我是出生于澳大利亚的英国人,是平面设计师、插画师和音乐人。在 2006 年确诊了 1 型糖尿病,毁掉了我的世界。但在 2010 年,遇到了 Minecraft(我的世界)。虽然饱受生理和心理疾病的折磨,但这款游戏满足了我几近强迫的对秩序和可预测性的需求,生活开始改变。
首先我开始修改游戏材质,去除噪点和所有不规则的角度。在所有线条足够平滑后,我开始熟悉红石的机制,并开始建造巨大疯狂的装置。我对电子学、二进制或逻辑门一无所知,但在这款游戏的表现下,我觉得它真的非常直观。
2011年7月30日,我决定在 YouTube 上分享我的作品。三个视频都非常火爆,随即 YouTube 管理员发来了「您被邀请加入 YouTube 合作伙伴计划!」的信息。太好了,现在我能赚钱了吗?
2011年9月,我制作了一个巨大的神庙,庙里有 notch 的脸,他将对你进行审判,赐予奖赏或惩罚。这个视频被疯传,如今到达了 1500 万的观看量,人们开始关注我。但这份关注,也成为了压力。我开始觉得,自己做的每一样东西都必须比上一个更大更好。我的作品产出开始放缓。
我的五分钟热度变得持久。我购买了专业的视频编辑软件,换了新电脑,学习了视频制作和剪辑。我做的装置越来越疯狂,视频拍摄方式也更有趣。但这还不够,重做。
Chapter I: You got red on you.
I am an Australian born Englishman a Graphic designer, Illustrator and Musician.
In 2006 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, this destroyed my world and made me mental.
Then in 2010 Minecraft was released...
---
Chapter I cont...
I was still mental (arguably more so) and riddled with diabetes, but this game appealed to my near obsessive need for order and predictability in my chaotic existence.
My creativity (one of few redeeming traits) was satiated and my life began to change...

Chapter II: Where is my mind?
1st I set about modifying the textures to de-noise and remove all non right angles.
Then after all the splines were sufficiently reticulated I started familiarising myself with redstone mechanics...
---
Chapter II cont...
I started to build crazy giant contraptions.
I had no knowledge of electronics, binary or logic gates but I found it really intuitive in this computer game context.
The functionality wasn't important there was beauty in contraption itself.

Chapter III: The begining of the end.
On July 30th 2011 I decided to share on a small upcomming video site called Youtube.
Starting with the 5 Channel Music Sequencer, my 1st video had gone viral within the week. A second video (PP Slot machine) 2 weeks later did even better.

Chapter III: cont...
After my 3rd video (Programmable Piano) went viral, the Youtube overlords took notice and sent me a message, "You are invited to join the Youtube Partnership Program!"
That's nice, can I has money now plox?

Chapter IV: The Well of Destiny
That September, I made a giant stone temple featuring @notch's face that would bestow his judgment upon thee for either reward or condemnation.
This video went mental and has recently reached 15M views. People started to pay attention...
---
Chapter IV: cont...
However, that attention comes at a price.
Expectations had risen, demand was high. I started to feel anything I created needed to be bigger and better than the last.
This was, in retrospect a poor read of the situation i was in.
My output began to slow.
---
Chapter V: We're gonna need a bigger boat.
My 5 minutes had got an extention.
I bought pro editing software, a new PC and learnt to produce and edit video.
I was creating crazier and more ambitous machines, filming them in new interesting ways.
Not good enough, try again.
