So on Sunday morning, I saw musician/singer/actor/Top-Youtuber Chester See tweet out that he was, for some reason, in my city (Surrey), all the way from LA. 

Now, I follow nearly 1000 people, so my timeline moves pretty fast. I would’ve missed this if I had logged in just a minute later. Taking it as some sort of sign to seize an opportunity to get some advice from a YouTube veteran and meet someone we look up to, Mannan/kthx and I headed out with a camera and no plan. 

Turned out he was incredibly nice and open to talk, so I decided to go ahead and just interview him for Dunya, too! I’ve met celebrities/people I look up to before, but there was a really real difference with Chester— when he says he enjoys and cares about personal connections with his fans, he really isn’t joking.

There’s also a longer, unedited version of the interview up on Dunya’s Facebook page, so be sure to check that out, too!

And, of course, visit Chester See on YouTube :)

Brought to my attention by Avatar crew member David Stripinis, this is a great 27 minute interview with director James Cameron, where he discusses many things, chiefly, in my memory at least, developing the camera technology used in the film and the years of R&D that went into producing both Avatar and his future film Battle Angel.
