Good content, but this video could have been more concise and organized. S*** is way too long for what comes off as a "rant" video rather than a "video essay."

Great video. Something i've been meaning to talk about a long time is Disney's programming of children

I started my channel with the goal to make video essays that are fun and approachable for everyone, there's no need to be stuffy, formal and academic it's youtube. I get this critique a lot but I'd much rather my videos be fun than formal.

The original draft was longer lmaoooo. I watch hour plus video essays tbh

Will watch later bro this sounds interesting

Yea i thought far from home was the last one tbh

This right here, OP. Opening your video with some seemingly off the top of your head monologue is not going to make people want to stick around and finish the video. You should be coming in with a clear, attention-grabbing (not f***ing shouting and s*** like a lot of youtubers.) Your video seems all over the place for something with a clear concept and point to get across (which is what I assume you’re trying to make.)

Also, get a mic holder bro. Work on your audio mixing too. You come across a bit loud (when you actually have the mic in front of your mouth) while your video clips are really quiet. There’s a lot of stuff you can do to improve the overall quality of your videos and that alone will make people stick around. Especially when you’re making an hour long video.

Good s*** tho, OP. I hope to see more content from you

Just saw your reply about making something fun and more casual than other videos. I’d love to see that because you’re exactly right about most video essays being overly formal and lecture-y. But there’s still plenty of things you can do to improve “professionalism” and still keep a grounded and casual vibe

I see, I personally like the charm of a handheld mic tbh! I thought the opening was rather clear tbh, but I can understand how my constant metaphors and lighting fast pace can be off putting.

Idk I get a lot of my influence from Caroline Konstar and prefer my videos to be more chaotic, but I do get how can can be off putting in this genre.

Defo will be taking your feedback into consideration

Interesting video. I think you should get a lapel mic or a desk mic stand so you don't have to hold the mic the entire time

im not sure if ur into games but u should look at the way nakeyjakey does stuff imo, i love all his essays, watch them even if i dont care about the subject matter the way he mixed comedy / casualness with detailed information is really good

Yea he's one of my big influnces.

Like my 3 influences are

Caroline Konstar
Jakey
Thorhighheels

im gonna check those other 2 out.

U got any fav vid from either of those?

You can more than likely see where the influence comes from

Disney+ out now !!!!

thank god, "formal" video essays are always so pretentious and cringe

you're a true man of the internet for doing s*** the way you want to

I’ll have to take a look at Caroline Konstar’s stuff. Never heard of her

But, you’re right about the handheld mic. Maybe it’d look a little more fitting if you were using a classic/handheld style mic. Just an idea.

Keep up the good work

Thank you I really appreciate it

Bump because I actually want to talk about this and I also haven't even broken 500 veiws.

So anyone could make a movie about say Thor, Indiana Jones, Zorro, “folk tale” type stuff etc. until Marvel/Disney/etc.? What do u mean public domain stopped moving?

Good video concept btw Disney super ownership of everything and the ecosystem they got with the parks and TV and s*** fascinated me as a kid before they swallowed Marvel and Fox

I would notice that on Disney Channel they only ever advertise Disney stuff, haven’t watched in like 12-15 years so that may be different now

The public domain is a body of works available to the general public for copyright free usage. Meaning any song, character etc was open to use, remixing etc.

Every year things are added to the public domain, but with Disney introducing it's first case in the 50s and it's second in the 90s, and with damn near artistic thing in existence being copyrighted nothing else gets added to the public domain IE stopped moving.

There is this weird catch they added to that means like if Superman 1 was public domain, any lore added in Superman 21 cannot be used

Hell there was a point in time where The Happy Birthday Song was copyrighten.
