After a long time of thinking it over, I have come to a decision to discontinue the evolve330 channel. To tell you the truth, it isn't an easy decision to make and I always feared I might have to stop making videos here at some point, but I had come to the realization that not only was the channel dying in a way — my passion for it was dying as well. I started this YouTube channel at nine years old making experiments on Windows Movie Maker, but when I continued it I never had an end-goal in mind. I never had a motif to wrap my videos around, and the closest thing I can think of is "cartoons" and "editing". I didn't want to be so aimless and I've been trying to find a good niche for myself. However, the further I got away from the end of Gravity Falls, the harder it got for me to find a niche, reach an audience, and build any connection.I had often felt like I was still attached to an old name I made when I was 11 years old that was no longer relevant to me. Most people still know this channel for that. My most popular videos are some of my older videos, and it was incredibly hard to try and shift the attention to my newer videos. It doesn't matter how long you're on YouTube, but you still have to figure out how to get attention to the videos you're currently working on. Rebranding to "evolve330" was an attempt to get away from that old identity, but it didn't work as it only pushed more people away and pulled more people to Lost My Way.On top of everything, I've been more depressed in the past few years for personal reasons, mainly my (mostly fruitless) attempts at self-repair. I won't go into it, but it simply added to the low self-esteem I felt. I realized I need to push myself further outside my comfort zone, emotionally, professionally, creatively.There were parts of this channel's run that I enjoyed. Making videos about Gravity Falls really brought me closer to the community, and I could name countless people who helped shape me and the channel into what they are. It made me feel like home. But now I'm looking for a new home. A home away from some bad memories and some content that I corrupted with my own depressive thoughts, as well as a home away from the image I sought to escape.I am thankful for what support I got from all of you in the past eight-ish years and I will never forget it, but now I am in the quest for a different audience far from my original history. A blank slate for me to mold into a completely unique identity online. There are many many other people on YouTube and Instagram — editors and otherwise — who will absolutely make better content than I ever could and deserve more of your attention. I implore you to seek new people. As for me, I'm gonna start from scratch with the base knowledge I have acquired after all this time.Thank you for following along on this journey. I wish you all the best. This is Arbër signing off for the last time. Take care.

PhoenAstra
So... Phoenix and I have long since broken up, so I'd like to plug their stuff so they can get more support at the moment. They make really cool art (and they're available for commissions), fandom edits, photography (both of the real world and the gaming world), and they play Animal Crossing. That doesn't cover the bulk of what they do since they're pretty occupied, but please do go and follow them. I didn't treat them with the respect they deserve, so this is me trying to boost their stuff so they can benefit from your support.Their Carrd is here.
The Intro Collector is a YouTube channel I run where I post intros from Albanian-speaking countries like Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia.
UNCERTAIN is my very first short documentary film, produced in cooperation with DokuFest as part of the Film and Factual Media workshop. The film concerns the consequences of five Turkish teachers in Kosovo being unlawfully arrested by the Turkish Government with charges of terrorism, and how that affected the students they used to teach. The film was screened on August 7, 2019 in front of an outdoor festival audience.
I made videos as part of the MAC Media Club, heading the editing department on the school's news, as well as narration and videography.
EVOLVING PHOENIXES
Evolving Phoenixes was the music project Phoenix and I were part of, before it crashed and burned in a bout of our own non-cooperation and my own incompetence. We made music in a mix of electronic and ukulele, resulting in some pretty alternative stuff. Our three songs are available to listen on YouTube.
Real-Time Fandub is a web-series I am working on as an editor since 2016. It is where a group of people dub shows and movies with the original audio muted, without a script, and without rehearsals. You can find the work I made for the show below. I'm an administrator on the fan-powered Wiki dedicated to the show.(Not to be confused with SnapCube's Real-Time Fandub, which is a spin-off of this show)
I compiled this little page for editors to use if they need logoless footage without going into torrents. I'm not affiliated whatsoever with sites linked below, this is only for the sake of convenience and consolidation.
