Don't fret; I'm still working on the last thing I said I was going to do. Uhh, yeah, the Video Dame thing? That's the one. It's got an intro, which I accidentally titled "into.avi," leaving me a little stressed when I couldn't find the saved file yesterday. Stupid VideoPad doesn't automatically save its video files in the video library on my computer. Shouldn't it be a little more intuitive? Bah. Oh, well.
Star Trek! That's the first video film review I'll be doing. Well, I'll really just be throwing my card into the stack of others who have taken it upon themselves to join the Star Wars and Star Trek debate. But my opinions are from a new generation of viewers, and I've got some things to say that need to be said. As you can see, I lean to the ST side, but I can see the merit in SW as well. Mostly I just want to talk about how they aren't even comparable, and well, you'll see.
I'll be laying the ground work today for the show, and by tomorrow, I'm hoping to have some major points pieced together to start production.
If I can get my ass together.
Right now, I'm obviously stalling, trying to come up with the best way to make points without sounding like I'm brow-beating the audience for caring when I do. I don't want to just copy other people's review styles, though. I really enjoy RedLetterMedia's style, which is the perfect mix of comedy, "nomedy," and stage sets that create a real sense that you're with the characters they portray instead of just being told how things are. It's as if they bring you into their world and give you a beer.
Another dude who speaks to me is the Angry Video Game Nerd, and not just because he's some angry guy about shitty video games, but because he understands that there is a limit to how much anger is needed in his videos to get his point across.
I honestly like any reviewer who gets that you don't need to yell at the camera for five minutes to be funny. If I can not be like that, I think I'll be okay.
I guess I'll get back to work now, but my procrastination always ends up leading me here, so if you see me making blog posts, it means I'm at least thinking about trying to make something, so it's a step in the right direction. So without further ado, I shall be on my way.
Thanks for sticking around with me and always coming back to read my junk. Much love.
