Rustic B talks YouTube

Youtube has exploded in the last few years. Top “youtubers” (people who make youtube videos) are now appearing on the Forbes earning lists, so we decided to ask a friend of ours who is based in the area, some questions about his filmmaking and stunt projects!

The Interview

SCN: Thanks for talking with us, Rustic.

Rustic: Thank you for having me!

SCN: So, what is your background? What got you into filmmaking, and how did you start on YouTube?

Rustic: Straight away with the tough questions, eh? (laughs) I got into youtube when I was 14 years old. I stumbled on the video site while browsing myspace, when someone shared a Parkour Video. After browsing feverishly that evening, I decided to make my first video! I didn’t have a video camera yet, so I decided to make a “stop motion animation” video with a picture camera I had!

SCN: How did you get into stunts?

Rustic: I was studying Architecture in Scotland, and spending way too much time training parkour and making youtube videos with friends. One day an important question came up for me, and that was “if you had all of the money in the world, what would you see yourself doing?”. I had to think about that question for a while, and was fortunate to realize early on that I wasn’t doing exactly what I wanted to be doing at that moment. Once I had that realization and started looking for other options, I realized I would be making videos with friends. This led me to the realization that I want to move to LA and be in the film industry. So that is what I did!

SCN: Wow, that’s quite a change.. how has it been for you?

Rustic: The experience has been wonderful so far! I have been in LA for almost 5 years, (Santa Clarita for 4 years), I have found the love of my life, and I spend the days doing what I enjoy! My job is literally to train stunts (parkour, martial arts, fitness, climbing, swimming, etc), make youtube videos, and work towards a career as a film producer.

SCN: That is awesome! Is there anything you would like to tell our readers before you go?

Rustic: I would love to just say.. follow your internal compass. The one under the worries, fears, doubts..those are all useless! Focus on doing what you truly want (with brutal honesty and optimism), strive to always be mindful, and just remember to breathe! Life is simple, enjoy the good vibes 😀

SCN: Wonderful..thank you very much for your time!

Rustic: Thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Just in case you guys are confused by the 3rd person nature of the above youtube article, it’s an “interview” which I had with myself this morning!

Making youtube videos has been my passion for 9 years now, and has kept me motivated to learn new things. Through youtube, I learned how to do parkour, and made life long friends. With the help of youtube, I learned about Scotland, and how it was possible to travel there. And through youtube, I made friends in LA before I moved here. I am so excited to continue to grow with all of you, and I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous 2016!

Just remember, you can achieve anything! It all just starts with a choice. What is important to you? And what feelings do you have inside, which drive you?
