I don't even think it should be questioned whether or not Symph's reviews are incredibly helpful. The answer seems...obvious.

Ya, and we're not just saying that because we know him.....he really does give thoughtful reviews with real opinions, he isn't afraid to tell the truth and let you know where you need improvements, and what you've done best. He takes the time to go through the videos and layout a careful response. Because of him, I've improved some of my facial expressions when I'm singing, and even improved on some of my editing techniques.

I was simply making an observation based on the fact that a bunch of gamers is posting videos to his thread they are in many cases just young kids. They probably are looking for views and the observation was based on the forum in general. For the most part regardless of what you feel and if you watch this forum a good bunch of posters are just looking for views and dont care how they get it lol. Its not really anything other more then that. It an observation based on the ENTIRE reviews forum and NOTHING more. So again I would ask that everyone just put their pitchforks and war drums away.

That would be great thanks .. :D

*wanders off to read another thread*
 
Lol I don't have a pitchfork or a war drum :p........
that's good cause I made no other comment then that and its pretty wierd watching it turn and morph into a comment about something else .. because i read what I type and it says something else. I even qualify it and I am watching in amazement as my words are magically turning into something else again and quite honestly its bizzare. I type words and they go on the forum and suddenly the conversation turn wierd. Yet I read the words and no they are the same as when I typed them. /shrug
 
Wow... never seen anyone give reviews like you do.

Not too long ago, I've been burdened by my high school kids I am responsible for at church.
I am their Youth Leader so to speak and just love them to death.
Recently, I've seen some lack of interest on spiritual matters and church in general.
Thus, I wanted to spice things up a bit and wanted to convey "church" as a place of fun and not a place of boredom.
I've been planning various activities to be played out right after sermon of each week.
I thought putting up a promo video catering to my kids each week would be a great idea to boost interest and harvest some smiles.
This is the third video of the series.
I call it "Fun Church".
I would love to hear your input on how effective this video is according to my goal: sparking interest to the church.

To give you a little insight of the first two videos... it has been a pretty decent success so far!
People have been staying after sermon to partake in the activities and they are, at least in my opinion, enjoying the day!

My video below:

Video Information:
My goal is to choose a different youth member each week and put them on the spotlight. For the most part, I allow them to speak the language they are most comfortable with. The name of the youth last week is "Yeop" pronounced "Yup" and he chose to speak in Korean. Whenever a different language is spoken, I try to put subtitles so that others who don't understand the language can comprehend it. Yeop has quite a colourful personality so I took advance in using him to his fullest ability. Even though he is a funny kid, and, in many times, quite a joker, he was very shy dancing in public (ie a shopping mall and a Korean supermarket) because he never did something like that before. I encouraged him to the best of my ability and eventually, after many takes, he pulled through! I am quite proud of him. I used a popular Korean song called, "Monster" by BigBang (some KPOP song...). I wanted them to have a bit of familiarity to the song so that they can relate to it.

The youth presented at the end of the video is projected to go the next week - I try to keep this component consistent for each video of the series. Side note: at the very end, when we say, "Hul"... that's a Korean word that pretty much means, "Are you serious?"

I already know many things I could have improved on this video. Especially my use of captions on paper... I had a much more effective scheme in mind, but due to lack of time, I was only able to come up with this... not as effective as I had imagined! Anyway, this is for you to review and for me to keep my mouth shut. If you can help me further improve my videos to further spark the interest of my awesome high school kids, please, by all means, fire away!

I already watched this the other day and I have to say I LOVED it. It was brilliant, really well done. I agree that you.. you should have consolidated what you wanted to say on the pieces of paper, it was too drawn out and it brought the energy down you should have been more concise and to the point. But other than that, the way you guys danced, the jump from scene to scene, the people standing around while you were doing it, the song you chose, it was all just superb. Im a christian too, I have a christian channel called "symphcontroversy" but I avoid it alot of times because it gets so much drama on it that I have to prepare myself to even see if I have comments lol.

I'm not sure you made "church" seem fun per se, but you definitely made you and your friend look like fun christians. You're showing that christians can cut loose and express themselves and have a good time, and that's going to be attractive to anyone. If I was going to rate this I'd give it 8/10 it was very very enjoyable.
