital to put a lot into his videos. Also from reading the description box there were at least a dozen people on the production team so no wonder they could include all those special effects. In a way this takes away from the video because it's not authentic YouTube, it's just traditional media trying to craft something to fit in the YouTube space. It does work in this video to an extent but it takes away the personal aspect of YouTube which makes it so popular.


Hopefully The Rock team realises this and he does more simpler and personal videos as well as these big budget ones. I think he needs to take some tips from someone like Ryan Higa, he does very high quality, complicated production but still manages to keep his identity despite this. Maybe if The Rock came up with the ideas or had more influence on the script and showed his personality more then I wouldn't get the impression that he is just being an actor like normal instead of a Youtuber.


However despite the minor issues with the video it was amusing to an extent. The premise was really fun and well executed which gives us a little taste of what is to come. I definitely subscribed to the channel but whether I will actually watch his videos is to be decided. If this is successful then I don't think Dwayne will be the last celebrity to hop on the YouTube bandwagon permanently.


Overall the video was a good quality, with a few funny jokes here and there. If it was less big budget production and more YouTube style then I would have enjoyed it more but The Rock is only two videos in and has time to find his groove on YouTube. Personally I think the video deserves a 6/10, although I look forward to his next videos and hopefully they'll be better than this one.

Am I completely wrong or did I hit the nail on the head? Comment below what you would rate this video and get the discussion popping!

Until next time

I Dare You: GETTING TASED! (ft. Timothy Delaghetto & Anna Akana) - NigaHiga

Image
Summary: NigaHiga is back at it again with another I Dare You video featuring the hilarious and talented Timothy Delaghetto and Anna Akana, as well as the usual gang whose names I've now realised I don't actually know. awkward.... This video is a part of a series that NigaHiga has created which shows him and a group of people doing all sorts of crazy dares and challenges (the kind they tell you not to try at home) all to win a coveted spot for their name on the ball of lame. // Side note: the ball of lame is basically a ball of tinfoil that they write their names on// Unfortunately this video didn't stick out as being one of the greatest in the series and it didn't even make me laugh out loud once. Yet it does still do it's best to try to be entertaining. I'm starting to wonder if the appeal of the series is starting to wear off especially since Youtube is a place where you can see hundreds if not thousands of videos of people humiliating themselves an...

Making something of yourself

Uni is a unique time when you are surrounded by like minded individuals who all want to make something of their life. So naturally you'll see a lot of people having businesses, being athletes, aspiring singers, models etc and in this midst of so much success it can be disheartening in a way. Everyone appears to be flourishing and getting exciting new opportunities and if you haven't found your thing yet it can seem like you're falling behind the crowd. To this I say don't worry, a key part of uni and transitioning into adulthood is learning more about yourself and what you want for your future. It's a time to gain ideas from people and meet potential collaborators but it is also a good time to try out different things, pursue something that scares you because even if you fail at it, you have time to recover. I know what it's like to look at your peers and feel like you're not doing anything or to look at them doing well in something your interested i...

Speaking wealth into your life

Many people spend thousands of pounds every year on going to wealth conferences but luckily for you I'm going to explain one of their most taught processes that helps aid you in becoming wealthy. It is called speaking wealth into your life or a mantra and I will be sharing a few of the benefits of having one. A mantra is simply a few statements that you recite every morning when you wake up that helps put you in the right a frame of mind. (I will be talking about how the way you think about money influences the amount you will get next week, so be looking out for that). It is almost like a reminder of what you want to achieve. Writing a mantra is quite easy but first you have to identify which financial goals you want to achieve. If you want to be financially free then a mantra you could say is "I am financially free and I have no debts" . By saying this every morning it helps you to truly believe it and get more into the rich person mindset. It can also inspire you ...
