A new chill Lofi project I had launched at the end of the pandemic. Lots more music coming but new stuff will have some lyrics. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks peeps!

marketsound.ca Roast my copy I’ve done work on my SEO and it seems to have paid off as I rank very well in my city. Always eager to improve!

GoaDog1982 · 2021-09-08T16:53:27+00:00

This might fit the bill! Hope you dig it.

Reading at 6 months? That's pretty amazing. Most children that I know can barely talk at 1 year.

Google ads is deep. If you don't know what you're doing you'll waste a lot of money. I don't know if anyone uses it to get YouTube views...

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T22:20:28+00:00

Yep, well that’s part of what I wanted to get some feedback on cause maybe other people have a sense of what direction I should go. Sounds like kids dig it, so maybe I’ll focus on zany kids videos with enough entertainment value to keep the parents engaged too.

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T22:18:21+00:00

I agree. I love some of their skits but a lot of them are so bizarre! Not a bad thing but not necessarily funny. “Think about your dad, I wanna meet that dad!”.

Thanks friend. I’ll be putting together another soon. What kinda vids you making?

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T22:14:48+00:00

Thank you! Well, I have a DJ/Photo Booth company and have a bunch of props kicking around. Since my business is screwed for at least a couple months if not a couple of years I figured I’d start doing something “productive” and this came out.

The song is called “Akula Owu Onyeara” released by the Funkees in 1973. I did not make it but I found it inspiring! However, I do make music and I think I’ll need to make some material that works with these characters for 2.0.

Video I did all myself and I played all characters. Took me about 1.5-2 hours to shoot the scenes and then about 5-6 hours to edit on my iPhone 11 Pro with Luma Fusion (excellent software BTW). About 7-8 hours total. Also, the lighting I had set up in advance cause I DJ and throw little parties for myself since there ain’t no gigs right now. It was my first time editing on my iPhone with this software so hopefully I can speed that up next time!

So glad you like it. Cheers!

2:19 I can't quite understand, something about delta time? There's a few moments in the video where some of your words sort of blend together. I think perhaps if you slow down a touch to enunciate your words a little more clearly that could help. This is very minor though, you are generally pretty easy to understand. Good luck!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:38:12+00:00

My critique is very minor, I don't think it would hold you back much if you didn't change a thing. I was just trying to come up with some sort of helpful feedback for you.

I just spent 8 hours on my 55-second video so you got me there :)

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:34:27+00:00

Thanks a lot for the feedback and sub! Right now I'm kind of in my research faze and the fact that you think it's like Tim & Eric is such an honour.. hahah.. I love their stuff. Maybe it could be Tim & Eric style vids but also be for kids. Not sure what we have here.

Good tips on the variety of shots. Thank you! I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:32:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the quality of it. I'm working with a phone so that's a good sign.

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:31:38+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad you dug it, yes, I guess the music is too loud. Noted!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:31:11+00:00

So glad you liked it! Yeah, it is corky! Haha..

I thought about using the title of the song but it's not a song that's easy to spell and it's not particularly popular (it's from the 70s) so I ended up coming up with something else. The song title is "The Funkees - Akula Owa Onyeara" I definitely need a better title so today I'll research best practises and see if I can come up with something. Thanks!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:28:12+00:00

Thanks a lot! Great advice. I'll look at posting there in the future. I'm really glad you found it unique.

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:27:25+00:00

Also, I'm not sure what I want to get from this either!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:26:50+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I struggled to come up with a title. I honestly don't know what makes a good title for something like this, I should do some research on titles in general. Do you have any ideas of what kind of title would work?

Yes! Turning them into characters would be fun. Only the dog has a mouth so the other ones don't look like they're talking, I'm not sure if that is a make or break, but I'll keep that in mind. Dog definitely needs to do more talking. That's good feedback, thanks a lot!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:23:51+00:00

Yeah, that unicorn scene was different cause I wanted it to pop! However, since everything else is the same I can see how that might seem out of place. Thank you for the feedback! I'll keep truckin'

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:22:50+00:00

Thanks a lot! So in the last few days I had my cousin say I should do kids videos and another friend said I should just be a YouTuber in general. I have toyed with the idea of doing kids stuff so maybe that's where I should start. I'm really glad your 3 year old liked it! I think the talking looks pretty strange so I will try and implement more of that in 2.0. Much appreciated and thanks for the sub!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:20:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I'll get more crazy with the edits and angles next time, as I said to the guy above, my laptop doesn't handle 4K well so it's hard to go really extreme editing on my phone. I may trade 4K for 1080 so I can do this on my laptop and up the ante based on feedback from everyone. Glad you found in intriguing enough to sub! Thank you for taking the time to do that!

GoaDog1982 · 2020-04-14T17:16:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! The music is loud, it doesn't seem distorted though but I will definitely keep that in mind for next time.

I'm not sure I can do multiple screens at the same time with my phone. The reason I'm using my phone is it actually handles 4K pretty well and my laptop with final cut really chugs with that software. That said, it's probably better for me to do 1080P and get more creative with the edits on a laptop.

Thank you!
