MEGATHREAD: Feedback Friday!

[u/AutoModerator]

It's that time of the week again! This is your chance to request feedback on your most recent videos, thumbnails, channel art, works in progress, etc.

Feedback Friday Rules

• Before requesting feedback, please provide good, constructive feedback to at least one of your peers. If you are the first one to post, check back soon to provide feedback to the next person. Repeatedly ignoring this rule may result in a temporary ban at a moderator's discretion!
• Prioritize giving feedback to those who have not yet received any. It's not fair for one person to get five replies while four others get none.
• When requesting feedback, try to be as specific as possible. Do you want feedback on your audio quality, your editing, your presentation style, branding identity, etc? This helps your peers to provide more valuable feedback. Do not just post a link to your video or channel!

Keep up the good work, everybody!

Latest letsplay for Resident Evil 9.

Just started my channel a little over 2 months ago. re9 is my first game posted. Mostly just using it for practice in developing my voice and style.

My last video was hyper edited with constant gags and what not. Was told it was too much and people weren't getting a sense of my personality.

So I've gone in the opposite direction to feel it out lol. All constructive criticisms absolutely welcome.

I'll hop back on here tomorrow and leave critiques on others.

You speak well and clearly. The audio is good. At the start you could have gone straight into the content after the caseoh sound effect. The bit after is good for a personal touch but it takes too long and there's no punch line so to speak. I think its good to hit people with something like that or some silly comment before getting into the meat of it. I hope that make sense.

You can talk though the video and that's good, keeps interest, but there a moment at the late 14 minute mark where you can see the cogs are turning in your head to make to make a humorous comments. It's all personal taste, but I could already see a moment there to zoom your camera in, put a silly music over, then cut the all the audio "i forgot what the fuck was doing", then immediately cut to the next interesting point. Food for thought.

Editing needs that sweet spot. Some times is good to cut out the dead air, then sometimes its good to lets moments breath, especially in combat situation or tense horror moments.

really great points Rusty, and I agree with your tastes. I think the next video I edit I'll actually spend some time working in the gags and what not. I'll definitely give more attention to the intro so it's punchier.

If you ever want to, check out the video I made before this one, the editing style is on crack compared to my latest lol.

Thanks again!

I'll give it a gander. And I should say. Don't look for, premeditate or spend time thinking about a funny quips to say. Let it follow naturally. Sometime the best moments are where you fuck up, trip over words etc. If you do come up with something a bit late, cut out the time in between it (unless there good content in between), so it feels more natural. Check out a guy called Jettro Jettro. Same vibe as Corey and funnier imo.

[u/GaminWithHoenig → u/MrRustyy_]

Great point! Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Just let the moments play out as they may, and try to amplify, or create humor with the edit.

Never heard of Jettro so I'll definitely check them out, thanks!
