While watching the VP debate I was shocked at how many lies Kamala Harris told. Later however when I looked online to see how others were responding I was even more surprised to see people with the exact opposite reaction. After reading comments saying that they were shocked at how much Pence was lying and were grateful that Kamala was there to tell Americans the truth I decided to download a video editing app and take a stab at refuting all the lies in the VP debate...
It's turning out to be a huge undertaking (which isn't helped by the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing) but I'm having fun and if people are interested I can post the full thing here if/when I manage to finish it. (Oh and any feedback would be super appreciated!). Here's the first 2 edits!
Sadly due to my available computer space almost all the source video had to be kept at 720p or less so that I didn't run out of space (as it was I keep running out of space and finding stuff to delete to make more room), so my apologies for the potato quality but there's not much I can do about it at this point.
I have noticed others doing text based exposes' of her lies.
Haha, yeah text based would probably have been a much more sane approach:
As you can see... there's just a few edits made to that first 30 minute segment. I'm kind of wondering if I should release it in one big video or split it up by debate topic and release smaller 10 min-ish vids every couple days or so.
I use YouTube for podcasts primarily while working and have no issues with longer videos but I'm thinking most people probably don't and it might be better to split it up. Any thoughts or preferences?
I do like to listen to videos, but I don't. Sure, I listen to a few but I want condensed info. So PragerU has set most of theirs at 5 minutes or so, and that is a good size to get the point over. I really try to avoid really long video unless I just play it in the background while skimming text articles.
The reason I shy away from video is I just don't have the time. Days are full, and video requires full attention to a device. Audio podcasts, radio shows, etc are less demanding since I can do things while they are playing.
With text articles, if they are well written, I can skim them and perhaps figure out the point of the article quickly. And perhaps I might read it in detail if I need to.
I can also search the article for keywords etc. helping to get the gist of it. I can't do that with video, or audio for that matter.
Also, video requires quiet time. It also is a problem if others are near and don't want to be disturbed by it.
One thing I often do (right now for instance), is to have the TV running a show while we are watching it, and I am taking it in while on the computer doing whatever. But never running a video on the computer, since that just doesn't work.
However, other folks may be invested in video (younger ones are I think), and use video much more extensively.
I think video is 'low density' information.
Thanks for the well thought out response. I went ahead and split out the first topic as its own stand alone video from what I have so far.
Unfortunately work is also picking up at the moment and this project has been very slow going so we'll see what progress looks like but I'll try and see if I can get a new segment put up every 2-3 days (if you like it and are interested in more).
@Drenathor I thought it was pretty good. Not rambling like so many are.
OK to share I presume?
@jlrowe sure go for it :)
Hey everyone, if you're interested I updated the initial post to replace the preview clip with the first two segments (second one just went up tonight). Hope you enjoy!
