Oddly enough, the post I made to tease this video made nearly double what the actual video did!
This post has got a lot of attention, and I'm so glad. But most of the votes have been minnow votes, so less money for me. But that's good in a way, the minnows are who I wanted to reach and help. But money is also nice lol
It turns out I'll be making this into a series and I want community input on what topics to cover. If you have any ideas, say so here
I would beg everyone, everywhere, to cut back on background music. Keep it QUIET, at least, or intermittent. I'm hard of hearing, and background music reduces my chances of getting it all in one listen. I rarely find time for one, let alone MORE than one, viewing (hearing) of any video that contains information I want to learn. Ken Burns (you are in good company, @sethlinson!) ruined his Lewis and Clark documentary by incessantly playing the same background song. I had tolerated Ashoken's Farewell in his Civil War doc, but by the end of six hours of Lewis and Clark and the same song playing endlessly (mute button won't stop it), I was scarred for life by background music.
I love what you're doing. Never mind my personal aversion to background music - you're great at making instructional videos!
I'm not sure I want to sacrifice my style, however, maybe subtitles throughout would be a good feature for future videos. What say you?
I am a minority in my distaste for background music (especially if it keeps going and going). Subtitles, yes. I never watch movies without subtitles because of... you guessed it! ... background music (and today's actors mumbling or speaking in a near whisper) make it so hard for me to make out what they're saying. (Yeah, I was like this long before I turned 50.)
