Seems like you figured out the lighting issue. Much better.
Still rambling through the topics. About the same quality as an Atlas Shrugs vlog (despite very different content.)
For someone who writes well, it’s difficult to watch you hem and haw through a video. You have passion when you write- show the same passion when you speak or it doesn’t work. Plan it out, practice it, record. If you don’t get it right, record it again.
By the way- Happy Birthday!
(You’re still awfully young!)
Dude, it’s some guy in his bedroom (me), what do you expect – professionalism?
Oliver, it’s constructive criticism. He’s got a point. The venue isn’t the issue, your delivery is. Rehearse.
what do you expect – professionalism?
Well, maybe not network anchor polish, but yeah, if it’s worth doing, do your very best. Don’t worry, it’ll come along. When you’ve done 20 of these, you’ll look back at this one and see big changes.
Rehearse? Dude, if you want scripts and rehearsal you better pay me.
Expect professionalism? It depends. If you’re going to call it “Some Guy in His Bedroom” then no. But if you are going to call it “The Truth” and want it to be taken seriously, then yes.
It should be at least as focussed and planned out at your blog. Otherwise it detracts from, rather than enhances, your other writing here.
Note: Despite the fact that I disagree with you about 95% of the time, I do support what you do here. My critique is sincere.
(TYPO)should have been- …and planned out as your blog.
Dude, if you want scripts and rehearsal you better pay me.
Welcome to the lament of regional theater.
Do your job right and somebody may come along who’s willing to pay you. Or don’t. Up to you. But Marty’s right, it’s harder to take you seriously when you don’t even put forth the effort needed to get a B- on a high school oral report.
I’m not angry or anything, actually more amused. Why?
It should be at least as focussed and planned out at your blog.
You guys think this blog is planned out! LOL
I did more planning on the video blog thing than I’ve ever done for this blog. Which is not to say I did a lot.
“Planned”- meaning you plan what you write- you think, you edit, and you try to make what you write coherant before you publish it.
(I doubt if anyone really plans out an entire blog- except for lonelygirl and other hoax sites. )
No, dude, none of that goes into my blog posts. Honestly. I just write off the top of my head.
People, what you’re seeing is the rehearsal you’re asking for.
When we get to The Truth #10, you’ll see.
By #10 the dog will have taken over the show and do a much better job.

On The Truth #10, CK talks about…

Oliver,
Here’s the deal, get a sponsor. They’ll pay you a lot of money, then you can make this simple video podcast into a “Multi-Media Experience” and everyone will be impressed.
Sadly, then you have to run all your opinions past them. They’ll probably censor a lot of it, but it’s worth it, because then the three or four guys who watch it will be impressed. Which is what really matters.
Oh, and I’m about to turn 40. So cry me a river, Mr. Wow-I’m-going-to-turn-30.

Good stuff, O-dub! Keep it up!
