 All right, numbers are going up. Now we just sit here and twiddle our thumbs until we see that it begins. Cool. Oh, Jess got me. Don't snow docks. Yeah. I don't think we need to critique your videos, Jessica. We are about to go live. Just be critiquing ours, how about that? All right, cool, we're live. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the live stream. Today we have Jordan with us. He's going to be helping review everybody's channels and everybody. Basically, what this is, we're going to be checking out your videos that you submit in the chat. You can't submit links because links are blocked. So you have to give us the title, the video you want us to check out, and then we'll review it, let you know what we think, and then move on to the next person. While we wait for comments to go in, I'll let you introduce yourself, Jordan. Hi, my name is Mr. George Wilde. I'm a guy who likes to upload on his own channel and he likes to make fun of himself and do silly things for himself on YouTube. And you may recognize I'm getting in a balloon. Yes, I may have climbed into a six foot climbing balloon and filled it with water. OK, so we have just a Zab, a Zab. I'm probably going to say that wrong, I'm sorry, but he is the first person here in the chat. He was letting us know that he wants us to check out his video. So we'll go ahead and check out his Call of Duty Ghost Hilarious Moments with a Zab, a Zab. How would you say it? A Zab. OK, we'll just say it like that. I'm from the Southwest of England, so it's a Zab. We'll just let you pronounce all the names. He said the Call of Duty Ghost Hilarious Moments with a Zab. I can't find it. And there it is. OK. You find it? No, I'm just trying to find the channel. I'll just shoot it to you. Yeah, do that. Yeah, just do that. There you go. All right. All right, we're watching it now. There you go. All right, this is always the first topic of discussion. What's your thoughts on the dubstep intros? All right, I guess we're playing Call of Duty Ghost. Copyright is definitely an issue on that one. You would know that I absolutely hate games. The problem I... The things I always have problems with game videos is when the... When you start off, it's all very quiet, there's a wall like relax, and suddenly the intro comes in. It's like, buh! It's a punch in the face. And then goes back down to very quiet again. Oh, shoot. He got Snoop Dogg, yes, appearing in it. Oh, there he is, yep. Yeah, although that's funny, you need to watch out for copyright because that is, especially with freedom currently cracking down on the copyright partners that are infringing on that, you can get your channel deleted if you are abusing the YouTube's terms of service. Now, some would say that that's under fair use because it's only like 10 seconds, but still you want to be careful and not abuse that privilege because I just prefer to not do it at all that way you don't have any issue. So, yeah. But at the same time, it is very good to be using current pop culture references. Yeah, for sure. Because that usually boosts a lot of... I can usually get... I can boost it up a bit, but like Mike said, at the same time, watch out for copyright and whatnot. Yeah, it's like fair use is always really tricky. You know, you're on the borderline of getting kicked off that fence. It's like, you know, you're walking on a tightrope and you need to be careful. So, as for the energy that we're watching, like I think you have like a good persona with your channel. Oh yeah, definitely. Am I hearing more than one person or is it just him? Um, I think it is just him. Okay, that's the one downside. I have to keep it a little bit lower. But yeah, I like the fact that you're cutting the skim forward. It's not like, you know, you're just dragging out the game and keeping all the dull moments. You're just showing the stuff that matters, which is good because if you keep someone's attention throughout the whole thing, you're doing it right. So... Definitely. Now, there is a bit of clipping with your microphone. Um... What would you say? Because since you kind of specialize in audio equipment and music stuff, Jordan, like, should you find like a different position for it? Or what would be... It completely depends what he's using. So I don't know if he's using a headset or if he's using a standalone microphone. If he's using a headset, then you can... It's a bit of a difficult one because it's the position of the microphone. If it's a standalone microphone, then you've got your volume control and gain, which is something that you can use to stop clipping and not, you know, feature that on the volume. Yeah, a nice rule of thumb is to record lower instead of louder because you can always turn up later, but you can't turn it down. Like, if it's clipping, you can't really fix that. You can try to clean up, but you're very limited to what you can and can't do. But if it's quiet, you can still boost it and make it a little bit louder. So, um... I don't know, record it like a lower percentage if it is a headset. But, uh... Yeah, just try and find a way to make that so it's not so scratchy because if you are going to put that energy and that gump into your commentary, you want to make sure that you're not scratching the whole time. Oh, he's using a snowball. So, it's very similar to the one I'm using. So, as you can hear with my microphone, I have the volume and the gain set to a certain percentage. So, I'm not like... Right up close. Because if I was, then you would have that problem. Yeah. So... Figure out the gain and the volume, and then... If you do that, there should be no clipping or like low... Pfft... ...sounds. So, you should be fine. Yeah, if you want something, you can yell into and get up close. You want a different microphone, like an XLR, one like this. Yes, yes. There's different mics for different situations, and you kind of have to find what's best for your style and your persona. So, other than that, I think you have a good energy. You just need to try and find that... that sweet spot. Oh yeah, definitely. I'm so happy that you're not one of those gamers who just goes, Hi guys, I'm just here playing... You're actually engaging and going, Ah, I'm screaming and... Oh yeah. That's the type of stuff I like to watch personally as far as gaming videos go. Definitely. Now, this outro slate... I'm not too sure why this is integrated with your channel. It looks cool, but there's no really call to action there. Your name's not even on it. I don't know if K391 has something to do with you or not, but keep in mind I'm a new viewer here, and chances are you're going to have other new viewers on your channel that's going to wonder the same thing. So, maybe put like a box on the left, a box on the right for your last video, a next video, or last video, and a random video, or whatever, and then maybe change K39 to just asob. And that way you can promote your stuff. Because it does look cool. It looks snazzy. It's just it doesn't really do anything for the overall branding. What you've done with the annotations there, you could do for last video and next video. Uh-huh. I believe that's throughout the whole thing, though. Well, you can play some, can you? In certain parts? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, instead of having those throughout the whole video. I don't know. I sometimes like to have them throughout the whole video, too, on top of that. Like, for ours, I have a next video and then a subscribe video always on the top. But I do like to incorporate the outro slate, because that's when you're most likely to click. So. Yeah, definitely. But yeah, cool. I like your energy. I think you're doing well as far as your personality. Again, just try and figure out your microphone placement. And then your intro and outro branding. Remember, dubstep intros are just, they were like 10 years ago. Like, you know. In my opinion, I'd say this, every single livestream, the only reason you should have a dubstep intro is if you create dubstep music and you're advertising your dubstep music, because the intro should introduce you to what you're about to see. So. Yeah. Yes. All right. So let's go ahead and pick a new one. I'll let you pick it this time. Guys, remember to post your video title in the chat there for us to check out. And then we will find it. You can't post links. So. Once you find one, let me know you. We have a wild Luke who is saying CS. Go. I'm assuming this is a video strapped roulette on matchmaking. I'm reading a screen, screen siege films, death to sink intros. Oh, yes. And CJ says hello to everybody. Hello. All right. Will you throw that to me and chat for me? I will try and find it. Okay. I've lost it now. Nope, there it is. See you. What? We're waiting. I know, I know. Such a slacker. So guys, how's it going? Everyone enjoying this beautiful Monday? Do you send it? Maybe. Yeah. Is it? Maybe. Is it Hassan Games, the channel? I don't know. Where did you see it? Are you at the bottom of the chatter at the top? I'm near the middle because not many people posted. It's a wild Luke. Okay. Okay, I see it. Okay. What was the video title? Strat roulette on matchmaking. Or CS go. Oh, we got a little bit of echo. Strat? Okay. Strat roulette. All right. You haven't pulled up? Send me the link. So we'll be here forever. You're the one that found it. How'd you? I didn't find it. How do you not have a link if you can't find it? All right. First of all, it is 45 minutes. So I'm wondering if this was from a live stream or not. Well, it says I'm live on Twitch. So I'm assuming this is the most. Yeah, that's what I was wondering. So with that, guys, remember that watch time is everything in YouTube SEO right now. When you initially put on your tags and your description and titles and everything, that's only gonna weigh it initially. After that, watch time comes into place and the more that your video is watched, the higher it's gonna rank in the search results. So if I only watch like, you know, five to 10 minutes, like we're probably gonna do right now, chances are I'm not gonna sit here and watch the whole 45 minute video during this live stream, that's gonna hurt your overall watch time and it can hurt your ranking. So you wanna kind of keep that sweet spot of how long you think your viewers will stay. If you think they will stay for the whole 45 minutes, then sure go for it, but chances are people normally stay about 10 to 15 for gaming videos. Once again, we have the clipping microphone as well. So like we said in the last one, microphone positioning and depending, of course depending on what you're using, if using a head mic like this or a standalone microphone, just find that sweet spot and you'll be able to go from there. Cause it is incredible how many people don't watch a video because it's clipping and that's the only reason. Yeah, it's easy to watch a low quality video with good audio, but it's hard to watch a good quality video with bad audio because audio unfortunately is one of the biggest parts of making a good video and it's again, one of the hardest things to learn. So you'll think I'm crazy before I record gameplay videos because I'm in here, I talk really quiet and then I yell really loud and then I do everything that I normally would do in like whatever situation I would be gaming and then I'll play it back to listen, see if I'm, you know, see if it clipped or see if I need to change the settings. I'm just in here yelling to myself in the room on all different positions, like different volumes. People are like, what the heck is he doing? My neighbors are ringing the doorbell. You okay? Speaking of other volumes, you've obviously got other people playing in this game. From what I'm hearing, it is so muddled. I'm struggling to hear who is who and but that's another thing. That's another thing about audio levels as well. If it's on, if you're doing over Skype, a bit more difficult. First and foremost, don't ever do it over Skype. Skype is just awful. The only reason I'm on it is because I need this dude's face. I use like team speakers or something because then you can control people's voices. You can boost the levels if they're too quiet. If they're clipping and scratchy then you could turn them down. Heck, you can even mute them if you want. And then you can do push to talk as well so you don't have to have like background interference if you have like 10 refrigerators going at the same time. Think about that over Skype. But yeah, again, when it comes to friends and stuff, that's another really hard thing because if your friend John Smith has a crappy mic then that completely hinders your whole entire video. Yeah, definitely. The amount of times that I've actually gamed with Mike in the past few years and I've always just had a webcam microphone and I sound absolutely terrible. And let's be honest, how many of them did I post? Not many. Yeah, I'm like, okay, it was a lot of fun. It turned out good, but you know what? I don't want to post it. Nothing against you, but yeah. This one's live, you have no choice. Yeah, I know. Well, this time you upgraded. Oh yes. Okay, so if you go to the outro. Okay. You'll probably find out like 45 minutes. Yeah, yeah. If you go to the outro, the audio levels are completely, because the entire thing was quiet compared to the outro and then the outro is just screaming. So you're telling me to turn it down before I get there. Oh wow, that is a huge difference. Yeah, definitely. I haven't turned on like 10% and I can hear it clearly. But at the same time, the audio levels are a bit all over the place, but at the same time your end screen is simple. Yeah, I do actually like the outro slate. As far as the music levels and stuff, that's a whole different story, but that is really clean and pretty. And not only that, but the thumbnail is cool. Yeah, check out this video, subscribe for more. Check out my Twitch and Twitter. I mean, you don't really need anything else. Yeah, definitely. I don't know, when you're doing your editing, take a look at the waveforms, see if everything is matching. And another good rule of thumb is before you post, like turn up your volume all the way and then go watch someone who's doing it on YouTube and doing it successfully and see how your audio relates to theirs. If yours is about the same, then you know you're at a good level. If it's too quiet, then you know you should boost it and if it's too loud, you know you should turn it down. So, because if people are doing it well on YouTube and having like, you know, doing it at full time, this is their job. Chances are they know how to get their audio levels down. So, that's kind of what I do if I'm unsure about the audio levels as a whole. And also, you can look at waveforms and just kind of make sure that they look even throughout the whole entire thing. And if they look even, then you'll be doing all right. Stars on Edge says, hey, Mike, I'm here too. Hello. All right, so let's- Sarakotako says, hey, hello, how are you? Tacos. All right, so that's the one thing we don't have in England, sad times. So guys, let's go ahead and post a new video in the chat. Again, you can't post links. Give me the title that you want and we will search it and find it and check it out. And then we will go from there. OR. So, the only one I'm seeing at the moment is from Amrit. Yes. And his video, Minecraft Sky Wars. Stars on Edge, my name is Mr. George Wilde. Hi, should have made that obvious. Nah. Nah. Okay, first and foremost, I sent you the link there, but I'm gonna go to the channel itself because when I saw you posting in the chat, I was reluctant to click it because I didn't know you were a creator. You don't have an avatar. It's just a blank thing which often refers to just someone that likes to comment. A lot of the people who have comment on our videos often have avatars, but then occasionally of the people who are just too lazy to set up their account. So they just leave it blank like this. So it doesn't look like you're a creator. Now, it does look like you're brand new, obviously, because you only have one video, but that doesn't mean that you can't get started before you launch. Secondly, your channel is set up to feed instead of browse. So when I go here, it only shows the people you're subscribed to. It doesn't show your video unless I scroll all the way down to the bottom, which I typically just get a first impression of then hop off or look for more. So I had to go to videos to actually see your video. If you want to change that, all you do is go to your channel and then click edit navigation. You can change the layout. So that being said, let's check out your video. First thing, is there sound for you on this video? Yes, actually, it's very quiet though. I'm at a hundred percent. And I cannot hear anything like this. It's really, really quiet. I cannot hear anything. So that's obviously a... But Jordan, a good story doesn't need audio. You should be able to mute it and understand what's going on. Yes, if you're telling a story. This is a story of Minecraft. The story of Minecraft, come on now. The story of Minecraft, yes. But what I will say though, it does look really good quality. Yeah, so yeah. Especially for only being uploaded at 720p. Like it looks good quality and it looks nice and crisp. However, the audio is very, very, very, very, very, very quiet and actually impossible for me to hear with my headphones on right now. It's not just I have to crank it up. It's that I physically can't hear it when I turn up all the way. I can tell that you're saying something though. It's just, it's very, very, very muddled. It's like a mouse in the corner of your room trying to talk. But other than that, I mean, it's good quality. It looks good. Now, like we said earlier, the hardest part to learn is audio. So do a few tests before you start recording. Like I said, shout into your mic, do a few things or at least get your game audio recordings. That way you have something to listen to because a lot of people do it without commentary. They just show there, you know, what they're playing. He has posted in the comments saying, sorry for bad mic quality, I'll improve it next time. So he's already realized that he's... Yeah, I wouldn't say it's bad quality. It just sounds like... Oh, no. We can't tell if it's bad quality or not. It just seems like you recorded it incorrectly. So whether your quality is good or bad is a different story. So, yeah. Yeah, we're very limited to what we can and can't say with this. But considering this is your first video ever, I mean, I guess we can't give you too much flack for it. But also keep in mind, if you do see that there's something wrong with your video, you don't have to post it. You know, you don't have to feel obligated to post something just because you took the time to record it. Like that took you 25 minutes to play and there really wasn't much editing involved with it either. So, you know, you can easily spend another 20 minutes playing Minecraft again. I'm sure you wouldn't mind. Everyone's okay with spending a little bit more time playing games. So, yeah. Like we were talking about earlier, the games Jordan and I did that I didn't post because the audio quality was bad at times. Like, and the sad thing is that when I look back on that stuff, my audio wasn't much better. But yeah. All right. So, let's go ahead and get a new video to watch. Other closing thoughts, intro and outro. You don't necessarily need an intro, but it looks like you guys did one where you all sat there and talked. But outro is slight to redirect your viewers. That'd be nice. Yeah. All right. So, I've done Pro Legend Gamer. Okay. I want video. He hasn't told us a video. He just said, can you check out my channel? Well, then I'll let you pick the video. How about that? I shall do that. Let's see. Remember, guys, let us know the video you want us to check out because I've had a lot of times where we click on a random thing and people are like, oh, I didn't want you to watch that one. Why'd you watch that one? It's like, well, you didn't let me know. Make sure you let us know the one you want us to critique because your quality might have changed over time. You might have posted up something random, like you eating a shoe. There's different things, so. Let's watch his 100th video, Best Moments, so that can give us a bit of a... Oh, P-Dope. I'll send you the link now. I found it. Found it. I'm not no Jordan. Root. So, oh no. I was at a conflict, your intro, and then you went to the glitchy type one. So this first opening one is pretty. Although it's a template on After Effects and you can clearly tell except seeing those all over the place. I prefer clean, nice stuff like that instead of these ones. That being said, I don't think there's a reason for both of them. But, yeah. So I'm assuming that this is gonna be a montage of your best stuff that you've... Yeah, yeah. I'm saying all you've done, like stunts in Minecraft or whatnot. So this little effect that you did here where you have this glowing and then it goes into the game. I don't know if that's on purpose or if it was on accident, but if it was on purpose, have it gradually fade out instead of just cutting because it just shuts off really quickly. But if you have it gradually fade in, then it will be a nice, easier transition that isn't as strong hitting. Also, the music being used, I'm not sure if it's copyright free or not, but you are... That's another thing. This is just a song playing all through this content being done. And I... I did hear him talking, though. Yeah. Not very well, but there is voice there. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it actually turns down after about 50 seconds into it. Yeah, then he turns back up again. He's on a different game now. I'm ahead of you. Oh, okay. Oh yeah, it does. It cuts back up. So the audio fluctuating, I think would work if you're using that to fill dull moments. For instance, if you're not talking during this time, you could fade it back in. Now we do that in our vlogs and stuff. But then there's also another option where you could just chop out those moments. So if you aren't talking, you're not commentating over it, is that really needed? Does that help tell the story and bring the viewer from one spot to the next? If it doesn't do that, it might necessarily not be needed. So you can maybe chop that out instead of doing the audio fluctuating. Now on another note, when the audio is turned down and you're talking over it, it's still a little bit loud. Maybe try turning it down even more. It's like, I like what you're doing here because that's actually what I do with the vlogs. I do that same type of editing with the music. But I think you need to try and find a sweet spot so you can hear it. My issue whenever I do this type of stuff is I know what I said, but the viewers don't. So it's kind of more easy for me to make out what I'm saying whereas other people watching it, they might not necessarily hear it as clearly because they're hearing it for the first time. So, yeah. Yeah. So as far as cross quality life on this. Yeah, I definitely like the effort of everything. It's just the audio, although there's a lot of work put into the levels and changing it out, it kind of kills it because I can't hear what you're saying very clearly. I also have it turned down low because of the stream, but I should still be able to at least hear what you're saying, so. Oh, new game, new game. Another thing I probably say is I'm five minutes in now and I think it's a bit too long, if that makes sense. I'm getting a bit bored because it's the same editing and stuff. With a montage, personally, I like seeing them just like chop, chop, chop, chop, really quick. You take this funny moment that happened, this best moment that happened, you chop the next one and you just make it really fast-paced. You can keep it 10 minutes if you want, but you just need to pace it quicker. You can't rely solely on the music to pace. I agree. Yeah. Sorry, I just had to just pay for a second there. Oh, okay. I'm back, don't worry. The effort on everything was there and I can tell what you were going for. It's just, you need to rely a little bit more on your editing set instead of on solely audio. Yeah, I definitely agree on that one. Also, I did notice that as the video goes on, your overall quality gets better. Like at the beginning, although it was still 1080p, it was like a little bit blurry at times. Like your frame rate was off or something. So you could definitely tell you got better quality over time and you are learning and getting better in different areas. So props to you on that. Oh. Just checking the comments. Is it possible that we could have some non gaming channels so we can check out? It's possible, but... It's possible. We need to get someone to submit it. So guys, do you have any non gaming channels in there? Do you have any filmmakers, any vloggers, any beauty gurus? You know, we're all about our makeup over here. Oh, yes. Sushi and Rhett says, oh, he's sasty. Oh, he's sasty. That's a pets channel. We can go there. But yeah, guys, leave a video title that you'd like us to check out down in the chat here for us to check out. And if you do have something that's not game related, we will put that on top priority. So let me know if you see anything. Mr. Boo PVB has left a few comments saying about accepting the partnership with me and tell what I need to improve. Is that partnership with Freedom? I assume so. If so, if that's the case, I'll leave it with the mic on that one. That's another gaming channel though. So we can go back to gaming after we get to another, just see if we have any variety in there. If we do, that is. Yeah. Have you seen anything? Not yet. I'm still kind of scanning the Pro Legend Gamer. Oh no, I have this issue all the time. So at the end of your video on Pro Legend Gamer, it cuts to black and it stays black for like a minute and a half. That's like, you might have had like one little bit of audio down the very end. No, I can, I'm doing a live stream with it. Oh, you're on the live stream? Yeah. Mom! What if we need them right then? Yes. Mom! Mom! Mom! At the end, there's like a whole minute of black and I do that all the time with my vlogs and stuff because you might leave like a little snippet of audio at the end or a random clip or something that will keep on going. So just watch your projects when you're exporting and also I believe YouTube has their own editor where you can shop that out and republish it without that little bit at the end. So. That has just climbed into a box. All right, so I haven't been scanning the chat. Have you seen anything? Oh, I see one. Mine is not gaming. If you're lying to me. All right, we're pulling you up. Who was that? There you go. Molexer? Oh my goodness. I'll let you say that first one. I could say Joshua. I got that part down on lock, but. Molexler. Molexler? Okay. Molexler. It looks a lot like Joshua. Sounds better when you say it. All right. And I'll let you pick which video since I picked the person. Let's have a look. So this is a football as in English football? Hopefully soccer football. If it's a way, if it's English football, you can just take a five minute break. Then Mike and we. All right. Oh, it is. Okay, well do weekly football predictions. Number one. Number one. Because I actually like the look at this. Oh wow, that's a cool layout. Yeah. Oh sweet. Already. That's awesome. The fact that you have. I've never seen it done this way before. Yeah, yeah, that's really cool. Now, me being a picky filmmaker, all this headroom. Oh yes. I really love what you guys are doing here with like the two different setups. Also props to you for your age. I wish I knew how to do this at your age. At your age, I was recording straight to a VHS camera and playing it in my VHS player and doing little edits on my camera. So yeah, this is really cool. Good job. But yeah, trying to frame it up like here. So you're cutting off the top of your head right where the top of the frame is. That way you don't have all this wasted space because right now you're only taking up the smallest part of the frame here and my eyes are drawn to what else is going on here in the frame and same goes with your friend here. So frame it up a little bit tighter and then that will help draw the viewer's eyes. These kids know more about football than I ever will. I'm looking at a 2-1 win for Southampton. That's actually the team that Jacko gave. I played soccer for like 90% of my school careers up until like, I think I did it until my final year of high school and I blew out my back. And yeah, they definitely know more than me too. But yeah, I really like this layout. This is cool. It's very unique too. I think what you need to think about is how long you were talking about what you were doing before you started the actual video because it was about one minute 30 into the video until you suddenly went, right, let's get started. So maybe, because obviously YouTube viewing time, because it's a six minute video, most of people watching videos would probably click off around this point usually. But yeah, I'm not too sure what the audience is on this type of stuff. Yeah. Well, it's kind of like, pretty much what we're watching here is kids predicting what the games are gonna do. So the audience here will probably be amazingly, probably bookers. So people who watch these videos and then make a bet on the English websites, William Bet and all that lot. Yeah. I'm just impressed, you guys can sync up four videos on one video and have them perfectly synced. Like, not only is that tough to do, but that takes some processing power, that takes some time and dedication. Like, I've done that occasionally here and there, but a lot of people just the idea of trying to sync up more than one thing at a time, they're like, nah, we'll just not do that. So props to you on that. The ending here where it cuts off, you have like where you stop your camera and then he stops his camera, then he stops his recording. That shows that you did all the syncing, but maybe just when you say buy, chop it there. You don't need to have the rest of that of all the screen shutting off. Try and like tighten up your edits a little bit more because you did do all the hard work there. Now you just need to clean it up. Like what Jordan was saying, to snap your intro. And then yeah, I think if you applied all those different things, that'd be a cool little thing. But yeah, I'm impressed. So if you guys can tell me who you think's gonna, if you guys do Rugby by any chance, if you could tell me who's gonna win the Rugby World Cup, that'd be great. Where should we place our bets? Yeah, let me just place my bets on that one. Yeah, cool. So that's cool. Do they have an outro? No, that's what I was just talking about. Also, the kid on the left, I can see a very sneaky little Skype icon there. Oh yeah. Which is in the grand scheme of things, is not the worst of things, but maybe if your friend doesn't want to have his Skype name out like that, then that's always something to think about because then you would have people adding you who weird or something maybe. It's just a little thing like that. But in the grand scheme of things, not too bad. But I like that, that was very interesting. That was a good video, I enjoyed that. It was something different, something new, and I've never seen it being done that way. Oh yeah, for sure. Which is really cool. I don't think I've ever seen somebody do predictions. Yeah, I have any predictions. That's cool. Like that, keep doing that because I bet you there's an audience for that somewhere and it'll get big. I'm just, I realize that it looks like I'm paying no attention to you guys, but I have my monitor with the chat over here so it looks like, I'm having to look way off screen to read the comments. It's like, elite, elite life says, hey Mike, hello. The text is like this small and like the farthest part of the screen so I'm having trouble reading everything. I apologize. I only have one screen so I'm stroking so bad with doing that. Oh, such a slacker. All right, so let's go ahead and have you guys post your video titles in the chat for us to check out and then we will get on to the next one. And if you see any Jordan that you wanna do, let me know. Let's have a look. It is very obvious that gaming is the full day of YouTube, isn't it? Oh yeah, especially this network. Oh yes, definitely. Anything? Help me Jordan, this is what you're here for. I know. Oh, the chat's getting a bit fast now, good grief. Sly Music says, you guys have reviewed my channel before but could you, oh God, could you guys please take a look at my bully school short film? Okay. So Sly Music, S-L-Y-M-U-S-I-C. I got it, bully. I guess it's this one, or it is life. Yeah. All right, boop. Cheers, mate. Oh crap, one second. I'm liking this. All right. Somebody knows how to do color correction. You know what, I actually had a camera once so you can just select what color you wanted. Really? And it will do black and white plus that color but it does take a little bit of effort to do this in editing, so props to you. Now, there is copyrighted music in it. The Dare to Dream by Utopian Sounds. Watch out for that because as we stated earlier, Freedom is currently deleting partners that have copyright infringement and broke YouTube's terms of service. So if you do have the rights to that, that's one thing but you might want to state that in your description that you have the rights to use it. Because that could be troublesome at times. One of the things I've picked up on it is audio levels of the music. When he gets pushed, it gets very loud. And then when he's drawing again, it goes very quiet. Yeah, they're trying to make that, I guess, more like an impactful moment but you can do that with like sound effects or something instead of, you know, just trying to make the music do everything. Yeah, as far as the camera work, it's a bit shaky. It's in very obvious that somebody's holding the camera and just filming over the shoulder of the actor. There's many ways to fix this, that obviously with a tripod. Or if you really have the money, you can have a dolly which is something you put the camera on and you can move up and down. Oh yeah, there's also, there's also ways to. Yeah, there's also ways in software that you can stabilize the camera. Yeah, like, but you know, if you guys have the money, then you can get stabilizers and stuff like that. But easy ways to do it, you can simply get a tripod, kick the legs back, put it on your shoulder and then it'll work as a little steady cam. If you have a GoPro, you can use something like this or you have a little stabilizer and it studies your shots wherever you go. This is kind of a little fun little toy to play with. And they have actual DSLR versions of that or camera rigs or shoulder cams or whatever. I'd go back into my equipment box over there but I don't feel like getting up. So, you'll just have to take my word for it. But yeah, a lot of opportunities and a lot of different chances to get that. And if you do have a DSLR and you don't have any of that stuff on you, you can even use the neck strap. Put it around your neck, pull it out, tot. And then it will help reduce some of this shake because as long as your hands are next to the sensor and you're shaking it, it's gonna really pick that up. So, but also, I feel it kind of cuts off too fast. That would be a perfect opportunity to tell you who was in the video and like saying thank you to all these people because these people are in the video. So, I was just, your face disappeared. Oh, no. Yeah, I was supposed to be in a meeting right now and I popped in the chat to say, hold on, give me one minute and... Yeah, I changed off your face. Remember I told you I'd do that and I'd screw you over? Yeah. Okay, sorry, continue. My bad. So, what was I saying? At the end of the video, or maybe especially at the beginning where the title of the video, it was so quick. It was not even a second though, it wasn't even a second thing. I had to really quickly read what it said. Maybe stretch that out a bit so I can actually read what that title said and then at the end or during the first few scenes of the beginning saying who's in the video and like who the actors are so we can, you know, just so we can see who was in the video and say, well done. But at the same time, that video, considering your age, is very good. Yeah. I got the message of what the film's about straight away and it's brilliant. Yeah, definitely good execution, everything throughout it. I think you did a good job. It's just like all of us lack of equipment. It's like, you know, once you get better equipment, you can start producing better stuff but the hard part is taking what you have and learning how to use it to the best of its abilities. So you can't blame everything on what equipment you have. You have to find out how to work with what you do have. So, yeah, you're on the right path. It's just a freestyle game that says, fix Cam, we can see his scope in the Cam. Yep, yep, I learned. That's all good. I don't mind people seeing my Skype, because you know, whatever. It's not yours. It was a group chat. It's for the meeting I was supposed to be in. I done did screwed up. All right, so we probably have time for one to two more, depending on how quick we are. Oh, make them good. Make them lovely. Sure. I've got one. You've got one. Yep. This guy says, watch his latest video. Blue Snowball Ice Revue. Oh, there you go. This would be cool because a lot of the stream we've been talking about audio and everything. So let's be a nice, refreshing video. And welcome to this video. Now, on this channel, I always talk about budget stuff from budget microphones from. All right. Now, personal pet peeve of mine. We haven't really got into it yet, but we're reviewing the Blue Snowball right now and you're recording to a lav mic. Yeah, I was about to say that. Yeah, like I'm sure you're gonna switch over to the mic at some point and then show like how it sounds. But I like it just to get straight to the point. Like today guys were reviewing the Sure SM7B and that's what I'm recording on right now. It sounds really good and here's what I like about it. And then you can like, you know, cut it, cut to stuff. So I was just laughing at that. I have no intro. That was really good. It's like a second and he goes, I have no intro. And it goes straight to the Blue Snowball. That's awesome. I like that kind of comedy. Another thing, when the cam is on you, I've noticed that you are slightly out of focus as to when we are filming the Blue Microphone. Comparing, it's a lot in focus. A lot, that is beautiful English by me. So yeah, so when we're looking at the Blue Mic, it's in focus, but when it goes back to you, you're slightly out of focus. Just ever so slightly. Like a couple of millimeters off. But yeah, that's one of the fun parts of recording by yourself. If you're not looking through the viewfinder, it's hard to- Oh yes, yeah, definitely. I'm definitely, I definitely don't have a foot stand on that one because I do it all the time. And I get to editing, I'm like, ah. Yeah, like with my DSLR, people would always yell at me because I would set it to auto because like I can't trust myself to get it super crisp. And I would sit there and I'd like focus on my chair, switch it to manual, go to sit down. It's focused on my chair. I'm like three inches in front of it, you know? I need someone to actually sit down in the chair to focus it, to make it perfect. And I don't have anybody here when I record. So. What I do like, just a little small thing is how you've got the microphone in the background on the left there. So you're actually taking advantage of the gap that you've got between your shoulder and the, you know. So you're actually making a good show of that. And I'm liking the different angles of the cam. Yeah, the b-roll shots. Yeah, of the microphone. Yeah, they are, that's good. Now, I'm still waiting for the part where we cut to what the mic sounds like. Yeah, yeah, I was about to say that. Hello, one-leg vlogs. That's gonna be, oh, here we go. And also after talking to the microphone, so yeah, this is kind of weird. But anyway, you get the point, you can see the actual sound quality of the microphone right here. And also, in my opinion, I think the blue sounds a little bit better than your lav mic. So, it might have been beneficial for the whole entire video to be recorded on that, like what we just mentioned earlier. And then if you need to cut away to it, to show parts, then you can cut to your lav mic. But I know it's a little bit more work, but people are coming here to see this microphone and see what they, you know, think of it. So why not record the audio on it so you'd know what that is? Because like this whole two minutes where you're talking into it, you could have incorporated that into the first five minutes and done that all in one thing. But at the end, it's a good video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's good. Straight to the point. Straight to the point you're not messing around, especially with the intro. Yeah, I'm just thinking you can not mess around even more so if you would record straight to that. Because you are straight to the point, like you said, you are, you know, getting directly to what you wanna do. It's just, yeah, if you would just record straight to that microphone, you could even nix out another two minutes. So yeah, cool. I'm liking that. Yeah, good video. All right, one more. One more video. DJ Bonzo has been asking all throughout the chat for us to check out his channel. So I think it's only fair. Okay. So I'll click on that one. Before you go, check out any of my videos, please. So we got free reign. You can pick whatever we want. Cool. I like that. Okay. Oh no, I try not to laugh challenge. I already laughed, crap. No. Let's watch, it looks like it's primarily gaming. So let's watch the gaming video. Yeah. But which one? You pick one and send to me. Oh no. Okay. Party exclamation mark. There you go. Cool. I'll get that fancy boy intro. That's actually kind of cool. I've never seen that freedom intro. Huh. Nice. Yeah, that's actually kind of cool. Transformers, nice. Oh, is that what this game is? Oh no, no, that's the intro. Sorry, it looked like a... So 49 minutes long again. Yeah. All right. I'm assuming this is a Twitch stream. So that looks like that one. No, you can even go on and edit down your Twitch stream afterwards. You know, you don't have to post up the whole entire thing. Now, let's see. This mission. Has he said what game he's playing? And it's day's video for episode nine of Least. I think he did. I'm coming back. Okay. Hold up. I think you've got the cutscenes included. So it's kind of like a story. So you're playing with the game. So you're not just playing. That's good. That gives you an indication that there is story. Now in the intro, I didn't catch what game you're playing. You might have said it while Jordan was cocking or something. I don't know. But you did say it was episode five and nothing here indicates that it's episode five. It just says party. So like if I did search this game, which I don't know what game it is, if I did search it and I wanted to see part one, I would be under the assumption that this is part one because there's nothing here saying anything other than that. So you might want to be a little bit more clear on your thumbnails and on your titles, little stuff like that to help navigate the viewer to the particular video that they want to see. Luma Master says this is Call of Duty Black Ops 2, the campaign. Sorry, I is noob. I don't know game. Yeah, I don't game. What is game? I know the hokey pokey and I know that that's about it. I can do GTA five, but that's them. But only on the PS3. All right. So you're playing the campaign. So yeah, we're going to be seeing the cut scenes and everything. So we can't really criticize on the length if he's doing the campaign. Well, you can still chop it down like 10, 15. Yeah. You don't have to record it all in one bulk. Yeah. I just want to shoot people. Come on. Now right here, you were complaining. You said, come on, I just want to shoot people. I want to get to the game. Now, if you as the player are feeling like this, imagine what the people watching are feeling like. If you're getting bored playing it, what's the viewer going to think? So I know this is a campaign and all the parts kind of matter, but maybe talk over it, talk about what you had for dinner, have something to fill that section and connect the viewer and make that part not boring for either of you. Because if you can make it entertaining for yourself, then the viewer will be entertained as well. Or if you can't do that, just simply cut that part and say, like, then we went to the elevator and then cut to like when you get out. You can knock out a whole minute, you know? So the quality of the game footage audio-wise is not very good. Like it's got that underwater sound. So I'm assuming you're recording the audio coming out the speakers, which... Maybe, yeah. And whatever you're recording your voice on as well is you sound like you're in the other room. That's what I'm just saying, but I think we'll probably be best at... Whatever you're recording on, whatever you're recording the game footage on, maybe if it doesn't record audio as well, maybe it's just one of those things because it does happen sometimes. Try and find something that will record the audio, record it better. Or maybe it's doing both. Yeah, I can't really tell. To me, it sounds like he's put a microphone in between him and the TV. He's just recording the game footage. How are you doing it? It kind of sounds like he did both, maybe. I don't know. It's like when the people talk, it's kind of crisp. That's just, there's also that natural ambience in the background too. This is weird, I'm just watching a guy getting mauled by an electro spider. Oh no, get out of his eyeball. But yeah. Yeah, just like the quality video wise, isn't that bad? The audio isn't all there and you do narrate on parts, but I think you just need to focus on filler now. Like if you are gonna keep this whole section, then try to find a way just to keep the viewer, entertain with your commentary throughout it. Definitely. No, I can't. Go ahead. You can't depend on the game for the entertainment. The idea of you streaming this is because you're entertaining as well. So that does help a lot. Yeah. There's actually a lot of people that do commentary-list gameplay. So you just watch the play through, but if you're going for commentary, then go for commentary. Can't do like one end or the other. Yeah, it's all down to taste really with that stuff. Now I do like the addition of your social media is up here so you can help promote yourself. And then you also have some sponsor me code down at the bottom. I'm not too entirely sure what that's for. I'm sure you said it somewhere in the video, but we don't have time to sit down and watch the whole 50 minute video. But yeah. You just think you can't make it up to me for it? The ending, oh man. But yeah, that's funny. All right, cool. Yeah, good stuff. I think you're on the right track again, just trying like tidy things up, make it a little bit more snappy and get that filler on lock. So anyways guys, that is it for us today. I actually need to hop off here into a meeting. Sorry, can't stay longer, but it was fun while we did do it. Again, this has been Mr. George Wilde. He can be found in the cards as well in the description. You can check out his videos and see if you like his stuff and critique him. Let him know if you think of his videos. Yeah. And then if you want to see mine, I'm as well in the cards and description as well. So anyways guys, thank you for hanging out with us and we'll see you next Monday. See ya. Bye bye. And now we have an awkward 15 seconds while I get to the live streaming page where I stop. So feel free to dance for us, Jordan. Oh yeah. Get it. Monday, baby, go critiques. Thanks for watching. See ya.
