How much editing do you like videos to have? Are you here for the random rambles and thoughts or do you like it to get to the point. Whats your #1 piece of gear you can't live without?
Hi ! Thanks for the video ! I usually prefer it straight to the point. I've never done any RU-vid video yet but I do give conferences and lectures. What I do is have my main points like a script. Then I rehearse a couple of time before the lecture, in order to know and master my subject and the transitions I wanna add. Usually it helps me have both of the two worlds : fluidity and pretty straight to the point. Dunno if that can help for YT videos though...
Well... As, online, I only give lectures, I would say my micro. A blue yeti. It helps a lot with the sound for the lectures. :-) I guess a good camera is also a plus, but I would rather have a crappy video with good sound than the opposite. I would loose everyone If I did that
Woohoo! When I saw the title I got super excited. I'm sailing right now... And hardly have internet when I pass next to an island. But I'll watch it as soon as I'm done. Thanks a lot for the video :-) And for the interaction. It's really nice :-)
Thank YOU for the interaction! This was a bit of a rambling video, which allowed me to try different tactics on balancing scripting and just filming! I'm doing a shorter, more to the point version as well 😅 Thank you again! And sailing sounds amazing!
Hey girl! In response to your prompt: I think you did under-edit a little here. I also find myself getting into the pausing and/or rambling mode quite a bit during filming. It is a really difficult balance of leaving some things in to stay real/maintain connection but also keeping it clipped down enough to keep the flow and viewers' attention. It's a process that I can tell you're working hard at and doing lots of experimentation with. You'll keep getting better with time!
Thank you! I agree and I'm glad that you do too because I think I'd rather plan a little more than I did to avoid rambling, mainly so I don't spend forever editing! I agree with the difficulties of what to say and what not to...now I'm looking forward to making a video on how I found that balance eventually! 💕 Thank you for the support!
Hey Claire. I think this one is a little long. I skipped bits...yeah, sorry...the algorithm...I know. You have an honest charm and that brings me back...but err... I vote for some editing, maybe down to 15 mins or so. Just my opinion :)
THANK YOU! This process honestly drove me a little insane 😬 I think I am going to do a bit more planning, not quite as much as I used to, but a little more than for this video! As a viewer, I would've skipped around too so don't be sorry, thank you for watching some and commenting. I think 15 minutes is a good length as well ☺️ Thank you again!
You're fun to look at, so you've got that going for you, but otherwise this was kind of a rambling video. A key lesson I took from Video Production Class back in my day was, "Show. Don't tell." You did a whole lot of talking about equipment you weren't even demonstrating. Tighten that up and I bet you could redo this video into a very compelling ten min video. Just a suggestion. otherwise, keep on keepin' on. Best of luck to you!
I'm blushing, thank you! I agree with you completely on this being a rambling and visually lacking video...I'm redoing this video and would love to know your thoughts on the tighter, to the point version!
