Two, and on a similar note, when you weren't talking and instead had just shots of (I mean, I should assume) you working out, it was a little weird for me. I'm much more used to swelling outtro music, or music to fill the gaps between talking, but it seemed a bit uncoordinated. So, assuming you still go with the classical stuff, perhaps time the crescendoes with the working-out footage. It'll give the activity a more, uh, dramatic? Epic? feel, while still keeping the focus on you, both talking and performing the activity. I know it'll probably be hard to find music that matches up _perfectly_ with that, but there should be something to match them a little closer.
And, if that's not a thing that works, perhaps try putting voiceover on the workout vids. As it stands, it's something between vloggy and fitblog, which while the vlog would be fine for intro/outtro, it again seems somewhat disjointed to have there be face/notface segments in such a short video. I know you mentioned it was a shorter-than-others video, but usually cuts between face is used for steps, or distinct segments. Perhaps that'll change in the longer videos, but as a first impression from the first video I've seen of yours, that's just how it came off.
Editing, sound/camera quality, etc was all nice for a small channel, not much to say on that other than it works.
I did notice the camera wobbled while you were at the gym-- was someone holding that for you? Perhaps invest in a small tripod, that way if a gym buddy can't make it, there's still a setup, and it'll also seem more stable and professional.
The last thing would be the script. I don't know if you chose it as the "style", but another reason it came off as an odd mix of vlog and fitvid was how it seemed semi-scripted. There was human error, not edited out, and it seemed very genuine, but the "I have thought a whole ton about this" style of genuine. It's charming, in its own way. Not sure if that's what you're going for, but it's how it seemed.
Overall, I liked it! You seemed to have a lot of passion and interest in what you talked about, and gave a nice, simple overview of everything, which I liked, especially as someone who doesn't go around a lot of fitness sites/boards/etc. You've got a good camera presence, and spoke, for the most part, quite clearly and articulately. But again, just my impressions, and I don't do a whole lot of video editing so I am not entirely sure how much of this is "person who has no clue what they're talking about tries to give advice to pro" versus "hey I noticed (x)". But I hope you find it helpful!
@Nix That is quite some comentary, I really appreciate it!
You are right the music was a bit hectic and I do think I will do a headshot intro then voiceover of workout footage in upcoming videos with better music syncing. One problem I've encountered that was a bit unexpected is that classical music is all lible to be copyright flagged, it happened to this video lol. So I am considering my music options, though I am keen to keep using classical.
Girlfriend is my cameraman, I think that tripod-filmed workout footage is a bit dry and less 'natural', I don't know, definitely just my personal opinion
I really appreciate the feedback man
I try to do things thoroughly, no sense in halfassing analyses.
Interesting that classical can be copyright flagged-- not sure what all YouTube will take, and what all you like, but a quick search does show some potential options. I'm no lawyer, can't help much with that. Hopefully it'll be resolved easily...
I can see where you're coming from with that-- I'll agree, it is a lot more clinical, and I'm not saying your girlfriend does a poor job of it, at least not in that video. That is your aesthetic choice, and honestly, it didn't bother me, I just vaguely noticed it, felt you should know.
Not a problem! 👍 Link the next one, when it's out, and I'll go through the video again, if you'd like. And best of luck with your cuts, man! Or, should I say, best of willpower?
Holiday season treats will be my ultimate test 😭
This is exactly what I thought would happen. Leaving the Russian sphere was an invitation for the EU and the jews of Brussels to completely take over in Kiev and resume white genocide. Their only hope now is a coup by nationalists and the Azov army, or an invasion by Russia. Fuck John McCain I hope he burns in Hell.
tfw Ukraine's only hope now is a US backed nazi coup against Kiev and the EU.. The Trump era is truly a time of wonder..
Usa backs azov?
We armed and funded them under obama to fight Russia
Hmm, well we did the same with isis so why not
And now if and when they're turning their guns on Kiev, Trump may continue to fund and arm them against Merkel and Brussels.
Ironically, Russia may secretly do so as well
>2017
>Russia and America arming nazis to defeat Germany
What a time to be alive..
Nah.. Optimistic would be saying the Visegrad group and China would support an Azov coup as well lol
Kill me
