Lucy "Lavend" Jongebloed
I'm Lucy Jongebloed, also known online as LucyLavend. I'm a game developer and artist who loves making 3D animated tutorials to help people learn game development. I enjoy taking tricky and niche game development concepts and turn them into something easy to understand and fun to watch.
Session
Over the past 14 years I’ve been making YouTube videos, starting with scrappy Minecraft Let’s Plays that almost nobody watched. Since then I’ve learned a lot through trial and error, with several of my (relatively) recent Godot tutorials now reaching over 100,000 views.
In this talk I’ll share some of the things I’ve learned along the way: creating interesting thumbnails and titles, pacing videos to keep viewers engaged, and the process I use to plan and produce my videos. I’ll also talk about topics that come up outside the creation process, such as promoting your work, dealing with negative comments, and keeping the process enjoyable for yourself.
This talk is aimed at developers and artists who are curious about creating videos but aren’t sure where to start, as well as those who already make videos and want to take their work to the next level.
