Hi I am Conor O’Grady!
I made a YouTube Channel because I liked to watch other creators and thought having my own would be fun. So here we are! I get to make videos with my friends and share them with all of you.
When I was 9 years old I took my first trip out of the country to Costa Rica on a mission to see a sloth in the wild. Don’t ask me why but I just find them interesting.
I recently learned Adobe Photoshop on a Zoom Call with my Aunt Cara! I was determined to create my own custom sloths. We created a Minecraft Server for a Virtual 10th Birthday Party. Parties are a Big Deal in our family so we had to be creative for our First Virtual One. No detail was spared. Who knew Pandas could make such great sloths!
My Hobbies
Creating
I am always looking for fun ways to be creative and have fun with friends. One year I decided to make everyone in my class a custom Flip Book personalized for their interest. It was so much fun drawing each card out then binding them together.
Drawing
I have always loved to create with a pencil and paper. My favorite things to draw are cartoons, donuts, and of course sloths. I learned most of my techniques teaching myself the skill by watching fellow youtubers. I even brought a Praying Mantis to life in a 2D school project from one of my sketches. Teaching Art would be an awesome job to have when I am older.
Magic
Ok It might have been The Penn & Teller: Fool Us Show that sparked an interest or a trip to a real magic store on Roosevelt Blvd in California where I got my first real props. Either way learning how to surprise my audience is one of the biggest draws that pulled me into a fascination with magic. When I was 5 years old I even stared as the featured magician at my cousin’s birthday party. I had a trap door I made from an old patio table and a box.
Video Editing
I decided I was not willing to sell an endless amount of popcorn for my 4th Grade Fundraiser to NASA. So instead I created a Video to Fundraise on Facebook. I was able to raise the funds for my whole trip. From there I realized how far a video can go if it is shared. Not to mention the support you can receive from your community.
Climbing
Give me an Obstacle or a Tree and I will find my way to the top. One of my favorite local places to climb is Driftwood Beach. The only thing that bums me out about climbing is No Climbing signs.
