Hey hackers! I've been learning about video production for the last couple of weeks. This is the first video I managed to put together.
Looking for feedback... π How do you like this format?

Thanks!
Yeah, you definitely need to put in the title and first 10-20 seconds what is the purpose of the video.
I had trouble identifying if I am a target audience. In fact, after skimming the whole video I still don't really understand what it is.
Fix this and keep going!
Absolutely agree, need to fix this! π€Thanks for the feedback. π
Great first video. Make sure you keep going.
I would make sure to get to the hook in the first few seconds. What draws the viewer in?
Good luck!
Wow, thanks that makes a lot of sense. π I'll make sure to improve it, some of my inner circle friends pointed that out as well. π
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!??!
nothing to roast! great job! keep going!
Thanks for encouraging me π! I want to stay open minded about this project, and listen to feedback religiously.
yup! i've been vlogging my daily journey as a startup: http://yen.show/
keep going. you can do this. the results take time, but, they are worth it!
Wow, man! I subscribed to your channel. Very cool, authentic vibe. I love it πͺ
thank you! any topics you'd like me to cover?
I'd like hear more about how you balance family - work. Maybe you have a video about that already? π
omg. here you go:

Holy shit, that's deep, thank you for sharing! The other way I learned to think about it is to lean into the family life, and really enjoy it. It recharges you like nothing! You are lucky to have a long and successful relationship with 3 kids. Many many people don't get that.
i am very, very, very grateful. i couldn't do what i do without them!
Loved the style and music. POINTS!
If I were to "roast" anything, it'd be the fact that there was a mini blog post under the video explaining the video. Experiment with getting the message/point of the video... into the video! ;) Then it won't need any explanation.
That said...
It was short and sweet! Keep going! :)
Thank you! π Haha that is true! When you say it like that, it's pretty clear that the video should be able to tell the story without a supporting "blog post". πΊIt's hilarious the kinds of things I need to work on π
I uploaded my first video 14+ years ago! Your video is outstanding for a first video PLUS you immediately found a way to get feedback and then you'll iterate on it. Keep that up and 100 videos from now you will have achieved a high level of mastery! I feel like that was kind of the point of this first video so you're already headed in the right direction! ;)
Thanks, that is very supportive of you! π
Like it - got the same wooden desk at home ;-) Agree with @jcowley that the white balance / contrast in the indoor stuff could be improved. Congrats and all the best for your vlog!
It's a solid desk πThank you for the encouragement! π
Pretty solid - I work in the VFX and film industry by day and could get into some technical things like white balance in the indoor stuff - but that is just being overly picky. Full points for making something and simply getting it out there. Most people stop right there.
Thank you! Oh yes, I definitely need to learn how to do that properly. A lot of variables there π€
