Nicely done Reed! I enjoyed that for sure.

Very well done, much better than most promo's I see.

One suggestion .... if I were a potential client, I might be interested in hearing your voice.

Thank you guys I am pleased you like it. Joe Joe because my act is silent everything is said with action. My manager felt it best to not speak. He said that so much greatness is said... by my not speaking. LOL, I don't know what that means, it sounded great to me so I smiled and nodded. Oh and your bird is absolutely precious!

I think just one talking piece in the middle or the end would contrast the silent stuff and make it more profound.

I say keep it like it is. It represents you and who you are on stage. If you don't talk on stage then you shouldn't in the promo.

It would be like Teller talking in a promo for Penn & Teller.

Just wouldn't fit.

The Illustrated Magician is a great tagline too.

Good Stuff as always. Thanks for sharing, Reed.

Reed - cool video. But is the first "related video" the same for you as it is for me?

That is what you get when you try to "scheme" the tagging system with unrelated but popular tags like "atf, nra, diet plan, PORN".(Those are from Reed's video)

Most things work through social contracts. The tagging system works for most users because those uploading videos choose not to abuse the tagging system. If everyone loaded up their video with all those bogus tags, you wouldn't be able to find *anything* using the tagging system and it would cease being useful...

Sorry for getting off on a rant, but yeah the porn video being first related makes sense.


Love the promo video though!!!

Love you video, thanks for shareing!

I liked it a lot. Can I suggest that the dancing words (raw magic, higher,etc) not be quite so active. I don't know if they should animate at all but they definatley animate too quickly to really fit in with the theme/tone of the rest of the video.

Besides for that, great job.

I agree that if you don't speak in your act you should not speak in your promo.


Also, "you're"

Reed,

Hey man awesome video, I wouldn't change a thing
with the video, but here's a marketing tip for your end credits page:

Currently, at the end of the video, your website URL is displayed
for only about 4 seconds. Then BAM! YouTube puts their
own stuff in the video player's display.

I always recommend that during your video editing,
add at least 15 seconds to the end, with nothing but a
black screen and your website URL.
