Anyone ever thought of trying this idea?

Has anyone ever found people on the org that are familiar with an anime that they are using in their video and ask them to view ithe video BEFORE it is put on the org so that they can get their opinion and fix anything that might need fixing. The reason that I ask this is because I am finishing up a Wolf's Rain video and though I am loving it to death I am not sure if it is as good as it could be, particurally when it comes to the timing of scenes. Do you think that this would be a good idea or do you think that it would increase the chance of someone swiping your video to call their own or steal footage.

That would be called "beta-testing".

The op exchange forum does it in theory, but I don't see it too often there.

Generally, if I want to beta-test, I ask around in the IRC channel, and there's usually a clueless fool or two willing to be tortured by me.

I'm usually in there and willing to preview videos, too. I tend to give a lot of harsh feedback, but like you already said, you want your video to be as good as possible.

What is the IRC channel?

Sometimes even if I'm not familiar with the anime I'll beta test for other people. Depends what it is and if there's spoilers.

I'm sure if you asked around on IRC or pm'ed some people they might be willing to check it out for you.

Thanks. I just found if after I posted my question. My bad.

No problem. More people in the channel just means more people to hear my tales in the world of hentai.

And to address one of your questions, nobody decent is going to steal footage from a beta. Definitely nobody in the IRC channel, at least.
