Both are surprisingly good actually. Can't really find many ways that either could be better.

I really do appreciate you taking the time. And I can honestly say this is the first review I have received. Thank you.

I actually liked how you managed sarcasm while having a stepped back view of what happened.

You actually know what you're doing with the camera, and have a good amount of cuts per minute. Nice man! The script was entertaining and so was the representation of the story. I like how you decided to tell it.

Good job on the voice acting as well. And tell the others who worked on it nice work for me. Thank you for actually putting credits in.

Not all things I say are positive though. So sorry for the following. I'd personally prefer if their was more interesting music And that it should be slightly more up beat. I'd assume your target audience are of the ages of 15-25. I believe those are the major ages for league players. I feel that your CPM is perfect though the whole thing. But somehow I felt it was slow, but I don't know why. And can't really elaborate on why.

I hope you message back.

I really do appreciate the feedback. And the things that you picked up while watching impressed me.

And yes! I would love to have better music. I am working on that, but I know to tread lightly with copyright. I would hope to one day have someone able to product a sound I think would fit best. But I would agree that I should have stepped outside of the youtube music library.

And pertaining to the pacing seeming a bit slow, I feel it was fine....But I obviously do, I created it. So I'll take a step back and let me know if I found the reasons why.

I may have over simplified some of the dialogue, almost like I was explaining an aspect of league of legends to a brand new player. Or maybe to someone who never played before. I should have known that this is only going to be viewed by league of legends fans. So a bit redundant with certain parts.

Or maybe the jokes could have been strung along better. Act 1 and 2 would be the funniest parts by nature or the jokes I laid out. And act 3 was intended to be a bit more serious , I say that loosely because they are still jokes. But maybe the joke to seriousness aspect was off tilt during the video. Creating an imbalance of serious and funny, making you loose focus because one part drags on to long without comedy.

Let me know what you think. I really do appreciate the constructive criticism, makes me step back and think!

I'm glad you appreciate what I said. And again, sorry, I can't say why I thought it felt slow. (Maybe I was having a slow day mentally?)

I didn't even think about copy right. Darn, I wish it had occurred to me. Here, this is a website my video production teacher handed out to students. Because in many projects we had to make something that followed copyright laws. (Because their were cases where schools were "fined" for breaking them.) http://freemusicarchive.org/ Go ahead and read the about section if you want. But all music here is free, and uploaded with the knowledge that it will get used. Most of the time you'll find music that has no lyrics. So it's great for back ground stuff.

In the beginning I did think why I was being told what chat lobby was. Comedians do the same thing when setting up a stage for jokes, but even the stage they set is built with jokes. So no one minds.

I really did like the video. I like the concept. My hope is that people will watch it and realize, not just right after a game; that people can look really stupid. I meet a lot of players who look like that. I also sometimes loose my patience and get very sarcastic. And be reminded what this community of gamers should look like.


  • A little story on the subject. It's skippable. We had quite the blazing troll one game. We manage to win, but this teammate of ours was the kind to get upset fast. I proceeded to argue with him, in a positive form, but still turned out to be gasoline none the less. In the post game lobby, I decided two things. 1: I'm too stubborn to leave. 2: I'm gonna screw with you. I'm by all means manipulative. And enjoy psychology too much. I argued with him to get him mad enough to not want to leave. I told him what I hate about this game, and this freaking world too. I made points that he made, to coax him into seeing a middle ground. He went on a rant about things he hates in League, during the rant I pointed out he did the same things in his last game. He is, and was, what he hated. He managed a half hearted apology. ANd told me why his day sucked and lead up to that. Long story short. Even Nasus dogs can be taught they made mistakes, and have the ability to correct themselves. I see that potential in this video.

Act 1 and act 2, probably were the funniest. But I did enjoy act 3 as well. As I watched this for the 3rd time, I thought. "Why not add subtitles from the lobby? Put them in the corner to help infoce it actually happened. Like using cut up screen shots. Also sub labes(Unread text) for the acts to clarify/suggest the tone. Saying act 3. But having the text "A serious reflection." Like chapter titles I suppose. I don't think the transaction was bad between acts.

I don't think I have much to say, that can help. I'm out of criticism. Keep in mind my over all view is positive, and I think you should keep at it.

P.S: I'd like to make a video request. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMF6sTQ7dLM This video is ages old, and introduces types of players in league. I think you could do something similar, with more well thought out jokes. Others also have videos of this theme. I suggest watching them to see what jokes are relevant in the community. My teacher always said there are only two kidns of funny. Slap stick humor. Think Three Stooges. And the unexpected. It's funny, because we didn't expect it to happen. Even if you don't do this, give me hint to what you're working on next.

Hello again Carniverous. I appreciate you getting back to me. And my apologies for the extended response time, but tis the season.

Thank you for the link to that website, I looked into a few things on the site. And unfortunately it is a website listed as "Creative Commons" for "NonCommercial". Non commercial is a large grey area, but I would not use this website to be safe. Currently I am currently listed as noncommercial. But with the mentality of a potential “business” it would be safer not to use it. I really do appreciate you digging up that link from your schooling!

I did enjoy reading your "skippable" story. And the reason I enjoy it is because you did not just quit right after. You felt like getting into his head, and I find that quite enjoyable. And the fact that you ended on a positive note is something not seen very often . The majority of "exorcists" I attempt on those type of people goes sour. They usually they just leave with a simple "Suck it" type attitude, as seen in this video actually.

Subtitles are a very good idea, I have a image in my mind for how it would be completed. The subtitles would only be there during pivotal moments, or like you said to simple enforce the concept. But I would have a space on the right without the characters, and it would be a slightly faded text. Just in attempts to have to text not overlap with the characters. And the suggestion for the acts would be a nice touch, I'll give that some thought.

“Act 3, The Great QQ Storm Of 79"

And I really can appreciate the criticism. I've learned to embrace it instead of feeling discouraged.

To the P.S. Comment I have one thing to say. And since sarcasm does not work well over text here is my response.

                                         *(\/ Sarcasm / Joke \/)*

(Joke / Sarcasm)----> Don't tell me what to do.

Part 2:

I am actually working on something to be done this weekend (Hopefully) with a similar concept. I am going to create a top 5 video. The misdirection is it is not an actual top 5 video of "sick clips".

But instead it will be a top 5 types of videos I will be creating from now on in search of success. These 5 ideas are things that have mass popularity within the league community over media. I will be loosely poking fun at individuals, but never mentioning who. And it's really a jab on the cookie cutters that create videos in search of success.

Here is a line from the new video. "I'm desperate in many walks of life. One of the new desperations has surfaced from creating videos on youtube."

It was nice talking to you again. And I’ve gone ahead and added you on League Of Legends because I feel conversation might be a bit easier that way.
