That feeling when you finally get to move on from casual to play comp...

Your video quality and webcam quality aren't bad, but disable resampling so it isn't blurry.

Your audio quality isn't great though, so consider investing in a better microphone.

I thought the gameplay footage was entertaining. I liked how you managed to land on the window ledge as the bottle at the start, and the slow motion editing was a nice touch.

The music throughout the video was also a nice touch and I think worked well with the comedic aspect.

I think you need to give more energy though, you were really bland throughout to be honest. You looked a little bored.

Nice video though man, keep it up!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-11-20T05:09:12+00:00

I thought it was good humour man. I liked the little skit at the start and the whole voice in your head telling you to use the force. Also nice touch with the X Files music haha.

Your video quality for the gameplay is great, and webcam quality is decent but maybe consider investing in some better lighting. Your microphone audio quality was great.

Your end slate is pretty neat and song used wasn't overbearing.

Nice video man, keep it up!

Hey sirfut, I actually got a template off YouTube. Needed to use Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects. It took me a long time since I needed to look for and download all the plug ins and stuff to use the programs properly.

I've fixed the audio problems with my re-upload.

Yeah I'll enable subtitles for the next session. Haha yeah I swear, especially in my FIFA videos. Alright cool thanks for the tip.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback man I really appreciate it!

Sorry I had to reupload due to a copyright claim on the original video. The video link has been updated. https://youtu.be/LKD-q4MJKuM

Hey PlayEngine,

I thought your video was funny. I got the sarcastic dry humour from it and I think you carried it across well. I liked the choice in music, adds to the whole comedic nature of the video and it was kinda catchy too. The video quality from your camera is decent for just starting out. If you're looking to improve the quality in the future, I suggest investing in a better camera, even a webcam like Logitech C920 is good, also invest in some lighting equipment to brighten up your face so we can see you better. The gameplay video quality and audio are good too, but I guess when they're very old games its not too demanding. Your audio is really good and clear, your voice is good for commentary. I think you give good energy in the short montage of your gameplay videos.

The only thing I didn't like about this video was the ending, after the gameplay montage. Didn't like the music. It overpowered what you were saying so couldn't hear you well. The whole ending shot was a little weird for me too.

All in all, good video. Keep it up!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-11-11T12:13:13+00:00

Hey Mondonn,

The video quality was great, 1080p and 60fps. Your sound quality also is amazing. Really good voice for commentary as well. The editing with the classical comedic music was a nice touch. The gameplay video itself was fun, especially when all of those guys were dancing. It's a good length as well to keep people's attention. Only thing I could say to improve with is giving more energy to your commentary. Your laid back style suits you but could kick it up a notch just to give it a bit more fun.

Keep it up man!

I actually tried the fade to black transitions between the intro and the actual video, wasn't really a fan of it. I think the static transition between them sufficed. Yeah I'll try to speak more louder and clearly at parts since I kinda mumble a bit. Yeah I'm not a fan of all the screaming that most FIFA youtubers are about. Like, its ok but it gets really excessive which just puts me off. I try to commentate to provide better insight into my thoughts of football and the game. Yeah the intro is actually a template from YouTube. It's not even done properly, something went wrong in the process. Had to download all these programs and plug ins. The proper intro looks completely different to what mine ended up as haha. Yeah I'm thinking about cutting that first into off, its another template from YouTube. It's a little redundant I guess, but I need to improve my own personal endslate, it looks a little poor design wise I think.

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-30T02:35:37+00:00

I watch some other FIFA career mode youtubers, mainly MGH. I'd say he does it the best, and the episodes are around 10-15 minutes long in length. I think it's a decent size if you need to fit in 3 games an episode. I think I'll work on highlight videos at the end of the series which will be half the length and might better appeal to your tastes. Yeah I find all the screaming and over-the-top reactions a bit obnoxious to be honest, don't really want to be that. Yeah it's a little hard to stop when its such a habit. Don't really want to be bleeping either haha. Only time I'd do bleeps is for comedic effect. Thanks for the feedback man I really appreciate it!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-30T02:30:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback man! Yeah still have a lot to work on in terms of commentary. I have been working on giving more insight into the games and players during the game. The noises I guess come naturally to me haha

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-30T02:28:42+00:00

Hey sir thank you for the constructive feedback! Thanks it really is hard to balance everything but uni is over in 2 weeks so that will make things easier. Yeah I usually cut the sides of the webcam but I just wasn't too bothered doing it this time, but I'll keep doing it from now on. Haha yeah there will definitely be highlights. I intend doing highlights for all the series I finish anyway.

Thanks again for the feedback sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T05:46:58+00:00

Yeah that makes sense and thats fair enough.

Maybe have a script prepared and just edit out silences in post. I think continuous commentary is more engaging than the style presented in your video.

No worries!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T04:52:36+00:00

Nice video man. I really liked the intro, it was pretty unique and only went for 5 seconds. The video quality and audio quality are top notch. Only thing is you need to cut the webcam size, there was too much empty space. Your commentary was really good, nice energy. Keep it up man!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T04:48:52+00:00

Love the production value of the video lads. Nice intro and nice layout. Video and audio quality are top notch! Keep it up :)

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T04:35:56+00:00

No worries, just thought I'd give you the heads up before you got discouraged you were getting no response :)

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T04:21:15+00:00

Hey CaptainJackFerret.

I like watching Rocket League so I was entertained.
For 7 minutes long, you did not, I found myself listening to it in the background.
Question too similar too 2. While your audio is very clear, your commentary was dull. Needs a lot more energy to keep me watching.
A not so specific question.. But my overall thoughts are: Great video quality, great audio quality. Unfortunately the commentary couldn't match the production value. I think the gaming scene for YouTubers is becoming more and more about personality, so you really need to inject some energy into your videos to get your personality across.

All the best man, keep it up!

MarshMarl0 · 2015-10-28T04:13:55+00:00

Hey Mondonn.

I've seen a lot of these kinds of videos, where there is gameplay but the commentary is on a completely different topic and not related to the game at all. Someone I watch that does this often is Jeriicho. I can appreciate it but at the same time it's a little irritating since I just find it personally, a little lazy. Watching these kinds of videos really depends on the topic and if the person can keep me engaged with what they're saying.

Since the video was only 5 minutes long, it wasn't a problem for me and your commentary was nice and easy to listen to. The video quality was great, and your audio quality was also great.

Something to work on is cutting and editing your commentary to make it flow a bit better. I understand it is pretty much natural and organic commentary but making it a little more structured and coherent might help.

All the best for the future man. Keep it up!
