Youtube Gun Mistakes

[GlockFox]

I am putting this under handguns because that is where I have the most problems. Here is my beef:

On youtube there hasn't been any unwritten rules created about firearms. Here today I would like to start some. If anyone has any, feel free to let your gripes fly.

1. Don't spend 20 minutes saying the same thing over and over again while your gun is out of focus the whole time.

2. Do not show yourself shooting the gun at the end of the video. I want to see stuff go bang first, then I might listen to you tell me specs I already know.

3. Don't bash guns just because you don't them. Unless it's an actual informative video on the handgun and some pros and cons listed unbiased, I don't really care why you don't like Glocks, 1911s, or any other gun that haters pick on. So what you had one bad experience with a Taurus. Some people have not and trust them.

Let me know if you guys got any.

Unless you have at least 10 years experience shooting, know how to use a camera, have an I.Q. above 105, and look like you bathe at least five times a week, don't make
any gun videos. That should eliminate at least 60% of all gun videos.

I don't think there really is a need to do them, IMO. However, I do watch them when I am bored and have noticed some things that bother me. So I'm guessing you don't have anything that bothers you?

You will get used to Sylvain, he is usually the one doing the bothering

I only watch gun videos from a few Youtubers that make quality videos so I dont bother with the ones who make lower quality ones for whatever reason (bad audio, low lighting, no knowledge of the subject etc).
Whoever I think the content is more important than the form.For example I watch all of James Yeager's videos even though some can be a bit out of focus sometimes or have dizzy effects.

Ok, buddy. Whatever you say. I was just trying to poke some fun and get a little entertainment tonight. Guess I should have just stuck with bacon or something.

I vote for skipping the "unboxing" part, and get right to the good stuff - strip it, reassemble it, and shoot it!

Hickok is one of my personal favorites, and I like the "MAC" guy too. The Mrs. might disagree, but how cool would it be to have both of those guys for neighbors?!?

Sorry if my answer sounded rude to you.It wasn't my intention.

Love Hickok. I think he makes the best videos IMO.
Guns-Mrs. The age old delimma.

I have considered doing some of my own reviews. Here are some of the things that bother me:
People that mumble or do not speak clearly and confidently.
Poor lighting.
Background noises.
Out of focus cameras.
Saying "um" too many times.
Someone that appears they really don't know what they are talking about.

 

[Gluemanz28]

This guy has great lighting. He does kinda sound like Elmer Fudd though.

What do you think. That might be a French accent now that I think about it.

I'm no public speaker which is why I would not do a video, but these are the same ones that bother me to the point I move to a different video. Sometimes a monotone speaker has the same result.

I know right... That dude does not need a gun of any sorts.

 

[actaeon277]

So, some people are not professional directors/artist/publc speakers.
If the video is too awful, then yes I move on.
But because a person is new to the camera, or public speaking doesn't mean they have nothing valuable to say.

Yes, yes, yessss.

 

[Snapdragon]

Bad audio is my first pet peeve, and a close second is those long*ss promos at the beginning with their business name or their username over a flag or something for like the first thirty seconds.

He will need some drywall repair, though.

I've been working on trying to put my psychological research into the anti-gun mindset into video and this is the issue I'm faced with. In person, during a class, etc. I'm not a monotone speaker, but that's because you're interacting with live people. When trying to put content in video and nobody is around and trying to reference a great deal of notes, it's difficult to not sound sort of monotone compared to normal speech.
