Well, that gained about 200-ish new views on the dscan video and about 100 new views on the spiraling video.... and a ton of new comments about my voice (35:1 negative, of course!) Just when I was getting the courage up to do another video... Still, gotta admit that it is cool to see Agony's name on Eve's Facebook page.

Now I've done two things on Facebook today (commented on the vid). That's got to be a sign of the apocolypse for me. Don't worry about idiots commenting about it, GG.

Who is teddk4 and why is he making us look bad?

A whole string of comments in that vein, I really hope it isn't an Agony member. I'd make a suggestion that we disable comments on all our instructional videos, if someone has something to add they can always message the uploader directly, and it avoids the scum and smacktarding that normally accumulates around any Eve video.

No clue who he is, I've downvoted and marked as spam each of his comments.

I do my best not to let the comments get to me, Maudite, but they do get under my skin some. I know, gotta harden up ;)

Edit: Facebook TWICE in a day, Maudite? Watch out, next you'll be playing Farmville *perish the thought!* teasing!

I got the same with the first version of my video. In the second draft I literally recorded some sentences about ten times until I got them right. If you listen carefully to the spiralling video you can spot where re-recorded sentences have been inserted (apparently I'm particularly bad at pronouncing 'fwigate')! :P

I'm not a huge fan of disabling comments, because generating discussion is better then generating content. However, nobody reads youtube comments anyway, might as well just link to a topic on the AU forums for discussion of the video.

Don't worry about the comments. Youtube comments have always had pointless bickering and people acting big and tough. I am curious as to what we did to teddk4 to make him want to say that kind of stuff.

I lost count of how many times i re-recorded that narration :) And like you, I have multiple places where I spliced in a re-recorded sentence!

Anyways... I am continuing working on new videos and will, fingers crossed, have one ready to go later this week. One of our Alumni approached me during the last Basic class about captioning for the deaf community, and possible accommodations for deaf students in our classes, which I find an absolutely brilliant challenge and idea! While I'm still bouncing around ideas about hearing accommodations in our classes, captioning our videos is an excellent idea.

So all my future videos will have captioning - for not only those who have hearing differences, but also for those who find my narration (or whoever I shanghai into narrating for me!) annoying. Plus makes the videos a bit safer for work, eh?

I agree with Roigon. Any person that does not realize that Youtube comments are 99% worthless has obviously not spent much time on Youtube. But disabling it should really be a last resort imo

Fine by me.

Youtube automatically generates closed captions - although they aren't exactly accurate :) Since the video is getting attention, I'm cleaning up the generated closed-captions right now (won't take long) - and think I'll add a comment along the lines of, "If you don't like her voice, turn on captions!" :)

I lost count of the number of retakes I did on the celebrity death match video. Due to me having to do the filming etc it wasn't possible to record the commentary "live" and doing so after the event (and considering how one sided it was) it was difficult to inject excitement. In the end we added more flash based overlays to fill in the gaps rather than try vocal filler. I think I got away lightly with the comments ;) I would try not to get concerned by youtube comments as the vast majority are not worth the time it takes to read them. Sadly ranking etc is partly based on comments which means the bigger channels have to leave comments enabled when they would dearly love to turn them off. In our case we could direct people to a discussion thread here, but that might backfire ;)

I'm not going to disable comments, because even the unnecessarily hurtful ones have some truth in them - my narration in this video is sub-optimal, for a variety of reasons. Instead, I'm going to focus on editing the auto-generated captions so they are typo-less and accurate :) That way I can snarkily respond to the negative nannies "Don't like it, turn on the captions. What? You can't read?" :) Seriously, I wouldn't respond like that ... tempting as it may be!
