YouTube Reviews: SergeOfArniVillage

I'm going to try my hand at making video reviews sometime. So, any takers? And please be specific with which piece you'd like reviewed, so you don't feel I picked one of your lesser works :thumbsup:

Ok, I've got one of my own pieces I'm trying to test out: using Windows Movie Maker, I've spliced images with the music. Now I just need to figure out how to play the music at the same time I'm talking.

Here's my first review: it's just a test right now to see how everything works. Sorry for the slip-ups, I don't think I'll be so sloppy in my actual reviews of others' pieces :\

Nice. You had me cracking up at 1:03! Who doesn't like bunnies? Especially when you can eat 'em!

I never told you my horror story involving bunny rabbits being eaten!

My stepfather used to travel to Indianapolis daily for his job. We lived in a small rural community north of Bloomington, Indiana. One night, he hit two rabbits. They didn't tell my brother and I at the time - we were 7 and 8 respectively. My mother skinned them and set them in saltwater in the fridge for two days. This was a few days before easter. We didn't realize, at the time, that they were rabbit and had assumed they were chicken. Well... Easter sunday came along AND my mother spent all day preparing the meal. Around noon we ate - as we always had. As we finished our plates... my stepfather and mother had these mischevious grins on their faces. My mother then announced that we ate the Easter bunny. We were devastated!

Wow, that takes the cake from all the rabbit stories I've ever heard! Hilariously traumatizing...

My first "official" video review:

Good job Zach although I did have to turn my volume on yt and speakers to full to hear you!

you and Jason sound strangely similar.....

That's.........interesting............

That's.........interesting............

Oh good, we have another thing to make fun of you for! I like the review (although the audio needs to be louder) and I hope you keep making more because they are hysterical. "Not that type of panning..."

We sound strangely similar!! I wonder if that's cause we share the same Birthday?

:lol: I'm really glad you like them! :P

...That's some interesting logic there :blink: Don't really know what to say to that!

Hahaha..these really are hilarious...but they are great Zach! It is somewhat of a review--but also very positive and makes you seem as an advocate of music and this site...You should really look into being a music teacher.... It would be great if you could import the audio into future reviews...

BTW is that first picture a pierogi race!!!? I don't know if you realize what that is but it takes place during every Pittsburgh Pirate game...(I am from Pittsburgh)

(edit: It looks like not pierogies...but a similar event held at a baseball stadium..what is it??)

Here are the pierogi's if you are intrigued now:

For those of you in the dark...a pierogi is a type of thick half moon shaped pasta filled normally with potato and something else - cheese, meat, vegetable....very popular in Pennsylvania and Ohio...

Whoever has not had a cheese and potato pierogi in their life is severely deprived.

I knew something was missing from my life :blink:

And thanks Ben, I'm glad you like them so much! About being a teacher: what exactly would that entail? Would that mean I'm not a "Reviewer" anymore? :o

I don't mean on the site...I mean in real life.

OH, I see!...

I don't know.....

We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose :dunno:

haha..just saying..you could have a knack for making material accessible and entertaining...

I see! Thank you, I think that's a high compliment :)

I just have to step in and say that a pierogi race is the best thing I've ever seen. On a completely unrelated note, I just got a new favorite baseball team: Pittsburgh.

I hate pierogies and I grew up just a couple miles from the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Also... pierogie races? I guess I've only never heard of them because who watches the Pirates? They couldn't even hit a car with a baseball bat if they tried.

I *might* try doing one of these reviews one day this summer. We'll see. I hate talking to cameras. No... I despise it.

If you don't mind, Zach, I'd love it if you reviewed a piece of mine. Specifically "Underwater." I'm much more happy with that one than the "Miniature."

I'd love to, Alex, but I don't know when I'll ever be able to :unsure: But if I can, I definitely will, ok? :)
