xD I liked the review. It was awesome to listen to. xD

I would like to hear a little more on "A Slice of Life" because it just seemed like everyone was kinda seeing the video as a "Past" event video instead of just like a video where the editor was saying: "This is how life feels like from my perspective". Like, I know its like we have expectations of what to see in a video but I really do think that video kinda broke people's expectations a bit and was sending a different message rather than the initial interpretation. xP

Also, if you got time for another review, I'd kinda like to see a review on this one if possible: Silver Lining

Yeeeeah, my bad. It was my first go at something like this so I was really unprepared but I'll more be cutting them up in the future. I'll probably go with Shin's suggestion of having the cut up reviews and also one mega review.

If I get reviewed, that probably means I'm not allowed in that conference xDD

Glad you had fun :3
If we end up reviewing the video of someone that is also taking part in the review, I'll just make them do a silly accent and pretend to be someone else.

I had already decided a while ago that if anyone fails to show up, Fall_Child42 will impersonate them and take part in the review in their stead.

Mine too.
I've been told my Shin impression is quite good.

If it was tons of goofing off and tangents for an hour, I wouldn't have listened to it that long. There was substance to this and it kept on focus enough to be entertaining.


You have no idea. The outtakes were just the tip of the iceberg. xD

The video was primarily discussed while it was playing, but compared to the first couple videos, yeah, it didn't get much love. We actually ended up watching "End" after it was brought up in conversation and didn't come back to the video.

It was my fault for not thinking out the order we'd be watching them in. Next time I'll try to arrange the videos better.

Because you're busy throwing parties in Equestria. But if you see inthesto around, tell him I'm doing reviews and he's more than welcome to join.

Dude, I missed this being released.

The final product is pretty cool! I'm really surprised how long this actually went on, but yeah, on listening, I have to say we did a good job of keeping on topic. Fun watching/listening to this.

As a first time doing reviews in this format a lot of the messing around is excused and even welcome to break the ice a little. Once the group gets into the meat of the reviews it seems like nobody really understands what they're supposed to point out though. I'd recommend writing up a bunch of base guidelines and key points for the fellow reviewers to watch out for. I might also be just coming at it from a completely different angle with different expectations on what a review should be though. Criticism aside. I really enjoyed it though and the fact that you show the video as well as have it on loop really helps bring the points reviewers are making across. There were some interesting points made that I'm hoping will be more deliberately worded in future episodes. I felt like reviewers were holding back a little, possibly afraid of backlash. If criticism or a opinion is constructive then it should never be watered down.

Oh and it's chromatic aberration btw :|

Btw, one thing that I think was crucial here was variety of videos. I actually was the one who suggested two of the videos that were a little 'out there' (The Answer and Slice of Life), with the specific goal of trying to step away from more action- and effects-oriented videos and talk about other things too, like just reading things into the story of the video or the whole idea of what makes a good comedy vid. And I think the changes of pace did keep it interesting. Twitch and stuff like that is fun to talk about, but it's great when things like concepts, category definitions, or "why this is funny" and other such stuff also get into the discussion - talking about techniques and editing and twitch is cool and all, but it's great to NOT do that sometimes. I hope that for future podcasts (whether or not I'm in them), we keep this tradition of varying things a bit - IMO talking about very different kinds of videos really helped keep this interesting and unpredictable.
