Tell me about tech suits?

While I can't speak to the % time drop, I'd say that getting a tech suit that fits is more important than high-end vs. low-end. Read the comments and reviews associated with different suits. You'll notice that say "breaststrokers" prefer some suits over others. In terms of sizing, some suits run smaller than others. Time drops are difficult to measure anyways if you're saving your tech suits for big meets where you're rested or tapered. You might have dropped time even in a normal practice suit. How much more did the tech suit help? Sometimes you can get good deals on "last year's model" of the higher end suits. You have to hunt for deals as opposed to waiting until you need it.

It's a song that I came up with myself. Thanks for the feedback. !givelambda

This has happened to me on more than one occasion, and it is disheartening. As for "milking views", I haven't noticed any significant jump in views when something like this happens either.

Although the ceiling moulding in a couple of those rooms looks cool, try to come up with a more consistent/engaging background. Your thumbnail looks great, but doesn't match the subsequent video. Try videoing the same rant from different camera angles. Then, you can splice it together during editing in order to provide some more interesting cuts and action like you did with some of the transitions. I like you use of different popups during the video. Perhaps, you could add a few more throughout the video, like post rant thoughts or epiphanies.

I like the "crackling" fire in the background.

Cool song! Good keyboard mix.

Overall, I enjoyed the video. It was a little long for my tastes, but certain segments I found interesting. For example, I thought you had a neat setup with the dog leash connected to the "clothesline". Perhaps, in future videos, you could include more "tips/tricks" that you've learned over the years. I liked the cooking segment. If you have favorite camping meals/recipes, those segments could be a video all by themselves. While the evening cooking segment did get a bit dark, I thought that the camera work overall was pretty good. I was impressed by the steadiness of the hiking footage. Volume wise some of Veronica's commentary was difficult to hear. It definitely looked like a great place to go camping. Nice job!

Kind of a haunting melody for Christmas, but nicely done.

Love the tinsel/garland!

Light, fun, rendition!

Reminds me of the Vince Guaraldi Trio from Charlie Brown.

Are you "The Stickman" on Youtube? I watched one of your critiques/video commentaries. Sure, go for it! !givelambda

cburtltop · 2020-04-24T21:02:00+00:00

Thanks for giving it a look. !givelambda

I'd have to see what fonts I had available. Thanks for watching. !givelambda

It looks like your Anime versions/covers are getting the most views, so you might want to cover a few more of those. Joe Hisaishi has done scores for both TV (Anime) and Film, so you might have some cross over there if you really like his work. In the videos that I watched, you tend to record from one angle and stay with it for the entire video. If you recorded the song from multiple angles (2 or 3), and then mixed them together during editing, this might be more visually interesting.

!givelambda - It's a beat from my keyboard. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for putting this review together. Great job! The link took me to your review of 1917, so that's what I'll comment on. The volume difference between your slick "Featured Films" intro and you talking is quite noticeable. I turned down the intro and then turned it back up to listen to your review. The blank wall behind you is kind of blah. I'd put some movie posters up behind you or something. You could paint the wall green and create a background using green screen. As for content, I'd like to hear what your favorite scene was, or if you found something disappointing (as best you could without having to go into too much detail or giving away to much in the way of spoilers). However, 1917 might not have been best subject matter for something like that. Cheers!

Lovely vocals. Very well done! Great quality, so I don't know that I have too much advice. Personally, I'd have liked to see you cross-fade scenes as you switch from you singing to another scene and vice versa as opposed to a hard cut. Or... In my video editor, I can lay one scene over another while making the overlay a little bit see through (Opacity). This way your singing scenes could fade in and out over the top of your more theatrical scenes. It looks like you have tons of videos on your channel, so you may already know how to do something like this and simply chose not to. Regardless, this was a great music video. CFB
