I Got Bored and Made This!!!

Post by LuluandAuron » Tue Apr 07, 2009 2:01 pm

No, no ,no, don't call the mods :twisted:

You see a few of these threads here and there, as well as in video descriptions....why.

I for one can't stand them, and they don't make me want to watch the video because (and I'll borrow from Godix) they suck (okay, he would have been a bit more colorful there). Why? Well because they send the preconceived idea that:

a) no thought went into them
b) it was made in an afternoon
c) LP is probably in the description
d) the footage is downloaded and crappy
e) All of the above

e) is probably a safe guess in most circumstances.

I've yet to watch a video that states this....

I'm not meaning to be pretentious, but they really get my goat, as well as the cow, chicken and hamster. I'd rather watch a video that shows the editor took care in making the video. Even with a first time editor, the care they took shows through.

So how do you all feel about this statement in a thread, or even a video description?

Have you ever done this? Why?

Most of the times I've 'gotten bored and made something' it usually is 30 seconds or less - and considering stuff like that generally doesn't take a long time to edit anyway, the net time to effort ratio is higher than if it was say, a 4 minute video. Actually, spending an entire afternoon on a 30-second piece could possibly be seen as excessive, depending on who it is judging it.

I don't like to hear that in a video announcement thread. I find it interesting when an editor actually names their video something different and titles the thread with the title of his/her video. I'm more likely to take a look at the thread and even watch the video.

In a video description, eh I guess it's possible that the video was a product of bordum.

Most of my "bored" projects are short experiments so I wouldn't dare upload and show them to the public.

But, I believe, I am guilty of adding that statement in a video description.

Okay, you got me there....I've done that too.

But what I really mean is a whole entire video, not just playing around and coming up with something neat.

I guess what I mean is more of the attitude. I was bored......I made this video......WATCH IT!!!! And give me HIGH SCORES!!!! Attitude

I used to say something along the lines of "threw this together a little while ago." no matter how hard I worked it, so if someone told me it sucked, I could just say "meh, I was just bored." and convince them I was better than that. I've since stopped caring.

But your video descriptions don't reflect that Vivaldi >_< I think they show you did more then just throw them together :nono: LOL
