I'm Harris Bomberguy! That's not my real name, but it's close.
I work as a freelance writer, editor, and animator, and have worked for, among others, films of the School of Life. But I also make videos of my own for the internet. That's probably why you're here.
A lot of videos on the internet are funny. A lot of videos on the internet are smart. My goal has always been to do both at the same time - to make a useful or important point in the guise of comedy. My videos cover a variety of topics and styles, but the overall focus is on analysing media and trying to contribute to the discussion.
I aim to release around three videos a month. I usually end up making less.
The content I create is often too off-the-cuff, or weird, or esoteric for a mainstream audience, which is why I use Patreon to support my work.
You get access to bonus, extra content I either make specially for my backers, or which I thought was too experimental or out-there for the full videos and didn't want to risk inflicting on a more casual audience.
You can also get your name in the credits, or have your name spoken out over the ending of videos as a direct way of thanking you for your direct help with making these videos possible.
Supporting me helps me take more risks with my projects - a lot of material I cover is copyrighted, and Fair Use is more of a guideline than a law, making it impossible for me to ever really profit from monetising my work. With your support, I can afford to continue to cover topics in a valuable way without fear of being rendered incapable of feeding myself in the space of a single copyright claim.
The money also goes to better production equipment and also the various props and bits of software that get used in the course of making internet videos.
A less foolhardy critic would tell you there's no easy answer, and it depends on what you personally prefer.
But there's actually a right answer, and that answer is Xavier: Renegade Angel. There are no other correct answers, and if you disagree, you are wrong.
