I think your format is not too hateful, but you didn’t say anything that I couldn’t have read quicker from an post scan. Be alittle more dynamic and energetic. Add some personal commentary.

I can’t wait to see you grow this show.

Oh, one tip about framing subjects in camera I forgot. Don’t be afraid about putting the top of the camera frame to almost touching the tops of the subject’s heads. People often try to put the center of the frame on people’s eyes or faces, giving you too much headroom and making your subjects look short. Giving a little free room on the sides for people to move slightly is a good idea too. That way you’ll still be in frame even if you move a bit.

Look forward to more in the future. Good luck. :)

Thank you so much for all your input! We realize we didn’t have this one perfect and we are going to change a lot, the comment you left about pictures in the video was awesome we will definitely be implementing that! Thanks again and feel free to email me with any other suggestions : Bree at slashgear.com

1. Get decent quality microphones; either tie-clip or hand held, wired or wireless. Don’t use the onboard camera microphone.
2. Don’t shoot in public or high traffic areas with lots hard surfaces to avoid sound echo and reverberation.
3. Use a camera light or shoot in a more well lit area to get light on your subject’s faces. Don’t have the background be brighter than the foreground. If you have to, use the camera’s built in ‘backlight’ function for those situations.
4. Don’t shoot under air conditioning or fan vents. The sound of wind on the camera mic is drowning out the hosts voices.
5. Having the introducer walking around behind the hosts while they were speaking was very distracting. It looked like he was lost.
6. Putting in pictures of the items you are discussing periodically would help.

Other than that, it was perfect! :P
