I'll Review Yer Channel!

Most brutally honest review? Well you asked for it :)
Your channel art really shows me something nice and gives me an idea of branding but the channel art doesn't say ANYTHING about what kind of channel you are. Yeah ofcourse, your name is Dual-K films, but thats not really ringing any bells to anyone.
After some digging I find out easily that your channel is about short films and such so try to make that visible in the channel art :)
Your channel trailer begins with a shortfilm of yours, I'd highly suggest, especially for a channel like you to make an unique channel trailer to tell the viewers what you are about to support the channel art. With a channel like yours you should really have a good channel trailer instead of just a random short film :)
Your ways of making shortfilms seems nice, its amusing to watch and you're not saving on camera shots which is a good thing!
The music really helps to match a certain feeling at any moment in the shortfilm, thanks Kevin Macleod!
The shortfilms itself seem very interesting, they're short but that's a good thing, 2 to 5 minutes is a perfect length for a short film.
The audio and video quality of your films are perfect and you've got some nice equipment as I can see as your movies seem very professionally filmed.
I'd recommend you to get a better script for your short films, Captive seemed a bit too long and I lost my interest in the forest part.
The shortfilm Mirror was somehow more interesting though but still had a weird feeling to it, I don't know what to think after seeing it!

Thanks for the review! Really helped me think about how I can improve :).
 
Hey hello, i would like a review :) every little feedback helps a person grow :)
Once again I am starting off with channel art. Your avatar does not match your banner, and I certainly see a kind of style in the banner.
You might want to change the banner to, the text is hard to read due to the images in it.
Your channel trailer seems fine, it's not awesome but it's normal, you're introducing yourself which is fine.
I go to your latest video and your intro is fine, for a second I thought, oh this guy doesnt have an intro but thats perfectly fine, then suddenly all dubstep and stuff an intro came out of nowhere. The intro is too long, it just shows your name zooming in and out on the beat, perhaps you might wanna shorten it.
Your audio and video quality is perfect! Your commentary is also good, you do seem to have a bit of an accent but so do I, are you Dutch by any chance?
Also I admire your facecam, it's perfectly well fit in the corner and a normal size, good job on that. In your Wings of Vi video it's a bit too small though, perhaps make it a bit bigger there, or don't use one at all.

My conclusion: Mostly work on your channel art, perhaps create a more original channel trailer, and you might want to add some background music to your videos, it really creates a certain feeling when you use the right background.
For now I'd rate you a 7 out of 10, you've got some things to adjust but there is certainly some potential :)[DOUBLEPOST=1452160658,1452160457][/DOUBLEPOST]
Would Appreciate a review :)
Your banner is great, but your avatar does not match your banner, make sure the two fit each other. (Why do so many people not get it? :D)
It seems like you're a tutorial channel for gamers which was easily read in your banner, good job on that.
You do not seem to have a channel trailer but as the kind of channel you are, you don't really need one but if you'd like you can make one.
The first thing that I see is that your thumbnails are strange, with your kind of videos you can really get ALOT of views with good thumbnails so try to improve them alot by making it recognizable by the thumbnail what the video is about.
Your tutorials are easily followed and on your latest video your microphone quality is perfectly fine, so is the video quality.

My conclusion: Keep up with the tutorials but work on your channel art, create yourself a simple and easy style so that videos can easily be recognized and people can see on the thumbnails what you're about.
I'd rate your channel a 7 out of 10 because you are almost nailing with what you're aiming for but still got some improvement to do.[DOUBLEPOST=1452160986][/DOUBLEPOST]
Review my channel to your hearts content. Massacre it if it's terrible. Marry it if it's incredible (That may/may not be literal).
Channel art is average, it's not what I say, woah this looks awesome but atleast the avatar and banner match and seem clear.
You don't really have a channel trailer but you show a montage of free kicks which shows what your channel is about, so in this case it's good enough.
I see you've just started so keep up on that, keep the uploads coming and make sure you're consistent in uploading them.
In your latest video you've got a microphone which doesn't seem to have a pop filter, when you pronounce a P you can hear a really loud PFF in the microphone, either move the microphone to your left or something to get rid off that or buy a pop filter :)
Your microphone seems to have fine quality and so does your video quality.
Your commentary is quick, easy to understand and you are clear in your speaking. I'm not a soccer fanatic but you are doing quite good in your videos.

My conclusion:
You're off to a good start but you gotta make sure to keep the upload stream consistent. You also might want to update the channel art to make it look more like a fifa channel, and perhaps work a bit on improving your thumbnails. Your first thumbnail seems to be your best thumbnail.
I'd rate you a 7,5 out of 10 right now but you would get to an 8 if you've got some more videos and updated the channel art, keep it up :)[DOUBLEPOST=1452161024][/DOUBLEPOST]
You placed two posts and didn't even take time to really join this forum, do you think I'm gonna take the time to review your channel? Sorry mate.[DOUBLEPOST=1452161409][/DOUBLEPOST]
I would also love a review! :)
Alrighty, here we go then!
Your channel art is nailing it, the avatar is a picture of you but it also fits your banner, finally someone who understands how channel art works :)
I just gotta love the simplicity on your banner, it's good, and even shows me when you upload new videos!
I notice you do not have a channel trailer which you really need. You appear to be a vlogging channel so you really want to INTRODUCE yourself to potential subscribers and viewers, the channel is about you, make sure we know who you are, what you do, what your channel is about.
I go to your latest video and arche my eyebrow for the first second, then smile for the freaking random intro :D
Your microphone seems to have some noise on the background, try to improve the microphone quality by removing the noise with software such as audacity or buy a better microphone :)
The background music is perfectly fine and you seem like an interesting person to watch, and your editing is also fine, not great or something, but its fine :)

My conclusion is very simple and clear. You really want to get a channel trailer to introduce people to your channel!
Also you want to get rid of the noise on the background, especially for channels like you its important to have a clear audio :)
Your personality seems interesting and I'm sure there's some potential in your channel, so keep it up!

I'd rate you a 7 out of 10 right now and if you'd only create a channel trailer and improve the microphone quality then that'd become an 8, keep it up :)[DOUBLEPOST=1452161905][/DOUBLEPOST]
I'd love some constructive criticism, please!
I see where you were going with your channel art, and your banner seems nice but its kinda blurry, probably because you resized it later on. You might wanna remake it and make sure its clear and doesn't look blurry :)
You also want to adjust your avatar and make it fit your banner!
The channel trailer is amazing, I assume you made the music yourself, if yes, then that's an amazing way to show off your work.
I assume your channel is about vlogs and music covers, so I go to your latest vlogging video and check it out.
Your microphone quality is good, but your video quality itself is mwahhhh, you uploaded the video in 720p and 1080p but there's no way that that camera is recording HD, you should really improve on that camera :)
I'm not gonna judge on the video otherwise because I am not sure what people like to watch in that genre.
I go to your latest singing video and dang you've got some talent, keep that up!

I've got a conclusion:
Work on your channel art, and most importantly you've really gotta improve your camera quality and in your singing videos your microphone too at some point!
You are so good at singing but your microphone is holding back on that, it's not too bad but later on you might wanna improve on that later on to really get the best quality out of your singing!
For now I'd rate you a 7,5 out of 10 as you've got an original channel which mixes vlogging and singing, which I see fit. Keep it up :)
 
I'd love to hear your thoughts on mine! I've actually been collecting reviews this week, in preparation for this year and being the best I can be, so honestly, your opinion is seriously very much appreciated.
Here's hopin' I don't suck balls!
One review for a loyal YTtalker, coming right up! :)
The channel art, normally I hate on avatars that don't match with the style of the banner but you did that right. Your banner is very simple black and white-ish and your avatar is in black and white, which makes it fit, good job!
MWEH- No channel trailer but just a random video. It's a way of introducing yourself and letting potential viewers dive into your videos straight away and let them have a touch of it but perhaps you might want to get a real trailer :)
Video and audio quality is good! Background music is also perfectly placed!
Your personality is awesome! You have certainly got alot of potential! You've got character and thats what makes your kind of channels unique!
I go to your Life With BPD video and gotta love the intro, it's short but perfect!
I admire how you share such personal information with the viewers, my respect!
This video, seems to be 9 minutes long but what I'd recommend is to shorten it, around 5 minutes would be perfect for your kind of videos. People will not easily click away and think, oh its only 5 minutes long, I can take that, and will watch the whole video!

So I've got my conclusion ready.
Your channel nails what it's aiming for but has some small things to be fixed here and there, which is the length of videos. You might wanna shorten them to 5 minutes for some of the videos and see if you've got some increasement if views, I could be wrong so you can just continue with longer videos but you should give it a try. You've got an awesome personality and character so you're perfect for this kind of channel what you're doing.

I'd rate you a 8 out of 10 as you're doing a dang fine job, keep it up :)[DOUBLEPOST=1452162782,1452162380][/DOUBLEPOST]
I would like a review! Thanks :)
Channel art is ALMOST nailing it! The text in the middle seems kinda blurry, it might be me, but try to make that clear then you're good :)
Your channel trailer is wrong. Don't start off your channel trailer with text, nobody is interested by that, instead just say it yourself, that'd work WAY and WAY better than text! The other part of the channel trailer seems fine to me!
I go to your latest dishonored video, and it seems like your game is lagging a bit, try to improve that! There's so many gaming channels out there which have 60fps gaming videos, why would they watch a lagging video of yours?
Your intro seems fine but is too long, shorten it as there's nothing much interesting going on apart from a cat flying through the screen. Just make the logo of you pop up and then boom, done with the intro, that would be good enough!
Your commentary seems perfectly fine and is interesting to listen to!
For a gaming channel you've got 11 minutes of gameplay, I will suggest you to try to shorten your videos to 7 or 8 minutes and see what happens to the views, people really tend to watch shorter gaming videos which contain interesting things than 11 minutes which are not full of interesting stuff to watch.
Your video and audio quality seems fine and I've got a conclusion already.

Your channel is about you gaming and you're one awkward guy, thats the concept of your channel, original, I may say.
Now you want to improve on the games, (on Dishonored atleast), make sure the games you play are atleast 60fps, many people do not watch videos which lag and stutter, so they'll click away. You might want to improve on the intro too and the channel trailer. Also fix that thing on the banner.

I'd give you a 6,5 out of 10 for now, with the improvement done this would convert into a 7,5 or 8![DOUBLEPOST=1452163353][/DOUBLEPOST]
Could i get a review please?
Gotta love the banner of your channel, but the avatar, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE MAKE THE AVATAR FITTING TO THE BANNER?!?!
Work on the avatar, and make it fitting to the banner, perhaps make the camera thing your logo, your avatar!
You've got no channel trailer and you really might want one, what I'd suggest is to make a channel trailer which introduce us to your films, show us some of your best clips from these movies in your trailer which makes the viewer want to watch your movies!
Your audio and video quality seem fine, which is really a must, so good job on that!
I watched your video named Pain Test and god dang I've gotta say this, I'm not easily amused by videos but throughout this whole video I had a smile on my face! You aced it! The punches seemed real, the editing was good and you two seem very well fit for what you're doing, I've gotta say, a really nice job on that!
The music really fit perfect under the movie and I've got a conclusion.

Keep up with these awesome shorts, just improve a bit on the avatar and you're good to go!
I'd rate you a 8,5 out of 10, THAT'S THE HIGHEST I EVER GAVE TO SOMEONE HERE!
Make sure to upload consistently and you'll create a fanbase really soon, also some promotion the right way would really boost your subs and viewers.
This is a channel I'd watch, keep it up with awesome and funny shorts, do not stop with this.[DOUBLEPOST=1452164015][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hi! I'd really appreciate a review on my channel :)
Last of the day, here we go!
Channel art, simply good, really fits the mood of your channel!
Your channel trailer starts with one of your videos, random but it surely introduces what you're about, which fits the channel!
The voice over, story teller or whatever is a good and interesting female voice to listen to, I dunno if that's you but good job!
The microphone quality is an important factor on the channel and I must say it's as clear as it can be!
I love the idea of your channel and gotta say that it's dang original and you really know what you're doing!

This is a short review but I've got a clear vision already.
Your channel really gives the viewer a unique, creepy feel. Your voice is really fitting over the videos, a really good voice for telling stories like you are.
Your latest video is quite long and I am doubting, would I, or someone, watch a video that long? I doubt it, especially when I can only listen to it and not see anything. Perhaps there's a way to give some extra footage, something to also watch when you're telling the story. I feel like one background picture is not gonna do it, and perhaps you can find a job to add something to the video, different pictures maybe? Some scary footages which fits the story? You can also create some variation by inviting other people to do the voices of the stories, that'd be cool to hear and not consistently put you in the spotlight of the stories.
Other than that the music also fits the piece and so I'd continue with the result.

I'd rate you an 8 out of 10. Your channel is unique and you're doing a good job on it but you're uploads are not consistent enough to make it big. Try to upload a weekly story, because then you'll really attract the attention you deserve. Perhaps add some extra footage and pictures to the longer stories to make it even more interesting to listen to and watch. Perhaps now and then have a guest starring do the voice overs to give a bit of variation (I'd even love to volunteer and help out with that :D)

Good job and keep it up, I'd love to see more!
 
Once again I am starting off with channel art. Your avatar does not match your banner, and I certainly see a kind of style in the banner.

Hey man, thanks alot for your time to look into it ! i now have a bit of points to improve on, it really helps :)
Sadly you heard a accent, yes i'm dutch indeed. Tho i thought (hoped) it wasn't that clear as other dutch youtubers D: are you dutch as well then ?

I will start working on it today, thanks alot again :)
 
Thanks a lot, dude!
Yeah, video length appears to be the general consensus when it comes to making improvements, so good to have another suggestion to back that up! I'm filming a new video today, so here's hoping it's as short as I'd like it to be!
 
Thank you so much! I'll definitely work on a channel trailer today - and I'll try to do something about the audio, I know it sucks, and I've been trying to change that...
But anyway, thanks a lot for the review, I really appreciate it :)
