Machinima boys.

[Jord]

I officially have a machinima contract posting my Call Of Duty 6 Videos on there :)

$50 for 20,000 views

[ItsDave]

Savage. Link us up.

[Jord]

I gotta sign the contract once they send me it :) Then once my videos go up there ill post them here for hte extra 100 odd views :D = More moneh for me

[Dusty-09]

Nice congratulations :) Link us up ASAP...

[kk.]

Meh. How many views do you think you'd get? Wouldn't it be easier getting a normal job too? :P

[ItsDave]

I didn't realise they gave you a contract, or were you already a member and got popular videos and they saw the oppurtunity?

[Zokoli]

I'll help out.

[PaulMacC]

I got $250 from my first video. I've already submitted 5 videos ready to be uploaded.
My first video got 90,000 views although I posted a trailer on a channel with 35,000 subscribers and my own with 13,000 subscribers.

[ItsDave]

I just realised as well, does that mean some of the garbage I see on their youtube channel have been given conracts? Because they are really bad, but hopefully your montages are good.

[kk.]

So you'd typically make about $100 I guess

[PaulMacC]

No, every video gets at least 40,000 views regardless of what it is.

[kk.]

Yeh so 40000 means $100?

[PaulMacC]

Yeah plus the subscribers from your own channel.

[kk.]

They can't honestly make that much from just advertising? Lol
well have fun

[PaulMacC]

Well, they are making enough to fund a headquarters in New York and pay out over 200 directors in their partnership program. My friend Hutch told me that he has made well over 4 grand doing it for 2 months.

[kk.]

Just remeber to keep the tax man informed...

[Jord]

Meh. How many views do you think you'd get? Wouldn't it be easier getting a normal job too? :P

Im 14 :P Don't want a job so this is easier since im just playing games


I didn't realise they gave you a contract, or were you already a member and got popular videos and they saw the oppurtunity?

Nah they contacted me from seeing my videos :)

Yeah I was going to ask if you wanted to do that machinima post thing with me but I doubt you will :$

I don't do montages :P I do call of duty:mw2 gameplays


So you'd typically make about $100 I guess

yeah machinima 700k subscribers so you'd be already getting LOADS checking out the video :)


They can't honestly make that much from just advertising? Lol
well have fun

They make so much from being youtube partner and advertising on all of there like 90k videos

[kk.]

Btw that question was rhetorical :P

[PaulMacC]

Yeah I was going to ask if you wanted to do that machinima post thing with me but I doubt you will :$

I would but I am also doing it with Hutch, SeaNanners, Sam and Xcalizorz so you'd have to ask all them if you want to join.

[Jord]

Well I'm 100% sure sam will let me do it with him

Maybe hutch and seananners will

xCal wont, I hate him and im guessing he hates me back

[Misawa]

That makes little sense to me. Why do people want to watch the game when they can play it? :S

[Jord]

Because they are rubbish and like watching other people rape (such as myself) at the game

[Neil]

Yea exactly, people that sit and watch these things are just as sad as the people who make them, any idiot can become good at CoD to be honest so if people actually played the game instead of watching others play then maybe they'd actually be as good as just about everyone else that plays the game. :rolleyes:

[kk.]

The only thing I'm going to say to the ones above is, if they're getting paid, there's obviously a Market..

[PaulMacC]

I doubt you could maintain a 3-4 KDR on MW2.
With all the random stuff in this game you need to actually have a bit of skill and common sense.

[5,5]

I doubt you could maintain a 3-4 KDR on MW2.
With all the random stuff in this game you need to actually have a bit of skill and common sense.
Why are you bragging about having a high kdr when youve made threads about how youve boosted. :S:S

[Fez]

I watch them just for the commentaries, Seananners makes me laugh.

[Robbie]

I watch them just for the commentaries, Seananners makes me laugh.

Hello everyone, my... name... is... SeaNanners AHAHAHAHA

[Neil]

I doubt you could maintain a 3-4 KDR on MW2.

Oh! OH! KDR big freaking woop, who cares? It's a game for God sake, also you lose all credability for KDR when you boost so you can be quiet about "maintaining a 3-4 KDR" from now on Mr. Booster, to be honest I could probably "maintain a 3-4 KDR" but to be quite honest I'm sick of people taking video games so seriously, they're not a job, you're earning money doing something my mum could do so I really think you should just stop bragging about this rubbish and go back to filming your ego trip CoD sessions to fuel your sad little "fan-base".

[cocaine]

i think there are better ways to earn money, such as by having a proper job where you can socialise

[PaulMacC]

Why are you bragging about having a high kdr when youve made threads about how youve boosted. :S:S
I boosted about 10 games, my KD went to 2.59 from 2.5 - My KD is now 3.3 without boosting so what difference does it make?
If you do not believe I am good at this game you can hit me up with a friend request and we will play some public games for a hour or so.

Say that all you want and see above but I will be enjoying my £7000 a year. Your saying to me stop taking a game so serious when your getting your knickers in a twist over the internet, wise up Neil. It is a world where anyone can do anything they want, your not in control of anyone.

I have a part-time job on top of this but I'm earning x3 as much playing games.

[Neil]

Say that all you want and see above but I'll be enjoying my 7 grand a year playing games thanks


Wow 7k a year is a huge over exaguration don't you think?

You post quite a few videos per week but barely any of them even scratch 10k views, you have only got 7 videos past 20k on your own personal channel so yea, have fun with your "7k".

[Jord]

I love how this is an argument now

[GoldenMerc]

just a note 7k a year is like a little over dole money lol. although its still good for playing something you enjoy its not something you can live on.

[PaulMacC]

No, I only get paid for my videos on machinima.
This is my first video there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koc8eHfc9wY
90k views - That earns me around £150.
I've already submitted 3 more videos and they are being put up within the next 1-2 weeks. I could earn far more if I submit 6-7 videos a week, that would earn me about £10,000 - £15,000 a year depending on views.

@Ross - I know, but its good for me being 16 and all. It doesnt even take long 30 minutes a day to commentate and render a video is easy for £100.

[J0SH]

@ Neil

How exactly can you call people sad for having a hobby? As in making videos? Atleast they're getting payed to game, you aren't getting payed to 1000 Borderlands and MW2 in the first few days, yet you can call others sad? I don't understand, you're clearly just jealous. You're a bit of a hypocrite if you see other people as sad rather than yourself.

Lol £123 but yea, you've posted 1 video and you're expecting an income on 7k a year from doing this? You need to post a hell of a lot of videos every single week too earn that sort of income and I'm pretty sure after a while of doing this "job" you'll hit a point where they'll start to take taxes on it.

@Hackney - Because I don't go bragging to everyone saying how I'm earning money for playing the same game and posting videos about it, I play a game, if I enjoy a game I play it enough to get all the achievements in it, it's not exactly a task that I'm the only person that's done it and others have done it faster, if the videos were a little more constructive then sure but it's a 10 min video of someone playing CoD and talking on top of it.

[Callum.]

who is the youtube account joshsydrome out of curiosity.

and good on you for making some cash, but £15,000 you're joking.

[J0SH]

who is the youtube account joshsydrome out of curiosity.

I dunno but he's a legend.

[Callum.]

I dunno but he's a legend.

the nuke count 2 video was possibly the worst sniping I've seen. doubt he'll get this sponser thing 'cause people wanna see beasts apparently.

[PaulMacC]

Dont really mind, more money than your making playing a game.
Put it this way
£123 x 2 = £246 (I submit 2 videos a week - Takes 1 week for them to put it up)
£246 x 4 = £984
£984 x 12 = £11,808
£11,808 x 0.175 (Tax) = £2066.40
£11,808 - £2066.40 = £9741.60 - Leaves me with just over £9000, that is assuming all my videos get 90,000 views. Most Call of Duty videos get 60,000 views for sure on Machinima as long as they have commentary.

[kk.]

I dunno but he's a legend.
xD

It's always good to do something that you enjoy and get paid for it


Btw Paul, income tax isn't 17.5, that's vat and soon to be 18 I thought

Because games are for fun, I don't want to make playing games into a job because then it wont be fun.

Also good luck with that, hope it goes how you want it too.

[GoldenMerc]

I suppose if you spent longer a day you could actually maybe earn a crap wage job, but still i think its decent for a 15 and a 16 year olds pay to be fair. although my parents still woulnt call it a job and i suppose id be the first to be taxed considering there both tax inspectors aha. Never the less good job both of you's, i prob will get a PVR or what ever there called after christmas considering i have so many games now lolol. just wont be able to stream online gameplay :(

[PaulMacC]

The only difference is I am recording when I am playing. I am enjoying myself playing games. Why not make a bit of money out of something I enjoy.

[Neil]

I guess, well enjoy yourself then, I can't be assed to argue because it's pointless really.

[GoldenMerc]

I think after a while you'l get bored of mw2 and im guessing thats the only game your contracted for ?

[PaulMacC]

I am allowed to post anything on their channel. Right now MW2 is getting the most views and Im having fun playing it.

[GoldenMerc]

Oh right, thats pretty good to be fair.

[Misawa]

It's incredibly sad that people watch these videos, but if he's making money without putting in any effort, why not? It isn't a job and no one could live off it, but he's a kid earning nice cash for doing jack****, so I don't see the problem.

[J0SH]

the nuke count 2 video was possibly the worst sniping I've seen. doubt he'll get this sponser thing 'cause people wanna see beasts apparently.

When they contact me I'll let you know. Also, do you not realise it was a silenced Barret? ;) I don't care if you think I'm a bad sniper, I'm not a Grizz fan boy running round trying to do no scopes, I was trying for nuke, of course everyone misses shot, but so you think I'm a bad sniper I won't get a contract? Of course people wanna see beasts, that's why I have 'beast' gameplays ;)

[Oleh]

I was thinking about getting a HD PVR and doing this, but then i realised you had to be good to get in, im good but i cant get killstreaks if im high kills im rarely below 6 deaths

[PaulMacC]

You also need well over 4000 subscribers first and have a semi-decent commentating voice.

[Jord]

you can still do general gaming videos :P
