What is it like to grow up in the social media era? What kind of effect do you think it had on your personalities?
There is never a dull moment growing up in the social media era. Social media has definitely affected our personalities in many different ways. Some people may argue that social media depletes your social skills and makes you become more introverted while we think that it does the exact opposite. We have met some of our best friends through the apps that we use on a daily basis. Social media has also helped us to become better and more confident public speakers. Even though we're only looking at a camera when we film, our YouTube videos are still going out to millions of individuals. This made filming very nerve-racking at first, but after we built our confidence with public speaking, it became more and more fun.
What made you decide to share your life with the world?
We share our lives on the Internet because we feel that we have a lot in common with our viewers. We believe that by publicizing our every day lives, our viewers are able to connect to us on a much more personal level which we feel is very important because we want them to know that we are no different from them.
When did you realize that this is becoming something beyond the normal vine user when you first started out?
After months of making vines together for fun in the summer of 2013, we realized that others were finding interest in the content we were uploading to the platform. We stayed consistent with our uploads and eventually we started to gain followers and build an amazing fan base.
How do you usually come up with the ideas for your weekly YouTube videos?
A lot of our ideas that you see in our weekly YouTube videos come from the crazy things that we do off camera. Coming up with ideas for our videos is a hard process to explain because usually the ideas hit us at random times, even when we're not thinking of video ideas.
How do you decide who publishes each video?
Once we decide on an idea, and both approve of the idea, we then publish the video for viewers to enjoy it. We will only upload a video if we are BOTH in love with what we created.
Are there any celebrities you wish to feature in your videos?
Lil Wayne.
You're on tour this summer! How excited are you for this? And what can your fans expect?
We are EXTREMELY excited to be on tour all summer and meeting our fans! Our fans can expect a lot of laughs, live challenges (as seen in our YouTube videos), exclusive merch, live music by our special guest Alex Aiono, and a lot of hugs!
How would you like your career to develop from this point? What are your dreams?
Our goal for our career's is to move into acting in movies and remain active on social media. |
