Come on, Joerg! Jeez what did you glean from the poll? What kind of videos are you gonna work on?
First off, thanks to all who have responded. I will consider the outcome of the voting in combination with the hard facts (i.e. viewcounts).
So people want to see more tutorials for simple frames. That will happen.
People here don't like tutorials about complex slingshots. That is interesting as I do get lots of views and positive comments for those on youtube.
Destruction videos HAVE to stay a part of my work as people love them.
Testing handmade slingshots will of course happen all the time.
Here is what is in my "cooker":
- The "Heat Hunter"
A presentation of my first slingshot that heats the bands for more power.
- "Slingshot Machine Gun Case Study"
I will fire 500 lead balls at a supermarket chicken, then I will speed up the video so people can see the chicken beeing torn to shreds in just a minute. This will also be combined with a "band life" part. I recently found a way to make bands last a long time, with lots of power.
- "Scallops"
A presentation, complete with background report and (hopefully) an interview with Dan, the designer, and Paul, the manufacturer (Hogancastings)
- "Mesquite Bunnybuster"
A review about a wonderful "Bunnybuster" slingshot I received just before my vacation + move, it really is time for the video now
- "Golf ball crossbow"
Now that I have made a crossbow that can easily take the strain of two hunterbands, I plan on making a (single shot) golf ball shooter, which will use six Thera band gold bands per side, 18cm x 3cm x 2cm. That is 3 times the strength of a Fish Hunter. I expect that it will propel a golf ball to about 65 m/s (213 fps), 84 Joules.
- "Lethal BBs"
My first fictional project with real actors. A gangster story, in a world where firearms have never been invented and slingshots replace handguns. Slingshots are heavily regulated in this fictional scenario, but the criminals use them anyway. It will end in a big shootout in a car junkyard.
More projects will be added over time. Some of the above listed ideas may never see realization. Time will tell.
Regarding the music, I can't use AC/DC or any other "commercial" music anymore as I am now a youtube partner and not allowed to include copyrighted material that I do not own.
