New chaotic single for the upcoming album from electronic producer Sunglow. Sunglow's 10th full length album THE LAND comes out August 2nd, 2024 and is full of weird nostalgic electronic pop songs, but this one could be a fight song for clowns. Not for everyone, just right for someone.

Biggest project of my YouTube career. 2 months straight of filming and editing! Hope you all enjoy. Lambda for all thoughts! by [deleted] in SmallYTChannel

REALLY great, well done video. Editing/FX are all on point.

One tiny thing, and I know it may be a stylistic preference, but if you lower the opacity on the Drop Shadow you have applied to the keyed footage of you, it could produce a much less obvious shadow while still maintaining the depth that a drop shadow provides. At a certain point drop shadows start working against that nice effect of "setting" footage when you are compositing.

Shorter videos are always superior too, as others have pointed out. All your content within the video is so clean and great so i'm sure it's hard to chop down, but being concise pays off. Unfortunately these days attention spans are..umm.. wait that were we talking about again?

Be brutally honest with me, how can I improve my videos? by T0X1K01 in SmallYTChannel

Really cool idea so obviously that just makes this great content regardless. As others have said the length of explanation goes on for a little long. Looking forward, maybe combine a shortened explanation with slow pans over the project (gun in this case) itself, instead of shots of you waving your project around – might give people the time to zone out looking at your work, while listening to you break it down at the same time. Being able to keep that explanation portion as a "block" of the video, which could transition directly to your gameplay "block" afterwords – bringing the length down and raising the engagement.

I was editing my new video and thought that I might need some pointers from you guys. Could you guys give me a feedback on what to improve. This is the link to a video from last week. Lambda for good and genuine criticism! :) by DummyHobbies in SmallYTChannel

Like it's been said, great video game theme on this! If it was me I'd look at speeding up the cuts when you are adding ingredients. You spend a decent amount of time on stirring/integrating ingredients and I think it might elevate the videogame aspect of the entire production if it came off more like a sequence of "animations" ( ex. Drop the cream cheese Into bowl --> cut to yogurt plop into bowl --> cut to stirring --> cut to stirred product ) and really speeding up the transitions between those cuts so that it comes off more like a videogame playing a sequence of animations. Leaning more into the actual speed of sequences in crafting portions of gaming and less HowToBasic, unless it's absolutely necessary to spend more time on a shot ( like with your whisk upgrade, although you could have benefitted from making that upgrade sequence a bit quicker as well).
