opinion exchange on youtube

Post by Ri_Renkenzo » Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:52 pm

straight to the point, i have posted an AMV on youtube but I can't get the views since it just started. On top of that there is alot of crappy music videos on there so it is really hard to get up in the ranks. I'm willing to do an opinion exchange on youtube and/or a-m-v.org for you guys. I really think my video would be worth your time, infact, if you think it is a waste of time, you can punch me in the face. jk jk. the link is at the bottom and please, for the sake of all the crap on youtube. help me

If it would be worth my time it would be hosted here. Most of the people here won´t push YouTube people who come along and want some clicks to get up there.

If this is all you want: Get the fuck of.

This is the a-m-v.org forum and not the YouTube one. However... if you only want to push your ego (and this is only a push of your own ego) feel free to continue. If you only create amvs to get into the top ranking than you´re on the wrong place.
Use this hosting offering here or don´t come along with such things.

The final question:
Why didn´t you preffer our hosting here?

Please read this and think about it:

1. its not that we are "above" watching things on the tube site, or that we are too picky or too stuck up... its that the admins of this site want nothing to do with the tube site because it has caused too much drama in the past...

and we perfer not to watch something with lower quality (the tube lowers the quality)... the "comments section" is a terrible place to leave comments on a video.. cause there isnt usually enough room to leave con-crit (not to mention the lowered video quality makes it hard to tell what is good and what is bad) AND some random tube person often times will reply to your comments months AFTER you posted it arguing every point you make... comments should be for the creator alone to respond to imo, not the peanut gallery..

plus if its not listed on this site then how can we leave an opinion on it on this site...

2. when you want to get opinions on your video the best thing you can do is to open up an "OPINION EXCHANGE"...

what this means is that you offer to leave opinions for people who leave you opinions. comming to this forum and just posting an announcement will get alot of people angsty, and rarely have i seen people give out their opinions without recieving one in return....

OCCASIONALLY though I have seen "free opinion" threads, and if you want to try to get one of those you need to:

a. Make sure your video fits the criteria (some people refuse to watch certain kinds of videos, so you should be sure your video fits the specifics..)

b. read the entire thread for any limitations on how many they are giving out, and be sure to count the number of replies in the thread, if your post is an "extra" more than likely the person wont leave you an op, and there is no point in posting/cluttering their thread with extra replies

c. make sure you know what kind of opinion you will be recieving... some people are harsher than others... some people are nicer than others, it helps to check out the entire first post to get a handle on who is leaving you an op, or even check out their avarage scores if that matters to you. the first post can also indicate how long someone's opinion is going to be..

so really this forum is pretty easy:

1. announce your video in the announcement thread then
2. open an opinion exchange to get advice.
3. make new video applying the advice
4. wash, rinse, repeat.
This was a really usefull post Katie...

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Either host your videos here or don't expect anyone to look at them. Simple as that. The Toob is not liked here, and I doubt you'll find anyone who frequents the forums to take a look at your video that you're too lazy to upload here.

If you don't know how to upload here, read this.

im sorry

Post by Ri_Renkenzo » Fri Mar 02, 2007 4:38 am

im sorry but i just saw a dead end on the tube. I am tired of something i poured my soul into to only get 4500 views and a few comments. Then that spent a day on a piece of crap can get 20,000 views and pages of comments. when someone search for AMV, they get get frist pick for they are the more popular. I love AMV's. I have been doing them for 4 years in the making. It is jusr tiresome when your work so hard not to get recongnition. plus advertising isnt my speciality. I'm not in it for the views, just the remarks of what ppl didnt like so i can improve or a praise to show that i actually do have some talent and not just a side hobby. I'm still willing to post my vids here and swap opinions.

If you want to make quality amvs, you should leave that site alone, insted, you should come here and start working on these standards.
Don't give a fuck about those views and ratings what you have there, they are not the truth - at least i think this way.
I believe that you pour your heart into the videos you make, and it is very disturbing that a very crappy video is praised and viewed a lot more than yours - but if you really pour your soul into the video, views and praise and shit doesn't count - as someone once said: the first viewer of an amv is the creator him/herself, so the really thing that counts is to satisfy yourself. Every other thing only comes second.
Btw, your video wasn't that bad, but it is lower than average here. Sorry, but it is only another linkin park video - first off try to choose something not that overused, work on your videos, head for some quality and come back here and i'll surely op your next video, just send me a PM when you've uploaded it here :D
