I don’t like to think of JustBeingKyle as just being.. well, myself. At the beginning when I made my YouTube channel just to keep the username I had planned on just keeping it to what it’s name suggests, me just acting like a fool.
Fast forward to just about a year from then being now, JustBeingKyle has changed quite a bit. I am in no where a place to claim being religiously watched or liked by anyone, but JustBeingKyle has changed from just me in my bedroom to an entity in it’s own.
My friends and I make up this entity. Josh, the creative mind and eye. And Curtis, the essential sidekick. DopeitsJosh and Hypebeast42. You’ve got to make your team versatile and to have them your good friends makes the work that much easier.
I direct. We make skits. I go by the name JBK as a director. I’m Kyle when we make regular videos. We are JustBeingKyle.
This summer we are going to work hard to build the entity up. We’ve done good thus far, but this is just a preview of what we’re capable of. One successful video. One big directing job. And a bunch of appetizer type videos. We are gonna work on building those small sectors and bring them together into worthwhile entertainment.
I have a fair bit of motivation, but that doesn’t say anything. One person can have all the motivation in the world, but continue running themselves into the ground. You have to build yourself through trial and error and really be open to people’s opinions and criticism whether it is good, bad or downright hatred. You can convince yourself all you want that what you’ve got is good, but if opinion says otherwise then you aren’t anything. You’ve got to be open to criticism and evolve from the information you can take from it. From that you build your vision. What is plausible and where you can take yourself. I’ve got a good vision as to where we can take JBK.
People always say that it isn’t the people you know it’s ‘what ever else,’ but the people you know is really a big factor in where you can go. Good homies help their homies out, and that’s the way you live. Never look to network with people just to benefit from them. Make a friendship or partnership. Get to know their work flow. If your styles mesh then you both will eventually look to work off each other. You may have skills or know people and vice versa. In the end not one person takes the credit, everyone grows together. And if either doesn’t want to work, then leave it at that. You’ve got a homie at the end of the day.
I’ve been lucky enough to have gained a few homies and worked with people that I really respect as artists and people. We are all growing our followings and skills. It feels good to work with people on the same page as you. We all come from different strokes, but all essentially have the same goals.
JBK is going to work hard this summer. On our own and with the homies. We are building. Slowly, but surely.
