Not sure whether it's advancing age (and the curmudgeonliness that goes along with it) or the hyper-saturation of video 'content' these days...but my patience and attention span for any but the best you-tube type videos these days is about a minute.
Hearing some guy fumble for words to improvise as he opens a box and counts sprues for the camera is most often just excruciating. Having worked in media advertising for some years...where the dictum is, "figure out your message and get it across as quickly and concisely as you can"...watching some well-meaning eight-ball with (apparently) all the time in the world sharing his modeling 'wisdom' is something akin to root-canal.
(End of old-guy rant. Can I have my pudding-cup now? )

Bish Tickmagnet I'd prefer to spend that 15 to 20 hours on my own build. As soon as i open a build thread and see its a video, i click straight off. I would rather just see photo's and an explantion with detailed pics of any images.

Even movies are only 2-3 hours long. Cut that down to like 15 minutes and you might have something.

Ohms,
If it's something you want to do, go for it and let the viewers decide. Would I watch something that long? Depends on the subject and how entertaining the presentation is. I don't know if YouTube will let you upload a video of that length without having to break it up.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Here, but only a couple a year. Check out "Grafting a Forrestal hull..." in ships.
Your idea has a lot of merit and it's been done in various ways, but it is a good suggestion.
I'd rather watch something like that as opposed to the endless vids where you spend 15 minutes watching some one you can't see take all of the parts of a kit out of a box.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
GMorrison I've never built a model in 15-20 hours. More like 150-200 so I wouldn't want to inflict that on anyone. Bill

Wow! Where does a person go to see your work?
Into model building since September 2019. Also into books (mostly science-fiction), comic books, and gaming.
Guys (and girls?)! You're not getting it. Maybe I'm at fault for not wording the title properly.
I'm not asking "Who would enjoy sitting and watching a 20-hour long video, Stanley Kubrick-style?"
I'm asking, "Who thinks we could do with a few of these-type videos on YouTube?"
Think about it: what's one of the purposes of these forums? To ask questions about detailed things. Why not have a video in which you could skip to the part where the professional modeler him/herself shows you practically & visually how they do it?
If you don't need it, it would only be another one of millions of videos on YouTube you don't need, but I know for me, when I was starting out, I would've loved something like this: to be able to skip and forward AT MY PACE, not at the pace of the video creator, purely for reference.
I completely expected people to dismiss the idea, but as a thought experiment, would NO ONE ELSE be interested in this? It would be like being in a workshop, only this workshop can be accessed at any time.
Thoughts.
Not me.
Exactly. There is only so much time in a day. And perhaps like golf, this hobby is far more interesting to be doing than the be watching.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

An uncut build video would be hard to watch. With proper camera angles decent script and good editing, a short video showing the important stuff would be better. If I did an uncut video, the run time could span years! And who would want that?
“Ya ya ya, unicorn papoi!”
ohms Sounds crazy, I know. But I can't help but think it would be such a good resource for people. Put literally everything in there except the drying times. Surely the world could do with two or three of such videos. Has anyone ever considered this?

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
You would literally be watching paint and glue dry.
Tojo72To be effective, it should be broken into sub assemblies that could be accessed at the point needed
Right?! I'm thinking it could solve so many of the questions on this forum.
Even simple steps like cutting the pieces off the sprue can lead to questions, like when you're dealing with tiny pieces, for example ("How do I cut something so small without breaking it?")
I'd be so for this.
