I made a web show

Nah, you're right. I wanted to keep the pacing very ADD and I was worried about it's length. That said, I also added more of an intro and outro, and segues to give it a little more coherent feel than the first one I did.

What needed to be trimmed the most, you think? Was it too many segments in general (I wanted 5 but decided late in the game Revolution X needed mentioning) or were there particular parts where it dragged?

Very entertaining.

Cool show. Keep it up.

And I fucking love Premiere Pro. I use it all the time.

I think the number was fine, but Journey, Moonwalker, and the Devo one overstayed their welcome a bit. It's mainly the parts where you aren't talking. For example, the bit with the "don't stop--" was great, but the lead into it was too long. Weakens the impact.

Yeah, the don't stop was pretty poorly timed. There was too much dead space between your talking and it. It should have happened the second after you said your last line.

I agree with the Devo bit. I was struggling to articulately express why it was so broken without too much detail, but I couldn't find my way around it. The don't stop thing we thought about doing a bunch of different ways. The reason I didn't do it right after the vo ended was because I wanted to sucker people into watching so it would seem abrupt. You expect it to end right after the vo, so I tried to make it seem like there was something more coming. It probably would have worked better if it was the last segment, but I wanted to go chronologically.

It doesn't sucker people into anything though, it's just dead space that is actually rather boring. I don't think it would have worked any way.

Yeah, maybe. One of those things that sounds like a good idea on paper, but might not of have worked no matter how we did it. Sqoon had an idea where we would tell people to watch closely for an undocumented glitch we found and then cut it off, but I just went simpler.

Anyway, it's like 3-4 seconds so whatever. I can deal with a couple gags not going over. Only way to avoid that entirely is keep trying things and see what people respond to. At least it's not 11 minutes on one game like Angry Video Game Nerd.
