ADVICE

Follow Genuine Interest For Projects

  • Do only make videos (or projects) that genuinely grip you, because forced topics fizzle out.
  • Let curiosity lead; Grey says interest, not schedule, determines which videos succeed.
ANECDOTE

Research Became Two Linked Projects

  • CGP Grey described researching the Statue of Liberty and federal land as a single intertwined project that became two videos.
  • He dove into court transcripts and libraries until the topic split into two related scripts.
INSIGHT

Go Offline To Find Rare Sources

  • Every Frame a Painting avoided internet sources to surface rarer, higher-quality references in libraries.
  • Deep, off-web research uncovers unique 'gemstones' others miss and yields more original work.
