Got 60 Seconds? Let Me Tell You About This Beer...

[chrisluki]

Hey guys

I am trying a new format for my video beer reviews, wondering what you think of it?

Trying to reach more than just us beer geeks with the gospel of Craft Beer, thought that by packing it into 60 seconds it might be a better option than my other 7+ minute versions.

Kicking it off with something pretty familiar, crawling before I walk!

Thoughts? Improvements? Ideas?

Cheers

Chris

Enjoyed it. Nice one! Particularly liked the porn music intro! Nothing really to add, I think it's a good start. Looking forward to the next one. Another person might have you for the apostrophe in "IBU'S" but I'm not going to be that grammar nazi

I know u were rushed but maybe cut down the content so you don't need to talk so fast.

 

[chrisluki]

Good point on the ibu's. I'll get my "design team" to look into that!

Yeah trying to find the right balance between the number of words and how much to include/exclude. Think the one I filmed last night is slightly less rushed.

Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe add an extra 30 seconds call it a 90 second review it may give you the opportunity to take a breath, look and be a lil more relaxed. Note I watched without sound (stupid computer!) so I was more looking at body language and the big gulps of oxygen, much like a marathon runner at the finish line. I'll certainly check it out again on a device with sound though.

hehe, was it that bad?
Keen to stick to 60, so maybe the trick is less words!

 

[Seaquebrew]

Maybe shorten the introduction and end

Agree with less words

Cheers

Sound distracts from what we see. Do a test; turn on the news with the sound off, and watch it side by side with your video with the sound off. I think you'll see what I mean. And I'm by no means dissing you, your screen presence, confidence, and enthusiasm are all on the money. More time or less words will get you over the line for sure!

I hate videos of myself.

I wanna see you do the same review after drinking 10 of them straight.

Possibly have a 60 sec review.... and i know this may blow some peoples mind.... not including the intro and outro

and put a stopwatch in the corner. One of those things that noone can tell you why, it just seems to make sense.

 

[TimT]

You could have the Minute Waltz as background music.

 

[n87]

And a pony!


Edit:... sorry, got a little carried away there...

i can see your eyes looking to the left of screen to some notes or something, probably not much you can do about that, the other thing is tho - you are putting things up on the screen so maybe you can start by saying - "check out the vital statistics as they pop up on the screen" leaving you more room to pontificate...erm ~ verbalize ... hehe

good tho - i like it

Needs more Unicorns...

But nice effort

A bit too familiar for my liking..

I am going to throw in "Classics" to my reviews, as I would like to "tip the hat" to some of the trailblazers in the industry. Working on the words for my first, Sierra Nevada, and have cut it at 180...50 words less than the Founders video...I think that will do the trick.

Work in progress! Appreciate your help.

hehe...its actually bloody hard to find free music to use in these videos. I was keen to find some kind of guitar piece that conveyed the fact that there was a lot of info being squeeezed into a short time frame but couldn't find any...the porn music is temporary until i find something better!

I can do unicorns!
