Content creator wants advices

Shoken·Aug 2, 2014·2 votes·651 views

Hey guys. It's been a long time since I've started thinking about creating content about LoL. I didn't have the tools before, but i recently managed to record my games and create this video. Now i have other clips in my computer that i will use, and this is just my first attempt to record+edit+publish on youtube.

What i want from you is that you give me advice about the video. What to keep, what to delete and what to avoid. What better place than boards to find advices :D Na people are a lot kinder than EUW players :D Anyway, say everything you want. I need your HONEST opinion to get better. Thank you

I'll start with, I love the music you chose for it. However, I unfortunately have to follow that with a general disapproval in regards to the video concept. I'm not a fan of videos or content that shows people purposefully playing bad or trolling, its immature. If it was a legitimate mistake while playing, titling the video something more along the lines of "Another Pro Lee Sin Play" would have been more appropriate. You still get the obvious humor factor but you avoid the negative connotations of trolling to get reported and upset your teammates on purpose.

Just my personal take on it, I realize the game was lost and being surrendered, but in general I disapprove of that kind of behavior in game. That being said, it does seem like there is a certain crowd this sort of thing caters too.

As far as content editing, I'd recommend removing the portion after the surrender vote succeeds and the Lee dies, I don't think the scroll to nexus and the gg, bg portion adds anything to the video. Also, what's up with the font your are using on the text throw ins? Could use a bit more flair and design, enough so that it isn't just white typeface but not too much to distract from the video content itself.

Thank you so much, this answer means a lot to me. First of all: the shop theme from ocarina of time goes with everything :D And i'll let you know that i was on skype with the dead TF and the Elise, so we were laughing our asses off as you can imagine. But of course anyone who watch the video can not know that.

I called it "How to get reported" to give a sense to the video overall. Whoever watched this video could not get the point of it so i tried to fix it with the title. However i understand that could give a wrong way to watch the video. I'm still in time to change the title though :D I'd like to give it a title more about the dance. I'll think about it, if you have any suggestions let me know :D PS: yep gotta change the font a bit.

Alright, that sort of context definitely shifts how I think about the video as I watch it. Maybe a more appropriate title would be "Trolling my queue partners" or something similar? I feel it gives it a much different sort of vibe if I know you're messing around with friends as opposed to trolling a random player you don't know. Playing with friends frequently I can definitely appreciate that and the fun that comes with it.

Good luck in whatever future work you do!

No problem, I'm glad to help. I'll upvote your post so hopefully some other people will see it and be able to over you some more feedback and/or advice.

Just to let you know, a player in EUW told me that the video would be cooler if i trolled in a game who was not already lost like that and do a mega-throw... Those are the differences i talked about in the OP ç_ç

Thank you for the upvote, hope to get some other feedback
