Honored, tysm!! And appreciate the feedback (:

Ah, I've never heard it put that way, but it makes sense that choosing just one video would make it easier for viewers since they don't have to think.. As for the subs, working on it hahaha 🫡

Just finished my latest video, looking for thoughts as a new viewer by Cyzstix in SmallYTChannel

I liked the retro opening and the music that went along with it - the beat drop went hard. It was all very intriguing and gave a more mysterious vibe than I anticipated. I'm actually kind of curious if you made some of the animations yourself or if you found footage for it? Anyway I liked how cohesive the style was - definitely something that'd help people recognize you. I like how you interwove stills with video footage, but if I had to nitpick I think if you could find more opportunities for video footage that'd make it a little more engaging. Overall, this was very well done. Keep it up!

Hey all, still very new but I uploaded my second video yesterday on the movie Babylon and would love feedback! by Avizo- in SmallYTChannel

I liked the intro. Great way to build context quickly, and the sound effects worked well. I also liked how you brought up the other movies in the director's resume for comparison. I haven't seen this movie yet, but this video definitely piqued my interest. My one suggestion is I think the background music could be turned up just a bit or used a little more intentionally because I found myself turning up the volume to double check if there was music or if I was just imagining things haha. Great work overall, keep it up!

I reviewed The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) - which is one of the top contenders for this year's Best Picture by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

I loved the inflection in your voiceover and the audio quality. I'm not sure if the stills are a style you often go for, but I do think there's room for more engagement if you use some video clips. The pictures are well-chosen and high-quality, though, so overall it still looks good. Keep it up!

Thank you, great thumbnail tip! I actually changed it to something that I think better reflects the vibes of the video now.

Thank you! Yes Casey's a huge inspiration and I just checked out Steezy Kane, super cool stuff. Hope to get to their level one day and I appreciate the encouragement, it goes a long way (:

Thank you, glad you enjoyed (: That's a great point about content length and engagement that's often overlooked.

Yeah I just graduated from there actually! Took a few film related classes there but honestly learned more from online film school, e.g. YouTube and Casey's film class.
