    Self Plug, looking for C&C

    Just a self plug, tell me what you think. I'm new to the video blogging so I'm open to any constructive criticism.

    (Taking down video until it's better quality)

    It is indeed in some places. Hopefully that will get better.

    My advice would be to set up a spot on the table where you no the camera is looking, put a mini there and focus on it, then (and I cant emphasize this enough) turn OFF auto-focus. Leave the camera alone and move the minis to the spot you have set up - in other words quite moving the camera and zooming in and out. You might want to set the light balance manually and leave it as well. These two things alone will drastically improve the watchability of your videos.

    Good luck with the blogging.

    Here's my two cents
    1) I hate it when people talk into the camera. Please don't choose to do it down the line.

    2) Maybe go with a slideshow of pictures with your voice narrating, instead of a video? This way you can edit it with more precision, and it isn't like you need any moving parts. This way you can zoom in and out without dealing with a camera.

    I like that idea a lot. It would make things cleaner and well...Less annoying?

    I think so too. Your original vid wasn't annoying, but this would make it cleaner and nicer.
