A "Teaser" For My Next Video!

It has been a while since I released a shaving video, as some of my fans remind me on occassion. It's true: "real life" and some other commitments have taken me away from my little hobby. However, I have not "hung it up" just yet! In fact, over the last few months I have modestly upgraded my video production capability, moving from Windows Movie Maker to Sony Vegas for editing, adding some production tools from Digital Juice, iStockphoto, Motionloops, and Footage Firm, and getting some "task lights" to (hopefully!) improve the look of my "bathroom video." My next upgrade will be a better video camera (one with a seperate microphone input and an accessory shoe) but that's a pretty major purchase so its going to be a while! I just finished the introduction segment for my next video and I thought I would share it with you here (note that this is my first video upload to blogspot so please excuse any technical/resolution weirdness). What do you think? Please let me know your thoughts!

Mantic, your videos make me smile. You've got "it", whatever that 'je ne sais quoi' quality is. Can't wait to see the next production.

Excellent. Only flaw for me was that I couldn't quite read the billboard (just before the guy screams). Maybe cut from the long shot to a closeup of the board will make it readable, then continue with the scream. Otherwise, this was a great introduction.

Can't wait for the finished product.

leisureguy- Hi Michael, yeah, I noticed that after I uploaded to blogger: my 320x280 resolution looked fine locally but blogger must compress it further. I made a little tweak in my video editor to compensate (I hope).

I'm teased, and on the edge of my seat waiting for the whole thing.

Looks great as always! I watched your whole selection on a Saturday afternoon while I had to click through my defensive driving course ;-) Your videos helped me a lot since I started single blade shaving 1 month ago. And the results get better & better.
