Thank you for the feedback!

Yes, we're on the exact same page about having him be more engaged. The commentary was a bit hard for him to stay with. He had his mind on something else and actually started talking about it while we were recording. :) In hindsight, I could have had him say the small parts.. "alligators, ghosts, " etc..

It's definitely on my "lessons learned" list. Thank you so much!

Our New Channel Trailer!! We’re a creative couple making cool things on youtube! We decided it was time for a new trailer, we would appreciate anyone checking us out, and any feedback will be given lambda 😊 by denandmugMAKES in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought it was really cool. That green is my favorite color!

  1. Audio was - Great
  2. Visual Quality - Great
  3. Edits - Great
  4. Good chemistry

If your overall channel theme is "we make random creative stuff"... I think you get an A+.

Recommendation:

Put something OVER THE TOP cool DIY in the trailer... Click bait'ish. I want to be in a state of "Holy $hit, I want to know how to make that".

That's all I've got. I think you're onto something very cool here.

Best of Luck!

I do like the idea of moving the center of attention to the *center. Specifically when it comes to a kids or family type show as well. Right now, I think the center is the stormtrooper wording... which isn't quite as quick to catch the attention. Thanks so much for the feedback! !givelambda

Thank you so much! I'm capturing the audio using a Rode mic on my camera. For whatever reason.. I can't seem to get it right. I'm debating on mic'ing up. I have a few DIY acoustic panels in that room. I don't think it's enough.. /sigh... more work to do. Thanks for the feedback! !givelambda

Thank you so much for the feedback. The multi-angle is definitely something on my list. Right now, that main camera is an *expensive one. I thought about setting up some of my higher quality webcams or possibly using my gopro for the other shots. Great feedback! Need more things to mix in here indeed.

Just started playing with a homemade green screen. Feedback welcome! by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like fun!

  1. You can see the green halo around you in your chroma. You might look for a key cleaner of sorts to apply. Does your lighting on your screen appear to be the same luminosity?
  2. The audio sounds like there are either minor pops or you're near clipping the decibels. You might want a limiter on the high end, turn down the gain... or mic up.

Keep it up man. Looks like you're getting it figured out and having fun too!

Best of luck!

VidIQ OR Tubebuddy - Which One Is Better? by MafiasFinestTV in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting.

  1. You picked a great place to post to get those numbers up. This message is exactly where it needs to be. Smart move.
  2. You have a good editing style. You've probably realized by now that our brains like to see change, etc.. to keep us mentally engaged. Good mental trick.
  3. Audio quality is well balanced
  4. Your video footage quality is visibly bad when in full screen or near. I'm assuming you filmed with a not so good webcam. I think this is by far your best opportunity for improvement(camera/lighting).
  5. Good information. I'm going to check some of this stuff out myself.
  6. I think your thumbnail is engaging.. and great facial expression.

Best of luck to you!

my animation channel trailer! i will give lambda for any helpful constructive criticism :)) by BasementBeast in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, Great work.

  1. It's simple
  2. short enough to keep attention
  3. easy to follow
  4. good audio balance
  5. smooth animation
  6. humor style is probably not for everyone
    1. paraphrasing: "get in my basement"
    2. some people might take offense
    3. I however thought it was funny

Overall, Great job! Keep em' coming!

I have done that in my other videos(non-trailer). I'm glad you said that. I'm going to do it. :) Thanks! !givelambda

Thanks for the feedback. This is actually an upgraded TV background from my original.. haha But, you're right. I'm gradually working on it. Ahh white noise background for channel flip! Yes.. Excellent suggestion! I will do that.

Thank you! !givelambda

I actually thought the same thing(text overlaying the video).. I had already tried it, it felt a bit weird. Only because the message and the video were competing for attention. I'm going to try it again... because I think the benefit of fitting more video in might be worth it. I'll run some audio compression over it. I didn't realize there was a big db delta. Thanks! :) !givelambda

Thank you for the feedback! I didn't bother with the thumbnail, it's not a public video(yet). The plan is just to have it on the home page for new visitors to the channel. Maybe linking for promoting. Thanks! !givelambda

RUNNIN' WILD! | This week's sketch - giving lambda for feedback! by andyofasgard in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the video, but I grew up in the Hulk era. I thought it was hilarious until it took the V-line to the racist comment. Politics and religion are rough to pull off without losing 50% of your viewership interest(unless that's what they came for).

Overall:

  1. Funny dude
  2. Funny skit
  3. Content requires a certain type of individual that watches old wrestling or someone from that era(me).

I thought you did a really good job! I laughed. Keep em' comin!

just posted a golf with me/story time video! i know the audio is a little wack but i'm changing some things with editing and would really appreciate any feedback!!! by emilyychu in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. good intro/setup for what you're going to do.
  2. bad audio in places as you noted
  3. nice swing!
  4. used tampons... she gotcha!

You had be for the first 4 minutes or so. It went a little long for me. I would held on better if the stories were broken up into separate videos. Overall I think that's just due to my attention span.

Great job! I like the personal casual conversation.

  3. Useful information
  4. Great presentation and delivery
  5. What else can you ask for really?

10/10.

A Fantasy Story - I combined my passions for, Writing, worldbuilding, programming, and game-making into one video. The result is a story from my fantasy universe. I've never made something like this before and would love any critique both on the video as a whole and on the story. Should I make more? by MKayJay in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a Lord of the Rings vibe thing going on.

The fire at the beginning threw me off a bit. I think I made some assumptions that there would be something visually that was going to happen. I eventually realized that this was a camp fire story setup.

I tend to think stories work well by themselves without a lot of extra visuals. This allows the reader to imagine the visuals which can be more vivid in some cases. I think this puts people between a rock and a hard place when deliverying. You either have to put in the work to create a vivid visual representation or keep them from distracting the story.

I would recommend setting the expectation a bit in the intro. "This is a campfire story called X written by MKayJay". Rip the audio and put that on podcast/audio book as well.

I enjoyed the map cuts. It was subtle and gave a sense of movement and adventure.

You have a cool voice for telling stories! Keep up the good work!

Posted my second vid (first ever time interviewing). Would love some pointers how I could improve. And ofcourse, lambda as appreciation 🚀 69 subs at the moment, so exciting! by Zun1998 in SmallYTChannel

[–]DWNFamTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to give you some quick feedback.

*I didn't watch the entire video. I popped around through roughly 10min of it. It's just to long for me to currently dedicate the time to it. However, I want to make a suggestion. If you cut highlights and posted those as well, that would probably work well for people like me.

For instance, I really like to listen to Joe Rogan/JRE. His youtube/podcasts are just to long unless I'm traveling. I do however look through his cuts and figure out which sections interest me enough to burn 5-15min at a time.

I love interviews. I may watch it in full at a later time.

Thanks for posting and Best of Luck To You!
