God dammit you people knew what I was talking about when I said 'overrated' and not 'overused.'
But even most overused videos here in the community are being rated too high, so the use of the word 'overrated' still has relevancy.
As for the topic, it's probably best if I say this: It's not what you use, but how you use it.
Going back to what I said before, how are you going to convince me to like (let alone watch) your video if I seen 50 others just like it? There needs to be a hook in a video.
I believe Kristyrat touched on this when he mentioned videos that surprise audiences.
Let's take dokidoki's Stop Watching Anime and Go Outside! for example. Upon the first three seconds of this video, the audience wants to see more.
I'm not saying this hook is the only reason why the video is successful, but it sure helps.
Btw, FC, I'm not sure what your view of motifs and recurring ideas are, but I'm not going to expand on themes since it's off topic.
And if any of you have problems with my grammar, go bitch to an English class.
English is overused and overrated.

Agree completly, Id watch a LinkinBallZ video if it had an original concept. I've yet to see one nowadays that does. Back in 2000, mabey, if I was lucky..CodeChrono wrote:Technically speaking, it doesn't matter what footage you use, as long as you have a solid concept that isn't overused, and it is executed correctly.
