What to become a Video Reviewer?

[Paulie]

Hey all,

So with all the New Reviewers popping up i thought it may be cool to help them with a simple poll on what you would like to see

 

[free3dom]

Good idea @Paulie

Let's call @Philip Dunkley and @Rob Fisher here...so they can listen to the people

[Andre]

Great, thanks....immediately changed my votes.

Yes, you can.....it takes 5 minutes to prepare for an hour video. It takes a couple of hours to prepare for a 10 minute video.

 

[Philip Dunkley]

This is a cool thread. Well Done @Paulie

Came up with the idea after watching a grim video i started 1hr ago and its still going shoo

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Andre, I can absolutely tell you that no matter how long the video is, It takes a little more than 2 Hours. I actually did a synopsis of hours worked, including fetching and dropping things off, researching, discussions with vendors etc for my last video to get an idea of how much work was going into it cause my wife was having a bit of a go. In total, it was 17 working hour just for episode 3!! It's actually very hectic.

For sure, but the final report can always be delivered in a short space of time, but that will take more time to make it possible. I know, was in the public speaking business for a long time. I rarely, if ever, watch a video longer than 10 minutes.
Sure, I appreciate you probably do this in you spare time. I, for one, would rather wait for a shorter video than watch long ones at shorter intervals.
But that is my personal opinion. Others might light long videos. I just want the crux of the matter. And if it is a rambling video and not a review video - no doubt then it MUST be short and entertaining.

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Yeah , I hear you. I've been trying to bring them down every week, but still struggling to get through all the stuff for review
I will try and get them down to about 30 Minutes in the future, but the one I release on Thursday going forward, will be about 10-15 Mins. Trying to find a balance

 

[Paulie]

Did you all know that the Reviewers all have a private chat with (Pbusardo, Twisted, Suck my mod, Ruby Ru and GrimGreen etc) They said that there Vlogs are the most watched videos out of all and those are all 1hr+ long hmm just thought i would add this in not sure if it helps.

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Damn you @Andre and @Paulie
You've just got my mind racing on how I possibly want to change the way my videos's are done.
I thought I was going to get some sleep tonight, but nooooooo, make Philip's Mind work overtime just before bed!
Love you guys for keeping me on my toes.

Lol sorry bro what i would recommend is give this thread a few days and see the general votes and then decide

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Will do, but have definitely decided that I'm going to do Puza Thursdays Juice Reviews 10-15 Mins

 

[free3dom]

I think Philip's videos need to be long because it's not just a single segment - it can be done that way, but why be like everyone else
Think of these as a talkshow (with multiple participants) instead of an interview with a single person.

It could do with some "tightening up" but that will only shave a little time off, it will still run long - and I personally prefer that. If Phil was doing a single review and it took 1 hour (such as Mr PBusardo) then I'd get bored, but these episodes are complex (like a fine imported juice)

Thank you Peter!!

You make a valid point. Maybe the problem is one of too many segments and saying too little of each thing. All I remember is every juice was great without any real substance about the juice. If it is just rambling, that is fine too, but then it must be short. If it is to be a proper review(s) it does need substance, which to my mind means not too many things to review. Probably 3 at most. Even if in talk show format, which is the most difficult to pull off imo.
I say this with all sincerity and not to hurt, but to try and be helpful. And bearing in mind that I might not even be part of the prime audience.
