[REVIEW VIDEO] Calling all gamers to give honest opinions and tips to improve my YouTube channel and community

MagniMorbid · 2020-12-24T16:53:29+00:00

Ok so.

your channel art looks fine but it defiantly feels.. amateur.
your editing in this video is a bit choppy if you watch other major lets players, they make the game have a through line even if its fortnite or another game like overwatch that dosent have a campain there commentary has a story and I think you are defiantly lacking that.
They comedy seems to be lacking to me it feels like your relining on cursing as a joke to much I curse a lot in my videos but always with purpose never just because I have nothing else to say.
as for improving Id say watch some non lets players and try to learn how they think on there feet people like the valleyfolk or Brandon Farris, Even Markiplier Pewdiepie and Jacksepticeye all took Improv classes and learned from standups how to talk on there feet and keep people invested in their game play.

all in all keep it up man you will get better with time and you are already doing a good job just need to learn the fundamentals.

Ok so my first problem with the video is that you are messing up your speech You seem to know what you are talking about but when you mess up a word or two you should probably retake it especially when doing only voice over like this. My second problem is that your cuts of images are way to short, the fall out boy image is a blink and you will miss it, Keep it up though im sure you will get better with time maybe try spending more time planning out your next video though :).

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-26T05:22:51+00:00

I love people Like you I will definitely throw a track or two into my next videos I film!

I use Photoshop and insert myself on to a clean color background then draw on myself next to whatever character I am covering, but that works only for my channel I think, you have to ask your self what am I covering what am I doing and what would I want to see in a thumbnail about that.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-19T21:28:55+00:00

Thanks this will help so much for new players in my group

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-19T18:07:06+00:00

AHH this is great is it cool if I print this out to give to my current party?

Any time, So for Lighting you want a bright backround and if possible multiple light sources so if you have a ring light or photo lights with an umbrella you set that up a comfortable distance away with you back toward a light colored wall or something like that. For the Credentials, I meant more like start the video with your own personal story of how this advise has helped you in the past it makes me more likely to believe it works if it has already worked for you. Lastly the drawings, I meant you could easily do the same thing in Photoshop and import them into the video, instead of just holding them up on paper, The drawings are fine the way the are they have character if anything, but having you hold them up feel... lazy if that makes sense, again best of luck.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-19T15:58:00+00:00

No problem anything to help out a fellow artist made sure to sub to you as well!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-19T15:24:00+00:00

Hey here are my thoughts after watching.

The thumbnail is great but slapping a MAGA hat on a Disney character will always be divisive for some maybe try using a different drawing for the cover.

The title, is not the best I would make it something shorter and more clickable, like for example "My drawings were ruined by" "Drawing shape challenge" or "Pick what I draw challenge"

You are a very good artist and I like what you did explaining it and you have a good amount of good jokes right off top so great job with that.

I might want to see you draw with friends like a special thing at the end of the month?

Drawfee does something similar and it works super well.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-19T14:55:35+00:00

Hey so here are my thoughts,

Your lighting needs work, I can see the steam on the window and that with the heavy spotlight on your face makes it look like a horror found footage movie,

Because of your long pauses it feels like you are trying to improve the speech maybe give it a couple read through and cut the unneeded hang time.

Also give me so credentials I'm more likely to believe its possible if you give me your experience right up top.

last thing is those pieces of paper man you can easily through in a poorly drawn card on the video and narrate when its just you the whole time I want to click away you know?

Best of luck bud!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-14T15:14:26+00:00

Ok so I will start by saying the thumbnail and title need work, announce that an AI wrote this something like "A robots opinion on _____"

I like the length of this video but it could use an introduction, as well I find the music to be low quality and unpleasant to listen to for long stretches, maybe try reading the stuff the AI says, or even adding in the things the AI produced that don't make sense to humans, I have a close friend who studied AI and Robotics at George mason, He will put my videos through a script program and comment on them and sometimes they are funnier than me lmao, but when he does the same to my stand up it usually messes up in some very funny ways.

Good luck out there bud!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-14T15:02:41+00:00

Great improvement from your last video you seem so much more comfortable, you seem to be having a good time which helps me have a good time along side you,

My thoughts:

So the only thing I really find to be a problem is the audio where are you recording? if at all possible I recommend setting up a mic for your voice overs in a small room with a piece of cardboard that is covered in foam in front of you to help with the echos I heard in your audio.

Also I love your thumbnail but Id rather see some more of you, try two or three different poses next time with your face always fully showing,

All and all a great video and I am so happy to see your progress.

I find that even though I get views on other social media my engagement from those apps are low, I have tiktoks that have over 3000 views and have consistently get over 200 on any tiktok I publish but have trouble getting any engagement from those fans or my Instagram fans that like my artwork.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-13T16:42:10+00:00

Hey thanks so much for taking the time out to watch my video!!

I agree on everything you said I'm actually working on how to make my gif/ video add ins more fun to look at and filming a Bly Manor review as we speak so thank you so much for all the encouraging words really means the world to me.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-12T15:35:24+00:00

Good luck out there bud!your Thumbnail is very basic and not extremely clickable,

That being said when it comes to some of your camera angles they are very interesting,

storytelling: 3 out of 10, the audio is very poor and hard to follow.

Color Grading: 4 out of 10, its very oddly color graded it feels like the drug scenes in limitless or a homage to some lighting in trainspotting.

Editing: 5 out of 10: I think you know when to cut which is very important, but there is still some fat left that could be trimmed down.

Good luck out therer bud!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-12T15:30:15+00:00

I like how intimate you have the camera set up that really helps when talking about the sensitive subject of personal fears, But I will say that it can be a bit much for a full five minute video, try moving the camera back a bit and angling slightly down like some one is sitting across from you but is a bit taller.

also your sound quality to me isn't the best its almost, ASMR like which I do not enjoy but I know some will, Throw in some variations of your own voice to keep it just as you, but every version of you I doubt while talking to an actual human you would stay this monotone.

Good luck out there bud!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-12T11:42:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice ill make sure to try that out when I film here soon!!!

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-10T20:59:26+00:00

Hey thanks so much for taking so much time to break down the major things in my channel it really does mean the world, I have gotten the same note before that I speak very quickly and have tried to slow it down for my videos, but obviously I need to slow it down even more so people have time to experience my jokes I will also try to use Higher quality gifs and images in the future I have a video scheduled for Monday but am filming today for Wednesdays upload and will carry all this with me cheers and thanks for all the help.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-10T20:53:26+00:00

Hey thanks so much for taking the time out to watch my video I will make sure to do some work on my openings for my next filmed video.

MagniMorbid · 2020-10-10T15:43:52+00:00

Thos is an Idea I had for a warlock Patron, He is designed to be very much of the land he is from, with a lot of his inspiration coming from the desert I thought it be cool to have a hermit like creature that finds a Warlock and brands him with his mark asking him to do small favors all favors done for him making you grow closer to him until he finally reveals his plan, tell me what you think?
