Since there was the discussion on the microphone, is mine okay? I know I could invest in an upgrade, but I would rather not if it is not necessary.

Maybe I will just send my voice recordings to you first, Pat, so you can see if they are okay. I wear hearing aids so am not always sure how my recordings are after I submit them. I seem to always be using the amplify feature and have my speakers turned up. I am the victim of too many ear infections and too much time in water having fun. I tired ear surgery but it did not make things better, it added nerve damage.
I learned my lesson about having surgeries.


I have constant ringing in my ears so do not know if that is in the recordings or not. Crazy, huh?

Thanks, by the way did you get the script i sent you for Milo Bill, quick Jack, Robo James, and Wild Bill Hiccup, I messaged with the link.

Also, where did you get the background music and sound effects? It all works together so well!

Kind of looks like he may have tilted the camera back and forth. I could be wrong though. In any case a great looking video!

You can't import effects, no, but you can sort this. Either put the campfire on a raised bit of ground (like one of the mounds) so that you have room to put the fire lower, or else build a false floor. I tend to use a lot of ground planes (pretending to the be ground) hovering higher than the actual floor.

Ok, then you can Have quick Jack, and Milo Bill, and robo James, once I get the full their scripts ready I'll send you their Lines.

(I know it was just a demo and that's probably why you used the most convenient mic)

Excellent voice work there!
I'd recommend you get a fairly good mic since you might even be able to monetise your talent.

Isn't it the longer that people will watch your video from start to finish the better Google likes it?.

Clayster, even if you don't get Finger Pistols officially "published", you should look into monetizing your Youtube videos.

The Music industry has taken advantage of bands for years, offering them bad contracts in exchange for all the rights to their music. Lots of people are finding out that they can make almost as much by marketing their work themselves than they can get with a record deal... and they still own the rights to their music! You might find the same to be true for video.

YouTubers LOVE funny videos, and if you set up your account as monetized, youtube takes care of putting the ads on your page, and you just get the money. It's not much at one time, but it keeps trickling in forever. And the more videos you have, the more it trickles.

Also Facebook is aggressively promoting their own video, and due to the way people on FB can easily link to anything posted there, it works well as a way to build a following. I'm not sure if Facebook video can be monetized though.

If that sounds like too much hassle, consider delegating it to somebody else. The bigger your production gets, the more you will benefit from specialists.

Lol I love those pickup lines for milo Bill, you seem to understand his character that's funny, could use those, and you know I been looking for a good sound for Robo James, because him being a clock work robot and with that hollow sound you made seems fitting, and another thing that weird is for some strange reason you hit Quick Jack the way I would always imagine how he would sound, are you getting into my head or what, anyways those Characters are available if you want them, aslo I may use those pick up lines.

Oh and to let everyone know, I may use this 30 minute video as a submission to try and get Finger pistols are Dangerous published.
