Shameless self promotion pt 2

Postby greedoniz » Jul 18th, '10, 22:04



Hello,

After much deliberation I decided to re-edit the first video to create a 2nd.

Which is better? Watch both and vote above

Video 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-56Wnrs8jE8



Video 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfJp3ZmtukI


Also any gripes or likes would be handy

i've said it before, and i'll say it again - i prefer your number two...

but change the font...its quite a chunky serif font, and a little bit too fuzzy...go for a cleaner, serif font...much better...

i liked the black and white image on the first vid, the trickman logo with you though...put that back, but in vid 2...

i think, you should also record your own music...the banjolele and a west coast hiphop thing....and have that as your soundtrack instead...

All I got for the first link was that the video was private.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

It's back

I did lock it pretty much because the feedback from friends was all one sided towards video 2

American Lady! I remember her!

I'm definitely in the number 2 camp. I liked the way in which you don't see any effects for a while, just reactions, so you're already wanting to see something within the video itself. Seemed a logical progression to me.

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.

Lock it again!

I'm voting for number 2 (For what my opinion is worth).

I saw the first one when you first showed it, so I'm not sure if I am remembering correctly. I like the second one because you showed a good shot of your face right at the begining, in that way we are able to associate the whole video with an image of you in mind. I don't remember that being on the first vid, it may have been there and I missed it.

Well done.
