1. First, describe the content you make for YouTube in three words. Spontaneous, creative and real.

2. What goes into making a "spontaneous, creative and real" YouTube video? A lot of time! You need a good setup, an idea and the ability to plan ahead. My art videos take forever to edit. I use a tripod and pay attention to the angles and lighting to make sure that they look good. For my Japan videos, I think about what my audience is curious about. A lot of Kurdish people are not too familiar with East Asian culture.
