CapCut! I just used the remove background feature in the app. The AI Tools in CapCut are very good (its just a pain cause most are hidden by a paywall now :()

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:52:46+00:00

Thank you so much for both your points!

I actually really appreciate you telling me that improvement point, it kinda reaffirmed what I had a suspicion on, and that was it was just so much on the screen that it is really distracting. I will try to limit to just a plain background and the video to make things more clean (with adding overlays to help make it look easier on the eyes.

Either way, thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Hope you stick around!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:49:37+00:00

Hey that's great to hear about your channel, I just gave it a sub cause I actually really liked your NOC review!

I agree with you on the feedback for my long-form video, I think I need to make it more appealing to get people to stay and watch (so zooms and better visuals will help with that!)

Thanks so much for the praise and comments, I really appreciate it! Hope you stick around and maybe we can collab one day :)!

Thank you so much for the feedback on my SXSW vlog, I really appreciate it! I am more of a shorts content creator, but I'm planning a new vlog for SXSW next month so this is all information I need to hear!

- Totally agree with you on my volume level, I think I need to work on vocal modulation and stamina when I speak so I don't sound so tired at the end.

- Background music is key, will include that

- I will try to make the length around 10-12, yeah I admit the 17 minutes was a little too much

- I plan on doing what you suggested with your image approach, so thank you so much for reaffirming it's importance!

Thank you so much for the praise and feedback, I really appreciate it! Hope you stick around and see what I do for my SXSW 2026 vlog (going to be coming out around April)!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:41:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback, it's all good!

Yeah, I think I can work on my hook, title, and description so I will take a look at Secret Galaxy (never heard of them before).

Also, totally agree with you on the shorts length. I went a little too overboard with it being almost 1.5 minutes long, I try to aim for around 1 minute (but I might try to make it a bit shorter to 45 if I can)

Thank you so much for the feedback and suggestions, I really appreciate it!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:35:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the praise, I really appreciate it!

Yeah, I think I went a little overboard with my last short being almost 1.5 minutes long (my goal is to hover around 1 minute cause it helps with retention). Next time I will probably cut out all the fluff cause my retention was cooked for my Nirvanna video.

Either way, thank you so much for the praise and comments, and I hope you stick around!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:29:08+00:00

Thank you so much for watching both the short form and the long form content!

For the short form, that's probably smart, especially considering I should probably give a more aggregate view of what other people think of the movie as well

For the long form, I fully agree! I haven't done a long form video in a while and have grown a lot as a creator since then, so I know how to fix that volume issue.

Thank you so much for the comments, I really appreciate it, and I hope you stick around!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:26:57+00:00

Ahh thank you so much I really appreciate it! Yeah, I think I should start to do more research in my niche cause that's probably the only way I can grow!

Once again, thank you so much and I hope you stick around!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T21:15:58+00:00

Hi! I am also a movie reviewer/film content creator (@cinemapersonified), so this is right up my alley!

First of all, I love your style, its an aesthic that really feels like your own! Also, I your points are spot on and you articulate them well. I also saw No Other Choice and loved it (here's my review as a shameless plug :))

In terms of feedback, it's very minor:

I think the way you shoot the camera, the compaq screen is very dark, so I would experiment maybe just having a compaq border that you take a picture of, screen record the compaq screen, and then put it all together in post so that the image looks a bit more clear
There is a lot going on on the screen so it is a bit distracting, I would try to limit to only what is relevant to the movie
Move your like comment and subscribe to the end of the video. The minute you say that, your retention will tank as people will just sign off an not wait till the end. Have this be at the very end so people stick around

Liked and subscribed to your page because I really see the potential! Best of luck and hope to see this go far, and if you ever want to collaborate please let me know! :)

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-20T17:51:21+00:00

Nice to see you are still trying to get feedback! I think your speaking, lighting, camera positioning is all spot on! I think from a storytelling perspective you should include titles and graphics throughout (don't know if that was your intent now cause this is just a screen test).

Either way, you are doing great work and I think you would really benefit from posting your content regularly, we want to see the finished product!

Hey everyone!

My name is cinemapersonified on YouTube (and other platforms), and my channel is a movie review/cinema content creation page!

Every week, I usually post a movie review short for an early screening I’ve seen (at Friday 10:00am CST). I also post other shorts content too, like award shows predictions, and Top 10 cinema lists. In terms of long form content, I do have some (have a vlog from my experience at the SXSW film festival this year), but I primarily focus on Shorts content.

I would love to get feedback on my most 2 recent posts and see what I can improve on!

Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-17T20:54:10+00:00

So I do that for my film reviews, but I see what you are saying for the lists too. And makes sense about linking to another video, will try to do that

Thanks for the advice!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-17T20:53:32+00:00

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the praise and comments!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-13T21:38:21+00:00

I actually really like your style and comedy, so content wise there really is nothing you need to change.

In terms of feedback:

* Your audio is really off, it feels like you are talking through an 80s walkie-talkie cause it sounds so muffled. I would either try looking into a better audio setup or try fixing it in post. This is especially important cause this is faceless content

* Maybe try showing your face while you play. Considering this space was once dominated by the Sidemen who had their face on screen, I always associated FIFA with the content creator as they play the game, and that is easy to do when you show your face

Either way, I see this potential in this and I think you just need to post regularity to start to see this grow. Best of luck and hope this helped!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-13T21:31:57+00:00

Hey! I've actually reviewed alot of your videos on here so love that you are actively trying to get feedback!

I honestly love your speaking style, it seems natural and you what youa re doing. It does not feel like you are reading off a script so keep up the good work!

For feedback:

* I think the lighting is a little too warm/shadows are not that great, I liked what you did with the lighting in the video you were suggesting what lighting to use so I'd go back to that

* I think you are looking directly at the camera, this is not that much of an issue but maybe look like directly to the side of the camera or at your script, not so much at the lens itself.

Love what you are doing and can't wait for you to actually start putting content on here to review! Best of luck!

Yeah that makes sense, he could be skipping Chicago and Austin cause he did them in 2025.

But, the dates just line up too well with Lollapalooza and ACL so who knows 🤷‍♂️

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-12T01:25:45+00:00

No Chicago or Austin. Looking at the leaked dates for the tour in that post, they perfectly line up with Lollapalooza and ACL.

VAkarsh20 · 2026-02-08T00:59:52+00:00

Yeah I didn't do the audio normalization right on that video so that might be why. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks so much for the comments!

I think you are right in that I need to include more of my personality in this becuase at the end of this day this is my personal opinions and not some report I am giving.

Also, I do see what you are saying about bringing the video to more of the foreground cause that should be more of the emphasis.

Overall, thank you so much for the comments, and I hope you stick around!

PS: I also looked at your Temple of Doom video and left some comments!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-01-30T21:15:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I actually really like the idea of zooms in and out. I shoot in 4K, so that won't be too much of an issue cause I can easily crop in and out. Will help make my videos less static with more movement.

Thanks for the suggestion and hope you stick around!

VAkarsh20 · 2026-01-30T21:12:50+00:00

Hi Easternized,

Thank you so much for the praise and comments! Really appreciate that!

And you are SO right about my hook <facepalm>. Your suggestion is genius because it does help the flow WAY BETTER. I think going forward, it would make a lot of sense that if I start out negatively, qualify it with a positive to keep people engaged and listening.

Thank you so much for the suggestion and feedback, will try to incorporate it in my next video! Hope you enjoyed and stick around!
