HCBF to all those who celebrate
RNS video was absolutely fine . Agree - no need to spend money on it . Doubt anyone saw it anyway aside from us delusionistas.

cyberhub What an over reaction. Why was that necessary? The fact is that Blackbird are clearly totally focused on progressing the elevate.io project. They don't have time to do everything else to perfection. |
Don't be ridiculous NickB, no one is "offended" by the video FFS. Some of us are "disappointed" that they could have done a better job with a modicum of extra effort, especially since they are a video editing company, and specifically mentioned that it had been made with Elevate! Suggesting that they need to spend tens of thousands of pounds (or $1m?!) for a 2-minute clip is also ridiculous and patronising. They have at least 2 young vlogger types assisting them, it seems, either of whom could have given a few tips for free, like better lighting and a more interesting background than a cheap window blind. I thought the video's content was great - but the quality was poor. They didn't even put a text label on it saying "Made with Elevate". |
tegell Very good point
Anyway I loved the rns, very helpful
Those offended should not click on them in the future I guess. |
Sorry can't wooooooshhhhh today as closed up shop and on holiday.Will check limits Monday though.In my opinion it is an order fill not seller. BWTFDIK Happy bh |
I imagine they have been given some rules about video RNS given it is new and it probably needs to be a business like RNS not an advert. Also we want to show the ability of the product not the ability of the editing team . Being a bit Blair witch may be deliberate. The ease of learning to use our product is one of its USPs to non-professional editing teams . Maybe style will evolve over time and as LSE relaxes with the video RNS concept
After all I think the adverts on social media have been fairly polished |
Not sure what all the fuss is about.
Looked fine to me.
I wouldn’t waste a penny on an RNS video,
It did the job. |
It may just be a company rns, but it's a video editing company rns! |
It was fine for me for what it is, a rns video
To give it higher quality this is how it’s done professionally
It needs a director to get best performance
Multiple takes
Lighting set up
Boom mic if possible
Large sensor camera to bring a shallow depth of field to knock the background out of focus because it’s a boring white background
An experienced editor to correct the pace of the film (this is a core expensive skill of a high level editor) collaborating with an agency remotely, an approval process with multiple iterations of the final video before sign off
A £5-£10,000 budget or more.
A professional trained presenter can up the level again so another £10,000
Still want more intelligibility Book a sound recording studio to re do the vocals
But it’s an rns not Apple level video presentation at a $1 million budget ( that’s your highest quality reference)
However it does the job for me I thought it was informative! |
I think the quality was fine for a director of a company.
IM isn't supposed to act like some slick YT Prosumer but the more they try and emulate that level of quality the better it will be. |
How come we didn't get a whoooosh today? We seem to have been having them recently on days where there was no actual whoooosh and I have to admit that I'm disappointed they've petered out before the big day. |
shortsqueezer, I'm glad you felt it was good. I hope it's just me who didn't rate it. |
Well I understood every word he said as well as feeling his palpable enthusiasm. Perhaps it's your equipment which is at fault? I just played it back via my iPhone. Perfectly clear. |
It IS great they are leading the way on rns videos. However, the quality is dreadful. IM gabbles away so as to be unintelligible and the video footage and cutting is amateurish. I'm sorry to be harsh but it's embarrassing. They really should use someone else. |
johnveals I agree the delivery did seem a bit fast. I put it down to his excitement about what he was conveying. Also the pace of work at Blackbird must be pressured right now so he must surely understandably feel a bit tense. |
He just needs to slow down his delivery. |
