Who do now we have right here? It’s Alice Liguori, a brand new member of the staff.
If you recognise Alice it’s as a result of she was beforehand at RockPaperShotgun, messing about with movies for PC nerds. Or you might need seen a few of Alice’s common Twitch streams on her personal channel.
Alice now joins the ever-lovin’ gang at VG247, as our new video producer, charged with ramping up our video output. She’ll be producing nearly all of our video work with assist from the remainder of the staff, initially specializing in gameplay, options, guides, livestreams and extra.
Alice is without doubt one of the greatest, well-respected and proficient video producers in UK games media, and I’m thrilled to have her be part of the staff. Honestly, we’re all super-pumped.
We’ve managed to construct a modest YouTube channel between us however what it actually wants is somebody to slap it into form, turning out movies that replicate our website and the pursuits of our readers. Alice is that particular person.
We have a imaginative and prescient for VG247 video, and it’s not so simple as getting an individual to “do” YouTube for us. It must replicate the content material we push out on the positioning every day, catering to the completely different wants of our readers, whether or not they pop in for 10 minutes or are right here on daily basis.
That is perhaps a video that displays and helps our written output on the positioning, or it is perhaps one thing that exists by itself as a stronger visible piece. It additionally wants to draw viewers who favour video over the written phrase, as a result of it’s 2020 and video game media shifted a very long time in the past. Are we doing the dreaded ‘pivot to video’? No. Are we doing extra video along with the lots of of written pages we produce each week? Yes. And it must be produced in our personal guerrilla, irreverent, cocky and complete model.
We wanted to rent somebody who’s a pure in entrance of and behind the digicam, who has concepts for days, and understands video higher than we do proper now. Like I mentioned, Alice is that particular person.

Stick round, we’ve bought some good shit happening.
