    Was thinking about changing my style up every once in a while and @SoloSnuggles helped push me to it with help on the voiceover. It took about 5-6 hours since I'm new to it xD but I'm wondering what you guys think on it, I thought the forums would be a cool place to get some ideas since people are already here to share opinions Thanks guys :DDDD

    I really like how it turned out, it was very enjoyable to watch :) The extra time spent editing is really worth it !

    p.s. Wooo Game of Thrones! I didn't know there was a Jon Snow Easter Egg (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

    Cinematic is a great idea I forgot about that thanks for the reminder for the length I felt like it was okie tbh, some where less that 30 sec the thing that I felt made it long was the star wars crawler which was about 100 sec on its own :/ thanks for the feedback though I appreciate the advice :DD

    I really love this style of video but I do agree with @ThaUnknown_ the camera could have been smoother.

    Its... strange that there is a 3 second break between shots. *number comes on screen* 3 seconds *says number* 3 seconds* number goes away* 3 seconds* fade to black and next shot* 3 seconds *states fact*

    Another problem is the background music was at the same or nearly the same audio level as the speech, the point of background music is it to be in the background barely noticeable but just enough so we can still hear it, the main focus is supposed to be on the voice. speaking of the voice, balance the voice audio so the whole sentence is audible, many times you will say the meat of the sentence which is commonly the fact. then a little side-sentence afterward thats commonly a sort of joke. this after-sentence is commonly mumbled and cannot be heard. the viewer does not want to change their volume throughout the video to be able to hear you and not have it blasting.

    If you must change the music every single time you talk about a new fact don't just stop the music completely then start a new song. try to do what a DJ does and (Example) should the song you are playing currently be fast and the song you want to transition to be slow, subtly slow down the fast playing song to half the slow song until their tempo's match and slowly lower the volume of the faster song while raising the volume of the slower song, once the transition of volumes is complete slow down the tempo of the slower song back to its original tempo. that will remove the audio choppy-ness your video currently contains.

    The star wars gag was an 80 second wait for a 20 second payoff.

    tip: when filming if you have your camera on FOV quake it looks warped and gross.
    tip: when filming a broad shot of a mountain or something and it involves walking or running, turn off bobbing it makes it looks smoother.

    What the hell happened at 8:13 I can't figure it out.

    Other than that, excellent video, the facts were interesting

    TL;DR
    do not put 10 seconds of wait time between shots
    if a joke lasts longer than a minute and the audience gets it in a second and a half do not put it in the video anyway (starwars gag 80 second wait for 20 second payoff)
    balance voice audio.
    background music is meant for the background, lower it.
    using a different song per fact is choppy.
    don't use fov quake when filming.

    I hope you keep this up and get better!

    I didn't use quake thats around 90, the background audio was -20 percent so it was lower than the voice audio, I did actually edit the audio to balance volume if your voice is always the same volume and pitch it comes off as monotone defeating the purpose of having range, I did fade the audio in and out, it would sound terrible to try and mix game of thrones with the starwars theme. I agreed with the view bobbing for panning shots I will use it in the next one. The point of the long transitions were to let you here the music for a few seconds. For instance the second one, it plays the song from the movie sleepy hallow, it allowed 10 sec for you to here them telling about the headless horsemen, which was the longest transition by the way at 10-11 sec. 8:13 was the panning for bulbo which I did with the other 9 characters too. Thanks for the feedback let me know if you got anymore questions :D
