Yes, this is the impudent copy -paste from the Zulin blog, but I’m already tired of observing all these non -misfortunes and so on.
Please read, enjoy and learn.
The mat was a little edited, and also removed 12 item.
Friends. Very often, there are messages of this plan in a personal there:
Zulin, I did (I’m going to do \ already the twentieth). Please look at him, evaluate, advise something, thanks!
There are a lot of such messages and I decided to answer everything at once with one post.
First of all – I am proud and touch that you ask me. I am pleased that my opinion is quoted like any person. But the point is what. How this question sounds if you cleanse it from verbal noise? It sounds something like this: "Zulin, let me do reviews". This is a natural request, in fact, a person is trying to get a boost of confidence that he does something good (or not). But where does it come from?
As a rule – we are not able to evaluate our own creation. We see jambs, of course, we see mistakes, but we do not see the final product, in fact. The work is reflection, it is something that was inside the author, and his efforts were transformed into something material. The author himself, especially if he does not yet feel the genre, perceives his work obviously differently than the audience. And the author at some level always understands this, as it seems to me. Therefore – the need for approval. Especially – from the part of the successful in this genre.
But what will I say. Let’s treat reviews as any product of art. Objectively speaking, for example, I can make a memo of several points, correlating my video with which you can, in principle, get my opinion.
The review should be personalized. The player’s emotions are more important to me than the game itself.
The review should be informative. You still need to tell you about the game itself, otherwise you will get an early Maddison.
The review should be funny. That is, looking at it, I have to smile at least two or three times (the highest aerobatics-laugh in the voice. Almost unrealistic)
The review should not be too short or too long. The audience feels when the author is taking time. I’m not sure how, but she feels.
The reviewer must be sincere. I do not argue, you can sometimes deceive everyone and convince everyone that you really like Half-Life 2. But if you don’t like him, this is a unique position. Do not be afraid to be misunderstood, the more unexpected the assessment is the more interesting to listen to it.
The reviewer’s speech should be clean. The speaker should have a pleasant timbre, tooth pronunciation and microphone at least a little better than Revo_lucius.
There should not be extra pauses in speech. Tying feeling is a key thing in humor. See George Carlin’s performances and pay attention to pauses, at once you go.
The review should be interesting. Here hell knows how you will do it. You can tell little -known facts about the game, you can joke funny jokes. In general, something is needed for the brain to cling.
The subject of view cannot be a game about which every homeless. What’s new I can learn about Modern Warfare 2? And about minecraft? Count on the minimum awareness of your audience, because, as a rule, she knows more than you yourself.
Enjoy the process. This is the key, we will return to this.
If your overview corresponds to these 10 points-most likely I will approve it. But it turns out that? That these points can be printed, crumped and thrown into the fireplace, because here as in design – the rules may not work.
Two words. Jussiju. Especially its early. Half points fly out immediately, but its videos, in my opinion, are beautiful. Yahtze in general, for example, does not use footage from the game in rollers. There are many options, in short.
So, this leads me to the idea that the only real criterion of my assessment of anything “like \ dislike”. How I like to say: “I feel impulse”. Impulse is such a very, very difficult garbage that does not understand how it works, but I think this is somehow connected with the perception of other people’s emotions. In general, I speculate on this subject somehow.
Let’s get back to the concept of “resolution”. A conditioned person made a conditional review. Since this is his first review – this is most likely a shitty review. Does this understand this? From case to case. The quality of the review has nothing to do with it at all. The most important thing is whether the author liked to do it? Here the moment is difficult, because for the first time it may not like. I, let’s say, at first time frightened my voice, it seemed to me that I was sounding like shit. In this regard, I was afraid of the microphone, even though there was nobody in the room except me. And behind this fear I did not notice that I liked to do it. I noticed later, then then. Maybe other people do it faster, I don’t know.
The essence is the pleasure of the process. The agentspinscasino.co.uk essence is always in pleasure from the process. If I answer requests to check the video, I answer, as a rule, the following: “If you yourself liked it yourself and interesting, just continue. The technique will come by itself ". And so. The main idea of the post is that you, the beginning author, do not need my permission or approval. Neither mine, no one. For extreme cases – consider that you have it initially.
Here is the issue of goal -setting. If your goal is to achieve fame and fans at all costs – it is better to rethink this goal. As a person who has achieved certain fame and fans (Fak, I once put an autograph on the chest of a beautiful girl-where to grow further?) I can tell you for sure. It doesn’t help. In the sense – in general. Well, that is, you, of course, are added to pleasant moments when unfamiliar people write to you, but your problems will remain where they were where they were. But this is because of problems you want glory and fans, I know. But you can catch the mania on this basis, so go to something similar to fame only if you are ready for this, yeah.
If you don’t have a special goal, but you just want to do it, then do it and don’t ask anyone. And from the first time it will not work out, but you still do if you want it, because you do not need a nobody of resolution.
Well, since you were inspired by this incoherent tirade, let me give you fourteen technical advice on execution.
1) Always write the script. Be sure to always write the script. Only if you do not do a flyer. If you make a flyer – don’t write a script, it’s stupid. If you are doing something that is not flying up-you will definitely write the script. How will you write it – your business. I’m writing literally every word that I say in the video, but I do not describe the setting, the situation and all that. So, let’s say, one of the scenes from the last video looks like: "
Hi, I’m Zulin and I like star wars
-Oh, to me too, what do you like? Films, comics, games, the first three parts, the last three parts? Knights of Old Replic, the first or second part? * On these words to leave the frame* and played online? Do you want the key to the key, return only to the end of the CBT, and I watched the cartoons? How do you like Forsa Anlisht? You like comics what? I have not read it for a long time, but I would like to re -read, of course, not to surpass the atmosphere of the film, but there are many more, yes? Oh, butterfly*left*
2) get a general idea of Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. In other programs there is no point in mounting. I mount in Vegas+AFTER Effects. Vegas is very simple, serious. The main thing is that you need to understand about Vegas is how to renders and how to remove horizontal stripes in the video. Horizontal stripes are removed by putting the Blend Fields values for the “Deinterlace Method” parameter in the project settings. Render I usually at Mainconceptavc/AAC (*.mp4). It is better to forget about AVI at all forever. It should also be driven, which makes the button that I highlighted with a mug. Very help, real.
3) if you shoot a living video (yourself in front of the camera, for example), it is better to do it so that the lighting, if possible, does not change. Since we can buy studio light, except after we get the first Emmy (OH IRONY), you can do it at night. Summer and Peter are a shitty combination for night shooting, but if you live where it is dark at night, take a note. In addition – drag in the “studio” all the lamps that you will find. How to put the light right there – then you will figure it out, I don’t know. But home lamps shine weakly and drag in quantity. They say that at least three lamps should shine in the speaker’s person. Left, right and from the front. Pay attention from how Nostalgia Critic is falling from the cap (or has already set up a dispersal?) Three shadows. Follow the differences of the spectra. If you have half the lamps shines with hospital-white, and the other is sunny-yellow-it is better to choose one thing.
4) When you write the script – do not try to squeeze out the material. Local creative crises happen constantly. You feel that it is not written? Distract, go for a walk, Galaxy in Mass Effect, learn to do origami. As soon as the brain ceases to focus on the problem, he paradoxically solves this problem faster.
5) Do not fill up the horizon.
6) Do not wish your neighbor’s jokes.
7) Do not be afraid to experiment. If what you plan did not do before, is more good than bad.
8) Do not abuse memes.
9) Do not be afraid to first copy someone’s style (style, you hear? Do not “steal other people’s jokes”, namely the style). Many artists started with manic redrawing other people’s work. And did it until their own style appeared. You just went to bed, and in the morning – Figax and you already have a style.
10) the best solution to the problem, as a rule, is the simplest.
11) calmly attribute to criticism. If your ingenious idea has been crap on the Internet, this is normal and you should not care at all. Always someone will not like something. These are your damn reviews, you do them – you decide what will be there and what is not.
12) enjoy the process. Share ideas with friends, take into account their opinion, but do not replace them with your.
13) Forget the concerns of this world and surrender to Krishna.
That’s all, I hope someone squeezes something useful for himself from this. In the toggle switch there is a wonderful function to “ask”. I will answer specific installation questions, for example. Or not, but if anything – ask.
