I'm not entirely sure where to post this, but...

Some of you probably already noticed it from my sig, but I thought I'd get some feedback from the community in a direct post about it!  I'm new to this, and I've already made adjustments to episode 2 based on the feedback I got from episode 1.  Whether you like it or hate it, any feedback will help me.  I've already made adjustments from feedback I received from my national car club forum, which is mostly PS/XBox guys, so I am open to what you think about it!  This is episode 2 where I review Super Mario 3D World, and give a gameplay hint for The Wonderful 101:

I DO think I tried to cram too much into one episode, I was on the wire trying to get it under 5 min, and had to make creative cuts that I think have led me to believe that a game review should just be a single episode on its own...

Enjoy!  Or don't, either way... haha :P

While I'm not certain it's a show I personally would watch, it is a solid start. The main suggestions I have are ones that people have already mentioned, though I would offer a couple of my own.

1. Watch your headroom, especially if you put something on your head. It's a little thing, but it can be noticeable if the top of your head/hat (or in this case, bag) is cut off.

2. Since this show is on a budget, I'm not going to mention equipment, but there are other things you can do to touch up your audio. One thing I'd recommend is more consistent audio between transitions. Either extending the game-audio between clips or toning down the game-audio in favor of something like background music would make the cuts between game footage and yourself in front of the camera less jarring. It's not a huge detail, but it definitely sounds better.

Unfortunately, in terms of the software I'm using to edit, let's just say it's free, and cannot handle the proper fading and cuts even *I'M* used to on more advanced video editing software (I've used Adobe Premiere back in my heyday, this free one is garbage compared to what I used almost a decade ago!).  This is, again, a budget limitation, lol

Edit: And about headroom, I did tell myself already that I need to angle the camera just a bit higher, lol
