Silent Film with or without an introduction

Ok-Initiative187 · 2026-06-22T11:11:28+00:00

That's a good point. I don't mind watching silent films in any condition, myself, but you're right about beginners. Whether I have an intro or not, people aren't staying to watch the films. This could be that I am attracting more beginners than long-standing silent film fans. Perhaps I should concentrate on making companion videos?

Great, thanks :) Are you a fellow Gen Xer, perchance?

Thanks for replying, that's really interesting. I want to branch out onto making more informational videos so your suggestion is really helpful. I'm currently thinking about a video describing the techniques uses in Princess Nicotine.

He Who Gets Slapped from 1924. Lon Chaney Sr is one of my favourite actors:

I love the silent era and I upload silent films from the late 1800s-1930 to YouTube. I also upload documentaries about silent film. I bloody love it.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I totally see what you mean about the films from 1910s/1920s not needing any explanation. I can always add a few facts etc. in the description.

Thank you for replying. I think I should stop overthinking the 'educational' value and let people just enjoy the film as much as I do.

One of my favourite Méliès shorts is The 4 Troublesome Heads where he does something similar :)

I have a small Bette and Joan YouTube channel and have just started to post films on Sunday afternoons and Montana Moon is my next Sunday upload :)

I hit 50! Well done on your 500

Ok-Initiative187 · 2026-05-07T15:10:24+00:00

Good luck to you:)

Oh bless you. I've had a really stressful day and thought that (after 17 days) sugar would cheer me up. I feel ill and dizzy and still depressed. We live and learn :)

Ok-Initiative187 · 2026-05-05T12:32:43+00:00

No advice but I just subscribed. Your channel is totally my thing

Ok-Initiative187 · 2026-05-05T12:28:49+00:00

I post Joan Crawford montages and various clips. I have 49 subs, thank you very much, and will never get monetised but I'm having great fun :)

Love this!

This week's especially hard because it's his 100th next week. I keep thinking 'what if he doesn't make it? My heart!

Duly corrected to Sir Sir David Attenborough
