Lots of sick videos, but one thing has been bothering me about some of the web edits these days. For a 3:00 video, it is not ok to have a full 1:00 of intro, or 33% of the video devoted to the intro. A - its boring B -it makes the video artificially longer (like making your font size 13, or writing in Arial) and C - if you want your vid to be a certain length, but don't have enough bangers to add up to that, then mix in some meaningful transitions to take up some time during the vid. This way your viewers aren't waiting for 33% of the vid for the action to start.
Rant over, some great vids this week.
