I liked it. Elaborate on trust in that you always should be honest also. You do seem comfortable in front of the camera. I thought at times you were going to bust into rap.. That's an idea.

You'll have to make like 50 videos just to break even on that shitty camera, a new one is pretty much out of consideration, but I know another oompa loompa on these boards that you could hook up with. geewhizimtheshiz or something absurd like that, think she is or was posting under Urca or Ucra for a bit till she got called out and crawled back into her oompa cage.

#1. Idk dude, you seem to be trying to give off that Situation swagger with the Pauly D haircut. I don't get how you can be two douchebags mixed into one & sale anything.
#2. I would drop the "DEATH" shirt when trying to be taken serious... maybe?
#3. Where the fuck did that money backdrop come from? Nevertheless, it should be $100 bills falling, not dubs... dubs are weak.
#4. @Minad - He's 17.
#5. I think the best part was you being purple, the only reference to marijuana I gathered from the entire thing.

But, cool shit.

Better than a walgreens parking lot I guess. Why are you purple?
Not sure if you have this option on your camera or not their buddy, but that "purple" hue is most likely a "white balance" issue. If you can find the setting all you should have to do is hold up something that is "white" to the camera and either have it auto adjust or you can manually adjust it. Either way it'll change the colors and hopefully solve your purple face issue.

Hope that helps.

Idk dude, you give off a Jersey Shore wannabe feel too me. But, Hell... who am I to talk, I obviously watch Jersey Shore in order to know lol. Doesn't make it okay though... I think anyone with your haircut pre-Jersey Shore & now, should still have to get rid of it because now a douchebag made it famous. Therefore, you don't want to associated with a douchebag. It would be like you wearing a trademark weed hat all the time & then some douche like Kevin Federline starts wearing it... you just have to hang it up at that point.

I think the best green screen effect for videos like this are plain white backdrops. Don't use any image or landscape because your software & skills aren't to par with those sort of graphics. Its easier to just drop a white backdrop, it will instantly give your video a 60% increase in professional style... when people click it they won't immediately want to click NEXT, they'll actually take it serious for a minute. An your job is to hook em in that first few seconds, if your video wasn't on riu I'd never click it.

As for a camcorder, it would have been better to just save another $25.00 an buy a real camcorder. Using webcams & what not are just going to give the illusion that your just another dude with a cheap ass camera & cheap ass video. Nobody wants to watch cheap ass shit, because it makes em feel like what they're watching... is shit. I like to save money to, but in these sorts of cases, buy a better camera, return the webcam an get something better. How long can it take a 20-year old to gather an extra few bucks? Come on...

& lastly... pirate your software online, so you don't have to mess with the cheap shit, free shit, windows movie maker shit, etc.... go get Sony Vegas newest edition, if you want to be a bit more savvy but way less user-friendly hit up Adobe Premier. Both contain green screen options beyond belief, color correction options, etc. I recommend Adobe for creating graphics, but in video editing, I'd say go with Sony Vegas. Just don't spend $900.00+ at a store for it!

I would say continue to use the green screen except instead of green screening an image or landscape, for ex. the money background you used, or a landscape such as a fake street, etc. Instead of using one of those (because, often times, it comes out looking fake & green screened) just use a white layer. Simple. It can't look shitty because it's just white. It's almost like putting up a white sheet, but better because it leaves no shadows, no discoloring. It makes it look more professional for many reasons, one being - it looks less generic. Your money background looks fake, generic, green screened, like anyone can do it. What is the purpose of green screen? TO make something look BETTER. What is the purpose of using green screen when your making the video/background look worse? Nothing. To many people get green screen happy & think that as long as they're using one, it's better or more professional, but it's not the green screen that is professional, it's what you can do WITH the green screen. It's purpose is to make things look sharper, in a realistic tone.

When thinking how can a white background look better, think of this: A commercial advertising a medication, for heart burn, dieting, doesn't matter. Think about the background a lot of those commercials use, BASIC - WHITE - BACKGROUND. Nothing in the background... except happy images floating by. Use that same theory commercials use, they're making hundreds of millions of dollars using a white background, it works lol. I take filming courses for school, been doing it since I was before I was a teenager, just trying to help.
