Listen "Episode 35 - Camp's Signal"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to another interview on the Critical Distance Confab!
This month our guest is Chris Franklin, aka Campster, talking about his YouTube series Errant Signal. Over time, he has innovated on an established YouTube format to evolve his own personal style, featuring holistic close readings on games as well as video essays on theoretical concepts. He has also experimented with short form, quick-turnaround content, and he reveals what this experience taught him about criticism and video creation.
During our interview, we talk about his process, the technical challenges he faces in creating a video essay, as well as the "logjam" created by trying to reconcile different facets of his personal approach to criticism.
