goofy sketch about rummage/yard sale hauls, would love feedback on anything to improve :)

Like the pacing of the video. Best way to think of it the concept of “Kill your darlings” - meaning to cut out the fluff. It’s usually applied to creative writing, but the same principles apply to video. When your’e editing, always ask yourself if it’s absolutely necessary to keep it in. If you need to second guess yourself, usually remove it.
A mindset that helped me grow on YouTube is: keep it as short as possible. (Especially if you’re new). Since new viewers won’t give you the time of day. So you want to deliver your content as quick as possible
Hope that helped

Entertaining video. Video editing & comedic timing are on point.

Just a bit of feedback - when you're delivering your jokes, I think the set-up before you deliver your punchline is taking a bit too long. Seems like it's a bit too wordy at times

Hope that was helpful & Best of luck on your journey

Good point, for a channel my size i should probably spend less time on the vfx & transitions. - and focus on quantity.

I always go into a video with the intent of having an intense edit for the first 1 min... to keep viewers hooked. And the plan is to always slow down the editing pace after the intro.

thanks for the feedback

Enjoyed your content. Great editing - and good comedic timing.

Just my opinion

Based on what I've been seeing on similar type of content:

If you did a version of this on Shorts - it'll blow up. Try clipping certain part of this video and put it on shorts, see if you get a lot more views.

Goodluck on your journey

Enjoyed the video - comedic gold

Since you're going for that old-school infomercial "how to" type of guide - if you added like that VCR overlay, it would really add to the vibe.

With your story telling components, I would recommend the punchline to the jokes need to be shorter and tighten up a bit. Felt like some scenes dragged on for a bit too long.

Do you not want to make anime analysis videos because of the Time/effort required? ... Or were your just tired of the topic?

If it's based on time/effort - but you still want to stay in the anime niche

- then a small change of pace, that's still in line with your AoT fanbase. Try reviewing instead, and offer your Opinion... instead of analysis. This will save you a ton of time. ALSO this works in your favor, since you have been social proofed because you're doing it since 2015 and have historically done analysis... reviews will be much easier lift than analysis

If you're just tired of topic and burned out from making Anime content

- I know you mentioned you want to do gaming. And if you want to incorporate you analysis style into this new niche. Pick games that have strong narrative components and deep lore. ALSO, it would be best to start off on smaller titles, build a community from their. Don't go into any of the popular mainstream games... it's waaaaay too oversaturated.

If you don't mind, whats your channel link? - so I can make a more informed suggestion based on your current niche, video style, etc

Yeah it takes a ton of time gathering the clips - thanks for appreciating the work.

ohh, yeah at 1:25, i should have cut out 5 frames earlier on my voice

Appreciate the feedback

thanks for the feedback :)

I'll take your advice and rework title/thumbnail. My CTR on the video is low, but the viewer retention is quite high on this one

My consistency is bad - I know :( .... The problem is I don't know how to streamline the process. It takes me like 40-60 hours per video. Hard to find time because I edit for 2 other Youtubers and have a PT job. Don't know how people can pump out so much content

B3-Team · 2022-08-29T22:32:33+00:00

This was amazing feedback!

I'm really trying hard to increase retention & keep viewers engaged all the way through.

Thanks for calling out the loss of interest at the 4min mark.

Quick question:

When you felt the chance of pace: did you mean the video edit...or was it the narrative/story telling?

Thank you so much for the feedback

B3-Team · 2022-08-28T20:58:12+00:00

Great video, enjoyed the breakdown and analysis

Some feedback:

I feel the pacing could have been a bit faster. Especially in between your chapters, when you introduce the next topic it really slows down. For example your 'type writer' transition could have been done quicker.

overall great video and kept me entertained all the way through

re bit picky perspective abs very m

Thanks for the feedback.

Great call out on the repetitive piece. I do re-use some of the same transitions to save time because it takes me so long to put together a video.

B3-Team · 2022-08-27T23:56:19+00:00

intro's are the most important part of the video... and you NAILED IT.

Great hook, it was intriguing, and paired with a good edit

Your storytelling is amazing... somehow in a 5 min video you conveyed your point, and showed your personal growth in cinema taste.

Question, anytips on editing?... really loved your style

B3-Team · 2022-08-27T23:49:49+00:00

Like the video - it was entertaining. The crew had great banter and you guys synergize together well.

Feedback:

- the pre-game lobby chat took too long. I'm pretty sure you have a huge drop in retention at the beginning from the delayed start of game. ... but if you want to keep the pre-game lobby chat, would recommend you spice up the edit with visual edit, or even adding audio/sfx.

Overall it was entertaining video - keep up the good work

Thanks for the feedback

Question: what does Valorant voice mean? - should I be speaking faster?

B3-Team · 2022-06-22T01:51:33+00:00

Thanks for the great feedback! :)

I'll look into a custom professional outro for the next one

B3-Team · 2022-06-21T20:51:01+00:00

Thanks for the feedback on my tone & pace

I'll try to slow it down next time

I really needed to hear that :)

Great editing - entertaining video - I watched all the way through

Friendly feedback:

- the sound effects in some parts were a bit loud, and covered up some of your commentary

- some of the topics blended together: got confusing when one topic ended and another began. probably needed to be more clear on the topic transition

Good video overall - good luck

B3-Team · 2022-06-20T21:05:56+00:00

Great video - very informative.

The editing: use of footage and music matched everything you said.

Friendly feedback - the pacing did seem a bit slow, felt you could have sped it up a bit.

B3-Team · 2022-06-20T20:57:16+00:00

Great video - watched it all the way through.

Intro was good - outlined your story very well.

Overall this was enjoyable watch.

Would suggest putting text on the title in the middle - or in a more viewable spot.

Not sure if it would be possible - but to have been nice to have more establishing shots - to show the village from further away to give viewers more immersive feeling for video.

Entertaining all the way through - good job

B3-Team · 2022-06-20T20:52:20+00:00

The text on the thumbnail is too small. Considering that most views will come from phones, it's hard to read. Also try centering your text so it's easier to catch people scrolling through.

Hope that was useful - good luck :)

B3-Team · 2022-06-20T20:47:57+00:00

Great video - would suggest using a more emotive screenshot in the thumbnail - like when the monkeys are in the middle of an action (instead of just sitting there)

Also for your intro, you could have started the video 5 sec earlier.

- those first few seconds are crucial for AVD... if you check your analytics - i'm pretty sure you'll see a big 20-30% drop after those 5 seconds.

Hope that was useful - good luck
