My longest video is nearly a half-hour. My mic audio's not great. I unironically used MIDIs for most of the background music. I play along somewhat in-character as my main OC, and occasionally give my snarky opinion in text with a shadowed-out fellow in a hoodie.

But otherwise, I do Youtube videos as one of my various creative hobbies now and then. I try to cover stuff I like in a positive light, while also poking fun on the regular. Lot of visual gags.

To test the waters, here's a retrospective on one of my all-time favorite animated films, All Dogs Go To Heaven. It is the aforementioned longest video I've done thus far. I'm tempted to call it my magnum opus, if only for the moment.
 
The thumbnail was cool lmao, great job and keep it up
 
Having watched it fully now, let me say that I really enjoyed the video. You have an even, clear and pleasant voice, and you managed a very good balance of humorous quips, information and genuine emotion throughout. I remembered the animated movie only very vaguely, just disjointed flashes of scenes. I figure I should watch it again, thank you.
 
Hey again, everyone. Was more sheepish about responding than I should have been. Thank you all for the thanks and critique on my video!

I get kinda nervous about my voice, let alone how I say things. But, I am glad my delivery was good, and that I was able to balance the jokes and the serious stuff well. Not to mention getting Hawk to crack up so soon, heheh. If you can believe it, two of my inspirations for these kinds of videos are both Gaijin Goombah and Sseth. Make of that what you will. :p

Here's another of the Explains videos. The first was kinda rough, as one might expect. But in lieu of being able to manage an April Fools' video this year, as I've been working on one I really liked? Here's the April Fools video from last year, not long after I started my video essays.

I’m watching this right now. Liking it a lot so far. Your avatar looks great, did you draw it yourself?

Your voice is so soothing, made it much more enjoyable to watch for me lmao. It's really chill, the editing is great too
 
Thanks again, everyone. It means a lot, and I'm glad y'all liked the videos. :D

I put this newest one into a status update but for sake of archiving (kinda), here's the latest vid on my thread too.
