@Klink
Thanks for the review! I started my channel when I was 9 so that's were the obscure username comes from. I did do MapleStory contain for a large majority of my videos however personally the enjoyment died out and I'm trying to lean away from it. I understand where you're coming from with the branding designs, I'll work on rebranding my channel to make it more clear what my channel is about. Again thank you so much for the review, it is greatly appreciated.

Your thumbnails starting from "Sailor Moon - 5th Gen Fighting Games Review" are consistent with your overall brand which is great to see. The thumbnail designs themselves are on the right track but you need to seperate the game case/cover from the background image with a small drop shadow, glow or stroke. I can't notice it as much in the "Evil Dead" trilogy or your "Fallout 4" video but it looks really bad in your "Dragon Ball" and "Gitaroo Man" thumbnails.

It's a shame that the logo you have in your video branding (lower right hand corner) isn't used as your avatar or as a little symbol within your thumbnails. It'll help solidify your brand further.

Content wise your voice over mic quality is fantastic (glad to see it improve over time), logo sting is simple but effective and your reviews are entertaining to watch. My only criticism is in regards to your camera quality when you cut away from game footage. It's on a significantly lower frame rate (sub 24 fps?) which is distracting compared to the 60fps game footage.

Fantastic work overall. Good luck with your channel!

Hey man, glad to see you back here! I love the new branding you have - colours are great and the font/typeface choices are fantastic. Your thumbnails still need work however and your logo sting still doesn't have any of the colours or typefaces used in your new branding. Again, try to keep your brand consistent.

It's good to see how much you've improved since the last time I looked at your channel. Good luck and keep it up!

I'm noticing a lot of fuzziness with your videos with you in front of your green screen. It's a four-fold problem; your camera quality isn't that great, you're standing too close to your green screen, the green screen isn't lit evenly and you aren't lit independently from the green screen. What's happening is that you're not getting the cleanest possible image (there's a lot of visual noise) so when you apply your alpha key, you're not knocking out all of the green (the alpha colour) so you're doing a lot of post processing to even out the edges around you.

I suggest watching this video to get a few handy tips on how to light a green screen and the talent (you):


In regards to the camera quality, I'm noticing you've left the camera on auto focus which is not only distracting but it's also affecting your ability to alpha out the green screen. If possible, I suggest saving up some cash and investing in a higher quality camera and making sure you don't have it set to auto focus.

Apart from that you have an amazing set of pipes; your voice is incredible. I know you'll find success in the future. Good luck!
 
Stellar feedback, my friend! I never even thought to use that sort of effect for my thumbnails. I'll play around with that in subsequent videos! Thanks!

I admire your dedication. You've been doing this for over 3 years and I'm happy to see that you haven't given up on it.

You need to save up and invest in a condenser microphone. In addition your audio mixing is all over the place. In your "How Good is Your Color Vision?" video you're barely audible and then in your "The Bush n' Bait" video it's a lot louder (although still quite soft). You need to mix your audio so that your volume is level, your vocals more so than game volume.

I definitely like your branding and it is consistent with your channel header, logo sting and end card. My only criticism is that your branding isn't incorporated at all into your thumbnails (although some thumbnails have the same pink colour). You might want to consider adding a logo into your thumbnails (the lollipop perhaps?) or at least incorporate more pink into them.

Keep the branding consistent, clean up the audio and above all else, remain persistent. It may not seem like it now but your persistence will pay off.

Thank you :) I really appreciate it! I might consider buying a better mic! I just recently got a job, so maybe that can get me into something cool :)
 
Just doing a good ol' little bump of this thread. If anyone would like their channel to be reviewed I'll be more than happy to take a look at it. If there are no more takers then this will be the end of the thread. After 2,300+ views and over 230 replies, I'd say this thread has been an absolute success. I'm happy to have helped as many content creators and channels as I could. If there are no more replies to this thread and thus will be closed, the advice given in this thread is still important for newcomers to look at for help.

It has been an absolute honour and priveledge to give my advice and watch as several creators in this thread have improved greatly over time. If this is indeed the last post in this thread, good luck to everyone who I have helped and I wish everyone here nothing but the best for their respective channels!
 
Ooooh, I'm wondering what you're thinking about my channel! I just started, I have 6 videos at the moment and it would be awesome when I get some feedback! Please click the link below. Thank you! ;)
