I am delighted to celebrate this milestone with all of you. I know it is kind of a plug, but I would like to share some thoughts and considerations about one of our videos reaching 10.000 views. So please bear with me
What video you may ask? Well it is right here in all its glory: Manual spin coater Lab spin Training. The title perfectly sums up the video. It is about training people in using a particular type of tool, the “Lab spin”, which just so happens to be a manual spin coater. The video helps newcomers to microfabrication get a solid understanding of how to operate the tool. In just less than 14 min, the creator and host of the video Lean Pedersen #, provides a ton of information to the viewer.
I remember, 4-5 years ago, discussing videos like this within DTU Nanolab. The discussions often revolved around cost/benefit considerations. Essentially boiling down to: “Will the effort ever pay off?”.
I think we now have a much clearer idea about what effort it actually takes and what outcome we can hope to achieve. Yet 10k views on an instruction video, is way beyond even my loftier hopes. Combined with the facts that 70% of the viewers, according to YouTube analytics come from YouTube searches or suggestions and the average view time is a whopping 3:36 min, I just have one more thing to say:
Congratulations Lean Pedersen, you knocked this one out of the park!
