Can you review mine please?

1. Banner/logo
Nice Banner. I do like the floating blocks in the background and the use of a dynamic colour scheme. Lovin the font. In fact what is it? :p Just so if you want to try it out. Have you tried putting a colour outline around your words or a glow? Eg. Black outline + White outline. This would add more emphasis to it.

Logo: Overall good but whatever it is, I cannot read the blue writing.

2. Thumbnail/s
Not bad. If anything a bit minimalistic. I suggest you take a look at other people's thumbnails and take inspiration from them.

3. Audio
Audio could be better. Going by your latest vid, audio quality is a little poor and there is a significant amount of background noise in some parts of your video. I suggest investing in a better microphone or some better noise removal processes. If you use Audacity, just a quick google search on how to remove background noise should help. Game audio wise, your good.

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
Top Notch video editing. I like the use of Prezi in your channel trailer and I especially like your latest intro. In fact what on earth do you use? :pP. But according to your latest vid and the prezi part of your trailer, you have black lines on the sides of your video. I'm not sure if you did this on purpose but I suggest if you want to rectify this. Try increasing the scale of each video with the video editing program you use.

5. Summary
Some good ideas. Just need a little tweeking. Some in video and a lot in audio. Good luck![DOUBLEPOST=1395605402,1395604045][/DOUBLEPOST]

1. Banner/logo
Love your banner AND logo. Fits into your 'frost' theme. Nothing wrong here.

2. Thumbnail/s
You're thumbnails aren't bad but they do seem a little all over the place on the wider perspective. For your latest video, I cannot clearly read/see the top (yellow font) of your thumbnail. Try adding a coloured outline to it or even a glow which you have done in your NBA vids it seems. Black always works. For your latest vid, you need to have some sort of impact factor to bring in viwers, try finding more impactful pictures. You have done this well with you rNBA and madden vids but you should apply this with ALL your thumbnails. Just my opinion on it.

3. Audio
Great. From your latest vid I can hear your voice perfectly fine and the game audio levels compliment it well.

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
Nice intros, it fits the theme of your channel well and is short enough for people not to leave b4 it even starts.
I can see you use fades towards the end of your video and your outro once again does what it sets out to do. Though, there is no room for adding links to other videos. You should think about that. The format of your vids doesn't require all that much editing and where there are, it's of a high quality. Keep it up!

5. Summary
Overall I like concept of your videos. I can tell you enjoy what you talk about and each vid a nice flow to it. You should try participating in the comments sections a bit more by adding your own with each vid. Just introducing the video and all with each upload. Not many poeple read the description. GOOD LUCK! And if you have time review mine! :)[DOUBLEPOST=1395606362][/DOUBLEPOST]

1. Banner/logo
Your logo is very unique and stands out from the crowd. This is a little subjective so forgive me if my opinion pisses you off. Your banner, while good, I personally think you should try centreing it a bit more. I feel there's a lot of unused space too (black part), perhaps add a black pattern for it that perhaps relates to your channel? That's just my cup of tea.

2. Thumbnail/s
I like yours a lot. I especially like the AC black flag one. Honestly nothing wrong here. I'd just like to comment that for your ps1 classics. The Playstation logo takes up a lot more of the video thumbnail than it should for my liking.

3. Audio
It does seem to peak sometimes and does seem to have some static if you listen carefully to your latest video but otherwise good. What microphone do you use, these peaks shouldn't be happening really if it's generally good quality..... do you do anything particular with your audio editing? You could try googling some more advanced audio editing techniques.

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
Your video editing is fine. Your outros are minimalistic and works great here. No room for social networking links tho. You should look into that. As for the concept of your videos, I'm loving it, over-the-top yet structured.

5. Summary
I think you have a lot of potential here. You have some good ideas and some engaging commentary. Just some fine tuning and you'll be right as rain....GOOD LUCK! And if you have time, review mine. Thanks.[DOUBLEPOST=1395606691][/DOUBLEPOST]

so that i dont end up repeating things i think that nad is 100% correct about the opening video because after i watched that i didnt want to sub but i couldnt stop watching your titan fall video!
Click to expand...
Hey!
I'm sorry I don't quite seem to get you....So are my openings bad? You don't want to sub but you can't stop watching one of my vids? Sorry just some clarification would be nice. Otherwise thanks for the feedback!

And I'm sorry when I click your link, it says your channel doesn't exist? :S. Could you provide a link to the specific video you want reviewed?
 
Thanks for the review. I'll be making a new logo soon.
I use the Sony Wireless Pulse Elite Headset to record my voice, it's £100, but my mate said I should get a Snowball.
The font is EVE Alpha and to make my intros I used a website called flixpress.com. Only use the free ones though.
The background noise will probably be my laptop fans, they get as hot as a volcano sometimes.
I don't know what the black borders are on my videos, I use Bandicam to record, and I select OpenGL/DirectX (It records in fullscreen on what ever I click on).

Those posts usually receive a lot of feedback :D
But feel free to review my channel as well :)

Edit: And to Review yours:
It seems like your Channel is fairly new but as far as I see your videos are great!
You bring it straight to the point and your voice is very engaging as well.
I personally find your trailer not very informative.
It didn't explain what you are doing on your channel.
I would recommend you to make a trailer where you speak (since you have a great voice) and show short clips of games you make videos about. Same with your banner. It doesn't really give any information.
I think a banner with some characters of games you are playing on it would make more sense because it gives the audience an orientation what kind of channel this is.
I personally am also not a big fan of your profile picture. It looks for me like a simple "google search pic" but this is also only my personal opinion.

Other than that your Channel is great. You play recent games, your thumbnails are good, your videos are informative and entertaining. If you continue like this I'm sure that you will grow a lot in the coming months.

Thanks for the review of my channel! Great voice! HAHA! If anything I thought that would be a downside :p You're right about the trailer. I went for impact more than info. And I'll take your feedback on my pic and banner into account. Hmm....

Anyways here's yours!

1. Banner/logo
Your Banner and logo are great. They compliment exactly what your channel sets out to do.

2. Thumbnail/s
I think they are generally good. A lot, fit exactly what you're trying to convey such as your comparisons and reviews. Though others, such as your older Photography's how-tos have black lines at the top and bottom. Could be purposeful. Otherwise you should look into it.

3. Audio
Your audio sounds very professional, no problems here. However, I suggest you should try using adding some ambient music as a background to your voiceovers, which you have done! But not with your latest videos. Why is that?

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
I can see why you say my channel trailer doesn't have much info because yours does!
You intros are great. Very sleek. In fact, what program do you use? :p
Your outros are minimalistic and work well with the format of your video, particularly your latest one. In your later reviews you use a variety of different angles, and focus shots that add a lot more professionalism to your reviews so keep that up! If you were to go, one step further, you could add some dynamic texts like a lot of phone reviews have these days, that would go a long way. And perhaps a quick summary of the pros and cons at the end of each video would be good?

5. Summary
You clearly know what you're doing and enjoy it too. Just take inspiration/techniques from other reviewers and you can go a long way. GOOD LUCK!

1. Banner/logo
Your banner is certainly other there. Doesn't convey much info on what you do however. You logo on the other hand works pretty well with the overall feel of your channel. It's simple but it works. Reminds me of apple. Perhaps you should make it more obvious that you're doing films tho?

2. Thumbnail/s
Thumbnails are very unique. However for your latest vid, the text is a little cut off at the top. Others are ok.

3. Audio
Audio quality is quite good. If anything for your second video, the audio of the camera man is a little obscure. Other wise, it's good, and the use of music further compliment the uniquness in your videos.

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
Your channel is very out there, haha, I honestly don't know what's going on half the time. But your editing skills are petty good and I'm sure you'll get better at it with time.. For your format, an intro isn't really necessary. However your outro for your latest vid is virtually incomprehensible. Putting white text against a peach colour background does not work very well. The concept of your videos is innovative, but you should try to be a bit more clear exactly what you're story/whatever is about for each vid perhaps in description or comments. More than you are now anyway in my opinion.

5. Summary
You have a unique taste to film. It's going to be difficult to get out into the mainstream but with enough practise your channel can go places. Keep it up and review mine if you can! Thanks.
 
Please can you review my channel, and I know the lighting is bad, its because its always dark when I film but it's getting lighter all the time now :) and I have a new camera coming soon :)

Sup! Could you review my vlogging channel? As for your channel:

Your thumbnails look nice, but your channel icon and banner need some more branding to it. Add your name somewhere on the banner, and try to make your art as best of a summary as your videos possible. Try not using directly downloaded images, and spend some time in Photoshop or Gimp touching it up. I checked your TitanFall video, and you are a pretty good speaker and commentator. That being said, I think you lack a bit of inflection or heavy emotion in your voice. You don't stutter or use lots of filler words, and I can tell you were well-prepared, but you should try showing more enthusiasm! But great start so far!

Thanks for the review! Yeah I should probably add more info to my banner. I'm not sure what to do with my icon tho :/ I kinda like it too much XD As for the more emotion, I think that'll come with time. I'm working on a Top 10 vid and yeah I'm going to make sure that has as much emotion as possible.
Anyways heres yours.

1. Banner/logo
Banner is pretty simplistic as well as your logo but it does fit your channel format so there's no real issues here.

2. Thumbnail/s
Once again. Simple but it works. However I often have to lean into my screen to read the text. Try increasing the size/thinkness or bolding your font a bit more so it is just a little more readable. This isn't really a problem with your older videos since you're against a darker background but for your latest which is against a lighter one, you might. That's just my opinion.

3. Audio
Audio is fine. I can clearly identify the tone in your voice. There's no symptoms of any background noise or pop-filtering. So no problems here.

4. Video/s (concept,editing,etc)
The concept of your video isn't exaclty brand new, but then again what is these days. You edit your videos pretty well. You don't have an intro which is probably for the better with vlogs and your outros are minimalistic. It doesn't seem like you have an exact format with your outros. I suggest you try coming up with a particular formatting (positioning, font, all that) that you can use for all your videos and you can update them when you feel like it. These outros can be as simple as putting a link to fb/twitter on the right/left sides or whatever. Just my taste.

5. Summary
Otherwise, for someone who's supposed to be 'awkward' you sound pretty confident and have a lot going for you. You talk about relevant/new events sometimes and people can relate to you. Keep it up and thanks for the review of mine!
