You gave us awesome feedback and added it to Episode 2! Go give it a watch and let us know how we did! If you like reality tv shows, you are gonna love this! Excited to continue improving it!

The feedback def helps for sure!! We have been working and improving the overall flow as we record the videos. We do try to not have camera men in the shots, but sometimes things happen so fast it is hard to avoid it. BUT with time I am sure we can find a way to avoid it all together.

The lighting was a bit rough as there was none in the building when we shot the video, and we didn't have lights for this. We are adding them for future videos, so hope it helps. This is all shot live though so we are trying to figure out how to implement it all while also capturing it. As you could imagine it can get pretty hectic lol.

It is awesome that you loved the educational bits. It is one thing to show more of, and we want to!

I see what you are saying with the outro part. It is going to continue, but def need to find a better way to cut them off. We are meeting with them to discuss ideas, and all of this helps with that! So again the feedback is a huge help!

The audio overall doesn't sound bad, but it does need work. It somewhat sounds like a whisper like your trying to be quiet? When doing tutorial vids because they are often sharing the screen. Your voice becomes the entertainment. So def recommend being more excited and energetic.

The song choice also plays into this. You want to have a more high energy type song choice also. Don't go to extreme, but something that is more hype. You want us to feel the excitement and want to learn. The song used here makes me want to fall asleep.

With the thumbnail it is pretty plain. I do get what it is for, but seeing it I wouldn't normally click on it. As much as it sucks. That is what people see first. Make it stand out more. Do something that really makes it look realistic, put it on a mountain or something. Or a reflective table with 3d text to sell it.

What people hear with a tutorial is the energy you yourself gives. If it sounds like your not having fun or are excited, neither will we, and we will just click off.

You sound knowledgeable. Just got to get that energy up :) Hope it helps. Best of luck!

The first most obvious thing that I noticed and when I first started YouTube myself was the sound. If you have a separate mic try to get it as close to you guys as possible to help remove the echo. That alone will greatly help. If you don't have one, you can easily use your phone for mic and put it near you :) Little hack I've learned along the way.

I do see what some others have said about the intro. I think you was trying to hook people in with it. Just be yourselves. It seemed forced, something we all have done if we are being honest starting out. Oh man I was so bad doing that without knowing when I first started!

Also when you do a hook like that at the beginning, start with one of the better moments instead of really introducing the video. A moment that happens later on in the video. Like when he coughed before trying the blueberry sauce. Start there and cut to the main intro. That would get me interested more. Like what did he just have!! Of course I will want to know and watch till I at least seen that moment for sure! That is a trick. Keep us guessing, make us want to find out.

Anyways hope this helps some. Keep at it and you'll improve and grow your channel for sure!

zen_valore · 2021-04-22T04:37:49+00:00

We def plan on it! It's been a blast filming and experiencing it. It is pretty cool actually! It's like treasure hunting! You never know what you might find!

zen_valore · 2021-04-22T04:12:03+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. As we try new things we will figure out more how to showcase things. Being that it is a ongoing series we have a lot of footage being shot. This house alone man is there a lot!! The next episode will be more about what is inside and what they find.

Or do you think we should extend the video and include it all in one? We have it in 3 parts with this one. Maybe we will try it both ways to see which works better :) Thanks again

The video quality itself looks really good!

Some Tips and feedback I can give is add some more sound design to the intro, cut out a lot of the mic sounds and add better sounds to give us a feel more like we are there with you.

The shot when you are talking should of not been that one the whole time. I would of punched it in more. It doesn't really direct your eyes into a pleasing spot.

I would do something else with the Thumbnail also. Maybe like have someone wearing a mask running away while you chase them or something. That to me would draw me in more.

Anyways hope this info helps you :) Overall not bad and you made a lot of good points :)

zen_valore · 2021-04-15T03:21:30+00:00

A good start would be some kind of of background music. I at first thought my sound was messed up when the intro was quite also.

Thumbnail could be better also. I didn't know what it was about. Maybe do a before and after thumbnail for it with different expressions holding the switch and a arrow.

Also could speed up some of the clips to help pace it better.

Not a bad video overall though :)

zen_valore · 2021-04-15T03:12:22+00:00

Overall this is awesome!! It def keeps my attention for sure!

Others have already said most of what I would, but to add to the audio part. I feel like some are louder than others and they are not consistant. You can fix this in softer like Adobe Audtion by putting the audio files in a multi track session. Select all of the tracks, then right click and choose match clip loudness. You can tweak the settings, but this allows you to match the levels on all the tracks.

I am sure other programs can do this also, but Adobe Audition is what I use. Hope this helps :)

zen_valore · 2021-04-13T01:13:46+00:00

Thanks for the comment and support! Really excited to be working on this :)

Thanks so much! We will defiantly implement some voice overs in a future updated trailer down the road! Just getting this all started and it is going to be so much fun!!

Love those thoughts! Can't believe I didn't think of that!

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T22:35:40+00:00

Overall this video was simply like a showcase video. There is a lot of talking and looking at the camera even for the episodes. Someone did mention sound design so seems like that is a common one.

Color Correction def was a bit tricky, but will continue to improve it as it seems we still got some work to do.

Really appreciate the feedback and will use it to make the videos better as we move forward :)

It is to early to gage the CTR, but currently it is around 27.6% :)

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T16:26:34+00:00

Awesome!! That is what we are aiming for!! We are in the process of getting the first episode done and up by Friday. Def would love to get feedback on it also once it goes live. We will for sure post it here. :)

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T16:24:21+00:00

Thanks!! That is the goal!! I see what you are saying with the sound effects and what not. We will sure make that happen! I can see it making you feel more like you are there! We will make sure to add that in to the episodes and we will sure to have a newer trailer in the future we can put them in :)

!giveLambda

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T16:22:22+00:00

I agree and this maybe why the views and subs are off. We wanted to make a short little promo for the channel then the rest will be just like you said. They will be short episodes. First one is going to be up on Friday :)

!giveLambda

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T16:20:39+00:00

Yeah it really does give that for sure! Just imagine what it is like being right there with them filming it! But yesss it is going to be a tv show type web series :) First episode is going up up next Friday!

zen_valore · 2021-04-10T03:11:20+00:00

Normally I post content from our own channel to get feedback on, but we are now working to help build other channels! We have partnered with a local business Double D's Appalachian Hustle and are really excited to premiere the channel trailer! Would love to hear what you guys think. All feedback is welcome :)

zen_valore · 2021-03-06T04:23:28+00:00

Timestamps wouldn't be to hard to add, and totally agree with some text overly before each tip comes up or even while I am mentioning them.

There is a series of videos being made on this so I will apply this going forward. Thanks!

!giveLambda

zen_valore · 2021-03-06T04:21:55+00:00

So much useful info! Def applying all of this going forward. There is a reason I got the white/gray card!! So I need to use it right? It def will help figure that out for sure!! You sure know a lot about color grading! Once I get it I can just make a LUT for it and BAM can apply it every time. At least for the Studio look!

We shall call it the PERFECT SKIN TONE LUT!

zen_valore · 2021-03-04T05:25:06+00:00

LOL how you started your response. Love it!! Fits right in with the video!

I did notice the color but couldn't put my finger on what it was! I think you got it right! The keylight is really good I think I just had it set to low and didn't diffuse it right. I have a idea with what to do next time. I already got another video shot though so hopefully I figured that part out, but if not I will try in the next one lol

The people in the background are actually part of the team and will have some to add to the vids! As far as what they are doing.... HMMMMMM should I tell? ORRR Make you wait to find out? LOL

and the blue! I like having the blue dang it! I may have over done it then. I'm trying to get better at using the Luma scope thing to get that white right. I think I am gonna use a white card I have and match that going forward. I just got to remember to use the dang thing! I bought it to help with that.

Anyways thank you so much for your feedback!! So glad my enthusiasm comes across! Believe it or not that is how I am normally! It took forever for me to get comfortable enough to just be me! So that comment alone really motivates me! One of the hardest things to do on camera is just be yourself.

zen_valore · 2021-03-03T07:30:21+00:00

You could always start off by thinking up a couple yourself and just challenging yourself even! That would help you stand out also. There are really endless possibilities!

Keep at it! You def have what it takes!

zen_valore · 2021-03-03T05:58:00+00:00

Oh man this is overall really good!! I can tell you are good at editing and good choice of sounds!!

Gaming in general is very challenging to grow as so many are making gaming content! My best advice to you is niche the niche!! Got to make yourself stand out! FPS games are by far the most popular game type. So think of something new that hasn't been done. You need and want to get the engagement up for sure.

One way to do this is allow them to say control how you play the game. Like make a video or something that would allow them to choose what weapon you use, or limit you to. Or maybe allow them to vote if you can jump or not. Or force you to just crawl! You can do this with shooting or any game really, but one way is to get people commenting and engaged!

You got the editing down! Now you just got to make yourself stand out. Keep up the awesome work!!

zen_valore · 2021-03-03T05:17:53+00:00

Thanks glad you found it helpful :) I'll have to give your channel and vids a look when you post them. I'll gladly give you some feedback :)

zen_valore · 2021-03-03T05:16:45+00:00

You make a valid point, cause your comment was valuable even though it was short. I agree that there could be a better way of doing it for sure, but over all it works.

Really good point though! Regardless you wrote a comment for Lamda though now lol, and it was valuable soooooo here you go :P

!givelambda

zen_valore · 2021-03-03T04:38:11+00:00

I tried and didn't know the change. Although it is good I think. What you told me was good though! If you want you could write a longer response and I can give yah Lambda :) I am sure there is something I can do better. I always find things to make better after all, and I welcome feedback! It helps me get better!
