What’s up guys, it’s Jeffrey So I really love making these YouTube videos
but because most of them are made at home, some people like to under value how much work
I put in and I REALLY don’t appreciate that!
Oh wait, what are you doing today? Eum, I’m just going to shoot a YouTube video
Perfect! so since you’re not doing anything, can you wash the dishes, mow the lawn and
eum… Oh yeah! Rebuild the whole roof. REALLY?!
That’s right, I’m talking about you dad! I don’t have time for chores…
Luckily for me, this year, for the first time, I’ve been invited to Attend VidCon. So VidCon
is an annual YouTube convention in California where more than 26,000 people attend it to
meet their favourite Youtubers and for us YouTubers to meet our viewers. So when I learned
the news, aha… Yeah, quickly packed and got the hell out of here…
I took a flight to California and from there, I met our driver.
Nice to meet you I’m Jeffrey Michael
His name was Michael Water anybody?
Thank you very much I quickly realized that Michael
was already way cooler than my dad We then drove to Anaheim at the hilton hotel
where the event was going to take place Security had to make sure I was on the list
but once we got in I was escorted by security guards and crew members
I have no idea where we’re going
Thank you And eventually
I finally checked into my hotel
Oh look! Looks like we got a letter from VidCon Oh no! Look at that!
A new generation of superstar [Laugh] That’s me!
You influence millions of people daily and inspire us a million times more
Get out there and express yourself Hearten the world and live in the moment
Welcome to VidCon From the YouTube team
But that’s a cool pillow This is smaller than a body-pillow but…
it’ll do
Alright got to go
[Door close]
It didn’t take long and I had to get out of my room and start the day
I was asked to go to this private fitting from this clothing company called Calvin Klein
Not sure if you’ve heard of them before
They basically told me that I could choose
several outfits for me to rock during the event
The process didn't take too long cause the cool people at Calvin Klein already had a
few set of clothes in mind ready for me to try on
After a few moments, we packed up what we liked and I was good to go
VidCon upped their security this year so we had to take these
FBI Secret agent looking cars that would take us to the convention
From there, I had to take a golf cart that would take me directly to my panel
And Jeffrey Chang! [Crowd cheer]
The first panel was called Race and Representation on YouTube
Among other great YouTubers, we discussed diversity in the media and how multicultural
backgrounds have influenced online content and communities
After that, I went on a different stage where I got interviewed by People Entertainment
During this interview, I was asked on
how I started on YouTube and what were my future plans
I then had to go to a different room where I was called upon by AwesomenessTV for another
for another interview
For this one, I was asked personal questions
and quizzes like If I had a celebrity crush
What was my favourite food and What was I looking forward to during VidCon
And then I finally found some time to just RELAX
I discovered this lounge with cool music and this comfortable blue chair
And… euh… Wait a minute…
Is that a giant picture of me on the Instagram Billboard?
What?!
Moments later, I was back at it again on golf carts
navigating underground to get to my next panel
We went through this giant elevator that carried a dozen of us
For the first time during this convention,
I was going to moderate this next panel called SMALL, RISING & ESTABLISHED
It gathered creators that I admired a lot such as
Yulin Kuang, Josh Elkin, Casey Neistat Craig Benzine and Ben Willingdorf
We discussed the similarities and differences in our work flow and how we communicate through
online platforms like YouTube
More than 1000 creators came to listen to us
And yeah, that is how my VidCon came to an end.
And before I knew it, I had to pack my bags Get picked up and fly back home
All set! [Laugh]
[Close closes]
Agh, that was crazy Everyone I met there including the VidCon
team were so sweet and treated me like some sort of superstar
I was so overwhelmed by everything that I kept thinking that I don’t really deserve
all of that but now that it’s over, I realized I often forgot to embrace the moment
All of this experience is of course because you supporting my videos so thank you so much
for being part of this big online family I really don’t take it for granted
Anyways, I’ll see you soon in the next video! Thank you guys so much for watching
This is JeffreyFever and I’m pressing the record button, NOW.
Peace!
See? I told you this YouTube work was useful!
Yeah… you’re right…
But what does this have to do with you having to do chores?
Go clean your room!
