Symphonious7's BRUTAL Reviews

[Symph]

Hey man, I want your brutal opinion on this one. Just so everyone that sees this knows ahead of time, THAT ISN'T MY ACTUAL VOICE. Haha

Wow. Reeeeaaaally good bro. I laughed alot, that was really funny, and the fact that you then came back and spoke sincerely about not wanting to hurt people's feelings was super cool of you. You just come off as a genuine, cool, funny guy. I think your facial expression was a little too consistent when you were showing the cards, if you could have thought of some different reactions as you held each one up that would have been good, but your gay impression was dead on, and the cards were both kind of gross and stupid funny, but clever funny at the same time. This was so good I'm subbing you man.

WOW!!! I am really happy about that, I expected you to murder me on that one!!! Thank you so much!
I agree with you on the facial expressions though, only problem was I didn't want to know what card was coming so I wouldn't laugh.
Also thanks for the sub! I hope you enjoyed my other videos (if you saw them). I am also a musician but only have one song up as of now.
But I REALLY appreciate the review.

iv never really had someone review one of my videos but i'll give it a chance, haha so if you could review this that would be kewl. thanks!

Ok, first off, you're adorable. You have so much energy, you seem so comfortable with yourself, it's great. The problem I see is that you kind of ramble throughout the video, it's alot of backstory and it comes across kind of... well I was thinking in my head "ok get to the point". I probably wouldn't feel that way if I'd been following you all along though, if I knew your channel and was familiar with you I'd want to hear about how you got started and what it was like for you. But the fact that I don't made all that kind of boring for me. At the same time you are so likeable that it won't matter to everyone. Some people are gonna probably tell you you're too energetic and it's weird or something like that, don't listen to them. It's great you're so bubbly.

I think you need to think a little more about snagging the people who have no idea who you are. Add some humor in as you tell your story, do some cutaways to other clips or use text to make the video entertaining. You need to remember that when people don't know you they aren't interested in your personal life yet. So if you want to share some background with your loyal subscribers, do it in a way that will entertain people who have no idea who you are. But outside of that, you shine and have that vlogger spirit. Perhaps you should think more about editing, and adding flare and pizazz to your videos (yeah I said pizazz, you got a problem with that?) But think of a way to spice it up, I know you can do it cause you're just bursting at the seems with personality

Alright Symph7 here's the latest release from the Guerrilla Day Project. 'Episode 2: Date Squared' is working its way through a complete ADR overhaul. We've got a few scripts lined up to continue the series, so this is a great time for criticism. Feel free to go to town. That's why we're here.

Looking forward to hearing more of your music and opinions.

Brutal reviews are the best kind. I would kindly request a quick look at one in a series of shorts that I do on the video game industry if you have a moment. The time you put into this is much appreciated. The newest is in my signature.

This was a huge improvement from last time, you could understand it much better, and I DID get alot of the jokes. I laughed at the attorney popping up all over the place and just the absurdity of it all. There's still audio issues though, it could stand to be louder, and it's like you're using different mics for different shots or something so the different camera angles sound different. I'm going to assume this is not by choice and is a limitation you face so there's not much you can do about that. A few parts were a little weird in how they felt, like the actors reactions didn't seem completely believable. One that sticks out is when the guy sits on the fire, something about his performance just seemed not quite there as far as me believing it, but for the most part the acting was good and once again you pulled off that stylish vibe that makes you seem cool. You guys make me think you'd be a fun group of people to hang out with. So yeah, I think I'll give this a rating... I'm gonna say 7/10. Thanks for dropping by!

Ok content wise you nailed it. You articulated yourself great, your points were valid, your energy was where it needs to be, you gave out great information. No rambling, no repeating yourself, all that was fine. But to just show that one scene in that 2D game the whole time, it just didn't seem to visually match. It seemed lazy of you to be saying all this stuff while just showing a boring scene from one game. I'd have liked to see lots of footage from different games, and see the visual aspect line up with the things you're saying. Showing pictures and screen shots and video that is tailored to fit what's being said. Other than that there's nothing to complain about, great message, great delivery with your speaking, but visually it seemed lazy and poorly thought out.

Hey symphonious, I'd appreciate one of your reviews on this video (the second part since the 1st i felt like i spent alot of time just explaining what the game was).

Thanks for taking the time to review it if you can

When I was directing that scene I kept pushing to use real fire, but that prissy actor wouldn't listen to me advocating for production value. Then again I can't remember the last time I won an argument with myself. The next episode will have uniform sound, that's our goal from here on out: To find controlled locations and use field mixing equipment and have a technician for audio. The series only becomes more absurd as it continues, so hold onto your seat we've got more gettable jokes and seeming-cool coming together as each episode unfolds. The In-stoner-gators and the Neighborhood Watch aren't in episode 2; we shot a dating comedy episode. How would you like to see those ninjas reappear in That Guy's life?

sounds cool man! It's an intriguing series for sure with a nice line up of actors and a unique vibe so I don't just like reviewing it, I'd watch it for entertainment's sake.
