About my friend's first youtube video

[dragon6353]

Hey everyone!

My best friend - after 4 years of hesitating - finally uploaded his first gaming related video on his channel.
I want to help him with constructive criticism. If you're interested in his video - which is about exploring an Xbox 360 Demo Kit - please comment here so i can help him to improve.

Good luck to your mate

All I will say is that as long as he is doing it for the love of the content and not to make a living out of it then go for it.

not to make a living out of it

Why? Isn't it good if he can earn money from what he love?

hey yo! a thing for sure is to fix:
the long pauses,
the stuttering
and awkward structure
(my thoughts watching it for a little bit:

okay this is about the content of a xbox demo console?
why is this person interested in it, is there more context im missing, have they found cools things in this versions of consoles before? like what?
okay now its a break apart, are we disassembleing the whole xbox? okay no, we are back to looking at the hard drive content, was it necesary to show that part of disassembly?)


but most of it i feel its just lack of confidence, which is absolutely fine, look at anyone big in the plataform and their older videos are gonna be something along those lines, we all start somewhere.

if he likes doing this and he is in it for the love of game, all this should come with time just from the drive to improve, best of luck to your friend.

also last thing, its always important to have in mind that this is just an opinion post from some ramdom dude that has never made a video himself, so take this with the grain of salt that it comes from someone very ignorant of the process itself, hope it was helpfull maybe!

That isn't what I am saying. If he is purely looking at this project as a means of money and fame then chances are it probably won't work out that way.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I think these are absolutely valid things. I'll let him know for sure.
