    This is a really cool idea you decided to do =] I cant' wait to see the weekly news that you make now

    Couple things that you might wanna work on though, but this isnt' bad considering it's your first one
    -a lot of the video cuts that you did were pretty unnecessary; when you cut it to look up and thank penwish, that was probably appropriate, but cutting it every couple words i think was overkill
    -add some music during video clips (i find clips to be kinda dry without some music =\ but that's just me)

    I thought it was nice that you used your pen expertise to let us know about the current news on jimnies and dr. grips though =P good to hear it from a reliable source
    And it was nice that you made it pretty 1/2 and 1/2 between spinning and modding (although i did sorta feel a bit more emphasis on modding, but can't blame ya tongue.gif)

    Next time, maybe add a bit more than jsut spinning/modding even though those are the most important parts. But upsb has a lot more to it =) how d'you feel about donation status, off topic/spammer bin stuff, penwish's moderator status, shoutbox news?, getting rid of upsb's video section?, etc.. i dunno lol, be creative haha

    But once again, good job happy.gif

    I definitely approve of this message.

    Great idea. Besides general news I think it would be kind of nice to see a few things (just a few ideas)

    - Mod of the Week or RANDOM tips or tricks of the trade

    - Highlights on major collaborations


    Things to improve on:

    - Add a few transitions/introduction

    - Add a bit of music?

    - Less quick cut-aways, but more than positive you already know that tongue.gif


    Keep it up thumb.gif

    Content is great but get rid of the transitions. All of it should be filmed at one go, even if its frickin' hard

    Date: Fri, Dec 18 2009 10:53:06

    "But, what do I know about pen modding" Ahahahaa!!!

    But very great! Hope to see more!

    Maybe you can add an intro and ending too, something like what peter chao has, except he doesn't have an intro, but that's fine.

    Reminds me of KevJumba for some reason.

    and please TEK, talk more slowly xD it's hard for us foreigners can hear you clearly xD I have to pause and replay for about 3 times to listen again in some parts xD

    hey guys, thanks a lot for all the great feedback!

    All the cuts is actually a style of editing with video blogers and wut not. It also helps a lot because i slur my words a lot = =.

    But i'll try harder next time and when i get more comfortable talking to the camera.

    Great ideas, i'll try to add in some of those topics next time.

    as for the music, ive used so many in my past videos (spinning vids) and all of them have a copyright warning on them. I dont want these

    next shows to be muted or anything. I will try to add in an intro tho if i come up with a good one. smile.gif

    I know the english was going to be a problem considering a lot of spinners aren't english spoken or dont speek the language very well.

    And they say, usually Californians speak really fast lol.... If i talk slower, it might add in more to the dryness because there is no music. I'll see what i can

    do.

    LOL i listened to the beginning before you said "today is a very special day" three times and I still didn't get it.
    It's okay though, the important stuff was after that.

    But anyway, much appreciation for this video..I was thinking of how I could catch up on PS news. Well I found my answer biggrin.gif
    Don't stop making these, big boy.

    Oh yeah, what pen did vic use? It looks to me kind of...like a buster? mellow.gif

    Oh yeah, and this totally reminded me of sxephil smile.gif

    hey nice idea TEK, keep it up!

    some comments:

    - maybe some intro music or something and more editing, i don't really know how this kind of show works though.
    - you cut the video a little bit too much and it disrupts the flow of conversation, it's hard to follow sometimes.

    -> about the prizes:

    we always supplemented our prizes with pens. it's obvious that a PS competition has a pen prize. in the WC08, the rings were bundled up with some pens by Penwish. so we don't even think about pens included in the prizes anymore, we try to add something more original to it. last time we came up with rings. but pens are always always included, it's like an afterthought now.

    I don't know if there's enough going on in the PS world to have a weekly show, but I guess we'll see.

    and the winner of PMWT is gonna be KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

    -> if ppl say you speak too fast, add subtitles or editing that shows what the current topic is.

    i know that vloggers do this, even youtube celebs like fred do it. but if ur thinking of news , yea i thought should be more news style.

    take a look at fingerboard TV:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2FrYzMyGVg

    an intro would be good as well. maybe use a microphone to add to the realism, (even if u plan to use it as a prop)

    you can still be fun and informal without removing that style. and if that is ur first try, i would say you are alrd really confident about speaking in front of the camera face to face. u just need abit of practice and it will be all good. i totally enjoyed it, the timelength was perfect. its weird because i really hate talkshows but u made it really interesting and good.

    Date: Sun, Dec 20 2009 01:07:10

    nice video

    but if you are going to cut alot, make it seem overly deliberate
    ie. change your position between cuts
    you did some of that, and that was much better than the other cuts where you just stayed in the same position on screen
    that kinda makes it look like bad editing, where as the other method (although it may become annoying to some viewers) will seem more deliberate, and not look like dodgy editing

    ideally, doing it all (or most) in one take is the best, but if not, the above method can work
    a mix of both maybe

    wtf? hopefully youre being sarcastic.
    havin some cuts is actually better than not havin any imo
    it seems a bit boring if its just a one go vid
    thats why a lot of youtube stars have a lot of cuts in their vids

    anyway, nice vid TEK!
    I like this idea. pretty refreshing.
    I agree with most of the people above.
    add some bgm. no excessive cuts. and i think you should have more of an attitude so its more exciting biggrin.gif
    let go of yourself lol

  17. tylt
    Date: Mon, Dec 21 2009 11:42:50

    I think this is a really cool idea and I like the effort you put on it. I think a couple like
    weekly bits could be in order where you solve some modding conundrum on cam like getting
    of g2 grips or sanding techniques or something. or maybe like a trick tips sections where
    you break down a difficult trick or something. This was really refreshing though and I enjoyed
    it alot smile.gif

    Tek = cool.gif

    I agree with both statements. Subtitles would be nice and so would an intro. Also, some music during the combo of the week would be nice. Something suspenseful and epic would fit in well. You could also add in some more ideas for the show like trying to get in touch with spinners through youtube/aim and have them guest star, could be nice if done right. Oh, and show off your mods, tek. We'd like that.

    A trick of the week would also be nice and maybe some more news upsb oriented.

    Imo, pretty nice for a first episode. I enjoyed it.

    Clearly, it seems that no one has seen a video blog or anything of the sort before.
    TEK, I liked the style you used, and it kept my attention.
    It seems like this could be a pretty neat project to unfurl if you make it look like an actual news broadcast:
    Examples:
    • Bottom scrolling news info
    • cut to a different person giving info on another specific topic

  21. strat1227
    Date: Tue, Dec 22 2009 17:06:49

    I know that it's a style of video (not one that I particularly like), but even in the kinda 'pro' bloggers that use it, it's used sparingly. In this video there was literally 3 segments for 1 sentence at one point, which is a little overkill. In the end it's up to you to decide how you want to do your video.

    Overall though, definitely very nice, keep making them. clap.gif clap.gif

    yea second one was way better tongue.gif

    my tip, have some sort of elevator music in the backgroung barely there (livelavalive does that and it helps alot)

  26. k-ryder
    Date: Sat, Dec 26 2009 02:40:55

    we have an intro this time

    the audio level went down when you sat back from the screen (obviously, since the mic is further away) but it interfered with the consistant audio level
    the mic idea that was posted sometime earlier in the thread can help

    YAY! ITS CHRISTMAS! YAY! XD

    and background music helps
    even the music you used for the intro, turned down might work

  27. SJ
    Date: Sat, Dec 26 2009 02:58:32

    nice one tek
    the intro was vcool
    the talking part can get a little dry so maybe some laid back bgm?
    and an outro would be cool too
