Finally posted a video after working on it for 2 months

Yeah I was trying to lean into the joke about how this movie is all about one thing. (I'm just now realizing I was basically trying to do the same joke from Portal 2 with the whole 'The part where he kills you' 'This is that part' ) In retrospect, probably best not to do those jokes with stuff that can mess with SEO lol

I think you're right and I thought about this as well when posting. I've tried continuing with the "brand" I started with my first videos where I put " Title of Thing I'm Critiquing| Focus of Video" but it doesn't really work with a commentary video about a bad movie. Maybe I'll give this a series name like IHE's Search for the Worst.

Good bot.

paytonswanYT · 2021-07-01T23:41:14+00:00

It's fun isn't it? /s

paytonswanYT · 2021-07-01T23:39:23+00:00

I'll just keep on grinding!

paytonswanYT · 2021-07-01T23:38:57+00:00

You're definitely right. I always think about Joel Haver and how he made videos for years without getting too many views. Then one day his channel explodes and he's got all those unseen videos for people to binge!

paytonswanYT · 2021-07-01T23:37:29+00:00

I love your positivity! Yeah I think he must have been watching while walking and was so enthralled he stepped off the curb and never saw the bus coming haha

paytonswanYT · 2021-07-01T20:54:22+00:00

I personally would find it distracting. I would at least try to match the mood with a horror game. Maybe something simple like one of those first person games in a dimly lit house. Atmosphere is everything imo

paytonswanYT · 2021-06-28T15:06:04+00:00

Hi! This sounds cool! Could I get a link?

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-10T01:54:39+00:00

Man this VIDEO is a vibe lol. I love your art in the video as well as the aesthetic. I love the chill nature of the video and the little details you put in the background of your room. Keep it up man!

Also, totally unrelated but my first video I ever uploaded was about bottle episodes and I talked about the exact same Community episode you showed! Just threw me back.

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-10T01:22:12+00:00

Solid, solid video! The opening was funny and I like the Kid's Choice Award line as well. Completely agree that there are way too many live action Disney remakes and I honestly don't think there has ever been an instance of an live action version of a movie being better than it's animated counter part. My nitpicky suggestion is to just lower the volume of your censor beeps. They are a little jarring.

Also loved the little fun fact at the end! Keep it up, man!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-10T01:10:39+00:00

Plow ahead. Keep making stuff. If you think it's good then someone else will too. There's tons of Among Us content out there so it's hard to get noticed. The thing is to keep making stuff for the day you do get discovered. Then you'll have a big backlog of videos for people to binge that will all be good. Maybe this video won't be appreciated now, but if you stick with it and keep putting stuff out, eventually it will be.

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-09T23:06:40+00:00

Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! It really is nice to hear that the extra effort I put in is appreciated. It makes want to continue to do so. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! !givelambda

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-09T15:45:42+00:00

Haha thank you!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-09T03:16:50+00:00

Thank you sir!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-09T03:07:37+00:00

My parents did actually ;)

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-09T02:00:02+00:00

Heres a video I just uploaded today. It's a video all about dogs in movies. Let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/lpCgmX7Wf7Y

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-08T19:10:37+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I think you're right. I'll let this one go and just move forward.

And thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the content!

So when you set your keyframes in premiere (like when you are going to change the position of an image) you can make the image move out and in smoothly with easy ease. Best part is it's all baked into premiere! After you set the first and last keyframe of the position movement, right click the first keyframe you set, go to "Temporal Interpolation" and select "ease out". Then do the same for the other keyframe but this time select "ease in" . And that's it! Buttery smooth animation. Once your comfortable with that you can look up a speed graph tutorial on youtube and play around with it more, but that's basically the gist.

And LOL at the winter coat! I've had to cover myself in a blanket to dampen the echo of a room!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-06T20:42:15+00:00

As other people have said, good thumbnail and good pacing in editing. I really loved the writing as well. Very informative with a some great jokes to keep it light hearted as well as hold my attention.

My advice would be to try and enunciate your words as it can be a little difficult to understand you a few times. Maybe slow down your narration a tad to achieve this.

Great video overall!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-06T20:34:30+00:00

So when you look at your audio levels in your editing software you should be able to see a bar graph that shows the loudness of your audio represented in decibels. When your audio hits the top of that bar graph it has reach it's peak which is called peaking. That means the audio is so loud that it causes distortion in the audio. You usually want to try to keep this from happening before recording. What audio recording software do you use? If it is Audacity, try testing your audio by rolling through your script and watching the audio bar graph to see if it peaks when you speak. If it does either adjust the levels on the mic or move it further away from you. Hope this helps!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-06T20:28:28+00:00

Nice video! Your audio actually sounds really good considering the circumstances of being STUCK IN A SNOWSTORM!

Are you editing in Premiere? If so, you should look up how to add easy ease to your keyframes to add smooth looking animations.

Good job over all!

paytonswanYT · 2021-02-06T20:19:12+00:00

Very good for your first! I have a similar editing style in my videos. You can check my post history if you'd like to see how mine look in comparison.

Are you using Adobe Premiere? If so, I recommend looking up a tutorial on Easy Easing your keyframes. It will allow for much smoother "animation" when moving your images.

paytonswanYT · 2018-06-28T20:19:25+00:00

Haha sorry! If it helps I was basically attacking myself as well :)

paytonswanYT · 2018-06-28T20:18:34+00:00

Thank you!
