Re: What Does It Mean To Be British?

[HeatherZ32]

wow your voice is rly boring apart from when you say bye.

[britchick84]

The Holloways did a song called "So This is Great Britain?" which I think sums up the UK quite well. My favourite part of it is the opening-

So this is Great Britain, and welcome aboard. A sinking ship that's full of s**t and someone's nicked the oars.

@britchick84 Hello :) Thanks for leaving a comment, I listened to the song you recommended, good lyrics but a little too "pop" for me.

Hope you enjoyed my video :)

[helllox21194]

You sound Irish or Scottish lol.

And tea. And the Queen. That's what pops into my mind when I think of British people :)

[lukeb3000]

@helllox21194 No one has ever told me I sound Irish or Scottish before! :) Tea and the queen were the first things that popped in to my head too, but I wanted to try to make my video a little more interesting.

You should make a video reply too! ^_^

[felixthelovablechimp]

TEA!!!

u r awsome!

really awsome!

[lukeb3000]

@felixthelovablechimp Thank you very much!I absolutely love tea! I drink way too much!

[TheBritishWatcher]

Hmm interesting songs. The sort of things you describe are sadly what some of us view as the problem with Britain today and upset us about British society.

At the end of the day though it all comes down to personal experience and point of view. We all have different tastes although there are some things that should unite us and we should all take pride in being British. It is still a great country.

[ruthiebabes]

Creative video but not sure I agree with some of your points... thanks for sharing, had fun watching!

[LeleandRara]

Haha nice one ;)

[lukeb3000]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed . . . subscribe if you want to see more awesomeness ^_~

[Barnabas74]

think this is your best video so far, keep it up Luke.

[lukeb3000]

Hey Andy

I think this rates as one of my top videos too :)

Next time I think it would be better to the green screen work in After Effects though, glad to see you are still watching my videos

[itiselizabeth]

Just when I think lipsyncing is nearly gone from my subscriptions you bring it back with aplomb. Britain is the cold, accents and complaining! Oh and queues.

[lukeb3000]

*Massive Grin* I was watching YouTube but didn't have a channel for the first wave of lip-syncing. I know it is considered somewhat dated now, but I would love to bring it back.

I secretly want to make some more lip sync videos :)

[kptonic]

Great song choices! I love that song by the Arctic Monkeys.

[lukeb3000]

Thanks so much.

You obviously have good taste in music! what other bands do you like?

[kptonic]

There are so many bands that I like. A few are The Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, The Guillemots, Silverstein, The Offspring, 3OH!3, and so many others. What bands do you like?

[pixonu]

Good stuff Luke :)

[lukeb3000]

Dave please post a new video soon! <3

[MrDeanmyatt]

i think this is crap. Be british means so much more!

[lukeb3000]

You should make a video reply and post it to this video so I can see what you think it means to be British.

[BarryAldridge]

Cool response mate. Nice one.

[lukeb3000]

Thanks barry and Thank you so much for subscribing <3

[h0pefull]

woah i just love this accent xD If i could just spend one year there ....

[CheekTV]

Loved seeing the green screen at work. When I think of Britain...I think of a cultural mish mash of races, places and sounds. x

[lukeb3000]

@CheekTV

yes I think the green screen really helps communicate the message I am trying to give more than just using words alone. So I hope it provide a little more visual interest for people.

You should make a video reply too Gary, maybe Cheeky should let us know what it is like being a little purple monster looking for sexy times in Great Britian!

[antorobertson]

Nice video, putting green screen to good use :P. But, tell me did you record this with iSight?

[lukeb3000]

Hey Anto, Thank you :)

I used a MiniDV camera, (Canon MD205) also I used an external mic as I know I need to improve my audio vastly, it my next area I intend to improve, if you want to know anything else then please ask / get in touch!

I would be interested to hear if you think this is a somewhat accurate portrayal of modern Britain?

[antorobertson]

@lukeb3000 im not really into what Britain is like bro, just take it all as it comes :).

About your camera. what fan can i hear? had you your Macbook sitting beside the camera? Im near sure id remember that fan sound of a Macbook anywhere.

[lukeb3000]

I think it MUST be the MacBook fan you can hear, I was using an external mic which was no where near the cam or the MacBook so I am not too sure why the fan noise was picked up. Ideally I would like to invest in a tie-pin mic, but I am not sure which ones are compatable with my Mac, also I need to learn how to clean up audio in post production. So yes I am not sure how the fan noise crept in there! But would you say over all the audio sounds clear & acceptable?

[antorobertson]

@lukeb3000 Yea man the audio was fine, i just heard the fan. Do a bita research on tie-pin mics, most are supported these days. But keep rollin out your videos. =)
