Please Review My Channel.

Hello, I am AWESOME
Like the title, and thread is named, I would like you to critique the hell out of my channel. My future goal is to become a Partner, not just for the money, but to make people laugh, be entertained, and sometimes though provoking. My videos are all over the place, random skits and vlogs. I would make two channels but why? I am no where big enough to see the need of two channels. I really just like to make random videos that do serve some purpose but any critique/critism/advice will help me.

I hope to hear from you, thanks.

Ok...so first off...I apologize for taking so long with this review. Busy and stuff. Anyway...

So the videos I checked out were your 2011 montage, your seajay vlog and 25 things you didn't know about me...and here's what I'm thinking...

I truly believe you guys could really benefit from better/quicker editing. I feel the pacing dragged a little bit in each video and the punchlines could have been cleaner if you made the clips shorter and got rid of the dead space. I felt myself waiting for someone to say something too much, and that can really hurt a potential audience who can just as easily click to another youtuber.

Let's talk about the vlog first. Everything I just said applied to that, but also, think about sitting in a quieter chair. I don't know if you have other videos which feature that chair...but it's extremely distracting. And I saw in your description "This is why I don't let him vlog." Is that supposed to be funny? Was the vlog supposed to be boring/weird/hard to watch or something? Look at it from an audience's perspective: if you stumbled on a channel and saw a video and in the description you see "this is why I don't vlog" before the video even starts, will you be tempted to keep watching? Or ill you cut your losses and move on to something else? Think about that when writing your descriptions, cuz I think the statistic is 20-25% of people read them. Also, I feel like the vlog dragged on and was borderline hard to watch at times, and if that was your point, I don't understand. It's fun to make fun of in a video, but making a video purposely trolling to this extent is...I dunno...it's not going to get you views or subscribers.

The 25 things video was funny at parts...although I feel like you beat some of your jokes to death. The number 15 joke was good the first time...after that I found myself groaning when you kept bringing it up. Then again...I'm a guy who likes the more straightforward punchline type of comedy.

The best advice I can give you guys is to try and take more care into what you're putting up. Expand on those ideas...because this review isn't the first time I've stumbled on your channels..you guys have a lot of half baked ideas that could be great, but I feel like you rush through them, making them lackluster. You could work on your sound and your lighting, but other than that, it's all about persistence. Figure out the sense of humor you want to do and go for it...and ALWAYS remember...if it doesn't make you laugh, or at least smile, cut that scene, because that 3-4 second clip is enough time to get someone to click another video.

But that's just my two cents, take with it as you will. And if you have any questions or concerns about what I said here...please feel free to ask or comment.
 
First off, thanks for reviewing my channel. I see understand everything you said, I see it all the time.
The thing with 'SeaJays Vlog' is that he was kind of making fun of me but after a few minutes he started to ramble and ramble and ramble but it was his video so I let him do whatever he wanted. The raw video is over 20 minutes long, haha. I edited it down the most coherent I could, which as you noticed isn't that great. Also I think you have to watch more vlogs, like my walking vlogs, to get the subtle/lost joke he was trying to make.
Now about my skit process, yeah it could run 100x more smoother. Working with some people is harder than others, and with SeaJay sometimes its harder than others. Not to get down on the guy, he is my best friend, its just he comes up with some of the craziest ideas and to please him I add them, there's a lot of hits and misses.
But yeah I understand everything you are saying, and I have been trying to get better and better with each video. Maybe this my kick to come up with better quality videos writing and editing wise.
 
It's all about progress and realizing when you want to bring what you do to the next level. The hardest thing I have to do is tell my friends "no" when they come to me with a bad or half-assed idea. And who knows...? Maybe telling him no will force him to come to you with better ideas.
 
The only thing that I didn't like about the videos were the reflections of blue and violet from the lights.
Other than that I had a good laugh at the hostage situation.
Maybe a muzzle and blood effect could have been added.
Keep them video rolling.

Yeah I didn't notice the blue light till I started editing. I really dont know how to a muzzle flash, but thats why I did a quick cut.
