I think maybe next time I would only use images when you want to show the watcher a specific thing. The constant imagery, I think is a bit to much. I dont think any casual watcher will sit around for 9 minutes and here you talk while the images are playing even if your info is good.

It wasn't bad... There was some good info there, but it was hard to follow. When i watched it, i cleared my mind and imagined that i knew absolutely nothing about swords. And i found it to be somewhat confusing what with all the jumping from subject to subject, or stating to go into a topic then switching to another topic. And yes, some of the pics seemed "out of place" seeing that some of them are adverts for certain companies. +1 for the effort, i think its good, it could use some "retooling" is all.

I stopped watching about a minute into it becasue of the slide show. I think people would prefer to just watch someone talk on camera to that.

Slide shows are for powerpoint presentations, not informative videos. Too many people on Youtube do that, just slap together a slideshow with some music, and expect people to be in awe or something. Use live-action shots of yourself, and try to have a decent setting. Even just the appearance of being professional looking can go a long way in deciding whether or not average joe is going to listen to what you have to say. Dress well, and speak with a presence of authority. Have everything written out, and practiced, so as to avoid ever saying "um". What you cannot illustrate directly to the camera, THEN add in later through editing. Remember, you're trying to make a point to people who are otherwise not like us. They don't have prior experience with swords, and you have to assure them that you're leading them in the right direction. A lot of people make videos with their webcam, sitting at their computers, surrounded by junkfood wrappers, dressed like slobs, and sounding like idiots, and wonder why they have no audience. Take the time to promote a professional look and feel to the video. It's the best way to maximize the audience and not alienate anyone.

Amen, HR. I couldn't have said it better; but it was a decent first effort. I didn't get the money tree reference...and I pretty much stopped at that point. I don't like PPT presentations as a rule.

I thought that it was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, and I agree with (most of) what has been said so far, but I think it was noteworthy, nonetheless.
+1 for trying to assist the sword-buying community. ;D
