Reviewer Intros

[3rdear11]

It's my business, but does it bug anybody else that youtube videos, reviews/demos of anything (ecigs to lawnmowers) use busy After Effects style laden preset title roll bling, and then cut to a crappy cell phone, or computer chat camera shot of some dude with bad lighting and generally poor video skills? One thing is so out of context with the other.

Yeah I find it odd as well. If your video isn't high def quality don't use a high def style intro. Oh and the volume levels, the intro is loud but when the guy starts talking it's really low.

I like Busardo's intro. It takes two seconds then he gets to business lol.

Some of the intros are 'the best bit'

I'm kidding, what would we do without the reviewers (waste lots of cash probarley)

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the reviews. I just get bugged by the delivery.

Busardo had me the first time I heard the sista say, "Can I taste yo joose?"

His reviews are the only ones I watch from beginning to end because he doesn't come off as an attention who just likes hearing and seeing himself run his yap.

Me too-you start to build that excited feeling like you are at the cinema-then whammo
"Hi guys I'm going to review some small bits of metal tubing, O rings, a screw, silica wick and a short length of wire, and the all important battery-ok lets take a vape, yep it vapes really well"

I think it's because After Effects can be downloaded, but a recording studio can not.

Note to all reviewers...

CHECK YOUR SOUND LEVELS AND KEEP THE INTRO SHORT!!!!!

First PB vid I watched, a coworker looked over and said "What are you watching?" right at the intro. Makes me laugh every time now.
And, I couldn't be more thankful for the man. He not only reviews, but also educates and, like IBCR said, he seems to actually WANT to inform not just talk.
