Final Week: It's Not Goodbye, It's See You Later

Well here we are. The day that felt so far away is here. Our project is coming to a close. Last Tuesday, Heather and I filmed our final video. Basically, we thanked all of our viewers for supporting us and explained to them why we created our channel. We asked our audience to write in the comments section whether or not they wanted us to continue, even though the project is over. Surprisingly, we've received an overwhelmingly positive response. It seems as if people want us to keep going with our channel! We might start up again, but it won't be until after school and testing is done. Our last consensus of viewing comes to 92 subscribers with 3,461 views. This project has not only been fun, but it's also helped me grow as a person. While I'm usually pretty brave, this project has given me more courage that I never thought I could obtain. I also learned more about things such as time management skills and cooperation. Thank you for supporting our channel. Like always, click the link down below to check out our latest video. Here's a picture of Heather and I from this past weekend's prom that I went to.I'll see you guys soon! Bye! Mwah!!

Week 15:Slow Week

Nothing too exciting happened this week.. Heather and I came up with a video idea of ranting about things we dislike about high school. It's relate-able so I think it'll capture the audience's attention, but I have to say it's not one of my favorites. I edited this week, but it didn't take me too long since we didn't have very much footage as a result of limited 20 time. We're up to 84 subscribers and over 3,100 views!! How cool is that?!? Hopefully we'll come up with some good ideas because we only have 1 or two more videos left! This project has been so much fun and educational and it's weird that I almost don't want it to end! Check out the link down below to see us ranting about high school problems! Hopefully you'll get a laugh. I know I need it with all this AP testing.. Go subscribe while our channel is still in action! :) Can we hit 100 subscribers within the next two weeks?

Week 14: Musical Chaos

This week started off on a dull note and ended on an exciting one. Monday, the day we film, came and went. Heather and I still had no idea what to do for this week. Heather had suggested doing a cover, but I was a little skeptical because of all the recent hate we've been getting on our videos. We ended up doing a cover anyway and luckily, no one has been mean towards our singing voices yet (knock on wood). Turns out, I was worried for nothing! The video was soooo much fun to film!! It took us forever to get our final cut because we kept messing up on the harmonies. Our video has a special twist so make sure you check it out to find out why the video was so much fun to film. I was more excited for our audience to see this video than any other video. The audience responded just as we have expected and now we have 82 subscribers and almost 3,000 views!! I have no idea what we're filming next week, but hopefully it'll be as fun as the last one was! Click the link below to see our awesome video! Trust me you won't regret it!

Week 13: Q&A

Well, we only have about a month left of our 20% Project! That's so weird to me! We've been having so much fun with this project that it's sad to think we only have about 4 episodes left.. Who knows? Maybe we'll continue our channel after our project is completed! Anyway, this week we finally got to film our Q&A!! It was a lot of fun to interact with our audience through their questions. A lot of our questions were from the same person, but we were able to film a good size video! It was hard to cut questions from the video because we wanted to use everyone's questions, but the video would've been too long.. This week, we barely acquired any subscribers until Heather posted a picture of our new video on her Instagram. We received 6 subscribers in ONE day!! That was really cool and a great accomplishment for us! We have almost 2,500 views of our channel and 73 subscribers!! We also have some new "haters" commenting mean things on our video, but I just laugh at all the comments because they're stupid! I have no idea what we're filming next week, but I'm sure it'll be fun! Click the link below to watch our long awaited Q&A! Until next time!

Sick and Siblings

This week was kind of rough. I was sick on Monday and stayed from school for the first time since elementary school! Heather also had an interview at the end of the day on Monday so she had to leave early from school. We always film videos on Mondays during our 9th period English class when our English teacher gives us "20% Time" so this caused a little bit of a problem... There was a little bit of panic for a minute because our busy lives usually only allows us to film during English class, but we were able to get together Tuesday night at Heather's house to film a video. This week, we did the Siblings Tag, which was actually a last minutes decision. We were planning on doing the Q&A, but we still didn't have enough questions. Filming with my brothers was fun because they're crazy and always make us laugh! Hopefully, this week we'll film the Q&A! Check out our new video by clicking the link below! Here's an old picture of the four of us from 3 years ago! Did I mention 67 subscribers and over 2,100 views now? Eeep!! So exciting!

Week 11: On Our Way

This week, Heather and I filmed the Name That Body Part Challenge. Basically, we blindfolded one person while the other person took the blindfolded person's finger and put it on parts of their body. The blindfolded person tried to guess what part of the body it was. The video is only 5 minutes long, which is good since our goal for this week was to make a shorter video.  It was definitely very interesting to say the least.. It was kind of scary to have one of your senses take anyway and only rely on touch. This video was a bit of a last minute decision... We were hoping to film a Q&A, but we as we said in our video, we didn't have enough "Q's" to give enough "A's". Hopefully, by the time we film the video we'll have enough questions because we only have a few at the moment... Last week’s video was a hit for lots of people. We've gotten so much positive feedback from our audience, including some from our English teacher! Shout out to Mrs. Krieger for supporting our channel! I saw an old friend of mine at Bubble Tea and one of the first things she brought up was how much she loved our videos and how she watches them every week. It's so great to have such a support system on our channel! I feel like we have more "subscribers" than we actually do because a lot of people don't have Google accounts to subscribe. What really surprised me this week was that within 5 days we gained 9 subscribers!! And we are sooooo close to 2,000 views! Back in January, I wouldn't have thought our channel would do so well, but feel like we've accomplished a lot and have brought at little extra laughter to our friends' lives. The only question is how do we get people outside of our friends to subscribe to our channel? Check out our newest video with the link down below and I'll see you guys next time!!

Week10: More Special Guests

What a fun week! Heather and I filmed the Boyfriend Tag with our boyfriends this week. It was quite the experience because they are both such goofballs but it was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone. The picture below is of the four of us at our school dance this past winter. For the first part of the video, we asked the boys questions. I have to say that for the most part the boys knew the answers which surprised me. The second part of the video was the blindfolded makeup challenge. Chris did a good job with my makeup for the most part, but Matt wasn't as lucky with Heather's makeup. We had so much footage from this week; 40 minutes of it to be exact. I edited this week and managed to shrink the video down to 13 and half minutes. Editing was fun though because I kept laughing at how funny our boyfriends are. I guess we'll keep them around a little longer... Haha! We're up to 53 subscribers which is pretty cool if you ask me! Hopefully we'll continue to get more subscribers and views as we continue into April! I'm not sure what our plan is yet for this week, but I think we might do a shorter video because our past few have been on the longer side and we don't want to bore our audience... Click the link down below to check out our new video! Thanks for supporting our channel! Until next week!
