PauseStopRewind got a chance to sit down on Skype with Peter Coffin and peek into his comedic mind. What started out as a normal interview quickly turned into an over an hour long conversation about bad 80s movies, popular YouTubes, Lady Gaga’s penis, Kanye West “I’m happy for you” lines, amongst many other topics. The Twitter Questions used came from HighwayPirate, Hossguy, and UniqueBobby.

PauseStopRewind: Why did you choose xGoodTimesAreGonex for your YouTube name? When were the good times?

xGoodTimesAreGonex: That’s actually a funny question. I decided to choose my youtube username one day when me and a couple of my friends were O’Charley’s. While I was there, I was still thinking of a youtube username to use. Then, finally, I saw a small little O’Charley’s pamphlet on our table that said “Where Have the Good Times Gone?” And, at that time, I chose my official username.

Were you always interested in creating videos and is this something you see as a career?

Honestly, I was not interested, nor never thought about going into the filming and editing business until the beginning of this year. Thereafter, though, it’s pretty much one of my greatest passions!

Everyone has a little story as to why they decided to upload videos onto YouTube. What is your story?

To tell you the honest truth, I have no story behind why I decided to upload videos to youtube. I was truly just bored to death one day. So I made a video! haha

Your style seems to varies between videos. Some are funny such as your five facts video while others are more thought provoking like “Elements”. Why do you jump from one style to the next?

My video genres tend to vary a lot because, like in my WR∑NCH video, I’m showing my comedic side, and on a video like Hyp-Matic, I’m showing my serious, artistic. To tell you the truth, I believe that every filmer has to show both of these sides.

Do your ideas come naturaly to you or do you brain storm them?

A vast majority of the time, my video ideas will naturally come to me. Sometimes, however, during a ‘writer’s block’, I usually have to take some time to brainstorm.

Once you have an idea how do plan for you videos, and how long do they typcially take to complete from start to finish?

Once I get my idea, I usually don’t plan my videos. I simply just elaborate on that idea and thrive off of improv. It usually takes about 6 hours to shoot, and from 7 hours to 5 days to edit.

It’s been a couple of weeks since you uploaded a new video. Do you currently have anything in the works? If so, can you give us a hint as to what it might be?

Well, in the past few weeks, I’ve been working on a WasteTimeChasingCars style music video. As one should know, these aren’t so easy to edit!

How did the idea for Elements come about and can you explain to us a little more about the meaning behind it?

The idea for the Elements video came up right after I had gotten back from a camping trip with a few of my friends and my dad. The nature just inspired me to make it. As you can see in the beginning of the video, there are a couple quotes about life. In reality, I was just trying to show life in a different way in this video.

The look and feel of your videos really jump out at me. They have this boldness to them if that makes sense haha. What effect do you use to create this?

Well the effect I generally use to create this “boldness” is the ‘hard lighting’ effect. It seems to put an edge on everything in the clip.

What movie editing program and camcorder do you currently use?

At the moment, I edit my videos mostly with iMovie 09; but I sometimes with edit with Final Cut Express. Right now, I use a Sony HD Mini DV Camcorder (DCR-HC62).

I understand you’re in high school. Has anyone ever seen your videos and came up to you and asked about them?

Actually, before anyone knew about my videos, a girl at the mall had spotted me out. That has only happened once though! haha

Besides YouTube, what are your other hobbies and interest?

Other than youtube, I love skateboarding. Could not live a day without it. Also, I love running in country & track. But, most of all, I just love hanging out with my friends.

Since becoming active in the YouTube community, how has your life changed?

Oh yeah! My life has actually changed greatly. The thing that has actually changed my life since joining the youtube community would have to be schedule. This is because, to make videos and interact on youtube, you really have to cut out time in your schedule to do this.

What should we expect from you as a YouTube in the future?

In my future on youtube, I believe that you guys should expect and great amount of more video sketches and, most of all, some original music videos.

PauseStopRewind: Why did you decide to start uploading videos onto YouTube?

MissAlissa15: I started posting really amateur videos during the summer of 2007. I honestly do not remember why, I just remember feeling like I wanted to do something different and none of my friends really even knew what YouTube was at the time. When I attended my first youtube gathering in June 2008, a year later, I met all of these amazing people and it inspired me to take it seriously. My account had been hacked and deleted earlier that year, so I took that as an opportunity to start over. When my account was restored, I had no more videos. That was the beginning of my youtube career.

Who started uploading videos onto YouTube first, your or Adorian Deck, or did you both start at the same time?

Adorian definitely started way before me. He heard about youtube before me, and he started taking it a lot more seriously a lot earlier than I did. When I met Adorian in the summer of 2008, he looked so young to me. So when I saw his partnered channel with 2,500 subscribers, I was shocked. That was another one of the reasons I started taking it seriously.

How much of an influence do you and Adorian have on each other when it comes to making videos?

We definitely push each other to continue to produce videos frequently. As far as specific videos ideas we don’t really inspire each other, as we are very creative people alone. When we get together, however, is when we do our best work. Adorian and I made a “Good Girls Go Bad” music video together and an interactive series of videos on my channel together. These, in our opinion, are some of the best videos we’ve made. We’re both excited to collaborate a lot more when we’re in college together.

You have a very interesting comedic style. How would you describe it and who are some of your influences?

I think my comedic style is commentary. I don’t ever really think of “jokes” but rather stories or concepts that can relate to a lot of people. I don’t even find the “joke” type of comedy very funny at all. Basically, I just think of things that people do, or things that I find interesting about people, and I comment or make fun of it in a creative way. It’s very sarcastic, and I’ve noticed people’s reaction to my videos are, “It’s funny because it’s true!” My comedic influences include CommunityChannel (of youtube), Dane Cook, and Demetri Martin.

As a YouTuber, what makes you stand out from the rest?

I feel like I say what I think, and I am not afraid to be honest in my videos. Some people were offended by my “How to be Emo Famous” video, but really, I was just saying what people were thinking. I can say what others are afraid to.

Some of your videos are very original. One that comes to mind is one of your earliest ones, “Sexual Computer”. Where do you often get these ideas from?

Sexual Computer was an idea I had for a video for about 3 months before I ever made it. I originally wrote the script on the back of a receipt from the dollar tree in the summer of 2007. I get video ideas from people, and observing their actions, at least now I do. Back then, I never really talked about people in my videos, but rather myself or things around me. Sexual Computer was one of those videos, I was playing around with the text to speech in windows and got the idea.

Once you have an idea for a video, how do you plan for it and how long does it typically take to complete from start to finish?

I have my video ideas at the most unfortunate times. Past midnight. So when I have school at 7 in the morning, I lie in bed and debate whether or not to get up and grab a notebook and record my ideas. As an artist, I have a creative “time” in which I am the most creative, and do my best work. That time is, unfortunately, when I’m trying to fall asleep. It takes about a week to form an idea, film it, edit it, and get it posted.

What would you say is the hardest process of creating your videos?

The hardest is probably the filming. I am not afraid to say that the “camera man” aspect of filmmaking is not my strong point. I am interested in the editing, and the idea aspect of it all. I find myself having to film and re-film because it’s not the easiest part for me. I think that the lighting is also a really hard part, I do not want to be a Gaffer (lighting director).

How have you improved pass few months as a YouTuber and where would you like to improve on next?

I have improved on my video quality, and my editing ability. I feel like my knowledge of my editing program, Sony Vegas 8, grows a little every time I use it to make a video. As my knowledge grows, the quality of my videos grows along with it. Post production and advertising myself has also gotten a lot better. I feel like with YouTube and the film industry in general puts a lot of value on promoting the final project and getting it out there. YouTube has trained me and prepared me for being able to do that. Over the last few months especially that has gotten a lot better.

You did two videos, “How to become a YouTube Celebrity” and “How to Become Emo Famous”. Are there any current plans to continue the “How to become” series? If so, can you give us a hint as to what the next one might be?

I think the “how to” videos will continue as long as I continue to watch and observe the youtube community. I don’t really believe in video series. Once my video ideas on a particular topic have run out, I don’t see any sense in continuing it. If I get another idea for another how to video, I will create another one. But if I were to call it a series, I might feel obligated to make another, even if the idea wasn’t as good as a video not related to the topic.

Being a teenage girl on YouTube, how strict are your parents about your videos? Do you ever have ideas, but choose not to do them because of your parents?

It took me about a year to finally tell my parents that I was on youtube. It was when I started to take it seriously, and the idea of youtube partnership was more tangible, that I decided to tell them. My mom continues to watch my videos, and will always put in her 2 cents. But to be honest, I don’t really get much out of it. My parents aren’t super strict, they kind of just trust me to make myself look good.

How much as YouTube impacted your life. Also, has it influenced where you see yourself in the future?

YouTube has changed me in more ways than I can say. My personality has changed so much, and I have made so many amazing friends. YouTube is like college, in the sense that it is a lot of people living in a community of people that are interested in the same thing as you. And you can talk and collaborate with the other people in your community. That is something I love. Before YouTube I wanted to be a psychiatrist, and YouTube helped me to refocus my ambitions and goals, and it was because of YouTube that I decided to become an artist.

What would you like to say to your fans and supporters out there?

Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I am so grateful to have a group of people that watch my work and give me constant feedback. I would not be making videos if it were not for all of you. Because let’s be honest, who would continue making videos if nobody was watching? So keep watching, keep commenting, keep telling me if my video sucks….Because I would not be the future filmmaker that I am today without all of you. I love you all! <3

Twitter Questions:

CopyAndChase: If you could win 4,000,000 dollars for eating a plate of cow manure would you?

I would eat just about anything for 4 million dollars. Especially if it was only a plate! I mean, come on… why not, right? It’s not like it’s a dumpster filled with cow manure, it’s just a plate! I think a lot of people would do it too.

Even with your recent video, a lot of people, such as @ThatZak and meegonewildee, were wondering what’s the story with your relationship with Adorian Deck?

We’re best friends. But I’m pretty sure Adorian wants my bod. When I was staying at his house, I woke up in the middle of the night and he was working on his Edward Cullen impression by standing at the foot of my bed and watching me sleep…. But seriously, we’re just friends. All of our friends and family members believe we will get married one day, and it’s something Adorian and I joke about from time to time, but we are really just freakishly close friends.
