I actually liked that. I agree with Reubs, the device of the ’50s instructional video is (VERY) overused. But this was well-executed/partially warped (“I feel like a prisoner in my own home!”) and coming from a large company, it’s appreciated.

I like the idea of making a “How to Watch a Video” video.

@Reubnick

Don’t do it to be noticed. Don’t do it for anyone else but YOU. Don’t work it too hard. You will find that keeping it simple will get things moving for you. More videos, more possible views. Definitely read Nalt’s “How to Become Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent.” Kinda says the same thing, but a lot more words.

I am still working it, BUT I am enjoying it.

Do what my tag line is…
Keep on YouTubin!

ugh. Videos detailing how to do things on Youtube make me sick. Basically it’s all because of my Ill-fated attempt to be noticed by Youtube by making a video about tags for the adopt-a-feature program. I put all this work into it! Scripted it, bought a greenscreen, and got Sony Vegas – all for this video! And what do I get?? A simple comment saying “Nice” from the adoptafeature channel! Ugh! Can I never win!?

Plus, if I might add, making these old timey how-to videos is really sort of the easy way out. It’s getting pretty over-used.

I hate to say it, but I did the exact same thing with my preconceptions and then thought it was rather amusing for You Tube so I let it go, but then I thought… wait a minute!

Nalts…you were right!…(not suprising)..I just hope youtube made sure to get copyright permission for the video footage and music….I’d hate to see it yanked for infringement issues.

Still seems kind of ridiculous to me. If someone can figure out how to create a YouTube account, then they should be able to figure out how to upload a video. Maybe that will be their next video.

Nalts, you should do a spoof on it. “How to Watch a Video” How many people do you think would miss the irony?

Actually, a video like that could actually be informative if you explain annotations, captions, playback quality, buffering, rating, commenting, sharing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
