My Rant About Videos That Take Too Long
Posted 03-17-2010 at 08:35 AM by Heidi White
I'm sure you know what I mean. You've probably seen a few of these videos.
You know, the ones that simply take too long.
It's like you want to scream - "Shut up already and get to the friggin point! Oh and while you're at it.... please stop going on and on about how great the idea your about to tell us is, and then when you finally get to it, it takes less than 10 words to explain.
I didn't need a 20 minute video for that!!!
and what's with all the AND's and UHM's and YOU KNOW's, and other signs you went into this video without a notecard in sight...
and stop it already with repeating the obvious,
or having 10 minute technical difficulties you can't edit out, or having horrible sound quality, or being inaudible,
or having crappy graphics, or screen shots too small to see what your talking about, or too blurry to see even if big enough,
(need I go on?)
Videos don't have to be perfect - but come on people - try a little to make the experience a pleasure and not a torture....
and finally, if you don't have a pause or fast forward feature- it better be short!
Otherwise, just put it in writing and I'll skim though the garbage and get to the whatever I need.
