We have enough internet reviewers doing videos, articles, whatever.


So what's one more? Film reviews and criticism are a hell of a lot of fun, more people should analyze why they like something and see if they can differentiate between 'i like it, but it's bad' and the compliment.

That's a big part of why I'm nervous; there's just so many reviewers out there that I might get missed.

I want to focus on special effects in movies, pointing out especially good ones, explaining how I think they were done, things like that, while also explaining and commenting on the plot.

I think that's a very particular niche (I don't frequent reviews so I could be wrong), and I think there might be people who appreciate what you'll do.

Go for it. At worst, you failed your expectations, you can remove your videos. At best...who knows? It's scary to try something, but it's worse always wondering what if...personally.

I remember kid's shows that focused on similar stuff. This was back when special effects were physical stuff like prosthetics and such, not just cgi and it makes me think that I haven't seen a show or a review like that in a while.

If you have the knowledge, it could be a niche show. It's much more art-minded than most other reviews, and I think that could give you an edge; you could target yourself at aspiring digital artists, or something like that. Make a solid plan for a few episodes and how you're going to put yourself out there (a lot of reviewers started with mediocre equipment, so that may not be as much of a problem as you think), and then give it a shot! Even if it takes a while to work out, or it doesn't and you feel you need to drop it or take a break, you can always come back to it when you feel you're wiser! There's no limit to the amount of times you can try.

OP I know film journalists who make a good living out of this stuff. I think if you start then you are building up a portfolio and can go and study journalism or film studies and it would help towards a career.

You might as well go for it if you want to pursue it.
