I'll be editing a style of video I always have trouble making interesting so I'd be interested in throwing that up for some criticism.
 
I've got a vlog uploaded as unlisted, ready and waiting for this new section. Can't wait to see how this section pans out!
 
Any ETA on this? As I've got a video I'm planning to get out tomorrow, just not sure whether to upload it yet or run it through this if it's ready?

I voiced my thoughts on your subject already, but I'll critique the video here. I agree your voice it a little too quiet. Try adjusting your gain levels and see what you can do. Also with your angle it cuts your dash in half, and I think visually it doesn't settle well. I would go ahead and open up the FOV. It gets more in the shot and because action cams can't pick up much depth it helps pack the frame with as much foreground as possible. Overall, good topic and discussion.
 
Here you go heres one of mine. I'm trying something really different with this one.

Couple thoughts first off if you're trying to monetize your videos this one won't fly. I'm pretty sure that will come up flagged and you wouldn't want a copyright hit.

Second I thought it was really funny when we could hear your voice predominantly. When it was just the music, my attention was drifting. I think you've got a funny start I would go further with it.

Last thought, I went and watched a couple of your other videos, and when your second cam is in a smaller window with your primary cam being the majority of the shot, I thought it worked pretty well. However, in this video when you were switching back and fourth, there was such a difference in video quality I found it distracting.

Hope this helps!
 
It's different quality because gopros are shit and belong in the rubbish.

Not worried about making money off this one.

Have you tried using some of the different metering modes on your GP? Sometimes that can help with the quality. What brand cam is on your helmet?

Pretty good. I don't know if I'm sold on the rear camera window where it is. Have you tried it in other parts on the screen?

Thanks for the crit mate!

I'm not too sure on the options for the rear camera window to be honest. I can't put it bottom right, because the watermark will go over it. I thought I'd put it top right as my head is there anyway.
I'll be re-editing my next video tonight so I'll try another corner of the screen for the rear view and see how it comes out.

I'll post my next video here when I'm ready for crit on it ;)

Pretty good overall. Kept me engaged throughout. I do think you started to ramble and repeat your self a little bit. So there are few clips I think you could cut out for brevity but overall I like it.

Just off the top ...

Your audio seems a bit muffled. Is your mic behind a bunch of foam? Being American, I'm sure part of it is the accent that I'm not accustomed to, but the loss of articulation in your voice makes it difficult to understand.

I like the content. I think it's topical and matters to riders in the area who will be affected.

You've got some dead space that could be cut, or you could work on your transitions to clear it up. See the 1:45 and 3:26 areas for examples.

I like the images you included to illustrate your points.

Some of your points were reiterated a little much. I think you covered the "2007 extra fees" like three times. So maybe a little more planning or extra takes could help prevent some of the dead space and unneeded rehashing of points.

And a note to everyone ...

It would be ideal if you didn't have monetization enabled for videos posted specifically for review. It's annoying for the reviewer. =) You can toggle it on easily afterward.
