My return to youtube, a new video

After a hiatus of over 6 months, I finally made a new youtube video.

This is a review of a product that I purchased a few years back that sounded really intriguing. I've had the idea of doing this review for quite some time and just never put it into production until now. I thought this would be really hilarious and show how insane I am. The final product didn't seem as humorous as what I was hoping for, but there are a couple of entertaining lines in there.

The funny thing is, this was the toughest youtube video to edit, besides my first ones when I didn't know video editing. The problem I faced was that I shot it at so many different angles, the lighting was different for each, and each angle was shown separately at different points in the video. So I had to use a large amount of separate tracks, adjust the lighting for each, and then make it flow together. The frustration has now caused me to purchase a lighting kit for future videos.

This video also took a large amount of takes while filming. I still can't seem to keep a script in my head and then flow with it while in front of a camera. However, after all the editing, I feel that my speech flow came off a lot better than the G15 keyboard review I did, which was for the longest time, my most viewed video.

Also, I wanted to do this video after thegaminginsiders.com went live. That way I could use this video as my first to have a mention of our new podcast. It is one of the very first methods we have used thus far to promote the site.
