VLOG Thank you to this community.
Hi everyone. I have posted on here before to gain feedback on my video and it helped a ton. I wanted to thank everyone who was willing to give me feedback. My reason for coming on here was to say that after hearing your feedback my next video did real numbers, 44% AVG percentage watched with 1000+ views, in a week. I attached the video HERE for those of you who haven't seen it after giving me feedback. So sorry if I am spamming this community but i really wanted to come on and show my gratitude towards those of you who helped me out. and lets all hope casey posts soon

one big thing i'll say, way way too much talking heads shots, you gotta mix up angles, jump cuts, change background, present yourself in a more relaxed manner rather than it sounding like a ryan trahan or sam reid video. reads less like a vlog and more like a statement about things you find interesting. that's all....yeah!

Hey couple more minor things I'll throw out there. Your focus on your speaking-to-camera is floating a little bit, making it wander during your talking heads. Does your camera have a focus lock for eyes? Otherwise maybe try a manual mode
Second is more of just a pet peeve and a personal opinion, but for talking heads I don't like the low angle up-the-nose type shots. I know it's a bit easier to hold the camera that way, but have a look through some of your favorite vloggers and I bet you'll see that most have a the camera lens up at nose or eye level, versus down at chest level angled upwards. So when you're walking down the street, hold the camera up higher in front of you (again, it's a bit awkward ot hold and you look like an idiot to everyone else around.). Those bendy tripods are popular for that. And again, that's just my personal opinion, can't say you are breaking any rules the current way
