Short Promo

You could have possibly benefited from using a hair light to help separate the subjects from the complete black behind them. Aside from that it was pretty solid.
 
I personally dont think that good videos get attention on youtube and its a website for good videos.Its a website for weird , annoying and pointless videos and those ones get most attention there.I wish they could change the view meter finally cause if you are viewing video and close it in the middle then it adds one view to the meter anyway even if you dont watch the whole material.View meter should add only if video was played from beginning to end.
 
Thanks ninjaturtle. I shot two of the talents without a hair light and once I noticed I shot the other two (myself included) with one, though the light I used was a florescent light which I kinda regret using because it's a whiter light than the rest I used and in a couple of shots it almost looks like the black was green screened. I definitely need to do better there.

I agree about the view counter bwwd. Fortunately for sponsors they only get paid if someone watches at least 30 seconds of a clip. I kinda disagree about no good videos being on YouTube though. Yes, the vast majority of videos on YouTube are nonsense and what's worse is that often these kind of videos get millions of views. That's what Support Good Videos is for. To promote creative quality work and hopefully draw attention to videos that took more effort than filming a friend getting kicked in the crotch.
 
The video counter is a bad idea IMO. The reason being is that it would have to check that you've watched it to the end, all the way through? What if there's a glitch? What if someone changes pages at the credits? What if they skip ahead to the part they like?

Support good videos is a good idea actually, but to make it really work you need a big audience. I'll join up and see where it goes.
