Asia's Redheaded Step-Child
We just released our first real prank video and I'd love to get some feedback. I taught a fake self defense class to a group of strangers for 90 minutes straight, and this video is just some of the best bits. Please let me know what you think!

I know right away that there's a bit of echo due to the space of the room (we shot ourselves in the foot by not having any lavaliers on us, but you learn!), but hopefully it's not too much of an issue! Would love some feedback on anything that may pop into your head! We're definitely always looking for ways to improve.

Thanks, guys!
 
That was pretty funny. I liked it. The editing worked. It might have been a little tighter at times, but I'm not 100% sure where I would have tightened it up. The only minor issue was the accoustics in the training room was a little off, and it was hard to hear at times, but you tried to overcome it with the subtitles. Did you have a reveal for the participants at the end? I think their reactions would have been priceless, and while I know a lot of youtube prank channels don't do the post reveal interviews, I know the traditional televised ones always did that, and it's kind of a feel good moment and tension breaker allowing the viewer to exit with a slightly uplifted spirits. Plus the creepy doll subscribe ending was a little offsetting and a definite change of mood. Not sure if that was for the best. It was a little too much of tone shift.
 
The editing was good, the audio was good, The picture quality was good (DSLR?), The sketch was painful to watch, not really my sorta thing, but it was effective and clearly accomplished the atmosphere you were going for. Good work :)
